The Richest Heir CHAPTER 192
Back to the castle college sports field... The bell rang, signaling the end of PE class. The students, sweating from the heat and basketball practice, sighed with relief as they grabbed their water bottles and drank hungrily. "Man, Carl was gruesome today with his orders," Tommy said, wiping sweat from his brow. "Seriously, it's like he's out to get everyone." Jake and Caleb chuckled and nodded in agreement. Jake, feeling the heat, poured the rest of his water bottle over his head. "Yeah, he definitely pushed us hard today," Jake said, shaking his wet hair and feeling a bit cooler. Tommy looked down at his watch and saw the time. He realized he wouldn't be needing to meet Jackie for a while, not until after he had seen his professor. His stomach growled, reminding him that he needed to grab something to eat first. "I'm starving," he muttered. Caleb overheard and turned to both Jake and Tommy with a grin. "Hey, how about I buy lunch for us? My treat." Tommy looked at Ca
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 193
As they approached the cafeteria, Tommy's phone chimed once again, and he sighed as he saw Jackie's name on the screen. Jake and Caleb exchanged amused glances, anticipating what was about to unfold. "Someone's missing her honey bunny buns," Jake teased in an exaggeratedly sweet tone. Tommy shot him a hard look, and Jake quickly pretended to zip his mouth shut. "Jackie, we're almost there.... " Tommy answered, bracing himself for her impatience. "Well, hurry up," came Jackie's voice, laced with frustration. "I've been waiting forever. Cassie and I are starving, and we need to eat something soon." Tommy rolled his eyes, feeling the familiar exasperation rise. Before he could respond, Jackie continued, "And make sure you bring that loser friend of yours, Caleb. Cassie wants to meet him." Tommy's expression shifted from annoyance to confusion, the sudden change in Jackie's attitude catching him off guard. "Wait a second..." he said, glancing over at Caleb. He walked a few steps
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 194
Tommy walked quietly, his mind racing as he tried to figure out what Jackie and Cassie could be up to. He replayed their conversation in his head, searching for any clues or hints that might shed light on their sudden change in behavior. Was there something Jackie wasn't telling him? Why did she seem eager all of a sudden for Caleb to come? She hated the man with a passion and would normally never allow Cassie within a hundred feet of him. Tommy couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the situation than met the eye. As he approached the cafeteria, he resolved to keep a close eye on Jackie and Cassie, determined to uncover the truth behind their mysterious actions. Outside the cafeteria door, Caleb put his hand on Tommy's shoulder, prompting him to stop and look over his shoulder at him. "Hey, you okay?" Caleb asked, his concern evident in his eyes. "You seem a bit off." Tommy sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just... Cassie is here with Ja
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 195
Tommy observed Jackie and Cassie, both engrossed in their mobile phones, and leaned over to Caleb. "Now's your chance to run," he whispered with a smirk. Caleb chuckled in response, but Jake chimed in, adding a note of caution. "Just be careful, okay Caleb?" he said, his tone serious. Caleb could sense the worry in his friends' expressions, their concern evident as they glanced at him. But Caleb wasn't fazed. He knew better than to believe Cassie was here to humiliate him. After all, now that Cassie knew his true identity and his immense wealth, he understood that her attitude towards him had shifted dramatically. He was well aware that Cassie was here to fawn over him, to try and seduce him like she had attempted the other night. While his friends might be apprehensive, Caleb felt confident in his ability to handle the situation. He remained calm, steeling himself for whatever Cassie had in store. As they approached the table where the two women awaited, Caleb was keenly
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 196
"Jackie..." Both women turned their heads towards them, their expressions shifting accordingly. Jackie's smile appeared forced as she noticed Caleb with Tommy, while Cassie's grin stretched across her face, seemingly larger than life as she returned from her friend's table. A flash of disgust crossed Jackie's face as she turned to look at Cassie. "That loser delivery boy is coming here? Are you planning on humiliating him right now or a little later?" she whispered, her voice tinged with eagerness. "Actually, now would be perfect," she continued, her eyes scanning the packed cafeteria. "Look around, it's full of people. This is the best time to make sure everyone sees it," she added, her tone dripping with anticipation. "I was thinking maybe—" she began, her mind already racing with ideas on how to make the scene as humiliating as possible for Caleb. But before she could finish her sentence, Cassie hastily walked past her towards Caleb, chirping happily, "Caleb, you're here!
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 197
A faint smirk danced across Caleb's lips, though his outward demeanor remained composed. Internally, he chuckled at the irony of the situation. There was no need for him to feign wealth because, in truth, he was immensely wealthy. Ignoring Cassie's glares, Jackie squared her shoulders and addressed Caleb directly. "You didn't need to explicitly say you were rich," she began, her voice unwavering. "But you certainly gave off that impression when you were generously buying drinks for everyone at the table at the bar. It was obvious you were trying to impress everyone, including my cousin. And I'm damn sure you didn't have the money to cover those drinks. I bet my boyfriend here gave you the money to make you look good in front of everyone." Tommy reached out, gently grasping Jackie's arm, his touch urging her to reconsider. "Jackie, please, let's not make a scene," he pleaded, his voice barely above a whisper. "This isn't the time or place for this. We're in a crowded cafeteria.
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 198
Jackie crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing as she continued, "All I asked was for your 'friend,'" she air quoted sarcastically, "to apologize to Cassie. Not a big crime, right?" Her tone dripped with sarcasm and frustration, emphasizing her point as she looked around at the watching students. Tommy had enough of Jackie’s relentless attempts to humiliate Caleb. Stepping forward, he firmly said, "Okay, Jackie, that's enough. You're going too far. This isn't fair to Caleb, and it's not helping anyone." Jackie laughed, the sound sharp and mocking. "Me? Going too far?" she pointed at herself, her eyes flashing with indignation. "And what about your friend? Didn't he go too far that night at the club? Pretending to be something he's not? Trying to fool everyone, especially Cassie? You think that's okay?" Her voice rose with each word, dripping with anger and frustration. "I can't believe you're defending him after what he did." Tommy's face tightened with frustration. "So wh

"Are you out of your mind? Stop this foolishness and let's go!" "No, Jackie. I'm staying." Jackie's body tensed, her eyes locked onto Cassie, desperately searching for any sign of what was transpiring within her cousin's mind. The words hung heavy in the air, and Jackie felt her chest tighten as she struggled to comprehend the situation unfolding before her. "What on earth are you saying, Cassie?" she exclaimed, her voice laced with disbelief and a tinge of desperation. The cafeteria buzzed with chatter, but in that moment, all sound seemed to fade away, leaving only the weight of everyone's eyes on Jackie. She felt a surge of uncertainty, her thoughts racing as she tried to unravel the mystery behind Cassie's words. As murmurs rippled through the cafeteria, Jackie noticed the stunned expressions on the faces of her classmates. However, it was Jake and Tommy whose reactions were most pronounced. Their eyes widened with disbelief, their expressions mirroring the shock
