The Richest Heir CHAPTER 47
Leaving the sales room and the very overbearing manager behind, Caleb hailed a taxi to go home.As the taxi carried him, he reflected on the tiring day. A smile crept onto his face as he thought about Sophia.Recalling the restroom incident where he was attacked from all corners by Kenneth, Tracy, and Amanda, he appreciated Sophia's stand. She was the only one trying to persuade Amanda to let things go, believing that the splashing water incident was just an accident. Caleb wanted to get to know her better and hoped she could see the real him, not the image that her stepsister might have painted.Upon arriving home, it was already quite late, and Caleb's body was worn out from the day's emotional events.He felt a headache creeping in, signaling the toll the day had taken on him.In the kitchen, he retrieved painkillers from the cabinet, his tired hands struggling with opening the bottle. Frustration lingered in muttered curses, his fatigue more evident than he had realized.After w
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 48
Caleb lay in bed, staring at his mobile, replaying the events in his mind. The realization hit him – someone was pretending to be him by hacking into his old account. The confusion lingered, as he questioned why anyone would bother stealing an account with not a single cent.It simply didn't make sense.As Caleb pondered the mysterious account theft, a specific thought crossed his mind – could @Inappropriatefan124 be behind it? However, he swiftly dismissed the idea upon realizing that the thief hadn't utilized Caleb's fame to promote other streamers.A couple of days ago Caleb had learnt from Emily, that this person @Inappropriatefan124 was actually the owner of a broadcasting company, and wanted desperately for Emily to sign up for his company.If this person had stolen Caleb's account, it would be logical to leverage his popularity for promoting his own singers and anchors. Yet, the thief simply gifted helicopters to Emily and disappeared.Left utterly confused, Caleb couldn't com

Caleb just stared at her shocked. He knew she was being played...but the fact was, how was he going to tell her the truth. THAT HE WAS KING! Caleb felt as if the distant thunder and lightning had suddenly struck him. He never anticipated that Emily would harbor such feelings for King, let alone be willing to start a relationship with him."You've got to be kidding me," were the first words that echoed in Caleb's mind as he heard her.Emily had no clue that the real King was standing right next to her, and the person she was eagerly anticipating having dinner with was an impostor.The hacker had rewarded a $20,000 gift to Emily during her live broadcast tonight, perhaps thinking he could win her heart with this sum of money.Emily possessed genuine kindness and a heart of gold, and Caleb recognized that she deserved better than what the hacker was attempting.Caleb had not planned to disclose his identity as King to Emily, which is why he did not to respond to her messages in private

"I know King because.....""Because what Caleb?""Because it's me! I'm King" he finally blurted out.Emily's mouth hung open as she attempted to absorb Caleb's words. His shocking revelation rendered her speechless, her mind struggling to catch up with the present.Just five minutes ago, she was eagerly sharing her anticipation about meeting King, seeking his opinion. Now, Caleb was insisting that he is King.She stood stunned. Her mouth opened and closed, but no words came out as she stared at her so-called best friend."What did you just say, Caleb?" She stared at him in disbelief, trying to process his words.Caleb's shoulders sagged as he momentarily looked away. "I'm the real King," he repeated, returning his gaze to her. "The man you chatted with today is an imposter, possibly a hacker or even a thief. I don't know."In an effort to shield Emily from potential deception and heartbreak, he felt compelled to reveal the truth.Emily just stood frozen as she just stared at Caleb.
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 51
Caleb felt defeated. Emily wasn't willing to trust him enough to believe his words.He let out a long breath."Just forget it, Emily. Since you're not willing to believe that I am King, there is nothing I can do."Emily nodded and shrugged her shoulders.But deep down, he was right; she didn't believe him.Caleb gritted his teeth to stop the hurt from her lack of trust from doubling him over. He wasn't strong."Well, it's really late; I better get going," she pointed to the closed door."See you later, okay. And I know you think that my reaction is stupid, but you did take your joke a little too far."Caleb didn't utter a single word. He just stared at her, at a loss for words.Emily could feel that something was not right with Caleb. Something was nagging at him, so she decided to give him time to sort out his thoughts or whatever he had going on.She stared at him for a long moment. He was a simple guy, and she couldn't quite read his face to understand what was going on in his mind
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 52
Emily held her breath, realizing it wasn't worth saying anything further as Caleb remained adamant in his determination to continue lying to her face, that he was King.She wasn't convinced by anything he had said. If she was totally honest, she hadn't wanted to hurt his feelings due to the undeniable friendship bond that had grown between them.But Caleb had crossed the line, fabricating an unbelievable story and expecting her to take his word for it. She imagined it would be hard for anyone to believe his words. She turned to look at Caleb one more time. His face was stony, hiding anything feelings he may have. She didn't know what to say to him anymore. His lips were pressed together into a thin line. This was a new Caleb. She hadn't seen him like this in the short time she had known him, and she wasn't sure she liked it.A little pulse jumped rapidly in his temple. If she had to describe the way he looked, she'd say he was angry. But why?He was the one lying.He hadn't said
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 53
Seething with resentment, Kenneth glared at Caleb, who sat obliviously, seemingly without a care in the world. The incident at The Royal Palm Restaurant lingered in Kenneth's mind, and he couldn't shake off the humiliation. The fallout had extended beyond the restaurant, straining his relationship with his father, who hadn't spoken to him since Stephen severed their ties."My Dad hasn't talked to me since Stephen broke his friendship with me!" Kenneth hissed under his breath, Tracy comforting him with a soothing touch on his arm."All because of him. That delivery boy managed to turn the manager against me. I don't know what he said or did to get the manager on his side, but he will regret ever crossing me!" Kenneth fumed, his eyes burning with a fierce determination for revenge."He'll get what's coming to him!" Amanda seethed under her breath.Tracy nodded her head in agreement with her boyfriend's words. She scrunched up her face, fully aware that somewhere along the line, Caleb w

"Boy, don't dawdle. Hurry up. I don't have all day," she ordered, turning her head without a hint of improved mood."Professor Hanks, what did I do? Why are you taking me to the dormitory?"She maintained her silence, marching on, and Caleb's anxiety grew with every step. The journey to the dormitory was filled with tense silence, leaving Caleb perplexed and uneasy."Ma'am, why are we heading towards the dormitory?" Caleb inquired as he followed closely behind."You'll find out soon enough," she replied with a poker face, maintaining her brisk pace toward the dormitory in her high heels.Upon reaching the professor's dormitory, she unlocked the door and headed straight to her bed. Seating herself, she crossed her legs and fixed Caleb with a fierce look.Caleb swallowed the lump in his throat. Whatever she was about to say, it didn't bode well for him. He could sense he was in deep trouble."So, you want to know why I brought you here, especially to my room?" she asked, not once lookin
