The Richest Heir CHAPTER 54
"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

"I think it was the man who was here before I entered. He must have heard me calling your name and made a run for it. Maybe I startled him with my sudden appearance. I didn't give him the chance before, but later when you were out, he could have come back to steal the underwear," Caleb said as he continued to fabricate his story.Professor Hanks lifted her eyes and looked at Caleb with narrowed eyes. She stared at him for a few minutes, and he couldn't understand what she was thinking.She continued to stare ......."A man....."Here....:"In my dormitory...""Who ran away....""Hmmmm....."Her words, in a tone od disbelief. As if she didn't believe a word of what he just said.There were no words to describe Caleb's feelings at the moment. His nerves were getting the better of him. He wasn't sure if the professor believed him or not.But no matter what, he was innocent. He didn't steal the underwear. But somebody obviously did.She looked at him, still a little skeptical."So let me
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 56
Closing the door behind him, Caleb leaned against it and took a few deep breaths, attempting to calm his nerves.Despite inheriting thousands and billions, and his life undergoing a drastic change, there was one thing that hadn't changed —The only thing that he couldn't shake off, was his nerves when faced with Professor Hanks. He couldn't understand what it was about her that always had him on edge. A nervousness that hevfelt deep down to his bones.Taking a few more deep breaths and regaining control over his nerves, he made his way back to class.The bell rang, marking the end of the class, and students began to buzz with conversations, many focusing on Caleb and the missing professor. The discussions took a crude turn:"Class is over, and the professor and Caleb still haven't returned. I wonder what they're up to.""Was Caleb getting a special lesson from Professor Hanks?""Probably enjoying some secret perks. Lucky guy!""Wonder what kind of 'class' he's having with her, definit
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 57
The students' reactions varied from shock to excitement as they processed the surprising information about King's identity.Caleb thought the same question: "Who was he?""I know most of the students here are wealthy, but not so rich that he can easily spend so much money in rewards in one go... Now, that is unbelievable," one student voiced, expressing skepticism about the financial capacity of their fellow students.The other students nodded in agreement. The revelation about King being a student at their college left them puzzled. "This King guy is very mysterious, even scary if you ask me. Nobody knows anything about him. Ordinary people like us can't even imagine spending that amount of money on a girl we don't even know," Tommy remarked, sharing his perspective on King."I agree, Tommy. A man who can spend millions of dollars on a girl in her broadcast room is definitely no ordinary person," Jake concurred with a smile.Kevin nodded knowingly, "Oh, he's definitely not an ordin

"Caleb...""Caleb..."Feeling a gentle shaking on his arm, Caleb slowly opened his eyes. At first, everything seemed a bit hazy as he looked up at Tommy, who was staring down at him with Jake beside him, wearing a small smile."Caleb, get up. Are you planning on sleeping here till morning? The lecture's over, the professor has left, and so has the rest of the class," Tommy said."Yeah, man, you sleep like the dead. We've been trying to wake you up for the last ten minutes," Jake added.Caleb rubbed his eyes and looked around the now-empty classroom. Indeed, it was deserted, with only the three of them remaining."I can't believe I fell asleep..." Caleb mumbled."Come on, hurry up, we're going to the bar, remember to get some drinks with the girls!" Tommy exclaimed with excitement as he picked up his backpack and pulled it over his shoulders."Jackie is waiting outside the campus for us, and it isn't nice to keep a lady waiting," he added with a huge smile."Ladies, Tommy... Ladies," J
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 59
Caleb glanced at Jackie before lowering his eyes to the ground. He hadn't been interested in going to the bar in the first place. His agreement to come was merely to avoid upsetting Tommy or Jake. Besides, Jackie's unwelcoming attitude hinted that her friends might be equally inhospitable. It seemed best for him to leave."Alright.....""Wait a minute!" Tommy finally uttered, stopping them in their tracks.Tommy grabbed Caleb by the arm, wearing a helpless expression.Caleb stopped and turned to look at him.Tommy had invited his friend to the bar for drinks with the hope of introducing him to one of Jackie's friends. He longed for someone to come into Caleb's life, who could see past the poor exterior and appreciate his good heart. Someone who was better than Tracy. If Caleb left, what was the point of going to the bar?Jake forcefully pushed Tommy's hand away, which was still holding onto Caleb's arm."Didn't you just hear what your so-called girlfriend said about our friend? How

"Where are you, Jackie? Alice and I have been waiting at the bar for the last twenty minutes, even Sophia is late. Weren't you supposed to introduce us to some handsome guy? Where are they, and where are you?""There is no handsome guy. He's a good-for-nothing trash, not worth introducing to anyone," Jackie replied harshly, her gaze fixed on Caleb with hatred in her eyes."Good for nothing trash. What are you talking about, Jackie?" Suzie asked in a puzzled tone."Don't ask...anyways, today's plan has been canceled, so I'm heading towards my dormitory. Why don't you guys come over?" Jackie replied with a sigh as she took another look at Tommy."What?! What do you mean canceled? Are you kidding me right now? Do you know how packed this bar is right now? But Alice and I managed to get a table, and we've ordered wine! You just can't change plans last minute, Jackie!" Suzie said in a frustrated tone."And if you don't come right now, Jackie, with that rich boyfriend of yours, who will pay

"Jake, it's okay. I don't need an apology. Since it was my idea to invite all of you to the bar for drinks today, then I think it's only right that I should pay. Besides, I'm sure Jackie didn't mean it when she said those words about me. So, it's better to forget it and enjoy the rest of the evening," Caleb suddenly said.He was grateful to Jake for sticking up for him, but at the same time, he didn't want Tommy's feelings to be hurt. He knew how much he liked Jackie.Jackie, on the other hand, had her jaw slightly open after she heard Caleb's words. She was shocked, to say the least. She had never expected him to defend her, after she had been so rude to him. She looked at Caleb with narrowed eyes, but he totally ignored her as he checked the time on his mobile.Time was ticking.In reality, Caleb couldn't care less if Jackie apologized or not. She meant nothing to him. He only wanted to go to the bar to get the supposed fun evening over and done with so that he could quickly go ba
