The Richest Heir CHAPTER 61
"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

You know how she is. She doesn't really like these types of places, so who knows if she even bothers to turn up," Alice explained.Suzie nodded in agreement. "Yeah, don't even know why you're friends with her. She barely talks to any of us anyway."Caleb listened with a small smile. If they were talking about his fiancée Sophia, then he couldn't help but think that they had at least one thing in common – both of them didn't like bars.He smiled at the thought.The chatter around the table continued, although Jake and Caleb remained quiet.Jackie took a sip from her wine glass and scanned the bar until her eyes fell on a woman walking in through the doors."Oh, look, Cassie's here!"Cassie gracefully navigated through a few drunk guys who offered some crude comments, but she simply ignored them.Dressed in a dark navy blue jumpsuit with a silver belt, large hoop earrings, and stylish heeled boots, she exuded confidence. Her makeup was impeccable, and her hair was tied in a high ponytai

Amanda stormed out of the room, leaving Sophia alone with a mix of frustration and uncertainty. Slowly, she picked up her mobile and searched for his name in the contacts before dialing his number.HALF AN HOUR EARLIER Kenneth grabbed Tracy's hand and guided her towards a couch at the far end, with Jessica and the rest of the group trailing behind. The waiter, notebook in hand, delivered a straightforward message, "Sir, unless you order wine totaling at least 500 dollars, I will have to ask you to vacate this area."Kenneth nodded his head. He already knew the rule of ',The Bar', and he promptly contributed to the wine order.In the lively atmosphere of the upscale venue, Kenneth savored his drink, immersed in the vibrant night. Suddenly, a nudge from Max, a friend of his directed to a table on the other side."Isn't that Cassie and Jackie? And wait, who's that guy with Cassie? He looks kind of familiar," Max remarked.Squinting, Kenneth tried to identify the figure, Tracy gasped,
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 64
Caleb stared at his best friend, taken aback by the abrupt request. How could he tell Tommy about his engagement without making him and Jake feel betrayed?"Well...um... since we've just met, I don't mind being friends with Caleb," Carrie said with a small smile.Tommy grinned widely. His plan was working.Tommy then looked at Caleb, nudging him slightly."Well, don't just sit there, do something! You've got a great girl interested in being your friend, and who knows where this friendship may lead...don't ket this opportunity slip away buddy" he said in a low voice, raising his eyebrows up and down, hinting at him."Tommy....I..." Caleb began, but Tommy didn't let him finish his sentence."Caleb, hurry up and add her to the WeFriends app. Then you can chat with her more often, get to know each other better, and maybe in the future, there could be more than friendship," he whispered with excitement.Caleb just stared at him, and then at Carrie. She had over heard Tommy saying to add h

As the revelation unfolded, Cassie's disbelief turned into a mixture of confusion and disappointment. She couldn't understand how Caleb, who had offered to buy the drinks in the bar, could in reality, be living a life of a poor delivery boy.Meanwhile, Suzie, who had been listening to the whole conversation, sighed in relief that she hadn't approached Caleb earlier. The revelation about Caleb's poor financial status left her feeling grateful that she hadn't approached him earlier when she heard he was buying the drinks. Reflecting on the situation, she realized that she could have have been the one in the embarrassing situation, Cassie was in now.Amidst the shock and reactions, Caleb observed Cassie's response closely, realizing that the truth about his identity had left her far from happy.Cassie blinked in disbelief, her mind struggling to process Tracy's revelation. She couldn't fathom that the man she had been flirting, chatting, and laughing with for the last half-hour was a me
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 66
"I don't understand why you pretend to be rich. Is it to lure girls out of your league into bed with you? Is it because the girls of your league are just not good enough, eh? If you are a delivery boy, at least be proud of the fact instead of pretending to be someone you're not. Since you don't have money, why pretend to be rich? To make a fool of us rich girls. You disgust me..." Cassie's scornful words echoed in the bar, leaving a palpable tension in the air.Cassie's cutting words stung Caleb, a bitter reminder that sometimes appearances mattered more than genuine connections. Silently absorbing the hurt, he chose not to engage further. With a nonchalant gaze, he studied her, realizing that perhaps this encounter had spared him from repeating the mistakes of the past, particularly the misguided feelings he had harbored for Tracy. Caleb observed as Cassie regarded him with open disdain. He realized that his initial plan to disclose his background through the WeFriends app was now
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 67
Just as he said the word "fiancée," Tommy, who had taken a large gulp of his wine, spat it out, hitting Jake's clothes across the table."Watch it, Tommy..." Jake started, but he stopped speaking as soon as Caleb's words registered."Wait a minute....did he just say fiancée...?" Jake asked with wide eyes, looking at Caleb in disbelief.Caleb nodded, and for a moment, the weight of his situation lifted as he saw the shock and confusion on his friends' faces.Tommy was the first to come out of his shock."Fiancée! You're pulling our legs, right? So that we don't try and set you up with another girl," he chuckled, thinking Caleb was joking with them."Yeah, you almost had us there..." Jake added, also chuckling. The disbelief in their eyes was gradually replaced by amusement.Caleb didn't laugh. He just looked between his friends and sighed."Guys, I'm not kidding. I have a fiancée..."The smiles on Jake and Tommy's faces slowly disappeared as they looked at Caleb's serious expression.T
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 68
Caleb, Tommy, and Jake paid the bill and left the bar. Caleb, wanting desperately to go home and check up on Emily, got up to leave, and as he did, his mobile phone rang. Furrowing his eyebrows, he looked at the caller ID, and his eyes widened in shock."Sophia," he whispered.After their initial encounter at the Royal Palm Restaurant, he hadn't received any communication from her. Mr. Nat had provided him with Sophia's number to facilitate further interaction between them. Presumably, he must have shared his number with her as well.However, Sophia never took the initiative to reach out.Caleb stared at the caller ID displaying "Sophia" on his mobile for a few moments. His eyes shifted to the corner of the phone screen to check the time; it was quite late. A sense of concern crept over him as to why she was calling at this hour.Tommy noticed Caleb staring at his ringing phone, and as he leaned over, he caught sight of the name "Sophia" on the screen. A mischievous smile spread acro
