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

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

He opened the package and began to count the money very slowly, pretending to be very serious. "You...you..." Amanda was temporarily at a loss of words. She glanced at Sophia who also had a tiny smile as she watched Caleb count the money. "No wonder everyone at College laughs at you. And no wonder your ex girlfriend Tracy broke up with you. You Don't have an onze of dignity in you. Your a freak who's ready to live on a woman's money... How can there be a man like you in this world....you..." Amanda ranted "A man like me ?" A strange look crossed his face as he looked at her "That's right! A man like you. A beggar, a loser!" She said with a snarl."Hehe..." she laughed at her own words.Even Sophia felt a little sorry for Caleb.Amanda was a very self-centered person."I'm not a loser, and I'm definitely not a beggar!" Caleb replied in a cold tone."But we'll see who behaves like a beggar!" Caleb said glaring at Amanda.Then, without hesitation, he picked up the money he had placed

Before Caleb could open the camera app on his phone to capture the stranger's image, Emily turned around to reach for her glass of wine on the table beside the couch. Her eyes caught Caleb looking down at his mobile through the gap of the semi-opened door."Caleb, you're back," she exclaimed, her surprise evident in her voice.Despite their heated argument the night before, she extended a remarkably warm greeting towards him."Yes, I ah just got back..." Caleb replied, his eyes flickering over to the stranger who stood up when he noticed Caleb.The stranger looked slightly stunned, at the intrusion, but managed to give a small smile. "This must be the friend you were talking about?""Yes, this is Caleb. He is a good friend as well as my neighbor," Emily replied with a soft tone. She strolled over to Caleb and whispered close to his ears, "This is King, you know, the guy I was telling you about. We just had dinner together, and he walked me back to my apartment. And he'svery sweet"
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 71
The realization hit hard; there seemed to be no way for him to reclaim control of his account, adding a layer of defeat to his already turbulent emotions.After a few futile attempts, he abandoned the idea of reclaiming the account on his own. Settling into a chair, a sudden wave of exhaustion washed over him, both mentally and physically drained.Caleb had no choice but to wait for the imposter King to leave. He planned to gather information from Emily about the stranger. Armed with whatever details he could obtain, he intended to hand them over to Mr. Nat for a thorough investigation.The steady ticking of the clock echoed through the room, time inching forward at a sluggish pace. Caleb perched on the bed, eyes fixed on the clock's hands, gradually succumbing to drowsiness.Abruptly, a loud bang shattered the stillness outside his door, followed by a piercing scream."Ah!"The voice belonged to Emily.Upon hearing Emily's distressing scream, Caleb shot up from his seat, whispering h

"Looks like it's our lucky day, boys," he chuckled, then directed a serious gaze at William."Mr. Chan, also known as the inappropriate fan, asked us to investigate King and find out his true identity. We couldn't find a trace of him, but I didn't expect you to be here. Well, here you are! You just made our job so much easier..." he smirked.William's eyes widened at Harry's words, leaving him dumbfounded. The men's reaction was the opposite of what he had anticipated. He thought invoking the name King would instill fear and make them leave. However, being King seemed to have the opposite effect, as King appeared to be their boss's enemy.....William stood frozen, consumed by regret. Revealing himself as King was intended to have some significance and scare them away, but everything unfolded contrary to his expectations. The name had the opposite effect, further provoking the leader and his men.Caleb stood quietly by the door, a small smile playing on his lips. He was secretly please

"What kind of man are you? Doesn't his pain affect you? How can you witness someone in such agony and not offer help? You are not the man I thought you were. You disgust me!" she shouted at Caleb, her voice laced with disappointment and anger.Caleb held Emily's gaze, feeling the weight of disappointment in her eyes. He chose silence, acknowledging that whatever he said seemed to fall on deaf ears. In her perception, William's words held more weight than his.Emily forcefully wiped away tears from her cheek, and directed a sharp glare at Caleb."You really disappointed me Caleb!" She seethed"I can't believe that I was e er friends with you!"In the background, William's shrieks of pain persisted as the assault continued.Emily couldn't bare to look at William being beaten and so she glared at Caleb "I know why you are behaving so cold. I know why you are doing this! Why you are not helping William" she declared, locking eyes with him.Caleb looked at her, puzzled, awaiting further e

Watch your mouth, King! I wouldn't hesitate to land a few blows myself!" Harry snapped, his tone harsh and menacing."Just leave us alone, can't you see he needs to get to a hospital!" Emily pleaded, tears streaming down her face, her voice cracking with every other word.Harry, unfazed by her tears, sneered."So rude, you didn't even say please," he fake-sulked.Emily narrowed her eyes at him, fed up with his antics.At this point, Emily could only think of getting William to the hospital. He needed medical attention immediately. Therefore, she didn't want to waste any more time talking nonsense with Harry.Harry casually glanced down at his mobile and sighed."Alright, you can leave, since I said what I wanted to say. And you, Miss..." His eyes turning to focus on Emily."Three days... contract... don't forget."Emily just stared back without bothering to respond."Well, boys, our mission is finished here..."Harry's glare turned to look at William, who could barely see anything thr
