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

"Caleb, get out of my way! What the hell is wrong with you? After tonight, you have no say in what I do or don't. I'm going to the hospital with William, the man you saw being brutally beaten but were too much of a coward to help. Yet now you stand here, demanding me not to take an injured man to the hospital. Why? Because of some stupid jealousy. Well, news flash, Caleb, you are not my friend anymore!" She stared at him, her eyes reflecting sadness. His hard expression softened slightly after hearing her words.He could see it on her face—the disappointment, the disgust. He could almost hear the unspoken question lingering on the tip of her tongue as she shifted her gaze from him to the door behind them."When did you become this messed up. So cold hearted?" She asked, shaking her head.She pushed past Caleb, dragging a limping William at her side, without giving a backward glance.Caleb observed Emily and the imposter walk away, sighing heavily and shaking his head in helpless frus
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 76
She wasn't even sure if she wanted to be friends with Caleb anymore. Tonight he had acted like a total asshole And she felt as if their so called friendship had been a lie. The word friend sounds false even to her own ears, but tonigh, Caleb had showed his true colors. He was no more a friend. He was just her neighbour . Nothing more. "Why the silence? Did I leave you speechless?" William inquired as they halted at a red light. Emily, lost in her thoughts, responded with a puzzled, "Huh...?""If you don't want to be my girlfriend, just say no," William uttered in a dejected tone, sensing her hesitation.Emily managed a small smile as she looked at William.She found herself at a loss for words. The idea of becoming his girlfriend after just meeting him today seemed rushed and a bit imprudent. Although she enjoyed his company, acknowledging his humorous and generous side, she felt the need to truly understand him—his preferences, his dislikes—before making a decision of such signi

The taxi driver furrowed his brow, concern etched across his face as he stole glances at William's bloodied and swollen face through the rear-view mirror."Son, are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital? You look like you've been through a rough time," the driver remarked with genuine worry.William sighed, growing frustrated with the persistent concern for his well-being. He met the driver's eyes in the mirror, determined to downplay the severity of his injuries."I appreciate the concern, but trust me, these injuries aren't as bad as they look. No need for the hospital. Just take me to Maximus rental store," he insisted, redirecting the focus away from his battered appearance.William wiped away a trickle of blood running down the side of his face, emanating from an unseen wound on his head. The taxi driver let out a disapproving sigh, shaking his head in response to William's insistence that the injuries were minor."Young people these days," the driver muttered under his b

It dawned on Caleb that he had betrayed his own values by revealing such personal information. Despite their strained relationship, he couldn't shake the feeling that disclosing Jessica's private moment in such a public manner was a breach of trust.A heavy silence hung in the air as the entire class stood frozen in disbelief. The students exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes shifting between Jessica and Caleb, grappling with the shock of the unexpected revelation.Did Jessica take the initiative to seduce Caleb? Did she try to entice Caleb into a bed in a motel room, by undressing in front of him? However, this whole scenario, seemed impossible in their eyes.In their eyes, women like her had no need to take such initiatives.

The surprising reveal left the class confused, wondering about the unexpected change in their classmates' relationshi
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 79
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing. Did Jessica really strip naked and try to sleep with you?" Tommy asked impatiently, eager to hear the answer.A small chuckle escaped Jake as he looked at Caleb with a mix of surprise and amusement."You're full of surprises these days, Caleb. I mean, Jessica, the girl who's been relentlessly mean to you, suddenly undressing in a hotel room, trying to get you to sleep with her? It sounds crazy. I don't know what to believe, but if you said it happened, I'm sure it did," Jake remarked, giving Caleb a friendly tap on the back.Caleb quietly absorbed his friends' hushed conversation beside him, responding with a faint smile but refraining from offering any explanations. In truth, Caleb had disclosed details about the hotel incident to put Jessica in her place and express his discontent. Having accomplished his goal, he chose not to delve into the topic any further.Tommy and Jake eagerly anticipated Caleb's response, yet he mainta

In the midst of heavy breathing and seething anger, Carl shot a glare at Caleb, who remained composed. "You better watch yourself, Caleb," Carl muttered through gritted teeth.Tommy, trying to maintain a calm atmosphere, addressed the situation."Carl, i think Caleb's right. This is between him and Jessica. It's not our place to get involved. Let it go, Carl."Jake added his voice to the mix, firm yet composed. "Exactly, you need to ease up, Carl. Let Caleb and Jessica handle their own business. And seriously, move away from the entrance. You've blocked it for too long now."Carl, though visibly furious, begrudgingly stepped back, shooting one last venomous look at Caleb. The air in the room still crackled with tension as the students watched the confrontation unfold, uncertain of what might happen next.As Tommy and Jake intervened, standing by Caleb's side, a surge of gratitude and warmth washed over him.

Caleb's words, suggesting she tell about that night, hit Jessica hard, making her wish she hadn't provoked him earlier. She regretted mocking him harshly, because now, she stood in the limelight, surrounded by whispers and stifled laughter in the classroom, she found herself stuck in the mess she unwittingly created. The familiar surroundings suddenly felt strange, and Jessica couldn't shake the feeling that her own words had landed her in this tough spot. Had Caleb chosen to stay silent, Carl and the others wouldn't have become so agitated and confronted him.But now, Caleb was looking at her asking her to tell everyone that she had met up with him that night, taken off her clothes and wanted to sleep with him in front of all the whole classroom.A lump formed in Jessica's throat. She realized that if she admitted the truth now, would turn her into the laughing stock of the entire college, leaving her with little hope for ever lookinganyonein the eye.As Jessica felt the weight o

As Caleb began to walk out of the classroom, Professor Hanks reached out and grabbed his hand, stopping him in his tracks. Her eyes were filled with a mix of concern and disbelief."Caleb," she said softly but firmly, "I need you to tell me the truth. Did you steal that money?"Caleb looked down at her hand gripping his and then met her gaze. He could see the earnest plea in her eyes, the hope that he wasn't guilty. He took a deep breath, his expression calm and resolute."No, Professor Hanks," he replied quietly. "I didn't steal the money."Professor Hanks studied his face for a long moment, searching for any hint of deceit. Finally, she released his hand with a sigh, a flicker of hope still lingering in her eyes."Alright, Caleb," she said firmly, her grip still strong on his hand. "But don't stay silent like you did here. You need to defend yourself clearly when you see the headmaster. Speak the truth and avoid any unnecessary remarks.

Jane’s eyes were fixed on Caleb, desperately waiting for him to say something, to shout, to scream his innocence. But he remained calm and collected, his gaze never wavering from Carl. Carl, noticing Caleb's unwavering calm, smirked and turned to Mr. Henderson. "Here's the proof, sir. Now it's up to you how you deal with this thief." Mr. Henderson glanced at Professor Hanks, who was staring at Caleb in shock, unable to reconcile the calm student with the accusations against him. Mr. Henderson nodded and said, "I can't believe after all this time we've actually caught the thief red-handed. Caleb, come with me to the staffroom. We will discuss further what we should do with you with the rest of the staff." Hearing Mr. Henderson's words, some students nodded in agreement, murmuring among themselves that Caleb should be punished. The accusation seemed to fit with the recent rumors and suspicions. However, those who were close to Caleb, especially Jake, Tommy, and Jane, were filled

CHAPTER 241
The students stared at Caleb with disgust, their eyes shifting between him and the pouch on his desk. Whispers and pointed fingers only deepened the collective disdain. Many had always harbored suspicions about Caleb, simply because he was poor. Yet, in the last few months, something had changed. Caleb had started spending money freely, treating classmates to dinners in expensive restaurants, flaunting an attitude of newfound confidence. The sudden shift was startling. Now, with Jane's pouch found among his belongings, the students were convinced their suspicions were confirmed. To them, Caleb's recent spending spree must have been funded by stolen money from the college. The atmosphere was thick with judgment, the air filled with murmurs and pointed looks. No one seemed to remember the Caleb who once struggled quietly. Instead, they saw only the image of a thief, their minds made up by the damning evidence before them.

"Well, Carl, after an hour, you'll regret what you're doing right now, and you will pay for what you have done." Carl narrowed his eyes at Caleb momentarily and chuckled, muttering under his breath, "Is that a threat?" Caleb didn’t bother to respond, his silence conveying more than words could. Carl shrugged off Caleb's words, confident that they were meaningless. What could a loser like Caleb do anyway? Carl's smirk grew as he unzipped the bag. He knew that as soon as the money was found, there would be no escape for Caleb. The whole class fell silent, the only sound being the slow, deliberate zip opening Caleb's bag. Kenneth leaned forward on his desk, casting a quick glance at Tracy, who had a small smirk playing on her lips. They knew that any moment now, their plan would come to fruition. On the other hand, Tommy and Jake watched nervously, their anxiety palpable. But the most anxious of all was Jane, the class monitor. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was

"I..." Caleb began, weighing his words carefully. Caleb paused for a moment, his mind racing as he processed the situation. He instinctively slid his hands into his pockets, a subtle gesture to calm his nerves. His gaze shifted towards Carl once more, observing the smug confidence etched on his face. It was becoming clear to Caleb that Carl wasn't acting on mere suspicion but had orchestrated this accusation deliberately. The reason for Carl's unwavering confidence in Caleb's guilt pointed to a calculated plan. As Caleb pondered Carl's motives, his eyes flickered briefly to his desk where his bag lay discarded underneath. He couldn't shake the sinking feeling that the money, the very evidence Carl was banking on finding, might have already been planted there. A surge of frustration and anger welled up within him, but he maintained his composure outwardly, preparing to address Professor Hanks and the rest of the class with clarity and conviction. He had been set up. As his

"What Carl said just now-his analysis of what could have happened-is very reasonable," he began, his voice calm and measured.

He briefly glanced over at Caleb, who met his gaze with a mixture of curiosity and concern. Professor Hanks furrowed her eyebrows, her expression shifting to one of focused curiosity.
