I can't believe she slapped Carl. He was just trying to help, and now everything's chaotic.""This is like a soap opera. I thought Carl was the good guy, but Jessica's reaction is making everything so confusing.""I'm genuinely surprised. Carl was defending her, and she slapped him? What's happening in this class?""Jessica's actions just added more drama to an already chaotic situation. Now everyone's even more bewildered."Carl's gaze remained fixed on her, a sense of betrayal settling in the pit of his stomach that he couldn't shake off.Caleb watched with amusement as Carl stood in disbelief, a smirk playing on Caleb's lips. The irony of the situation wasn't lost on him—Carl, who had been defending Jessica from the beginning, now found himself at the receiving end of a slap instead of receiving any praise.

The Richest Heir CHAPTER 83
The fact that he had used the money on seemingly frivolous endeavors, such as treating everyone to an expensive restaurant and rescuing two women who had never given him the time of day, left them questioning his decision-making. They pondered why, if Caleb had initially intended to invest the money, he hadn't followed through with that plan.Tommy, Jake, and Jane found themselves puzzled by Caleb's financial decisions. They wondered if Caleb's lifelong experience of financial struggle had influenced his newfound approach to wealth. Perhaps, they speculated, his lack of familiarity with substantial sums led him to spend it in a seemingly extravagant manner.Despite their confusion about Caleb's choices—especially using a significant portion of the money on people who hadn't treated him kindly—they acknowledged the reasonableness of his explanation. Jane couldn't help but express her frustration, "Caleb, why spend your winnings on unnecessary things like treating a large group at a r

Their attention converged on a single figure—Jessica."What's happening between you, Jessica, and Caleb? Is he thrash you with something?

It was a far cry from the feisty Jessica she had known for years.Jessica locked eyes with Tracy. The room was pregnant with suspense as Kenneth and Carl waited for her response, hanging on to every moment of the impending revelation. A heavy silence lingered.Jessica, with a heavy heart, shook her head and broke the silence."Caleb isn't holding anything over me, and he's not aware of any secrets I might have.

Caleb sat in the passenger seat of Frank's car during the afternoon, carefully examining the documents spread out before him. Sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a warm glow on the pages and creating an atmosphere of focused diligence. Frank, behind the wheel, observed Caleb's reactions, aware of the daylight illuminating the details of their secretive discussion.Calebs face contorted into a frown as he lifted his gaze to meet Frank's, his brow furrowing in confusion. The William from the previous night at Emily's seems conspicuously absent from all official documents."Have you thoroughly covered every individual named William at Castle College?" He sets down the documents, questioning with a stern demeanor."I assure you, my data on fourth-year students named William is comprehensive and accurate, complete with pictures," Frank responds confidently.Caleb murmured in frustration, "If that's the case, why isn't the William I'm searching for here in these documents?" He

"Are you the Emily from the live life broadcasting room?" questioned the unknown man in a gentle tone, Emily attempting to free her arm from Harry's grasp."Yes, that's me!" she retorted with a glare. "Now, let go of my arm."Under Mr. Chan's commanding gaze, Harry complied and released her. Emily glared fiercely between the two men, while Mr. Chan let out a heavy sigh.Emily massaged her wrist, her gaze fixed on the stranger."Look...." Mr Chan began to say."No! You look! I've made up my mind. I'll do whatever you want – I'll sign the contract with Mr. Chan's company or anything else. Just promise to stay away from me and my friends," she reluctantly uttered. Realizing her vulnerability against these individuals, she had no option but to comply with their demands.Mr. Chan, recalling Frank Cole's threat, manages a small, nervous smile at Emily."Emily, there seems to be a misunderstanding here," he stammers. "I'm Mr. Chan. We've been in touch through the broadcasting room."Emily st
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 88

"Why is she here?" Caleb mumbled to himself, captivated by her growing beauty. She wore a white dress, sneakers, and her golden hair flowed in the wind, leaving him breathless."Sophia..." he mumbled under his breath.Miss Roberts, noticing Caleb's entranced state, followed his gaze and frowned at the sight.She looked at Caleb, who remained rooted to the spot, captivated and unresponsive, as if he had been caught in a spell the moment his gaze fell upon the girl."Mr. King, do you know that girl ?" Miss Roberts interjected, her voice infused with a hint of irritation.Caleb, momentarily entranced by Sophia's beauty, turned his attention back to Miss Roberts. She couldn't deny that the girl had an undeniable charm, and a surge of jealousy coursed through her as she tried to regain Caleb's focus."Mr King....Caleb sighed, his patience wearing thin as he glanced back at the woman standing too close to him."Miss Roberts, go wait for me in the sales department office.

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.

CHAPTER 242
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.

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.
