The Richest Heir CHAPTER 88
Emily observed the woman with confusion as she approached Caleb. Her eyes traveled up and down, trying to make sense of the situation. The puzzling sight of a well-dressed woman, stepping out of a Mercedes Benz, walking excitedly towards Caleb and addressing him as "Mr. King," left Emily baffled.Emily wondered about the connection between Caleb and the approaching woman. As she observed the scene, she couldn't fathom how Caleb knew someone like her. Her gaze shifted to Caleb, who appeared more nervous than happy to see the woman, deepening her confusion.Emily scrutinized the woman from head to toe, taking note of her expensive attire and accessories. The woman's clothes seemed to cost more than Caleb's monthly rent, and Emily couldn't help but wonder how a guy like Caleb, who struggled financially, could be acquainted with someone so affluent.Caleb swiftly called out, "I'm coming!" with a nod and a small smile, walking toward the approaching woman,trying to keep her away from Emi
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 89
"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. I'll join you sho

Sophia cast a quick glance at her phone, releasing a hushed curse under her breath. If it weren't for Charlie, she might have expressed her unfiltered thoughts about her mother and stepfather."Is everything alright?" Caleb asked gently, noticing the frustration on her face.She sighed as she stared back."Everything okay?" Caleb asked, noting the frustration on her face.Sophia forced a smile. "Yeah, everything's fine."Caleb observed her closely, sensing something was amiss. "So, are you here to buy a new house?" he inquired, his smile lingering.Sophia sighed and nodded. "Yes, actually my mom and her husband are looking for a new house. His office recently moved, and they want a place closer to his workplace.""Got it," Caleb replied, but a thoughtful expression lingered on his face.After a few moments of silence, Sophia finally spoke up. "Caleb, what brings you here? Did you get a part-time job?" she inquired, scanning him from head to toe.Knowing Caleb's modest background and h
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 91
Observing Caleb from head to toe, one of the women leaned towards her colleague and whispered, "Miss Roberts mentioned she was bringing in a filthy rich client today to buy a villa... could that be him?"The other woman, engrossed in the spectacle Miss Roberts was creating, bit the top of her pen and shook her head. "I highly doubt it. He doesn't give off a wealthy vibe. I mean, just look at his clothes. Does he seem like a man who can afford even the keychain to those villas? He looks more like a college student.""Hmmmm....." the first woman replied, looking at him from head to toe."But why is Miss Roberts acting like he's some sort of Prince Charming... she's practically drooling over him.""I don't know," the second saleswoman replied."He must be somebody important; otherwise, Miss Roberts wouldn't give him the time of day based on his clothes. Her attitude suggests he's definitely someone of importance."The hushed whispers continued, and the two saleswomen near where Miss Robe
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 92
Miss Mathews was taken aback. She hadn't expected Miss Roberts to introduce a man who appeared financially poor, making her doubt his capacity to afford a villa. If not for Miss Roberts' unusual behavior, she wouldn't have considered him a potential buyer for a moment."Mr. King, I've found the staff member who assisted your friend. Feel free to inquire about anything you need." Miss Roberts said in a very respectable way.Caleb shifted his gaze toward the woman standing before them and rose from the sofa.With the best smile she could muster, Miss Mathews approached Caleb, looking him over with subtle curiosity."My colleague mentioned that you wanted to see me?" she inquired, her eyes lingering on him.Caleb responded with gratitude, "Yes, thank you for taking the time to come and see me. Actually, a little while ago, you assisted a friend of mine, Sophia. She was wearing a white dress, beautiful long blonde hair, blue eyes," he said in a dreamy tone. Miss Roberts bit her lip, tryin
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 93
As Miss Mathews meticulously prepared the contract, her thoughts drifted to the typical clients she dealt with. They would usually select a villa, pay an initial deposit, and then complete the full payment after a few days. However, in Caleb's case, she observed a stark difference. He displayed no interest in paying any deposit, and it appeared he intended to settle the entire amount in one go.This realization prompted Miss Mathews to issue assertive directives to her staff, ensuring the contract's accuracy and smooth processing. She aimed to eliminate any room for complaints from Caleb, recognizing the significance of this unique opportunity.Everything had to be done Professionally and perfectly.The shift in attitude toward Caleb was evident among the other salesgirls. They eagerly offered him tea and biscuits, attempting casual conversations in the hope of capturing his attention.Despite their attempts, each girl received a stern glare from Miss Roberts, a clear signal for them
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 94
Miss Mathews' behavior towards Caleb had taken a drastic turn. The respect she showered on him half an hour ago had transformed into suspicion. Her gaze shifted to Miss Roberts, who seemed to be watching Caleb with pity in her eyes. In that moment, Miss Mathews questioned if Caleb was perhaps an actor hired by Miss Roberts to play a prank on her.She couldn't shake the suspicion that it might all be an act. Maybe he didn't even know Miss Sophia. Everything seemed dubious, especially considering Miss Roberts was the one who had called her away from the office to meet this supposedly wealthy client, eager to buy a house on the spot, all because of some girl he may or may not have known.She was definitely being pranked by Miss Roberts.Had it not been for Miss Roberts' remarks, she wouldn't have entertained the idea that the man before her could afford a house worth 1.75 million dollars. Her narrowed eyes were aimed at Miss Roberts, ready to voice her skepticism."Why assume I wasn't
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 95
Miss Mathews couldn't conceal the smirk that appeared on her lips as she nodded."Alright then, I'll let you both go, for now," she agreed readily.She believed that if Miss Roberts had committed to resigning, Caleb's ability to purchase the villa the next morning must hold significance. If proven true, it presented an opportunity for Miss Mathews to earn a considerable commission solely from that villa.On the other hand, if this was merely an act and Caleb couldn't afford the villa, she could effortlessly remove her rival from the company without any effort on her part. The prospect left her feeling quite content.Regardless of whether Caleb showed up at the office the next morning or not, it wouldn't result in any losses for Miss Mathews personally. Both seemed to be a win-win situation, and she was inclined to allow them to proceed as they pleased."Let's go, Mr. King," Miss Roberts muttered under her breath.Caleb nodded slightly and began to move away from Miss Mathews."Caleb?

CHAPTER 243
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. I'll do everything in my power to support you,

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. 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. "I can't believe it!" another student exclaimed, shock evident

"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

Professor Hanks's hand slammed down on the table with a resounding thud, instantly quelling the rising chatter that had filled the room. "Silence!" Her authoritative command cut through the noise like a knife, demanding the attention of every student present. Once the room had settled into a tense silence, she fixed her unwavering gaze on Caleb, her expression a blend of concern and determination. "Caleb," she began, her voice firm yet tinged with curiosity, "do you have anything to say?" Her eyes bore into his, silently urging him to speak up and address the accusations that had been thrown his way. Caleb paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts before standing up. "What Carl said just now-his analysis of what could have happened-is very reasonable," he began, his voice calm and measured. "However, there is one small thing he seems to have forgotten to mention." Professor Hanks furrowed her eyebrows, clearly intrigued. "And what might that be?" she prompted, her gaze s

Mr. Henderson straightened his tie with an air of authority, smoothing back a few nonexistent strands of hair as he smiled at Professor Hanks. "Just before you arrived, we may have made some progress regarding the thief," Mr. Henderson announced, his voice projecting across the room. 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. Stepping closer to Mr. Henderson, she asked in a firm tone, "What progress have you made?" Mr. Henderson's smile widened slightly, relishing the attention from Professor Hanks. Leaning in slightly, he lowered his voice as if sharing a confidential matter. "Before you got here, Carl accused Caleb of being the thief." Professor Hanks's eyebrows shot up in surprise. She scanned the room until her gaze landed on Caleb, who met her look with a disbelief apprehension. Carl stood smugly with his arms folded across his ches

Mr. Henderson's expression shifted from annoyance to cautious interest. He fixed Carl with a penetrating stare. "You know who it is, Carl? Thrn enlighten us" he demanded, his voice low and serious, cutting through the chatter in the classroom. Carl took a deep breath, steeling himself before speaking again. "It's..." He hesitated for a moment, as if weighing his words carefully. The suspense in the room was palpable, each second feeling like an eternity as everyone waited for him to continue. As tension hung thick in the air of the classroom, Carl stood up abruptly, his face wearing a confident smirk. His words cut through the silence like a knife. "The thief is amongst us," Carl declared, his voice echoing off the walls, "and he is sitting in this room right now!" A collective gasp rippled through the classroom as students exchanged shocked glances. Whispers erupted like a sudden storm, as everyone began to scrutinize their classmates with newfound suspicion.

The professor's glare bore into Jane with unmasked frustration. "Do you have any brains ! Thats what happebscwhen you dont listen!" he bellowed, his voice echoing off the classroom walls. "I explicitly warned all students on the notice board to be vigilant with their belongings, knowing there's a thief among us. Yet you, young lady, have managed to have the entire class's fees stolen. And you dare call yourself a class monitor!"His words stung like a whip cracking through the air, each syllable laced with disappointment and accusation. The classroom seemed to shrink under the weight of his condemnation, leaving Jane visibly shaken under the harsh spotlight of Professor Henderson's scrutiny.Jane stood frozen under the professor's harsh gaze, her hands trembling slightly as she tried to find her voice amidst the palpable tension in the room."I... I'm sorry, Mr. Henderson," she stammered, her words coming out in a rush. "I... I didn't mean to... I thought... I thought it would be s
