Ah, I see," he said, his voice smooth but tinged with a hint of condescension. "New money. No one special."He paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing."I'm sure you understand, Mr. Jackson, that the Stevens family name carries a certain weight. I trust you wouldn't risk tarnishing that reputation over a single villa transaction."Mr. Jackson's expression faltered for a moment, his eyes flickering between Mr. Stevens and Caleb.

"If there's an issue, we can defer to the chairman of this company. Let's see if he's willing to dismiss the girlfriend of Mathew Stevens."Mr. Jackson faltered, his thoughts scrambling for the right words."I eh...I..."Mi

"How dare you have your security block my path?" he demanded, his voice cutting through the tension in the room. "Do you even remember who I am? Do you know who my family is?" He took a step closer, his anger palpable."Are you sure you want to go against me, Mr. Jackson?" He shouted with an extremely angry expression.Mr. Jackson met Mr. Stevens's heated gaze with a calm, unwavering demeanor. "Sir, your girlfriend made a statement herself, in front of the entire salesroom, that she would resign if Mr. King purchased the villa. We all are witnesses to her words," he said, his tone even and composed.He continued, "Although she now claims she said no such thing, her commitment was clear. She gave her word, and we must hold her to it. Only once she resigns, as she promised, will I allow you all to leave." His voice remained calm, trying not to provoke Mr. Stevens furth

"Some people, along with security guards, have blocked my path. They won't let me leave."There was a pause before Jacob res

"You...you've gone mad!" She hissed close to his ear.Cassie glanced at him, her face scrunching up in confusion. She hadn't realized just how stubborn Caleb could be, and she couldn't comprehend why he remained so composed while everyone else quivered at the thought of her brother-in-law's uncle's impending arrival. Despite the looming threat, Caleb stood unperturbed, as if utterly indifferent to the danger posed by Mr. Stevens' uncle."Caleb..."

"So, Cassie asked you to apologize to me, huh? I was actually considering forgiving you," he remarked, a hint of mockery in his tone. "I thought maybe all that newfound money had gone to your head. But since you still don't want to apologize, we'll just have to wait until my uncle arrives
The Richest Heir CHAPTER 107
As his nephew hesitated to comply with his command, his uncle closed in on him with a deliberate slowness, each step heavy with intent.

The unspoken threat hung heavy in the air, leaving no room for defiance.As Jacob contemplated the situation, he couldn't help but acknowledge that if it were anyone else, he would have stood by his nephew's side and taught the other person a lesson.

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.

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.

Caleb had started spending money freely, treating classmates to dinners in expensive restaurants, flaunting an attitude of newfound confidence. The sudden shift was startling.

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

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
