The Student Billionaire

Chapter 8

“What the hell!” Mia screamed out, as she vigorously tried to clean the water that spilled on her ring.

The water Damson spilled on the ring came as a shock as she didn't see it coming.

“Are you blind? Can't you see? Do you want to ruin my ring?” she continued as her face flushed with anger.

“You probably hate the fact that Caleb bought me the ring you couldn't even get for me and you're trying so badly to ruin it.”

"You're just jealous and angry I left you for a better option. I'll pick Caleb over you anytime. You're just a servant boy and will always be a servant boy"

“Am I to be blamed for your miserable life? You're a good-for-nothing human being.” she screamed at him.

Mia's words pierced Damson's heart. His cheeks burnt with anger and he tried to fight back the tears that had built up in his eyes.

“What is wrong with you!?”Caleb yelled angrily as he grabbed Damson by the collar of his shirt.

“Did you just do that on purpose? Do you know how much I got the ring? Do you know how expensive it was? I spent a lot of money on that ring!”

"Why are you so worked up? Why are you scared and worried? It's just water and I'm pretty sure nothing would happen to the ring if it is real.”

“People who buy this type of ring know that water cannot ruin it.” Damson said, smirking.

“No, no, something is wrong with my ring.” Mia cried out.

The gold was peeling off as she cleaned it and the diamond already fell off. The ring was fake.

Oops! I guess the ring wasn't real after all. Are you sure you bought the right ring Caleb?” Damson asked, trying to hold his laughter.

Caleb was stunned and red with anger. He didn't know the ring he bought was fake. He had to get a huge amount of money from his dad to be able to get the ring.

He was fooled. They made him believe it was the original ring he got.

It was as if Damson knew the ring was fake. How he knew he didn't understand. He was furious.

“I'm sure the workers at Aurora's embrace made a mistake.” Mia spoke up.

“You need to sue them baby. They cheated you. You shouldn't take it lightly with them.”

Mia was heartbroken, she didn't expect that the ring would be fake. She didn't know Caleb couldn't actually afford the original ring. He was rich, but not rich enough to buy the original Aurora's embrace ring.

“Caleb couldn't tell it was fake, if he had known, he would have returned the ring immediately.” A voice spoke out.

“You had the audacity to laugh at Caleb, you've forgotten you're just nobody next to him.”

“He is such a dumbass. We all know that the ring is something Caleb can afford and there must have been a mix up somewhere.”

Everyone had a thing to say. They all sided with caleb.

They all knew Caleb was rich and could afford more than the ring.

Damson was pretty sure Caleb couldn't afford the original ring and was happy that he paid a huge amount of money for a fake.

Caleb wasn't happy that Damson had a smile on his face. He was angry and wanted to drag and stomp on him.

He suddenly remembered that he lied to the students that Damson promised them expensive dinner. He had a chance to bring Damson down.

“How about the dinner you promised us all.” Caleb asked, as he rubbed his hands together, glaring at him.

“I think you're trying to distract us with your little scheme but it's not working. We haven't forgotten.”

“Yes!”

“We want an expensive dinner!” Voices chanted, forgetting about the ring and focusing on the free dinner they would get.

“Fine!” Damson shouted. “I'll buy you all dinner for tonight. You can order anything you want. I'll pay for it”

“Pay for it? Really?” Betty, Mia's close friend asked as she placed her hands on her waist.

“Do you even know what you're saying?”

“You cannot even afford to feed yourself in a day but you claim you want to buy dinner for everyone.”

“Have you forgotten that the last time you saw Mia and I eating in the cafeteria, you couldn't pay for our food because you didn't have the money.”

“You lied that you didn't have your wallet on you when we could tell you just didn't have the money.”

“You're here feeding us lies that you will pay for our dinner. You should be ashamed of yourself.”

“I know his plan.” Mia said. “He plans to let us order the food and then he'll run away.”

“This isn't his first time. He's very cunning and he's also a liar. We will end up paying for our food ourselves.”

“I think you should just apologize and leave.” Luke said as he pulled Damson. “Don't buy anything you know you cannot afford. Don't risk it because of them.”

“Just wait and see.” Damson replied as he shrugged off his hands.

“How about you order something expensive for yourself first and pay for it, then we will believe you and let you order for ours.” Betty said, smirking.

She was confident that Damson couldn't afford to pay for his own dinner, talkless of the students in the cafeteria.

She hated Damson and has always wanted to see his downfall. She had always wanted to benefit from the boyfriend Mia had but she couldn't because Damson was poor.

She wanted someone who could pay for their shopping and vacations and Caleb was the perfect person

She was happy that Mia finally listened to her and left Damson for Caleb.

“I'll order mine.” Damson said as he called for the waitress.

“I'd like to order the most expensive food you have tonight. I'll also order the most expensive drinks. Make it two.”

“This boy is crazy”

“What is he doing!?”

“He is out of his mind!”

“Is he really ordering the most expensive food and drinks?”

“I thought he went on errands for most of us here. He doesn't even earn enough to feed and cloth himself.”

“Is he trying to further embarrass himself?”

“I'll be happy to see him fail. He deserves it!”

Damson ignored everyone, as he knew what he was doing. He was eager to see the expression on their faces when he makes the payment for his food.

“You better don't make a fool of yourself!” Mia exclaimed. “We both know you cannot afford what you just ordered.”

“I'll give you one more chance to apologize to everyone and go home. We won't harm you for being poor.” Caleb said.

Damson ignored them.

The waitress soon came with the food and drinks. She also came with the bill and a payment machine for his card.

“Your bill for the food and drinks is 20,000 dollars.” she said as she put out her hand forward for Dawson's card.

Damson brought out the card he used in the bank earlier and handed it over to the waitress.

She looked at the card, looked it over, turned it around and threw it at Damson.

“What type of card is this? Why is it blank?”

“No numbers, nothing on it. Is this an ancient card?”

“You want to pay with a card that doesn't exist?”

“Do you think you can fool me!?” The waitress shouted angrily

“You will pay for this deceit!”
