The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 97. Never forgiven nor forgotten
Zachary fixed his gaze on the lady sitting alone. He wasn't paying attention to the discussion topic among his friends. Noticing that Zachary's attention was drawn to something else, Mirabel stopped talking and nudged Zachary's shoulder jolting out of the distraction. Turning to face the lady smiling in front of him, he faked a smile."Zach, you're distracted. What seems to be the problem? You're not with us.""I… ugh, nothing."Zachary took a quick glance at the place where Emily was sitting alone. Pointing to the direction, he said to Mirabel. "Is that not Emily over there?"They all directed their gazes on the place where Emily sat alone and confirmed that it was her."Yeah, that's Emily.""Why are you not with your friend over there, instead, you chose to stay with us boys?"Mirabel took a quick glance at her friend and replied. "I don't have to go over there and stay with her. If she really wanted to hang out, then she should come here and stay with us.""What if she has seen us
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 98. Fake girlfriend
Turning to face Mirabel, Zachary asked. "Are you not bothered about your friendship with Emily? You're friends with her, now you're close to me in friendship. Won't Emily see you as a betrayer?"Taken aback by the question, Mirabel dropped the glass on her hand and pursed her lips."Ugh… Well, I'm her friend but that doesn't mean that she'll have to tell me who I should befriend or who I shouldn't. She's not the lord of me. My parents won't even dictate to me what I shouldn't do or what I should, how much more Mirabel. In fact, when I told my mom what she and her father did to you, she condemned the act and asked me to stay away from her…"However, I can't just do away with her when we've been friends for so many years."Smith and Johnson glanced at themselves. Zachary was without a word.He looked at the side and saw Stone hanging around. Zachary stood up and said to his friends. "I'll be on my way now. Ugh, I have an engagement tomorrow so I'll have to start going now so as to prep
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 99. The fallout
"How could you betray me in this manner?" Emily stood before her friend. She was wearing a disappointed look.Turning around, Mirabel saw that Zachary and his group had already left. She quietly went outside and Emily followed behind."What do you mean by that? How did I betray you?" Mirabel asked and Emily scoffed."Just stop acting dumb. I can't believe I've been so stupid taking advice from you." Emily was infuriated by her friend's attitude at the party.Mirabel didn't mind that Emily was also coming to her mother's birthday party. She had to even invite Zachary when she knew the relationship between the two. They were no longer friends.Infact, Emily was at the mercy of Zachary.All the times that Emily sought Mirabel's advice about her current predicament, she had been acting like she wasn't so close to Zachary. She even advised Emily to quit her job if she can't stand having Zachary as her new boss.She also encouraged her to search for another job because Zachary might end up
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 100. Battered
Emily dragged her back and she nearly fell on the ground. Before she could gain composure, Emily stretched out her right hand and gave Mirabel a dirty slap that she nearly fell to the ground. Swiftly, Mirabel rose to her feet and retaliated and Emily found herself staggering. She closed up on Emily and gave her more slaps and even battering.Mirabel didn't give her any chance to regain herself and retaliate. She kept pouncing on the latter until she fell on the ground.Emily kept calling out for help on the ground. However, Mirabel continued to pounce on her that she had to sit on her body.Mirabel was unusually brutal.She was still beating up the latter and raining abuses on her at the same time when someone pulled her up. It was one of the bouncers.They had watched the scene in awe.It was as though they intentionally left Mirabel to pound Emily enough before coming to pull her out. The men saw how it started. They saw that it was Emily who struck the first blow.As soon as Mirab

Two policemen approached them, stopping right at the spot where they were standing."You're here officers. I'm Emily and it was I who called earlier." Emily said in a little cheerful mood. She was happy that the police had hastily answered her call. Now Mirabel would spend the night there and that would teach her some lessons. Pointing at Mirabel who was still standing there with folded hands, she said."That's Mirabel. Arrest her, she did this to me and tore my dress." Emily pointed to the bruises on her face and the torn part of her dress.Perplexed, Johnson and Smith just stood there and watched the incident that was unfolding. They didn't understand what was happening. When did the girls fight that Mirabel inflicted some injuries on Emily? Emily's dress was even torn.They had really missed out on the drama. They really wished that they were present and saw when Mirabel dealt with Emily. 'That served her right.' Johnson thought. He glanced at Smith who smiled back at him. The lo
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 102. Compensation
"What? What damages? If I pay for her treatment, who's going to pay for mine? You watched the video yourself and saw that she slapped me first. Don't you think I also need medical attention?" Mirabel flared up to the officers' bewilderment. She had been quiet all that time and they thought she was not a talker.Even though Emily slapped her, there was no physical injury. She just flared up because Emily was looking for a way to extort money from her.Emily burst into laughter but stopped when the bruises on her face hurt her. She only resorted to giggling as she made a mocking face at Mirabel."Calm down, Miss Mirabel." The officer who was with her tried to pacify her. Quietly, she sat back on her seat. "You see, from the video, you beat her up mercilessly and gave her a few bruises. You also tore her clothes and she's asking that you pay for her torn dress and for her treatment."Lifting her face, Mirabel glared at Emily and directed her gaze back to the policeman. "How am I supposed
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 103. Use your friend
Turning to her daughter, Mrs Elena said. "Let's go home. The party is already over." With that, the woman started towards the door.Mirabel tilted her head in shame as she followed her mother behind. They got to where Smith and Johnson were standing and Mrs Elena nodded at them. An appreciative smile plastered on her face. They both nodded at the woman before she continued walking.Mirabel stopped before the two friends who she now considered as her friends. With a forced smile on her face, she tapped on their shoulders and said to them. "Thank you for your help. I hope it's safe to say that you're my friends?"Johnson nodded and Smith smiled back at her."Of course Mirabel. We already consider you our friend." Johnson said and Smith agreed with a nod."Thank you."Mirabel started walking away before bidding them good night.Johnson and his friend were about to start leaving when they saw Emily standing before them. She had a smirk on her already disoriented face. Mirabel gave her a g
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 104. Why the rift ?
"What do you mean by that? 'I can use my friend to get what I want' I don't even understand what you're trying to say." Emily gave her father a questioning look. She thought that he was beating about the bush."And Dad. Mirabel is no longer my friend."John glanced at his daughter and hissed."Mirabel has grown closer to Zachary. You should not have fought with her because of that. Instead, you could just make her talk to Zachary by using your friendship as an edge. You can tell her to help convince Zachary to forget about what we did to him in the past. That way, it's a win-win for us as we don't get kicked out of the company."Emily's mouth fell apart.She hadn't thought about that. It was a good idea. Instead of picking up a fight with Mirabel, she should have just used her to salvage their situation. Unfortunately, they had become sworn enemies."We're no longer friends. She won't ever talk to me again. How do I make her help us when we've severed all our ties?" With furrowed brow

“Sir, the meeting will start in thirty minutes.” Maraya informed him before leaving for her office.It didn't take long and the meeting started. After the meeting was over, Zachary asked two men to wait behind. They were the general manager and the assistant general manager.Since John was the general manager, he had to wait behind. However, his heart was pounding heavily as he kept wondering what Zachary was up to.“Sir, you asked us to wait. I hope there's no problem?" The person who spoke was the assistant General Manager, Mr. Vincent.“Uh, Yeah. Please have a seat." Zachary replied to the men while his gaze was fixated at the file before him.Zachary soon lifted his face to stare at the other man. “ Mr. Vincent." He called out.“Sir." The man replied, looking tense. He was also wondering in his heart why the young boss asked him to wait behind.After a deep sigh, Zachary nodded his head and smiled at the man. “Mr. Vincent. I must say that I'm impressed with how you handle your job

Chapter 117. Work or quit
Thinking that the lady will get angry, Zachary was stunned to hear her dismiss the matter.“It's ok, I hope it went well?”"Yeah, it did go well before someone came to piss me off.” Zachary replied truthfully. Although he had no intention of telling Chloe about going with Mirabel."What happened?” Chloe asked with concern. "And who's the person who offended you?”"It's a young lady flirting with me. What got me angry was the way she treated the waiter. She was so rude and arrogant. I had to tell her off and left the venue.”"Oh.” Chloe was at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, Zachary decided to change the topic.The duo chatted for a while until they were taken away by the sandman.At the office the next morning, Emily made her way to Zachary's office. On her hands was the file she was asked to work on that weekend. She was already through with the work and kept praying that Zachary would not ask her to work on something else.She already has her own work and Zachary was g

Chapter 116. What do you think?
Stone, who was not expecting such a question, lifted his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror. “Ma'am, what did you say?" He pretended not to hear her the first time.Mirabel chuckled and asked the question again. “Do you think that anything can happen between me and your boss?”Stone swallowed hard. He was completely at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, he replied to Mirabel. “I…uh,.. I don't have an answer to that question.”Although Stone really wanted Zachary to end up with Mirabel, his boss was the one to make the choice himself.Mirabel smiled while still watching Stone from the mirror.“Ok, tell me what you think about me? Do you think I'd be good for Zach?" Stone pursed his lips and nodded. “Yes Ma'am, you're a great person and I think you and my boss will look good together. However, he's the one who would make the choice." “Does Zach have a girlfriend? Tell me the truth." Mirabel continued to probe further. Although she had confessed her feelings for Zachary

When Emily left the mall, she went back home to finish up with the weekend job Zachary gave to her. He was really punishing her and she doesn't know how long she'd take it.She had angrily left the mall and went back to dig herself into the work. It was a way of getting her mind off everything.Mirabel went out with Zachary as his date.After a while, her father was back and went to knock on her door. “Honey, I'm back." Swiftly, Emily rose to her feet and raced to the door. “I'm coming, Dad?" Before she could open the door, John was already on his way downstairs. “Come on, let's have our dinner." Without another word, Emily raced downstairs and to the dining table. “Hi, Dad. You're back." John only glanced at his daughter and nodded. " Yeah, what have you been up to? Tell me, did you speak with Mirabel?”Emily instantly darkened her expression when she heard Mirabel’s name.“That betrayer." She muttered to herself.“What did you say?" John inquired. It was him who encouraged E

"What do you mean by that?" With furrowed brows, Zachary gave her a questioning look. "Why would your name be on the news tomorrow?""Nevermind Zach, it's just an expression. You should understand what I was trying to imply. Did you not see the way that girl spoke to the maid like she was not a human being? That was not fair and I could no longer stand the sight. If I were to stand up for the maid and confront her, she might insult me and I would be able to take it."Zachary was silent for a while before saying to her."Emily was your friend for so many years before you guys fell apart the previous night, did she not demean people before your presence?"Emily was rendered speechless."Ugh, actually Zach…""You don't have to answer that." Zachary didn't let her finish before cutting in."Well, I'm sure that you're no longer in the mood for the dinner party. I'll go look for my grandparents and inform them before we leave."Mirabel nodded in approval. Indeed, she was no longer in the

Chapter 113. Another version of Emily
Zachary lifted his face to see a gorgeous young lady staring down at him. She was smiling at him as she stretched forth her right hand to shake him. Zachary didn't need to confirm her question because everyone was already talking about him. "My name is Alice and you're at our home. Mr Ferdinand is my grandpa."The Ferdinands had called for a dinner party and invited only the elites in the city. It was a way of building a network and for business expansion. Zachary was only there because his grandfather invited him. He didn't know a lot of VIPs. All the people he had had business contact with were confused to see that Kelvin made him the new CEO. To them, it seemed that Zachary just came out of nowhere and was made the CEO of such a reputable company.However, they could not question Kelvin's decision. It was only the staff who knew the relationship Zachary had with Kelvin. Although they wouldn't dare run their mouth for fear of being sacked.Rising to his feet, Zachary shook the you

Chapter 112. Long lost grandson
Zachary and Mirabel were approached by Kelvin as soon as they alighted from the car. Zachary's car was initially refused access to the residence until he called Kelvin and it was confirmed. The security guards stared at Zachary in bewilderment and wondered how he was suddenly related to Kelvin, the richest man in Texas. They knew Kelvin because their boss had had some contact with him. And the social media also portrayed him as the richest which was quite true.Kelvin reached out and hugged his grandson. After they pulled out of the embrace, Zachary introduced Mirabel to him."Grandpa, This is Mirabel, my…""Your girlfriend." Kelvin helped him to complete the statement with a broad smile on his face. Mirabel was already blushing from the initial compliment Kelvin had given to her. She hurriedly ended the call with Emily when Kelvin started throwing compliments at her. Hopefully, Emily didn't hear any of it or she'd get more jealous. 'So what if she gets jealous. That's her problem n

Chapter 111. I was wrong
"That person looks like Mirabel." Emily muttered from under her breath. As she turned to look closely at the type of vehicle, the car had already started leaving. However, she was able to catch the plate number and deduced something. It wasn't Mirabel's car. Moreover, she drove her car by herself."Whose vehicle was that?" Emily tried to think of where she had seen that exact vehicle."Yeah, I remember now. I'm sure I've seen that plate number somewhere and it matches with the color of the vehicle I know. Oh! It's Zachary's. I've seen him exit the company in that same car."Emily was stunned at the discovery. "What would Mirabel be doing in Zachary's car when she has her own. Moreover, where were they going?"Emily was trying so hard to find out what was really going on. Mirabel had earlier told her that they were not in a relationship yet. However, it looked like they were going to some kind of party together."Yeah, that's it. I'm sure Zachary had asked her to accompany him. It only

Chapter 110. Most beautiful girl in school
Zachary descended the stairs in style. He was dressed in a black notch lapel suit and black shoes to match. He had a pair of glasses on his right hand while his left hand was inside his pocket. He looked dashing in his outfit and quiff hairstyle. Mirabel could not help but gape at the young man as he marched towards them.Following Mirabel's gaze, Nathan saw that it was Zachary approaching. He stared at the young lady and to Zachary before clearing his throat, distracting Mirabel.Mirabel smiled and turned her face away, a blush making its way on her face. She was happy that the man had been distracted from probing her to answer his question."Ofcourse, everyone in our class knew Emily. Infact, she was popular in the whole school because she thought she was the most beautiful girl. However, that wasn't entirely true because there were other girls whose beauty superseded hers."Zachary glanced at Mirabel and continued. "Dad, Mirabel is our guest and you shouldn't be asking her such kin
