The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Fifty-Four
The school had resumed, and there was a noticeable buzz in the air. Students were eager to reunite with their friends, to dive back into the rhythm of school life. It was the usual excitement of the first day, but for some, there was an added layer of intrigue. Dominic couldn’t shake the memory of his embarrassing encounter with Richard at the Apex company.As he walked through the halls, he couldn’t resist taunting Richard. “So, were you able to get the position as a cleaner at the Apex company?” Dominic sneered, trying to mask the bitterness from his humiliating experience.Richard, who had been in no mood to back down, shot him a calm look. “As I told you before, I didn’t go there to look for a job as a cleaner. I went to see a friend. And yes, I did meet with him,” he replied smoothly, avoiding the truth about the manager to keep Dominic from digging deeper.But Richard wasn’t done with his subtle jab. He wanted to make sure Dominic remembered his failure that day. “It seems like y

The next day, Richard sat down at his desk, eager to check his account. He was hoping to catch up on some messages and plan his next steps. However, when he tried to log in, something strange happened. His heart sank as the screen displayed the dreaded error message—“Access Denied.”“What the hell?” Richard muttered under his breath, repeatedly entering his username and password, only to get the same response each time. He couldn’t believe it. His account, the one he had so carefully cultivated under the alias of the “Golden Boy,” was inaccessible.“My account has been hacked!” Richard screamed, his voice a mixture of frustration and panic.His mind raced as he tried to comprehend what had just happened. The account he had used to help others, and in the process, protect his identity, was now in the hands of a complete stranger. Richard couldn’t afford to tell anyone—especially Oliver or Charles. If they found out, his carefully crafted persona would be ruined, and the truth would spil
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Fifty-Six
Christabel watched in confusion as a group of young men walked toward her and the so-called golden boy. Their confident strides and casual, yet expensive, clothing caught her attention. There were five of them in total, all looking like they belonged to some exclusive club or had money to burn.The golden boy smiled slyly as they approached, and Christabel couldn’t help but feel a slight unease creeping up her spine. He had been nothing but charming since they sat down, but now, with the arrival of his friends, something about the situation felt off."Don't worry, they're just here to keep things casual," the golden boy said, noticing her discomfort. "They're friends of mine, and we're all just here to have a good time."Christabel nodded, trying to shake off her unease, but she couldn’t ignore the gut feeling that had started gnawing at her.The group sat down at the table, and introductions were made. The golden boy casually called them by name, but they didn’t seem particularly frie

As the group of young men approached the table where Christabel and the man claiming to be the golden boy sat, tension filled the air. Christabel watched in confusion as Thomas, the leader of the group, locked eyes with the man sitting across from her."Are you really the golden boy?" Thomas asked, his voice laced with skepticism.The young man, trying to hold his composure but failing to mask his nervousness, hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Christabel, who was oblivious to the brewing storm, and then nodded quickly, attempting to sound confident. "Yes, I am the golden boy. What help can I offer to you?" he said, though his voice quivered slightly.Thomas's face twisted into a smirk as his suspicions were confirmed. He had been tracking the golden boy for weeks, watching him gain attention from the women at Willowbrook University, especially Christabel. Jealousy flared within him, especially since the golden boy had even managed to capture his girlfriend’s attention. He had made

Barry, the young man who had hacked Richard's account, sat hunched on the cold floor, his body trembling with fear. His initial cockiness when he'd taken on the identity of the golden boy had quickly turned to dread. He had thought that once people discovered who he was, they would admire him, maybe even fear him. But instead, all he'd managed to do was anger people, especially Thomas and his gang.He had been hoping for admiration, but now he was facing something far worse than what he could have ever imagined. If he had known that the golden boy had so many enemies—especially Thomas—he would never have dared to expose himself as the infamous "Golden Boy." But now, with his identity exposed, he had no choice but to endure the consequences.The realization struck him like a ton of bricks. The golden boy was not a title of prestige; it was a curse. The gang of young men that had circled around him had no mercy, and they were intent on showing him just how much they despised him.Richard
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Fifty-Nine
Barry’s decision to refuse medical help was rooted in more than just pride—it was a matter of survival, or at least of maintaining the illusion of being the Golden Boy. He was terrified that going to the hospital would not only expose his injuries but also his ruse. After all, what kind of lavish spender would be unable to pay for a hospital bill? The whole point of his persona was to maintain an image of wealth, one that was fragile and could easily crumble if anyone saw the cracks.The designer clothes he wore—rented for the occasion—had cost him nearly all his savings just to pull off a convincing appearance. The thought of paying an extra f*e for not returning them on time was unbearable. He could barely afford the deposit, and the added charges would push him further into financial ruin. At this point, his carefully crafted image was all he had left.“I’ll be fine, Christabel,” Barry insisted, his voice weak but persistent. “I just need to get to something urgent. I’ll be good. We

Charles and Oliver exchanged glances, both visibly concerned and puzzled by the way Miss Mirabel had singled Richard out for a personal request. The entire class had noticed, and now they were questioning what was really going on between the two of them.Richard could feel the tension rising in the room as whispers spread like wildfire. He had always been close to Miss Mirabel, but the attention it was drawing now made him uncomfortable. He had always respected her for being a good lecturer and a mentor, but this new level of curiosity from his classmates was unexpected."Is everything okay, Richard?" Charles asked, his tone a mix of concern and curiosity. "I mean, it’s not every day a lecturer calls you out like that, especially with an invitation to her place. You sure there’s nothing more to it?"Richard, feeling the weight of their gaze, ran a hand through his hair and sighed. He knew that his usual aloof demeanor wasn’t enough to brush off their suspicions. He could feel their eye

“There’s nothing going on between me and Miss Mirabel,” Richard said, his voice steady, though his mind raced as he met their curious gazes. “I just think she’s always had a way of looking out for me. Now that she needs my help, it only feels right to return the favor.”Charles and Oliver exchanged a glance, skepticism still evident in their eyes. Richard's tone was so calm, his words so confident, that they couldn’t quite read him. He seemed sincere, but they both knew how well Richard could hide his true feelings. Still, the certainty in his eyes made them pause. Perhaps, for once, he wasn’t keeping something from them.The conversation lingered in the air as they shifted back into the rhythm of the day’s classes. Richard, however, felt a sense of quiet unease settle over him. He couldn’t help but wonder about Miss Mirabel’s intentions. What could she possibly want from him? He knew it wasn’t just about the schoolwork—there was always something more to her gestures, but he couldn’t q

The next day, Rose returned to the restaurant. It felt surreal, as if she was stepping back into a life she had tried so hard to leave behind. The familiar smells of sautéed onions, sizzling steaks, and freshly baked bread filled her senses, stirring up memories she wasn’t sure she was ready to face. But the moment her foot crossed the threshold, everything changed.Her colleagues greeted her with surprised smiles, open arms, and enthusiastic chatter. The warmth they offered was genuine, even though there was an undertone of curiosity about her sudden return. The news had spread quickly through the kitchen, and they had all wondered how she could come back after the way she had left.The first person to approach her was Maya, her old friend, now looking more confident behind the pass.“Rose! You’re back!” Maya said, her voice bubbling with excitement. “I didn’t think we’d see you again. You really came back.”Rose smiled faintly, a soft, nervous laugh escaping her lips. “I didn’t thin

“There is still hope—but only if we act fast,” Richard said, his voice steady yet urgent. His eyes locked onto Rose’s, a flicker of determination in his gaze. “Get me a quarter pound of caterpillar, a quarter pound of cockroach, and a quarter pound of spider. Fry them, then place them in an airtight container.”Rose stood frozen, her mind reeling. She stared at Richard, her expression a mixture of disbelief and confusion. She had no idea what to make of his words. The thought of such bizarre ingredients was both unsettling and baffling. Was this really the way to save her mother?“Is that all you need?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly. She wanted to believe him—desperately—but everything felt too strange, too foreign.Richard met her gaze without hesitation. “Yes, this is just the first treatment,” he said calmly. “Once you have those, I’ll also need the back of a mango, the seed of a watermelon, cashew nuts, and water from a watermelon. Those will be used to prepare a concocti

“You don’t have to worry about Mary. She’s always like that,” Linda said, her voice light but with a hint of resignation. “Soon, you’ll get used to her way of treating people.”Linda was one of the waitresses at the restaurant, and unlike Mary, who radiated an icy distance, Linda had a warmth to her presence that made her stand out. She always wore a smile, as though she was trying to make up for the coldness that lingered in the air.Richard glanced at her, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “Is she always like that, even with customers?” he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. He couldn’t fathom how someone in customer service could be so indifferent.Linda sighed, her gaze briefly flickering toward the door as though she were weighing how much she should reveal. “Yeah, she’s pretty rude to customers too. It’s honestly cost us a few regulars.” She lowered her voice, leaning in slightly. “But don’t tell anyone I said that. It could get me into serious trouble.”Richard frowned, his

Richard had not planned to stay long at the restaurant. He only wanted to check on things before heading back to his dorm, but now he could tell that the restaurant needed him. He was ready to help out.“I think something’s off here, and I need to find out for myself,” Richard stated.“How do you plan on doing that?” Trevor Spanner asked.“Do you have room to hire an additional staff member?” Richard asked.“An extra staff member isn’t what we need right now, especially with the decrease in revenue. But if the staff is resourceful, then I suppose it could be a good idea,” Trevor replied.“Then consider me joining the team,” Richard said.Trevor Spanner was taken aback. He thought Richard was asking for someone else to join, but instead, he was the one offering to work at the restaurant.“Are you sure about this?” Trevor asked.“Yes, just for the time being. I want to find out what’s really going on with the restaurant, whether it’s an external issue or something we can solve internally

Everyone was shocked as Trevor Spanner, known for his elusive presence in the company, hurriedly approached Richard.“Who is Mr. Richard Morgan?” Trevor Spanner asked with curiosity.Richard was slightly taken aback, but he knew exactly who it was. Trevor Spanner was a name known across the industry.“Mr. Richard Morgan, it's truly an honor to meet you,” Trevor Spanner said, bowing slightly in a gesture of respect.The group around them froze in disbelief. The powerful Trevor Spanner, someone who was usually seen at high-profile meetings, was bowing to Richard?“I’m terribly sorry for the delay,” Trevor continued, still bowing. “Please, feel free to punish me as you see fit. I truly regret the inconvenience caused.”Richard replied calmly, “You’ve arrived just in time. I thought you might not make it.”Trevor smiled, “I was held up, but as soon as I received your call, I rushed here. I never want to be the reason for delaying anything important related to the restaurant.”The onlookers

Richard stood outside the gates of the Quantum Restaurant, his eyes scanning the sleek, polished exterior. Though he had frequented many high-end eateries before, there was something undeniably alluring about this place. The gleaming glass windows and the sophisticated architecture were like a beacon, promising luxury and exclusivity. The kind of place where the wealthiest of the wealthy dined. He felt a sense of anticipation and curiosity welling up inside him. This restaurant was one of the few he hadn't yet stepped foot in, and he was determined to make it today.However, his appearance was less than fitting for such a prestigious venue. He wore casual clothes, the stark contrast to the polished corporate suits worn by the others entering. Richard wasn't concerned about his appearance, though. He had a meeting to attend, and that's what mattered.As he approached the entrance, two security guards stepped forward, blocking his way with stern expressions.“Hey, you, stop there. Where

Richard didn’t quite understand Laura’s insistence, but there was a glimmer of hesitation in his heart. She had given him the black card, something valuable, and yet she was not satisfied. She felt she owed him more, and as she spoke, her voice carried an intense sincerity that seemed to both pull him in and push him away at the same time."Richard," she said, her voice soft yet determined, "I’ve told you many times that it's not about the black card. What you did for my father was beyond what anyone could have expected. You gave him back his life, and for that, I can't just thank you with a card. You're special, Richard, and I want to treat you like someone who deserves that kind of appreciation."Richard felt the weight of her words. There was genuine gratitude in her tone, but beneath it, there was something more—a pull he couldn't quite place. Before he could respond, Laura stood up and walked towards him, her steps slow and deliberate, a seductive sway in her walk that caught Rich

Richard walked into his grandfather’s study, the familiar scent of mahogany filling the air as he approached the man sitting comfortably in his chair, looking as composed as ever. His grandfather, George, looked up with a warm smile, clearly pleased to see his grandson."Hello, grandfather, it's been a while. I decided to check up on you," Richard said, his voice calm, though there was an underlying curiosity that had been building inside him since his last encounter."Ah, my grandson," Mr. George said with genuine affection, his eyes lighting up. "You did well by making time to see me. I truly enjoy moments like these, where we can sit and talk, just like a grandfather and grandson should. I wish these visits would come more often."Richard smiled faintly, but there was something else that weighed on his mind. He sat down and began recounting the strange experiences he'd encountered over the past few days. The healing power he had discovered, his ability to assist his colleagues, and

Richard stood over Andrew's frail body, the room thick with anticipation. His fingers wrapped around the silver acupuncture needles as he took a deep, steadying breath. The weight of the moment settled in, but his focus was unwavering. With a slight flick of his wrist, the first needle slid into Andrew's lower abdomen. His hands were steady, his movements precise, as a pulse of energy seemed to flow through the needle into the old man’s body. Richard’s mind was fully absorbed in the task at hand.His second needle followed, just above the first. Without hesitation, he continued, positioning the next few in a straight line from the first two. But Richard didn’t simply insert the needles. Instead, he delicately and deliberately pushed them upward from Andrew's abdomen, forcing them slowly and gently. Each insertion seemed to stir something deep within the old man’s body—like something was awakening, shifting beneath his skin. For a moment, Richard could almost feel it, the tension, the r
