The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Forty-Five
The classroom was thick with tension as Richard stood his ground, his eyes locked with Dominic’s. The whole class seemed to hold its breath, unsure of what would happen next. The sharp words and subtle jabs had been exchanged back and forth, but this moment felt different. This was the boiling point. Richard had, for the first time, openly challenged Dominic’s claim of power, and it left everyone stunned. Even Dominic, with his usual air of superiority, faltered slightly.The classroom fell silent, and the hum of whispered conversations ceased as all eyes turned to Richard. They couldn't believe what they were witnessing. Richard was challenging Dominic? The same Dominic who, just minutes ago, had been boasting about his uncle’s influence at the Evercrest company? The same Dominic who was used to intimidating everyone around him?Richard’s calm demeanor only made his words even more powerful. There was no fear, no hesitation in his voice. He had been through enough to know that words l

Dominic's fingers tightened around the phone as he waited for his uncle to pick up. The atmosphere in the room was tense, everyone anxiously watching him. When the call finally connected, Dominic's voice was steady, almost casual, as he greeted his uncle.“Hello, Uncle,” Dominic said, his words betraying a hint of confidence, his gaze never leaving Richard.“Hello, little nephew,” Mr. Anderson responded warmly, his voice laced with familiarity. “What’s going on? You know you don’t call me unless you need something.”Mr. Anderson had known Dominic for years and could easily tell when his nephew was after something. But this time, Dominic was about to ask for something that would tip the balance of power in his favor. He smirked as he got straight to the point.“I heard our school will be coming to your company for an excursion,” Dominic said, his voice smooth, as if the answer to his request was already a foregone conclusion.“Yes, nephew, I’m preparing to receive all of you warmly. It’

The day of the much-anticipated excursion had finally arrived. The excitement among the students was palpable, and the atmosphere was electric. Charles and Oliver, their faces bright with anticipation, were eagerly chatting with each other as they gathered near the bus. Christabel and Emily stood nearby, both sporting smiles that reflected their excitement for the trip ahead. The group was about to embark on a journey to the Ever Crest Company, and the thought of exploring the company had everyone buzzing with energy.However, there was one notable absence—Richard. He had yet to arrive, and the group couldn’t help but wonder if he would even show up at all.“Are you sure Richard will be joining us for this excursion?” Thomas asked, his voice laced with curiosity, but also a hint of skepticism.Charles, trying to reassure the group, gave a confident nod. “Yes, he will be joining us. We left him back at the dorm, but he promised he’d catch up with us here.”There was a lingering doubt in

The grandeur of the Ever-Crest company left the students in awe as they entered the vast, luxurious complex. The exterior view of the building alone was enough to captivate anyone, with its sleek, modern design and impressive structure. The architecture was a perfect blend of sophistication and innovation, a true reflection of the company’s stature in the industry.“This place is even more breathtaking than I imagined,” Thomas exclaimed, his voice full of wonder.The rest of the students couldn’t help but agree, nodding enthusiastically. The Ever-Crest company, with its gleaming glass walls and pristine surroundings, surpassed all of their expectations.“This isn't a surprise to me anymore, I’ve been here countless times,” Dominic said smugly, clearly enjoying the reaction of his peers. His words carried an air of superiority, as he was no stranger to this luxurious environment.“Is your uncle really the manager of this place?” one of his classmates asked, their curiosity piqued.“Yes,

As the atmosphere in the Ever-Crest company’s grand building grew tense, Mr. Anderson’s slap echoed loudly, freezing the entire room in stunned silence. His palm made contact with Dominic’s cheek in an abrupt, shocking manner. "Slap!" It was the kind of slap no one expected to see coming—not from someone of Mr. Anderson's stature, and certainly not directed at his nephew, Dominic. The group of students and staff surrounding them stared in disbelief. Many had assumed that Mr. Anderson would support Dominic, using his authority as the manager to assert his influence. Instead, he had done the exact opposite. Dominic stood still, utterly stunned, his hand raised to his cheek as the sting of the slap lingered. He was left speechless, utterly unprepared for the public humiliation that had just unfolded before him. Thomas and the others exchanged glances, their minds racing to make sense of the situation. The tension was palpable, and nobody dared to speak a word at first. “You have no r

Richard stood still in the grand lobby of the Apex company, his heart beating a little faster as he took in the sheer elegance of the place. It was nothing like the university he attended or the simple, quiet streets of Willowbrook. Here, everything spoke of power, wealth, and sophistication. The towering marble pillars, the gleaming glass walls that reflected the perfect image of the surrounding skyline, and the soft hum of professional activity created an aura of exclusivity that felt both awe-inspiring and intimidating.He tried to shake off the feeling, the nervous flutter in his chest. He was used to high-end places, after all. His father’s companies, his connections, all of it was part of his world. But still, walking into this place alone—without the shadow of his father’s name to protect him—was a different experience. His mind wandered back to the conversation he had had with his friends just the day before.“What new places are you visiting?” Oliver had asked, genuine curiosi
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Fifty-One
Richard stood there, silently fuming, as Dominic’s words echoed in his mind. His heart pounded with frustration, but he tried his best to maintain his composure. The room felt suffocating, as if the air was thick with the tension between them. Dominic, with his usual air of arrogance, had come in like a storm, surrounded by his entourage. Richard, standing alone, felt a wave of isolation wash over him, but he refused to let it show. He could feel the weight of their judgment, their eyes narrowing in on him, and yet he kept his chin up, resolute. He would not let them provoke him.The receptionist’s rude tone still lingered in his mind, adding to the mounting frustration. Richard glanced over at her, but she had already turned away, attending to Dominic and his group. The secretary, who had appeared with her cold, indifferent smile, led Dominic and the others away. Richard, despite his outward calm, couldn’t help but feel a tightening in his chest as he watched them walk toward the meet

“What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and call the manager now, or you’ll be escorted out by security this very minute!” The receptionist's voice rang out sharply, full of authority and impatience.Richard, still grappling with the surreal turn of events, realized with a jolt that he hadn’t yet reached out to the manager. His conversation with Dominic and his team had distracted him entirely, and now he was facing the full brunt of the receptionist’s irritation.With a quick, almost instinctive movement, Richard pulled out his phone and dialed the number for Mr. Darius Reid, the manager of Apex Company.“Hello, am I speaking to Mr. Darius Reid?” Richard’s voice, though calm, had an edge of urgency to it.On the other end, the manager immediately recognized the number. His tone shifted to one of immediate respect.“It’s an honor to be of service to you, sir. Whatever you need, just say the word, and I will make it happen,” Mr. Reid replied, his voice laced with deference.“I’m curre

Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty-Five
The situation had escalated beyond anything Richard could have predicted. Margaret had been taken away by the guards, Thomas, too, was nowhere to be found, and it seemed as though the Hamilton Enterprises building was becoming more of a fortress with every passing minute. Desperation settled in Richard's chest. He had to do something—he couldn’t just stand by and watch them take everyone he cared about. The guards were getting more aggressive, and the protestors outside were beginning to panic, unsure of what was going on inside the building.Richard’s mind raced. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that the time for patience was over. There were people inside—his friends, the ones who had been wronged—and he couldn’t let them suffer anymore. The building that once felt like a symbol of the Hamiltons’ strength now felt like a cage, and Richard had no choice but to act.Richard moved toward the entrance, his eyes scanning the surroundings, looking for any sign of weaknes
Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty-Four
Lucas approached the gates with purpose, his eyes locking with the security guards. He spoke with them for a few moments, his voice smooth and firm. Richard couldn’t hear the exact words, but it was clear that the guards were now taking him seriously. One of them stepped back, presumably to relay the message inside, and a few moments later, the gates creaked open slightly.“Follow me,” one of the guards instructed, gesturing for Lucas to come inside.Margaret, filled with a mix of hope and caution, nodded and moved forward. “This is it,” she said to Richard, turning to face him with a weary smile. “I believe it will be resolved now.”Richard, however, had an uneasy feeling deep in his gut. Something wasn’t right. He could feel it in the air, the tension that was almost palpable. He wanted to trust Lucas, but he couldn’t shake the nagging doubt. This was the Hamiltons’ world, and people like Margaret and the protestors were just pawns.Minutes passed, then an unsettling sound cut throu
Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty Three
The air was thick with tension as Richard stood among the gathered protestors, his mind racing through the events that had led up to this moment. The group of disgruntled investors, led by Margaret, was growing increasingly frustrated with each passing minute, their voices rising in anger as they faced the iron gates of Hamilton Enterprises. Richard had stepped in to help, offering his expertise and resources, but even he knew that this was not a fight that could be easily won. Hamilton Enterprises was a powerhouse, and the Hamilton family, with all their wealth and connections, were not used to being challenged.Margaret, however, was undeterred. Her passion and sense of injustice were palpable. She had been duped into believing in a future she could trust, only to be burned by the very people she had put her faith in. Now, she wanted nothing more than to get the money back that she had invested, and she was determined to make sure everyone knew the truth.Despite Richard’s support,

Richard was tired. It had been a long day filled with both class and work, but as he walked home from the university, something unusual caught his eye. He noticed a group of people gathered near a building, their voices rising in frustration and anger. At first, Richard thought it was just another protest, maybe something political, but then something made him stop. The figure standing at the forefront of the crowd immediately drew his attention.It was Amelia’s mother, her face twisted with emotion as she stood at the front of the group, demanding something. Richard’s heart skipped a beat. He knew of her, of course—she was a woman of stature, well respected in the business world, and married into the Hamilton family, one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the region. But what was she doing here, in front of a building that looked like it belonged to another powerful figure? It was rare for people of her caliber to be caught in such public displays of protest.He had alway

The days that followed the collapse of Victor Carmichael’s empire were a blur of media frenzy, legal battles, and corporate upheaval. The world had woken up to the truth, and the sound of Victor Carmichael's fall echoed through every newsroom, every government office, and every financial institution. Richard Harrington had been the one to orchestrate this monumental shift. He had been the ghost in the machine, the man who patiently waited for the right moment, only to strike when the empire was most vulnerable.As the revelations about Carmichael’s illicit activities spread, the public outcry was deafening. Television screens blared with news of Carmichael Enterprises being implicated in corruption, illegal arms deals, and exploitation of labor across the globe. News anchors debated on air, and lawyers and investigators scrambled to get in front of the cameras, making bold statements about how they would bring the company to justice.It was exactly what Richard had wanted. He had care

Richard’s breath came in shallow bursts as he stood in front of Victor Carmichael, the man who had orchestrated the destruction of his family, who had built his empire on lies and bloodshed. The safe, which he had just been moments away from opening, now felt like a distant memory. His hand was still resting on the lock mechanism, but his focus was entirely on the man standing before him—Victor Carmichael, his face a mask of calmness, but with eyes that betrayed a flicker of unease.Victor’s calm voice echoed through the room. “So, you thought you could get away with this, Richard?”Richard straightened, his gaze unflinching as he met Victor’s cold stare. “I didn’t think I could get away with it. I planned for it. And I made sure my friends know exactly where I am. You can’t touch me, Victor.”There was a long pause as Victor took a step back, seemingly surprised by Richard’s resolve. His lips curled into a tight smile. “You’ve really thought this through, haven’t you? Always one step
Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Nine
For months now, Richard had been living two lives: one as a diligent student, balancing his classes with the pressures of his ambitious career, and the other as a trusted employee within Victor Carmichael’s empire, working tirelessly to dismantle it from the inside. He had quickly risen through the ranks of Carmichael Enterprises, and the trust he had garnered from his colleagues was undeniable. Everyone had begun to see him as a competent, hardworking, and reliable part of the team. He had proven himself time and time again by securing new partnerships, building relationships with key figures, and handling increasingly complex tasks.Richard’s friends, Charles and Oliver, had always known that Richard was up to something bigger, something dangerous. They had supported him in their own way, understanding the importance of his mission but also growing concerned about the toll it was taking on him. They’d seen the late nights, the constant tension in his eyes, and how he sometimes seeme
Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Eight
It had barely been a month since Richard had joined Carmichael Enterprises, yet the impact of his presence was undeniable. In just a short period, he had transformed from a fresh-faced employee to one of the most talked-about people in the company. His connections, his quick thinking, and his ability to navigate the corporate landscape had granted Carmichael Enterprises several high-profile partnerships, and their position in the industry had grown exponentially. Victor Carmichael himself had taken note of Richard’s rapid ascent, a rare feat in a company where loyalty was earned through years of backbreaking work. At first, it had been subtle. Richard had helped secure a deal with Baldwin Industries, bypassing months of stalled negotiations. Then came another deal—this time, a partnership with a consortium of government contractors that pushed Carmichael Enterprises into new, uncharted territories. Richard’s business acumen and ability to leverage connections had made him invaluable.
Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Seven
Richard’s first day at Carmichael Enterprises was a blur of introductions, orientations, and briefings. As the hours passed, he settled into his new role. He had been briefed by Mr. James beforehand on what to expect, and it helped him navigate the challenges of his first day with ease. The questions asked during the interview were simple enough to answer, but Richard had made sure he crafted his responses carefully. With the knowledge he’d prepared, he passed every inquiry effortlessly, stunning his interviewers with his sharp intellect and calm demeanor. There was a certain satisfaction in seeing the surprised looks on their faces. Victor Carmichael’s company, known for its ruthless efficiency, had seen plenty of applicants come and go, but none had impressed like Richard. His confidence, combined with his insights, made him a highly valuable asset to the company—and before long, he was in. When the meeting ended, Richard was given a tour of the company’s sleek, high-rise headquar
