The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Ninety-Seven
Richard had plans to meet Amelia after class.The lecture had just ended for the day, and Richard was about to leave when he was stopped by Charles."Where are you going, Richard?" Charles asked, a smile on his face. "I thought you were going to join us at the basketball court. You promised you'd be part of the team."It suddenly clicked for Richard—he had agreed to join some of the boys from class for a basketball game that day. Initially, they'd teased him about not being athletic enough, and he had accepted the challenge, wanting to show them that he was more than capable. But now, as his plans to meet Amelia loomed, he was torn.“I think he’s just scared," came a voice from the background, dripping with sarcasm.Richard turned to see Liam, the school’s star basketball player, walking toward them. Liam had a reputation for arrogance, always looking down on others, especially those who weren’t as skilled as him. His numerous awards and trophies had earned him respect from everyone at

Richard made his way to Amelia’s office, his mind racing with thoughts of how to help her in this dire situation. He’d been there before, so the security guard at the entrance recognized him immediately. Initially, the guards had been hesitant to let him in, but Amelia had stepped in and firmly told them that Richard should be allowed entry to the company anytime he wished to visit. Since then, they had no trouble letting him pass.“Are you here to see Ms. Amelia?” the receptionist asked, her tone polite yet inquisitive.Richard nodded in affirmation, offering a brief smile before he made his way toward the elevator.Though he had visited Amelia’s office several times, this time felt different. The atmosphere was tense, and Richard could already sense the weight of whatever was going on. When he reached her office, he stopped just short of the door. Voices from within carried through the thin walls—heated arguments that were unmistakably from a meeting with the company’s shareholders.

Amelia was stunned by Richard's confidence. His words hung in the air, offering a glimmer of hope, but the reality of her situation made her skeptical. Richard was an ordinary college student—how could he possibly secure an investor capable of saving her company?“Do you know what you’re saying?” she asked, her voice laced with disbelief. “If the shareholders withdraw their shares, my company will go bankrupt. I don’t have enough funds to pay them off.”Richard, however, remained firm. “From the looks of it, they’re not interested in staying with you. If that’s the case, then we find another shareholder. I can get you an investor who will buy their shares, and you can pay them off—easy as that.”The shareholders, who had been watching the exchange with growing amusement, burst into laughter. It was as if Richard had cracked a ridiculous joke.“Are you serious?” Mr. Jasper Laker sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. “How could a nobody like him possibly find a wealthy investor willi

Richard felt the weight of the moment pressing on him as he stood up from his seat in the conference room. With a calm but determined expression, he looked at Amelia before speaking."Just give me a few minutes, and I’ll be back with some good news," Richard said confidently, though internally, his mind raced with uncertainty.Amelia, despite her growing doubts, could only hope that Richard would be able to deliver on his promise. At this point, he was her last hope. She watched him leave the room, her gaze lingering on the door long after it had closed behind him.The conference hall was now thick with tension. Everyone present knew how critical the next steps would be, and it seemed that Richard was the only person left who could save Amelia’s company. As Richard stepped out of the room, his thoughts immediately turned to James, the one person he believed could help.Although Richard had more than enough resources in his own accounts to help Amelia, sending money directly would revea

Everyone was stunned into silence as Mr. Gerald’s statement hung in the air like a dark cloud. They all knew him—ruthless, calculating, a man who never agreed to anything unless there was something in it for him. His demand sent shockwaves through the room, leaving the shareholders exchanging uneasy glances, uncertain of what to expect next.“I will only agree to meet here tomorrow if I receive a written statement from Amelia, declaring that she will end her relationship with Richard and accept my proposal,” Mr. Gerald announced, his voice laced with smug certainty.A heavy silence followed. Amelia felt her stomach drop, and Richard’s face darkened with barely contained anger. They had expected challenges, but this? This was something else entirely.Richard and Amelia exchanged bewildered glances, struggling to grasp the depths of Mr. Gerald’s desperation. Amelia could feel the weight of a hundred eyes on her, watching, waiting. It was suffocating. She knew the kind of man Mr. Gerald w

“I will be taking my leave now,” Richard said, his voice steady yet unreadable as he turned toward the door. Without another word, he walked out of the hall, his footsteps echoing in the heavy silence.Amelia watched him go, still in shock at this new side of him. There was something different—something almost commanding—about the way he carried himself now. He wasn’t the same Richard she had known before. But what had changed?She shook her head, trying to push away the thoughts clouding her mind. It was already late, and she needed to head home. Gathering her things, she cleared her desk, picked up her bag, and exited the office.The drive home was a short one—only twenty minutes. Normally, she would enjoy the peaceful ride, letting the hum of the engine soothe her nerves. But tonight, her mind was restless. Mr. Gerald’s threats, her father’s expectations, and Richard’s mysterious confidence all swirled inside her head, making it impossible to find any sense of clarity.By the time s

The doors swung open with force, capturing everyone’s attention. A heavy silence fell over the room as all eyes turned toward the entrance.Richard stood there.Amelia’s heart nearly leaped out of her chest. Relief flooded through her veins as she locked eyes with him. He had come. But had he succeeded?“Were you able to get an investor for my company?” Amelia asked anxiously, her voice trembling slightly.Richard’s gaze flickered toward the document on the table—the one Amelia had been moments away from signing. His jaw tightened. She had almost given in. Almost let Gerald win. It stung more than he expected, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on it. Instead, he pushed aside his frustration, keeping his emotions in check. There were more pressing matters at hand.The shareholders, who had been reveling in Amelia’s inevitable surrender, were now caught off guard. Murmurs of disbelief echoed through the room.Mr. Dustin scoffed, breaking the tense silence. “Have you come again to waste ou

Richard remained composed, despite the growing tension in the room. Even though Mr. Fabian lacked immediate proof of his identity as a representative of the Morgan Empire, Richard knew that one undeniable fact would silence every skeptic in the room—the money.If Mr. Fabian transferred the investment funds to Amelia’s company, there would be no more room for doubt. The numbers would speak for themselves.Across the room, Amelia was visibly tense. She knew how much was at stake. If this deal fell through, her company would be on the brink of collapse, and she’d have no choice but to accept Mr. Gerald’s proposal. She could feel the weight of every expectant gaze on her, waiting to see if this investor was real or just another trick by Richard.There was only one way to prove it.Turning her attention to Mr. Fabian, she took a deep breath before speaking. “How much are you willing to invest in my company?”Her voice was steady, but inside, her heart pounded relentlessly.This question was

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

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 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

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.

With the knowledge he’d prepared, he passed every inquiry effortlessly, stunning his interviewers with his sharp intellect and calm demeanor.

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
