The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Seventy-Eight
Mr. Spencer watched in disbelief as Richard and Mr. James walked out of his office, the heavy atmosphere of tension lifting with each step they took. It felt as though his world had shifted in an instant. The young man he had planned to expel—someone he had written off as just another rebellious student—was now walking away unscathed, while he, the vice chancellor, was left with nothing but a bruised ego and a shaken confidence. The silence in the office was deafening."Mr. Wade," Spencer said in a voice that was barely above a whisper, his anger simmering beneath the surface. "What just happened?"Mr. Wade, still trying to process the situation, stood frozen for a moment. "I... I don’t know, sir. I never expected Mr. James to be involved. I thought we had this all figured out.""You thought wrong," Spencer snapped. His eyes narrowed. "How could you let this happen? Richard Morgan just outmaneuvered both of us, and now we're left looking like fools!"Mr. Wade shifted uncomfortably unde
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Seventy-Nine
Mr. Spencer, still recovering from the shocking revelation of Richard’s true identity, fixed his gaze on the young man who had just flipped the entire situation on its head. His initial disbelief and surprise were quickly replaced by a rising sense of urgency as he realized just how precarious his position had become. He had always thought of Richard as just another ordinary student, but now, the truth had been laid bare. Richard was not only the rightful owner of 70% of the shares at Willowbrook University, but he also had the ear of someone as powerful as Mr. James. This shift in power left Mr. Spencer reeling, trying to regain control of the conversation.Mr. Spencer’s voice faltered as he tried to maintain his composure. "So... you're telling me that Richard is the true owner of these shares... not James? That changes everything." He turned to Mr. Wade, who was equally stunned, and they shared a silent moment of realization. They had both underestimated Richard."Yes, Mr. Spencer,"

The classroom fell into a stunned silence. The revelation hung in the air like a thick fog, leaving everyone trying to process what they had just heard. Richard, who had long been the target of their scorn, stood there quietly, watching as Thomas, once so full of pride and confidence, now stood before them, confessing his guilt.The classmates were in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief. Thomas had always been a model student—outspoken, popular, and admired by many. But now, all of that was tainted. His confession shattered the trust they had placed in him.Richard remained calm, not a hint of smugness or satisfaction on his face. He had seen this coming, but still, it was hard to watch the truth unfold in front of his peers. His gaze shifted to Stella, who had been one of the loudest voices in demanding his expulsion. Her face was pale, her lips trembling as she processed the situation. It was clear she hadn’t expected things to unfold this way. The same went for the rest of the cla
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Eighty-One
The class fell into an unsettling silence, the weight of Thomas’s confession hanging heavily in the air. No one could quite comprehend the magnitude of what had just been revealed—Thomas, the boy from a wealthy family, the one who was always seen as above reproach, had been the thief all along.Richard, who had always been on the receiving end of mockery and suspicion, now stood there, vindicated. The realization hit hard for everyone. Thomas, the one who had been pointing fingers at Richard, had played everyone for fools.As the silence stretched, Richard spoke, his voice steady but laced with a quiet anger. “So, it’s clear to all of you now. I was falsely accused. Thomas, here, was the one who tried to implicate me while all of you stood by and believed it without question.” He let the words sink in. “You all supported him, and when he accused me of stealing, you didn’t hesitate to believe him. But now that the truth has come out, you are left with nothing but shame.”Richard’s words

“All of you have to apologize to Richard in this instance for actually supporting Thomas and making a mockery of Richard,” Mr. Spencer’s voice echoed through the classroom, firm and unwavering.The weight of his words sank deep into the hearts of the students. Their heads dropped slightly, unwilling to meet Richard’s eyes, but no one dared to speak out. The truth was hard to ignore now. They had sided with Thomas without a second thought, blindly believing in his accusations. Richard, on the other hand, had been wronged—and no apology, no matter how sincere, would erase the damage that had been done.Yet, despite the mounting tension, many of them still felt conflicted. They weren’t comfortable with Richard's decision to punish Dominic, and some, no matter how much they regretted their earlier actions, simply couldn't bring themselves to apologize. They felt they had done no wrong. They had believed Thomas—wasn’t that just? Wasn't that what they were supposed to do?“If you fail to apo

“What is your name?” Richard asked, his curiosity piqued as Maya, the senior staff member, led him to the exclusive section of the restaurant.“I am Maya,” she replied, a slight smile curving her lips. “I’ve been working here for quite some time.” There was pride in her voice, the kind of quiet confidence that only comes with experience.Richard nodded, impressed. He could sense the professionalism radiating from her, and it was clear that Maya was not just another staff member but someone who knew her way around the fine dining world. As they walked, Richard observed the seamless elegance of the restaurant, with its polished floors and soft, golden lighting that created a warm, inviting atmosphere. This was a different world from what he was used to.Maya guided him to a secluded, single-person table that was tucked away in a corner, providing a peaceful and exclusive ambiance. “I think I like it here,” Richard said as he took a seat, his voice tinged with quiet satisfaction. “I’ll le

As Richard walked briskly down the quiet, winding path toward the restaurant, his mind was preoccupied with the thought of Amelia. The soft hum of the evening breeze and the distant chirp of crickets were the only sounds that accompanied his steps. Yet, something felt off. His senses tingled with an inexplicable sense of dread. He couldn't shake the feeling that something—someone—was watching him.Suddenly, he noticed them. A group of men, their figures emerging from the shadowed trees ahead. They moved with an eerie, predatory confidence, their eyes fixed on Richard. The air seemed to thicken, the oppressive weight of the moment pressing on his chest. He could tell from their ragged, weathered clothes, and their aggressive posture, that they were no strangers to violence. These weren’t just ordinary thugs. These men were here for a purpose, and that purpose was to cause harm.Richard's heart rate quickened, but he forced himself to stay calm, to think. He tried to take a step in anoth
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Eighty-Five
Richard’s steps were quick, almost measured, as he made his way down the quiet path toward the restaurant. The cold evening air did little to settle his nerves, and each footfall echoed his racing thoughts. The confrontation with the thugs was still fresh in his mind, the harsh words and the threat of violence hanging heavy over him. He had barely processed the weight of the situation when the thought of Amelia waiting for him hit him like a cold gust of wind. She was expecting him—his promises to her lingered like a debt he couldn’t afford to ignore. His mind should have been focused on the confrontation, on the danger, but it kept returning to her. He couldn’t afford to let her down—not after everything they had been through.The world had just shifted beneath his feet, and yet, there was something even bigger waiting for him. The mention of Lucas Harrington’s name still echoed in his ears, reverberating through his skull like an insistent drumbeat. He couldn’t escape it. What did it

Trevor stumbled back, his expression quickly morphing into one of forced composure. “Richard, I—this isn’t what it looks like. I was just talking to Rose, trying to understand what’s going on with her. I—” “Don’t lie to me,” Richard interrupted, stepping into the room, his tone sharp as a blade. “I’ve seen enough.” Rose sat frozen, too stunned to speak. She had heard Richard’s voice, but in this moment, the room felt suffocating, as if she were trapped between two opposing forces. Richard’s arrival should have been a relief, but now she found herself caught between them—between the man who had once been her ally and the man who had tried to control her every move. Richard’s eyes never left Trevor. “I know exactly what you’ve been doing, Trevor. You’ve been manipulating her. Pressuring her. And if you think for one second that I’ll allow this to continue, you’re gravely mistaken.” Trevor’s jaw clenched, his usual calm demeanor shattered. “You don’t understand,” he spat, taking a st

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
