Barry's smirk only deepened as Richard spoke, the presence of the bodyguards making him feel more confident in his position. Richard, however, was undeterred. His eyes were locked on Barry, burning with anger. He could see Christabel, struggling, terrified, and helpless, but the situation was quickly spiraling out of control.“Don’t think you can intimidate me with your goons,” Richard said, his voice firm but edged with intensity. He glanced around, hoping for some kind of intervention, but no one seemed to be coming to his aid. He wasn’t about to back down, not this time, not with Christabel in danger.Barry chuckled, sensing Richard's fear. “You're outnumbered, my friend. This is none of your business. You should’ve stayed out of it.”“Let her go, Barry,” Richard insisted, stepping closer. He felt his heart pounding in his chest, his pulse racing. He had to do something—he couldn’t just stand there and watch.“You really think I’m going to listen to you?” Barry shot back, his tone m

As Richard was surrounded by the group of hotel security guards, a sinking feeling of disappointment washed over him. These men, supposed to be protectors, had clearly sided with Barry, ready to assist in his devious plans."Will you allow Mr. Barry and his girlfriend to go in and carry out their couple's duties, or do you want to face us?" one of the bodyguards, who appeared to be their leader, spoke with authority.Richard's resolve hardened as he looked at the men surrounding him. "Can't you see that Barry is trying to take advantage of Christabel? I'm sure you all have sisters at home. How would you feel if it were her in this situation? Would you rather let another man exploit her, or would you want to protect her from worthless men like Barry?" Richard spoke with an intensity that reflected his deep concern for Christabel.The security guard scoffed. "Christabel isn't our sister, so we don't care what happens to her. We're only interested in getting our reward from Mr. Barry. I w

Nicholas turned to Barry, his voice as cold as steel, demanding the truth. "Speak the truth now. Are you really the 'Golden Boy' as you claimed?" Nicholas's words hung heavily in the air, a clear challenge. Richard had already briefed Nicholas about Barry’s deceit, and how he had hacked into a popular streamer's account to impersonate the real 'Golden Boy.' This was the moment Barry had been dreading—the moment when his lies would be exposed for all to see. Under the weight of the beating from Nicholas’s men, Barry crumbled, his resolve shattered. He could no longer bear the physical pain or the mental strain of keeping up his façade. "My name is Barry, and I'm just an ordinary student," he confessed, his voice barely audible at first. "I know a lot about hacking. When I found out about the 'Golden Boy,' a popular streamer, I saw an opportunity. I figured out there was a loophole in his account’s security. Once I hacked it, I decided to assume his identity, posing as the 'Golden Bo

The next morning, Christabel approached Richard with a deep sense of gratitude, feeling the weight of the events from the previous day. She found him standing by the school entrance, deep in thought.“Richard, I... I just wanted to thank you for saving my life yesterday,” she said, her voice sincere. "If you hadn’t arrived when you did, I don't even want to imagine what could’ve happened."Richard turned to face her with a calm smile. “You don’t need to thank me, Christabel. I did what anyone would do for a friend,” he replied modestly.His words gave Christabel a sense of warmth, yet she couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that lingered. Still, she couldn’t deny that Richard’s actions had been a beacon of hope during a dark moment.Meanwhile, Richard had already filled Emily in on everything that transpired between him, Christabel, and Barry. When Emily overheard their conversation, she decided to step in, hoping to offer some comfort to Christabel.“I’m so sorry about what happened to

As Richard made his way to the class, he couldn't help but feel the weight of his classmates' stares. The tension in the air was palpable. Every face seemed to hold some unspoken question, and Richard found himself wondering if he had done something wrong. His eyes scanned the room, but he couldn't make sense of what was happening until he overheard a conversation from the row behind him."Who knows if the school thief is someone from our class?" The voice was low but carried a distinct hint of suspicion. Richard's heart skipped a beat.Before he could process it, he felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Charles and Oliver, his two closest friends, both of them looking at him with a certain level of concern.“Have you heard about the recent school thief? They’ve been stealing from everyone, and rumors say that the thief might be from our class,” Charles said, his voice edged with worry.“Yeah, and you know... a lot of people are looking suspiciously at others. Have you heard anything abou

As Richard walked into the classroom, he immediately sensed the odd atmosphere. His classmates were unusually quiet, and as soon as he entered, all eyes shifted toward him. He couldn’t help but wonder what was going on, and why the sudden attention was directed at him.Richard tried to shrug it off as he made his way to his usual seat, but as he settled down, he overheard a conversation coming from the group behind him.“Do you think the school thief could be someone from our class?” a voice whispered.Richard’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Thief? He thought, still not understanding what was happening. Was this about the recent incidents around the school? He wasn’t sure, but it was clear something was off. Before he could dwell on it any further, Charles and Oliver approached him.“Have you heard about the school thief, Richard?” Charles asked, his tone laced with curiosity. “It’s been a big topic all over school lately. People are seriously trying to figure out who it is.”“Yeah,

Richard rushed back to the field, clutching the whistle and card in his hands. The match was already in full swing when he returned, and the atmosphere was tense. The game was more than just a match—it was a battle for the Chancellor's Cup, and the stakes were high for everyone involved. Richard, although not officially part of the class team, was still connected to the effort in his own way. His classmates were already anxious, hoping for a victory, but when they saw Charles's header give their team a lead, the atmosphere shifted from nervousness to excitement. However, the other team quickly equalized, and with that, the pressure began to build. The tension was palpable, and the once-celebratory mood now turned into a collective anxiety. It felt as if the class's hopes of winning were slipping away. The department of Psychology, which was the rival team, had clearly stepped up their game, and Richard's classmates realized that the match was far from over. Dominic, one of the star p
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Seventy-Five
The tension was palpable as Richard returned to the field for the start of extra time. The psychology department had made several substitutions, bringing in new players—stronger, more aggressive individuals from the higher levels. These players were more seasoned and seemed determined to claim victory. The shift in their lineup was deliberate; they had noticed Richard’s remarkable performance and decided to strengthen their side with more formidable opponents.Oliver, still feeling the pressure, turned to Richard with a concerned look. “Can you say that this new person from their side is really bigger and stronger than us? Are you sure you will be able to win this game?”Richard didn’t hesitate. “If we put our all in, then we’ll do well, and we’ll win this game. Football isn’t about size or weight. It’s about skill, knowing how to handle the ball when it’s at your feet, and having the confidence to take on any challenge.”His words were directed at Oliver, who seemed unsure, but his te

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

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
Chapter Three Hundred and Forty Six
Richard sat in the quiet of Mr. James’s office, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished wood of the desk. The decision was made. He was going to do this. The path ahead was risky, but there was no other choice. If he was going to take down Victor Carmichael, he would need to get inside the beast’s den—his company—and slowly, piece by piece, tear it apart.The room around him seemed to hold its breath as Mr. James paced in front of him, the older man clearly troubled by the course Richard had chosen. Every few steps, he would glance at Richard, his face a mix of concern and disbelief.“You can’t be serious,” Mr. James said, stopping to face Richard. His voice was steady, but there was an undercurrent of worry. “This is a dangerous game, Richard. Getting inside Carmichael’s company? That’s not something you walk away from without scars. This man—he’s ruthless. And if he even suspects you’re playing him, he won’t hesitate to make you regret it.”Richard met his gaze with a
