The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Sixty-Four
As Dominic and Jane sat down to eat, they found themselves in the midst of a strange mix of emotions. The New Century Eatery, a place so exclusive that only the wealthy and elite frequented, now seemed like the meeting ground for people from all walks of life. They hadn’t expected to see Richard here. After all, Richard was just the school’s humble waiter, someone they had seen serving others, never someone they imagined would be able to afford such a lavish meal at a place like this.The sight of Richard sitting comfortably at a table loaded with delicacies was enough to throw Dominic into confusion. He couldn’t understand why someone like Richard, who barely seemed to have enough to get by, would be dining in a place like this. Was it a fluke? Or was there something more to Richard that Dominic had overlooked? Regardless, he couldn’t help but be curious—and a little envious—of how easily Richard seemed to fit in with the wealthier crowd.Determined to match Richard’s extravagance, Do

As Dominic and Jane stood up, their movement caught the attention of their friends, who were seated around the table. There was a moment of hushed surprise before the others followed suit, curious to see what was happening. With determined steps, they made their way toward Richard and his friends.Richard, who had been enjoying the lighthearted conversation with Chloe, immediately sensed the shift in the atmosphere. He could feel the approaching threat of trouble, and the weight of the situation pressed heavily on his chest. His mind raced, but it was too late to change anything now. The storm was about to hit.Dominic and his group of friends arrived at their table, and as they did, the tone of the conversation shifted. Dominic’s eyes gleamed with an unspoken challenge as he spoke loudly enough for everyone around to hear. “I can see you all are having a nice time together, but some of you here have been hiding your true identities. You're in disguise,” Dominic declared, his voice dri

Richard stepped into the living room, glancing around at the decor, his nerves still on edge. He hadn't intended for things to escalate like this. The simple task of visiting Ms. Mirabel had turned into something more complicated. He could still feel his heart racing from the moments he spent hiding under her wardrobe, and now, standing in front of her, trying to explain himself, he felt exposed.Ms. Mirabel appeared from the kitchen, a look of surprise crossing her face when she noticed Richard standing there, drenched in sweat, looking guilty. The room felt tense for a moment, the silence thick as she crossed her arms."Hey, Richard. What are you doing here?" Ms. Mirabel asked, her tone a bit playful but with an edge of curiosity. "Oh, right, I told you to come over, but how did you get in? The door was locked when I left."Richard's throat tightened. He hadn’t thought about how to answer that. "I... I came in through the door," he said, his voice shaky. He wasn't used to lying, espe

Richard had been struggling with the weight of his friends' judgments, yet he tried to maintain his composure, believing better days were ahead. Despite the constant ridicule and whispers, he was determined to keep moving forward.When he left Ms. Mirabel's house, he was filled with a mixture of conflicting emotions. The events that had unfolded in her home had left him feeling a certain discomfort. He couldn’t quite shake the images of her changing clothes, nor the strange sense of vulnerability he’d felt being in her private space. Richard was determined to put all of that behind him, yet the memory lingered. He had tried so hard to stay composed in front of her, but now that he was alone, his thoughts were clouded."Thanks for helping today," Ms. Mirabel had said, her voice calm, even though Richard could sense there was more on her mind. She had always been considerate, always the one lecturer who seemed to care beyond the classroom. That was something he truly appreciated.As Rich

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

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.

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.

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.

When the meeting ended, Richard was given a tour of the company’s sleek, high-rise headquar

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
