2024-04-18 01:20:05On arriving at his hostel,he discovered that everywhere was quiet and no one was left at home.He was surprised that they left for the class on time but when he tried to check his wrist watch he discovered that he had 10 minutes to make it to the class.
Mrs Harper class is a class no one dares to go late for because once she arrives before you you'll be left to wait outside the hall until she's done with the class.
Richard was very well aware of it and he hurriedly left his hostel for the class to see if you can still meet up with the class.He left with his bag and the bag containing the huge sum of money.
5 minutes later you're right at the classroom but he was still late when recharge got to the classroom entrance he felt the whole class staring at him
Mrs Harper was already in the classroom and as usual,Richard will not be allowed into the hall.
“Excuse me!” Richard called out as you stood by the door.
Mrs Harper have been focused on her teachings that she forget to notice
Mrs Harper stopped her teaching and turned to look at Richard.
“Do you have any idea what time it is now? Are you here to learn or to waste away your time”
“Come here, why are you still wearing your waiter's uniform? Are you here to serve us drinks or to take our orders” Mrs Harper ridiculed Richard.
She was aware that Richard worked as a waiter in a restaurant close to the school.It was a restaurant familiar to the students and the lecturers in the school.So everyone was aware that Richard worked as a waiter in the restaurant.
All the students in the class burst out laughing at Richard.
The two who laughed the loudest were Dominic and Jane.They were currently sitting in the last row of the classroom and flirting with each other.The sight of them made Richard feel bitter.That was because when Richard and Jane were still together,she had never sat with him before.
All of his classmate obviously knew about Jane dumping him
Richard was familiar with the Mrs Harperridicule.She will often ridicule him she usually look down on poor students like Richard but try to please the student from healthy families
“Get your miserable self out of my class this instant” Mrs Harpersaid furiously.
Richard had to stay outside the class while Mrs Harpertaught the whole class.He felt very bittered about this as he had made an effort to meet up with the class.
After Mrs Harperwas done teaching she walked towards the door and turned attention to Richard and gave him a stern warning not to come late for her class again or else he would have to repeat her class the next semester.
Richard entered the class after Mrs Harper left.
“Richard, are you alright?” Richard's roommate,Charles, asked after meeting him.
“I'm fine,” Richard replied.
“Where have you been all this while? I have really been worried about you.I have looked everywhere for you but no trace of you could be found”
“It's a long story, Charles but I'm good now,” Richard replied.
“Why were you late?By the way,I heard that you and Jane are no longer together”.
“Oliver, don't bring up something like that,” Charles said with annoyance.
Charles and Oliver often helped Richard in school and Richard was always indebted to them.
Charles and Oliver assumed Richard was in a bad mood, so they did not disturb him further.
The attention of everyone in the class was drawn to a girl who was probably in her early 20s. She was pretty and had a nice figure. Her legs were fair and long. She had a pink short dress and a pair of office shoes which made her look very attractive and beautiful. She was Christabel Wood, the class representative.
Christabel was very kind and innocent. Unlike other girls in a class that looked down on Richard for being Poor.Christabel had never looked down on Richard instead she had looked for ways to help Richard many times.
She had announced that the lecturer that was supposed to take the next class was not around so the class has been canceled.
“We can now have our get-together as a class.Let's do lunch together? ''Christabel said enthusiastically.
The whole class had been anticipating another class get-together.They had really enjoyed the last one they had.
At that moment, Charles ran to Richard and place his hands over Richard shoulder and said “Richard come join us today it's been a while since you join us for a class get together”.
“Charles why inviting that pauper how could he have the money to attend the get together” a girl on a black skirt yelled out.
Richard could not help but lift his head to look at the girl.She was Natasha Bryan,Jane best friend and roommate.
Natasha looked down Richard and often bullied him.A huge part of the reason behind Jane dumping Richard and choosing to be with Dominic was due to Natasha's instigation.
“Exactly how can a pauper like Richard afford to go to a lunch party?”Jane other friend,Isabella John added with sarcasm.

“Natasha,Isabella, what are the two of you talking about?” Charles yelled furiously.“Was I wrong,will this penniless waiter have the money to join the lunch party?”“We have so many parties together as a class but have you ever seen him join one”Natasha responded while rolling her eyes.“I'll pay for Richard if it doesn't have the money.Is it really necessary for all of you to humiliate him like this?” said Oliver who step forward. He could not stand them anymore.“Hey Oliver,since you are so wealthy why don't you pay for me as well?”Dominic shouted with a poker face after he and heard what Oliver said.Oliver turned to glance at Dominic. A hint of uncertainty flashed across its eyes.Even though Oliver's family was doing quite well,his family's wealth was nothing compared to Dominic who was from the Prestigious Prescott family therefore he could only shut up.“I'll pay for Richard. We are all classmate.Was all of these necessary?”Christabel yelled with a frown.She could not stand th

It wasn't long, they arrived at the most famous restaurant in Willowbrook,Seven Star restaurant.The moment Richard classmate entered seven star restaurant,their eyes were wide in astonishment.Even though many in WillowbrookUniversity were from wealthy family,it did not mean that all students were very wealthy.There were student from average income families who had never been to a place like that.Meanwhile,Charles and Oliver were trailing behind Richard with anxious expressions.“Richard do you really have enough money to treat everyone to a meal?” Oliver hesitated before whispering to Richard.“Don't worry.Since I dared to come, I must have the money to foot the bill,Richard responded calmly.

Everyone started eating at once after all food was served.They did not care if Richard and Dominic could pay but they just enjoy themselves as long as you were not the ones who would pay for it.Jane was sitting next to Dominic.Her expression was awful as she knew that Dominic could not afford to pay for today's meal.Even if Richard could pay for it,he will probably have to spend all his savings.Was it worth spending all his savings just to save face?Thinking about it,Jane looked at Richard with even more disdain.She felt that Richard should not have competed with a rich kid like Dominic.Even if he won this time, it would not change the fact that he was a poor guy.One hours into the feast,everyone had their fill.They all looked at Richard and Dominic starting to worry that they would not have the money to settle the bill.

As soon as Richard stepped out of the private dining room, Charles, Oliver, and Christabel exchanged glances before hurrying after him. The restaurant’s dim, luxurious lighting cast soft shadows on their faces as they weaved through the tables, determined to catch up.“Hey, Richard! Wait up!” Charles called, quickening his pace. His voice carried through the upscale restaurant, causing a few patrons to glance their way.Richard slowed down but didn’t stop entirely. When he finally turned around, there was a faint, almost unreadable smile on his face. “What’s going on?” he asked casually.Charles, slightly out of breath from the short jog, didn’t waste any time. “Where did you get that kind of money?” His voice was laced with both curiosity and concern. “Is this because Jane dumped you? Be honest with us.”His brows furrowed as he studied Richard’s expression, trying to read between the lines. He had known Richard for years, and this sudden change didn’t sit right with him.Richard let

Earlier, Christabel had casually suggested that Richard use his newfound wealth to take better care of himself. Her words stuck with him. It wasn’t just about spending money—it was about transformation. For the longest time, Richard had worn the same worn-out clothes, not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice. His old outfits had become a reflection of his financial struggles, a constant reminder of the life he had endured before everything changed. Now, with money no longer being an issue, there was no reason to continue looking like the same struggling man. The first step had been upgrading his phone. He had just walked out of the Apple Store, holding a brand-new iPhone 14 Pro Max—a purchase that once would have been nothing more than a distant dream. But as he glanced down at himself, he realized that a high-end phone alone wasn’t enough to redefine him. He needed a wardrobe that matched his new reality. As he continued walking, his eyes landed on a towering b

The security guard stood frozen, his expression shifting from defiance to regret. Just moments ago, he had dismissed Richard as a nobody—someone unworthy of entering the prestigious Crystal Spring Mall. But now, he realized his mistake. “Sir… please, you may enter the mall now,” the security guard stammered, his voice laced with nervousness. Richard arched an eyebrow at the sudden change in attitude. What brought this about? He hadn’t even said anything yet. Then, it clicked—James. James must have contacted the mall’s management, and the impact had been immediate. The security guard swallowed hard. “Sir, is there anything I can do for you?” he asked, his voice almost pleading. It was clear he was desperate to get back into Richard’s good graces. He understood now—Richard wasn’t just anyone. For him to have the influence to reach the mall manager directly, he must be someone powerful. The security guard feared the consequences of offending such a person, especially when his job wa

The manager walked briskly through the lavish interior of Crystal Spring Mall, his expression unreadable as he approached the crowd that had gathered around an ongoing commotion. He had already been briefed about what had happened—how a young man named Richard had been humiliated and denied entry into the mall. But as he finally laid eyes on Richard, he immediately recognized him. The new chairman of the Morgan Empire. A man far more powerful than anyone in this entire mall. Yet, no one else knew it. The manager instinctively knew that he couldn’t reveal Richard’s true identity here, not in front of everyone. Only the top executives in the Morgan Empire’s network of businesses were aware that Richard had recently taken over. Still, the sight before him deeply unsettled him. He had expected Richard to be welcomed with the highest form of respect, yet here he was—mocked, insulted, and even denied service in a mall that belonged to his own empire. This wasn’t just an issue—it was

Richard was escorted out of the mall by James and the heavily built men who had arrived with him. Their movements were smooth, calculated, and protective, making it clear they were trained professionals. As Richard walked beside them, his mind was still processing everything that had happened inside the Crystal Spring Mall. “I didn’t expect to see you here, James,” Richard said, genuinely surprised. He had assumed James would handle the situation over the phone, not that he would personally show up in full force. “I had to come the moment you told me you weren’t allowed into the mall,” James replied, his tone firm. Richard gave a small chuckle. “It wasn’t really a big deal. You shouldn’t have troubled yourself to come all the way here. But…” He smiled warmly. “I still appreciate it.” James glanced at Richard with a knowing look. “You may think it wasn’t a big deal, but disrespect toward you is not something we take lightly.” Richard nodded in understanding. James adjusted his s

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

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.

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

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

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
