Derrick’s face went pale. Greg and Tom looked at each other in confusion. Richard took another step forward, forcing Derrick to instinctively take a step back. “So before you start making trouble for people who have done nothing to you, maybe you should worry about your own problems. Because trust me… if I know, others do too.” For the first time, Derrick had no words. His jaw tightened, fists clenched, but he knew he had been caught off guard. “Let’s go,” he muttered to his friends, turning away abruptly. Greg and Tom hesitated before following, clearly rattled by what had just happened. Oliver and Charles stared at Richard in disbelief. “Richard… what was that?” Charles asked. Richard simply smiled, picking up the last piece of chicken. “Just a simple conversation.” Oliver shook his head, still stunned. “How did you know about Derrick’s father?” Richard shrugged. “I have my ways.” The two friends exchanged glances but didn’t press further. They knew something about Richard w

The next day, Richard woke up before dawn, the first rays of sunlight barely beginning to filter through the curtains. His friends were still lost in sleep, unaware that the day ahead was not going to be the same for him. It was a free day for them—an opportunity to rest, but for Richard, it was something different. Today, he had planned to visit his grandfather, a journey he had been putting off for too long.Richard knew he had to leave quietly, so he wouldn't disturb his friends. As he reached for the door, his heart skipped a beat. The old wooden door creaked loudly, breaking the stillness of the early morning. The sound seemed to echo through the house, sharper than any whisper. It was enough to stir his friends from their slumber.Charles, ever the light sleeper, was the first to react. He shifted in bed, his eyes snapping open at the slightest noise. Richard watched, hoping he wouldn’t be noticed, but it was too late. Charles' gaze flicked to the door, his mind instantly piecing
The unexpected student billionaire Chapter Twenty Eight
Richard understood what he was supposed to do now. His grandfather had given him a task that, though daunting, was necessary. He had to use his free time to visit some of his grandfather’s companies and observe firsthand how they operated. He wasn’t just the heir to a massive fortune—he was expected to understand the intricate workings of the businesses that made up the Morgan Empire. It was a heavy responsibility, and Richard knew that sooner or later, he would have to take charge.But for now, he could enjoy the moment. The meal his grandfather had prepared for him was exquisite—rich and comforting, like the bond they shared. Richard had savored every bite, his grandfather’s joy in feeding him clear in his eyes. They didn’t get to spend much time together anymore, and this rare meal, this rare moment of peace, made Richard feel truly grateful. It wasn’t often that he felt like he belonged somewhere, but with his grandfather, it was different. There was a warmth, an unspoken understan

When Richard arrived home, a wave of silence greeted him. His eyes quickly scanned the room as he realized that his roommates, Charles and Oliver, were nowhere to be found. A slight frown crossed his face as curiosity took hold. They were usually around, especially in the evening, but for some reason, the place was unusually quiet. He shrugged off the initial worry that gripped his chest. "They’ll be alright," he reassured himself, though a small seed of concern lingered in the back of his mind.The first thing he noticed was the state of the house—untidy, scattered clothes and belongings everywhere. Richard wasn’t one to leave things in disarray, and the sight of their neglected space tugged at his sense of order. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for the task ahead. With a quiet determination, he grabbed the broom and started sweeping the floor, the rhythmic movement of the bristles against the wood offering him a strange sort of calm. He mopped the floor thoroughly, ensuring e

Richard stood in the queue at the Sovereign Chicken Republic, his thoughts swirling as his classmates continued to mock him. He could feel their eyes on him, the judgment, the ridicule. Yet, he kept his focus, determined not to let them get under his skin. He had been through too much already to let their words break him.Dominic had just finished ordering his meal, and Richard could feel the weight of their stares growing heavier as they waited for him to fail. They were all expecting him to walk away empty-handed, a victim of his own circumstances. They thought he was here to embarrass himself, to pretend he could afford such luxuries. But Richard had a secret they didn’t know—he wasn’t just any waiter anymore.“I don't think there's any need for you to disgrace yourself,” Natasha said with a cold laugh. “We already know you can’t afford this place. It would be better to just go to the manager, apologize, and ask for the job you came here for.”The mockery rang out, cruel and sharp.

Charles and Oliver quickly rushed forward, concerned and confused about Richard’s decision to place such an expensive order. They couldn’t help but wonder if Richard truly had the means to spend so much on a mere chicken."Do you really have that much to spend on a chicken?" Oliver asked, his voice laced with curiosity and disbelief.Richard, who had earlier assured them that there was no need to worry about him, remained calm. He didn’t feel the need to respond to their questions. Instead, he simply gave them a warm smile, one that showed he wasn’t bothered by their doubts. His composure suggested that he was confident, unaffected by their skepticism.“Don’t listen to him,” Dominic sneered from the back. “We all know he’s just a regular waiter. There’s no way he can afford to spend that kind of money on chicken.”The cashier, still processing the situation, glanced at Richard. She too was unsure. At first glance, he didn’t look like someone who could afford to make such an extravagant

The manager, realizing the severity of the situation, knew he had to act quickly. Richard was no ordinary customer, and the mistake made by the cashier was a serious one. The manager couldn’t afford to lose such an influential client, especially to a rival establishment.Turning towards the cashier, his expression was stern. The anger in his eyes was unmistakable as he addressed her.“So, you decided to turn down this notable customer without even trying his card? You didn't even give it a chance before dismissing him. This is not how we operate here,” the manager said, his voice steady but firm.The cashier, feeling the weight of his words, hesitated before answering. “I thought it wasn’t necessary to try the card, sir. It seemed like it was clearly not in use. He was just trying to waste our time.”The manager shook his head, disappointment evident in his demeanor. He had always prided himself on the reputation of the establishment, and he couldn’t allow such mistakes to tarnish that

The next morning, Richard had already woken up early, far earlier than usual. He was the first to rise, which was a drastic change from his usual routine. It was always Charles or Oliver who had to drag him out of bed, but this time, Richard took the initiative. He even woke Charles and Oliver up.Charles rubbed his eyes groggily as he sat up, clearly surprised to see Richard already dressed and ready for the day."What's gotten into you, Richard? You’re never the first one up," Charles asked, his voice thick with sleep as he tried to shake off the confusion.Richard smiled and shrugged. "I guess I woke up earlier than usual today. Decided to make use of the extra time and get ready for school."Charles blinked at him, still trying to process the shift in his friend's behavior. "Well, look at that. It seems you're learning from us after all. If you keep this up, you might just become one of the top students soon."Oliver, who had been waking up with much less enthusiasm than Charles, o

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
