WISH TO BE RICH DEAL?
"What?! What happened?" Carly questioned with shock written all over her face."You know what happened so shut the hell up and get out of here. I can't believe you want to interview the loser for your blog. What it feels like to bare the same last name as a prestigious family while being the adoptive son of Mr. Rose Dana, my ass! I am from a prestigious family, I'm the student Union president and also an adoptive son of Mr. Rose Dana but you never once wanted to interview me!" Jack complained then stopped when they got to the door."What? Is that what you're angry about? If you wanted to be interviewed then all you had to do is say it" Carly said after he had forced her out the door and once facing each other, Jack sneered at her."That's the thing, I'm Jack Silver and because of who I am, I don't have to ask. You should have begged me for the interview but you've lost your chance. Also, I don't ever want to see you in this apartment again or anywhere near that bastard or I'll make su
WISH TO BE RICH FAMILIAR ROADS
Carly was silent for a moment as she gazed at Johnathan and in the end, she sighed "Alright, I'll see what I can do"Johnathan smiled "Thank you.""Yeah" she replied exhaustedly"Alright get in and I'll take you to your dorm. I'm already late for Dr. Willstrum's lecture as is and I don't want to be more late" Johnathan said and the two entered the car.Normally, he would take it upon himself to open the door for a lady, however, because Carly was still lying to him about the person who handles the Blog's social media page, which he had a very strong feeling was her, he didn't feel the need to be courteous.He felt like she was the one who runs the account because when she talked about the post with him and Shirley, there was a level of pride in her expression like she was the one who reposted the original post. As such, for her to say she has no idea who runs the account doesn't really match up.Regardless of that, he wasn't going to tell her that he knows the truth. He would rather h
WISH TO BE RICH TWO SISTERS
"Here's my number. Call me later so I'll have yours then we can keep in touch. Before you say anything, I'm sure you'd need to get in touch with me if you want to cancel our interview if I don't fall through with my side of the deal, right?" Carly said as she tried handing the piece of paper with her number on it to Johnathan."Not really, I can check your blog's social media page and see if you failed to do your part of the deal or not. It shouldn't take that long to speak to the supposed mystery person who you said runs the account and it'll take less time for them to take the post down so if I check it every day for a week straight then I'll know what the fate of the interview is" Johnathan said then unbuckled her seatbelt."Please go down. I have to leave" he said softly this time and she sighed."Alright, fine but I'm leaving this for you. Do what you want with it but please call me. There might be something else I can interest you in other than the interview, you'll never know"
WISH TO BE RICH PROFESSOR
Johnathan went straight into the lecture building, speed walking toward his class and in his hand was the tablet he got from the apartment which was the only item he needed for Dr. Willstrum's class.Halfway there, he decided to check the time on his wristwatch and then saw that he was more than thirty minutes late for the class and so he decided to relax and walk normally. He was already this late so what's the point of walking extremely fast when the only difference that makes from waking normally is that he's a minute to two less late? In Dr. Willstrum's eyes, being one minute late or an hour late to his lecture is basically the same thing and so Johnathan relaxed which was the best decision he could have made.If he had continued with the pace he was going when he entered the lecture building then he would have entered the class in a chaotic and disorganized manner. However, his current pace was the best and he would calmly enter the class.It would even be easier to deal with D
WISH TO BE RICH FOLLOW REQUEST
His face quickly changed to an angry and disgusted one as he clenched his fists and turned to the two on their way out.Johnathan started remembering his discussions with Abraham back when he was still in the hospital. Specifically, about the suspects in what happened with his family all those years ago and Professor Bronze Lennon was right at the very top with the previous Vice Chancellor of Wellstone."What did he just say?" With his blood boiling, Johnathan asked himself while he watched those two walk into a different passage and disappear from his sight.What he didn't notice is that the assistant of Professor Lennon took a glance at him and saw how angry he looked and she grunted in curiosity."The woman I resemble, that's mom isn't it?" Johnathan asked himself as he touched his face and remembered when his grandmother told him about how much he resembled his mother.The lack of answers filled him with even more rage and so Johnathan took out his frustration by punching the wall
WISH TO BE RICH RECOLLECTION OF THE PAST
Johnathan had put his Bubble social media account on private during the date with Rachael and Chris and he set the app not to send notifications when connected to the internet either."Follow request? How did she know I had an account?" Johnathan asked himself then brought out his phone to check his profile.The moment he opened the app he was greeted with the pop-up that lets someone know when they have a new follower. The number he saw was shocking for someone with a private account. What he saw was something in the thousands and he couldn't understand how."What the hell? I thought this was private so how on earth did this many people find this account—? Oh," Johnathan said to himself then remembered the issue he faced while creating his username in the first place.A certain number of people had created fake accounts of him which got thousands of followers, female followers especially, which meant that the students of Wellstone were searching for his name to follow but were getti
WISH TO BE RICH WAIT
She quickly turned to Johnathan to apologize for what she and her friends had done but instead saw Johnathan squeeze the paper of her asking him to accept her follow request and him throwing it to the side.She was devastated when she saw him do that and she wanted to plead but Johnathan who could care less smacked his tongue.He was done talking and so he flicked his eyes to the board but then froze for a moment and then started acting like he was paying attention to what was being taught."Hey, Johnathan" the pretty girl called out to him in a very low voice.Johnathan flicked his eyes to her then discretely pointed at the whiteboard with his pen which made her wonder why he was doing that.Just then, she felt a little pinch on her thigh from her friend beside her which is something that annoyed her. She felt like this friend was trying to distract her from getting across to Johnathan."What is it?!" The pretty girl hurriedly turned to her friend and asked angrily.The friend who pin
WISH TO BE RICH VOICE MESSAGE
Johnathan waited behind the wall for a couple of minutes, tapping his feet on the ground and whistling the melodies of songs he could remember. He did this to pass the time and distract himself from how long he's been waiting and would have to wait for Dr. Willstrum.Not long after, just as he planned, Dr. Willstrum came out of the office building and when Johnathan looked closer he saw that his Course Advisor and lecturer wore a look that shows he was ready to leave the premises.From the look of things, Dr. Willstrum was done with what he came to his office for and at the moment didn't have anything else to do there. As such, he got into his car and drove off.Once the car had turned around and was driving away, Johnathan came out of hiding. He watched the back of Dr. Willstrum's car driving into the horizon until it completely vanished from his sight."Good, he's gone," Johnathan said to himself then looked at the entrance of the building with a prepared expression."It's finally t

The paramedic who had the syringe in his hand paused, jaw dropped, leaning back and filled with utter confusion.Anthony who was seeing all of this instantly got a look of disgust aimed at Franklin and what he just did."What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do that, take away the only thing that’s saving your life right now?!" Anthony asked while he grimaced.He pulled himself away from Franklin and then with the anger still in him but now also mixed with a state of confusion, he pushed a weakened Franklin to the ground."Just what the hell do you want from me?!" Anthony yelled in an exasperated manner, looking down at Franklin who was holding on to his neck and trying to breathe in as much air as he possibly could.Contrary to being the one who had inflicted pain on everyone else, physically or otherwise, Anthony looked like he was in more agony than anyone else, huffing and trying to find a way to get calm."Alright you fool, that's enough from you.

Chaos ran wild as many of the patients in the main entrance of The Meteor Garden hospital scattered for either their safety or as a knee-jerk response to Anthony and Franklin.Some were patients with high sensitivity like epilepsy, autism, or Tourette so the sudden act of violence was enough to trigger them.Being among the few staff there and a proactive one at that, the nurse behind the counter hurriedly grabbed the landline and put out a call."Can we get some medics over here in the main area, right now?! We need as much help as possible with handling the patients and also to put a stop to a visitor who's gone crazy!" she yelled into the mouthpiece then slammed the landline back on itself.The nurses were able to get to the more mentally balanced patients who only fell to the floor while trying to move away from Anthony and Franklin.As for those currently going crazy, they needed more serious help from the paramedics who were able-bodied enough to appropriately handle the situati

["Hello? Who is this?"] Finally, after three attempts his call was answered."This is Anthony, Mr's Faller. I was just calling to see how Samuel was doing" he sat in the bed with his shoes off but still had his casino dealer outfit on.["Umm, he's fine. It's already way past his bedtime so he should be in bed sleeping. Is anything the matter?"]After hearing this, Anthony second-guessed himself on if Samuel was okay or not.Anthony thought that he might just be worrying for nothing. "It's nothing, I just wanted to call since it's been a while since I last did, that's all" he smiled["It has been a minute since you called but honestly I can't blame you, not when you and my husband have something so serious like Ama— Oh, sorry I mentioned that"] she covered her mouth.Anthony chuckled as a way to lighten the mood "You don't have to be ma, I also know how this has shaken your family so don't hold yourself on my account. I'll be just fine" he smiled["I'm glad to hear that and you make su

'The features, the resemblance, it's all so uncanny' Even in the intensity of the reproach, a conflicting thought lingered in Franklin's mind as he stared at Anthony.Anthony's face didn't undergo any negative changes after being accused, he remained as unfazed and stoic as ever "What are you talking about Sir, cheating in what game?""Don't play dumb with me kid, the others may have been too distracted to notice but I had my eyes on you the entire time and I know sleight of hand when I see it. Nothing can escape these trained eyes of mine" Franklin said."Okay sir, sounds like you're talking about a magic show you must have gone to. Sleight of hand? How does that have anything to do with me, a simple part-timer?" Anthony scrunched his eyebrows, tilting his head to the left."Why you!" Franklin exclaimed, smacking his tongue afterward.'Who is this kid? He couldn't be him could he?' Franklin's glare became even more intense and with that, it was evident that he wasn't going to back do

Since the beginning, the manager had had his head bowed ever so slightly that it looked like he had a slouch but in truth, he didn't ("Oh, one last thing. Always remember to lower your head when in the presence of these guests.") The manager told Anthony during the interview but Anthony responded with silence at the time.The manager took that as compliance but he was wrong as he has been glaring at Anthony but Anthony wasn't lowering his head to the guests. Instead, he was looking them straight in the eyes.Angry at Anthony, the manager wanted to address the topic but couldn't in their presence so he would have to remain quiet about it until they leave.However, what he didn't expect was that both VIPs didn't seem bothered about Anthony not acting overly subservient around them. They were even more accepting of him than the manager had calculated, especially from the man on the left."So how did you get so skilled in cards kid? You also gamble a lot?" Asked the VIP on the left, puffi

"Ah! I caught you!" Exclaimed a panting voiceSeeing Samuel getting shoved and falling towards the street, Anthony screamed out his name, reflexively reaching out with one of his hands even though the distance between them was too great that he wouldn't even be able to do anything.The driver of the incoming truck panicked and smashed the brakes as hard as he could.Unfortunately, the distance between them was so small that their impact was certain, but still, he tried. The truck's tires skid forward, about to hit Samuel while at the other side of the road Anthony watched, unable to do anything.Suddenly, his eyes flicked to a few meters behind Samuel where he saw a man, an aged man in a carton brown pants suit, reaching out for Samuel.Everything happened so fast that before Anthony knew it the aged man had grabbed onto Samuel's wrist, then pulled the preteen towards himself.*VROOM*The truck passed, nobody was hit and the person on the passenger seat, whose heart felt like it was

Outside the Grand Blue Restaurant, Anthony brought out the ID card to stare at it, about to make a left turn into the next road."Who could have thought that this tiny thing would mean the difference between being jobless and under the control of my f*cking in-laws and now having part-time jobs in three different locations? I could have gotten my share of her hospital bills already if I had just done this since day one" he mumbled, finally turning the corner He scoffed "I guess it all happened for a reason because I wouldn't be trying to regain my power if I ha—" out of nowhere, a kid ran into him and fell to the ground."Ouch, my butt!" The kid complained, wincing and rubbing his butt "Why don't you watch where you're walking Mr." The kid yelled, not even looking up to see who he was talking to"Huh? What the hell did you just say to me you stupid brat?!" Anthony was furious, glaring at the kid who finally looked up at him and saw who he had just run into.Instantly he shriveled, sm

He picked up his ID card, not caring about what she had going on beside him."Okay, good luck with that" he started heading for the exit but…"Good thing you said that because you're the one who's gonna need it" she smirked and he stopped with his hand on the knob, turning around to face her."What's that supposed to mean?!" He asked with a frown, sensing that what she said was a threat.She got up, walked back to her seat, and sat down without any restraint that it almost broke the spring in the seat.She continued stuffing her mouth with her food while glaring evilly at Anthony."What did you mean by t—" he asked again but then she interrupted him."Since you're looking to work for a restaurant of this level, you should also know that there are benefits or I should say, connections, that being the manager has presented me with. Businessmen, lawyers, doctors, politicians, Mobsters, and even families in the Hierarchy all pay a whopping amount of money just to reserve seats around my t
