Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 49

“It must be that dreadful guy! He kept trying to steal my limelight. Ah, he is courting death!”

Hearing that Casper might be Mr. Simpson, Sawyer popped a vein and demanded, “Look for a chance to lure him out, and teach him a lesson.”

“Sawyer, I don’t think you have to see him again. You can get rid of him by getting someone else to do the dirty work for you,” Sax suggested while making a gesture to slit his throat. His eyes were burning with anger.

“I’ll leave this to you then. Remember not to leave any traces behind,” Sawyer ordered.

Then, he took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with hatred.

It did not take a genius to guess what Sax meant. Clearly, he wanted to teach Casper a lesson and make it clear that no one could mess with Sawyer.

“Sure, Sawyer. I will make sure I get things right.”

Sax flashed a grin before pulling out his phone to dial a number.

Of course, Casper did not know what was going on at that time. Otherwise, he would have fought against this baseless allegation.

Looking at the comments section, Casper was surprised to see that Mr. Pretentious was still going against Mr. Money. There were also many users cheering them on, and it was quite a scene.

At that moment, Giselle messaged him again. She mentioned that a website had contacted her recently. They wanted to organize a fan event for her and suggested that she sign up as a new internet celebrity. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

No doubt, Casper egged Giselle on to participate in the event. After all, it would be held online.

It would be a good opportunity since she could sing and interact with her fans as well.

Moments later, Giselle’s live broadcast ended. Casper switched off his mobile phone and lay down to rest. The corner of his lips curled upwards into a faint smile as he imagined Giselle’s beautiful features and that made his heart flutter.

Hearing Casper’s light chuckle from his bed, his other three dormmates exchanged looks before they turned to him with their eyes glinting with playfulness. They all thought that he was dreaming about a goddess and was fantasizing about her.

Time flew by in a blink of an eye, and it was a weekend. Felix had already made plans with Wendy to organize a gathering for those who lived in the dorm. To put it bluntly, they wanted everyone to interact with each other and create a small matchmaking session.

After waking up early in the morning, Felix saw Casper reading a book. With a smile on his face, he tapped on his shoulder and reminded, “Casper, Wendy has already asked the girls from her dorm out, so we have to put up a good show today. We still have two thirsty bachelors in our dorm waiting to get into a relationship.”

“Don’t worry, I will make sure Colton and Remy don’t go home empty-handed,” Casper joked.

Excited, he glanced at the two other boys and mocked, “Both of you better do a good job. I hope I don’t have to work too hard to make sure you win a girl each.”

If he could witness both of them getting a girlfriend, that would be the best. Anyway, it was arguably one of the major tasks to tick off one’s wishlist in university.

“I will definitely get a girl”, stated Remy confidently.

Turning to Colton, he added with a wry smile, “But I’m not too sure about Colton. Are you going to bring around Shakespeare’s Sonnets to try to court a girl?”

Immediately, Colton straightened his shirt and puffed out his chest. “Screw you! Why would I throw away my image like that?”

He had put a lot of thought into his outfit that day, and he looked like a gentleman.

Yet, none of his friends paid attention to him. Amused, Casper shook his head and chuckled.

“Casper, are you not going to give Lillian a call? You are allowed to bring a plus one to the gathering.”

While wiping down his leather shoes, Felix specifically reminded Casper. No matter what, he was determined to bring them together.

“No, it’s alright. She is busy today.”

On the other hand, Casper did not feel like inviting her out today. Thus, he came up with an excuse to appease Felix.

It was clear to him that if he continued to keep her around, they would only go to the point of no return. In the end, he might not be able to control himself. He would be in emotional distress while Lillian’s feelings would get hurt too.

Hence, Casper wanted to stop everything as there was no way he would allow anything like that to happen.

Under Felix’s arrangement, the people from their dorm began to head to the female dorm for the gathering.

From a distance away, Felix spotted a boy hanging around Lillian.

“Casper, I think that guy is bothering her again,” Remy cautioned Casper at once when he recognized Lilian with his sharp eyes.

“How can we let that happen? Who is trying to mess with her? Let’s go over and check it out.”

Felix’s eyes lit up, and he quickly dragged Casper in Lillian’s direction.

When they got slightly closer, the three boys pushed Casper forward in her direction.

“Casper, you should take care of it.”

The moment Lillian saw Casper, her frown turned into a wide smile. Like a child, she skipped over to him and held his hand affectionately.

“Tom, this is my boyfriend. I told you not to hang around me anymore, but you won’t listen. Now, are you happy that you have met him?”

Lillian shamelessly kept her grip on Casper’s arm without Casper’s consent. She pulled him closer to Tom and emphasized, “He is my boyfriend, and we even went to a hotel last night. When we graduate, he will be the person I will marry. Is that clear enough for you to back off?”

As soon as Casper heard those words, he froze. He felt as though a bolt of lightning had just struck him. When did I go to a hotel with her or sleep with her? Ah, I will never be able to come out clean.

Frantically, he turned his head and looked around. Realizing that Giselle was nowhere near him, he felt slightly relieved.

Even the grip on his arm felt less suffocating.

Meanwhile, the rest of the boys were startled. Did Casper lie to us last night when he said that he did not book a hotel room? What is going on?

“I’ll still like you even if you are no longer a virgin,” Tom professed.

Eyeing Casper from head to toe, he estimated that his rival was worth no more than a hundred. In a mocking tone, he boasted, “As long as you get together with me, I can buy you any branded items. Be it clothes, shoes, or bags, as long as you name it, I’ll get it for you. If you choose this poor bloke, what can you even get?”

Tom was another typical guy who judged others based on their appearance. Seeing Casper clad in cheap clothes, he immediately had an ego boost that he wanted to ridicule Casper.

By doing so, he thought he could impress Lillian. Needless to say, if she ended with Casper, he thought it would be an insult to her, like a flower stuck in cow dung.
