Becoming the Richest Man Alive
Chapter 47

Chapter 47

It was a pity that there was no medicine for regret, and Jack could only swallow this bitter reality he hadcreated.

Displeased with the situation, the dean immediately called the security guards over. Then, he pressedon Jack’s shoulder to force him to kneel and threatened to fire him if he did not greet Casperaccordingly.

Jack had no other choice since it was no easy feat for him to get a job at the school in the first place.Additionally, considering how bad the current job market was, it would be difficult for him to replace a newjob. As such, he could only glare at Casper resentfully and oblige by calling him ‘sir’.

“You are quite something. If I were you, I would watch my back in future!” Charlie spat.

Humiliated, he could not continue staying in the classroom anymore. After dropping that petty line, heturned and stormed out.

“There will come a day where you will have to kneel and plead with me,” Casper hissed as he watchedCharlie disappearing from his sight.

After being humiliated by Charlie, it became an event that Casper would never forget, even if he hadtaken revenge.

Startled, Charlie stopped in his tracks momentarily before he picked up his pace and slammed the doorshut.

With him gone, Casper pulled out his card and swiped for another six hundred thousand. Which meantthat his total donation was now a million. Although it was much lesser than the reward he had givenGiselle previously, it was just as rewarding since he emerged as the winner.

Afterward, Casper returned to his seat to lay on his head on the desk.

It took some time for him to cool off, but even then, he did not feel as happy as he expected to be. Onthe contrary, he felt disappointed and lost instead.

Despite enduring so much and finally getting his hands on such a large amount of cash, he still felt aheavyweight in his chest.

It might be easy to squander a billion, but it did not necessarily bring people joy.

Meanwhile, there was a commotion in class, particularly among the female students. They were alllooking at Casper in admiration while feeling a sense of regret for looking down on him previously.

Unfortunately, there was no way to change it.

Shortly after, a sickeningly sweet voice sounded beside Casper’s ear, “My dear Casper, I was teasingyou on purpose the last time. Could you forgive me for making such a silly joke? Let’s get backtogether, shall we?”

Looking up, he realized that it was Kitty who unexpectedly appeared in the seat beside him. She waseven hugging his arm while giving him an affectionate look.

“Scram! Go as far as you can,” Casper growled in annoyance.

His past self would probably feel honoured that she was acting like that to him. Yet, her act only madehim disgusted by her now, and he had goosebumps all over his body.

Coincidentally, the bell sounded to signal that the evening self-study session was over. Shaking Kitty’sgrip off, Casper turned to Felix and the rest and said, “Let’s go.”

“Casper, what is this supposed to mean? How could you blame me for what happened when you werethe one who disguised to be poor first to test me? I will make sure you regret this!” Kitty yelled atCasper, dropping the innocent act that she had been putting up.

Frustrated, she marched out of the classroom.

Casper sighed. Why did I fancy a gold digger like her who only eyed the rich?

Luckily, she chose to be with Charlie. Otherwise, I would have been cheated on multiple occasions.

Gigi is still the best! Casper comforted himself with that thought.

Inside the campus, the orange rays from the sunset shone on the concrete pavements, outlining thesilhouette of the trees. There were also bursts of cool air from the breeze. At that time, couples weretaking advantage of those dimly lit areas to share intimate moments.

Casper, Felix, Remy, and Colton walked through the campus in a straight line. They kept silentthroughout the whole journey, as though they were merely accompanying each other on a walk.

“Do the three of you want to ask me something?”

Glancing at the other three boys, Casper slowed down and broke the silence.

Felix exchanged looks with Remy and Colton before finally replying, “Casper, we hope that you willnever end up like Charlie. If such a day does come, we will cut our ties with you.”

That two sentences sent a chill down Casper’s spine.

He could finally comprehend why he did not gain any joy even after using money to retaliate againstJack and Charlie.

The reason for his disappointment was because he lost himself in that enormous wealth.

Recently, he had been using money to solve all his problems instead of using his wisdom. Though hemight be able to do that now, all the money was bound to run out one day.

Should he continued to waste his money the way he did, he would not be able to keep to his promise tosucceed within a year, and he might even end up penniless too.

“Thanks for pointing that out, guys. I admit that I lost my mind there today. Regardless, please be restassured that I will stay true to my original intentions from now onwards. We are still pals!” Casperassured while nodding his head solemnly.

In response, Felix, Remy and Colton held Casper’s hand tightly and chanted, “Yes, we are for life!”

Three of them each gave two hundred to Casper initially. While Casper thought of returning the moneyto them, he subsequently decided otherwise and treated it as though the three of them had invested inhis shares too. After all, they were not hard up on cash.

However, they looked at each other helplessly with bitter smiles on their faces. It was clear that Casperwanted to help them out. Initially, they planned to reject his offer, but Casper had gleefully made thatdecision on their behalf.

To him, you can only make more cash with cash in the first place because there were no free lunchesin the world.

It would be all but a dream to stumble on a mountain of gold one day. If he wanted to be rich, he had toput in some hard work.

Casper did not turn on his phone to check if Giselle was live streaming while lying in bed for the firsttime. Instead, he rested his head on both his hands while contemplating his recent actions. He knewthat by using money in front of all his classmates to solve his problems, he had mirrored what anignorant person like Charlie would do.

Rolling to one side, he pulled out the agreement and stared at it. I have been splurging too much thesedays, and it has to stop. Maybe I should change my lifestyle. Rather than blowing my money away, I

should take on the challenge and worked hard on my career.
