Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 110

Wendy’s gaze shone with anxiety and heartbreak when she saw Casper dragging Felix into the cafeteria.

She turned to Silas and said, “I’m done. Let’s go.”

Silas, however, did not do as she requested.

“Why? Isn’t that your ex-boyfriend? Huh, he doesn’t seem to amount to much,” commented Silas.

Wendy turned a little pale. She didn’t want things to get that bad, but she had no choice.

Soon, Casper dragged Felix over.

Wendy wanted to leave immediately, but Silas grabbed her wrist and forced her to remain seated.

To others, however, it looked like the two of them were all lovey-dovey and were holding hands as they ate.

Felix’s eyes were practically burning with fury when he saw that.

“Hey! You’re Wendy’s ex-boyfriend, aren’t you? Well, she’s mine now, so please leave her alone. Got it?” demanded Silas as he glared at Felix and the others.

“Felix, we’ve already broken up. Why are you still here and looking for me?” asked Wendy, who spoke up as well.

The fury in Felix’s eyes instantly dissipated.

He knew that he had no right to be angry because Wendy was no longer his girlfriend.

“C-can I know why you left me?” asked Felix.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

His voice was trembling a little, and sorrow shone in his eyes.

Casper couldn’t bear seeing all that, but he had to stay back. Felix has to be the one who solves the issue.

Silas answered before Wendy could say a word.

“Why do you think? It’s because you’re a penniless sap! Do you honestly think that you are good enough for her?”

His words got everyone in the cafeteria to look over.

“Huh? Isn’t that Casper Simpson? He used to drop by all the time to chow down on the leftovers.”

“Hah, I knew it. Only the poor will be friends with each other. His girlfriend dumped him earlier because he was too poor. Now, it’s his friend’s turn to go through the same. Hahaha.”

Gossips and murmurs were endless.

Casper remained unfazed.

Wendy, however, turned teary. She broke free of Silas’ hold and ignored everyone before running out of the cafeteria on her own.

The droplets on the floor seemed to be her tears.

Silas saw how she ran off, but he didn’t do anything about it. I will definitely have this woman.

“Hey, penniless sap! I’ll be honest with you. My name is Silas Holt, and you can investigate all you want. The truth is that Wendy is my girlfriend now, so I will not show you any mercy if you keep badgering her,” warned Silas.

His voice echoed around the cafeteria. He was not from their school. Instead, he studied at another university.

After saying his piece, he left the cafeteria without hesitating. He got into the amazing BMW parked at the entrance and drove off.

He really is rich.

Felix was stunned. He saw how everyone was staring pitifully at him and was so ashamed that he wanted to hide away forever.

He didn’t say a word even after he returned to the dorm. Instead, he started playing video games.

Casper couldn’t stand watching from the side anymore.

“Think about it, Felix! Wendy ran off crying, so something must’ve forced her hand. Go talk to her in private and learn the truth behind everything. That is the only way I can help you!” said Casper.

He was so loud that he was practically shouting. His words got Felix to clear his mind, and the latter stopped wallowing in the loss of his love.

Felix was stunned because he realized that Casper could be right.

“D-do you think her hands are really tied in the matter?”

“Yes, definitely! Go talk to her now and make her confess. I will back you up.”

Felix thanked Casper after hearing those words. The former dashed out immediately after.

He’s probably off to see Wendy.

Casper and Colton turned to one another and sighed before shaking their heads.

“I honestly don’t know what the heck this is all about. They’re just girls. How did they get Felix and Remy in that state?” said Colton while sighing.

Casper wanted to refute, but he couldn’t find the right words.

His phone suddenly rang.

The screen told him that the call was from Amelia.

That was when Casper recalled that he made plans with Amelia that day.

He quickly answered the phone and said a few words before rushing to the lake near the school.

It was a secluded spot, so Casper saw Amelia even when he was some distance away.

She was sitting gracefully on the grass at the time and was enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake.

“Amelia, sorry about this. Something came up today,” apologized Casper when he got closer.

Amelia didn’t complain or say anything.

Casper happened to be hungry at the time, so he invited Amelia to eat together.

The two of them didn’t eat in the school’s cafeteria. Instead, they had their meal outside the campus.

Amelia seemed a little troubled about something.

“This doesn’t seem right,” said Amelia.

Casper had always been the one to foot the bill, and that made her feel bad.

Casper grinned nonchalantly and replied, “It’s nothing. I have some spare cash with me, and it’s just a meal.”

A happy smile showed up on Amelia’s face.

“By the way, my mom will be leaving the village and visiting me tomorrow. Will you go pick her up with me?”

Casper was quick to say yes when he saw how eager Amelia looked.

“Sure, no problem.”

After having a meal together, Casper walked her back to her dorm.

He also called Colton on the way over to ask if Felix had returned. Colton replied, “No, he hasn’t returned to the dorm.”

As suspected, Colton, who was resting on the bed, was the only one in the room when Casper returned.

Casper got his phone out to see if Giselle did a live stream. She didn’t.

Life’s miscellaneous tasks were no longer the only matters Casper needed to tend to at the time. He also needed to take care of his career.

Cloud Entertainment had no popular online streamers, and that was a problem to him. If he got Giselle to sign with him, he would garner a lot of fans.

He was strategizing about it when Felix barged into the room while puffing and panting. It was obvious that the latter had been running for a while.

“How did it go? What did Wendy say?” asked Casper hurriedly when he saw Felix.

“I learned the truth!” answered Felix before he drank some water and shared the story. Everything made sense to Casper and Colton after hearing the whole story.

In short, Wendy’s dad had leukemia and needed surgery, but they couldn’t afford it.

Silas showed up and kept courting Wendy during that period.

She rejected his advances, but he refused to back down.

One day, Wendy’s brother dropped by the school to tell her the bad news. Silas was there at the time and overheard the siblings talking, so he butted in.

He gave Wendy’s brother four hundred thousand.

Wendy’s father was fighting for his life and in dire need of money, and her brother was putting pressure on her, so she caved. The rest, as they said, was history.

Casper frowned after hearing what Felix said.

“Felix, do you want to be with Wendy again?”

“Yes!” replied Felix firmly.

“Then call her and have her invite Silas out. We’ll return all the money he gave her brother!” suggested Casper.

The light Felix’s gaze turned a little dimmer.

“B-but I don’t have the money.”

“I do,” replied Casper nonchalantly.

Felix didn’t respond to that. They were friends who shared the same room, and their friendship would change if money got involved.
