Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 227

“Casper, have you seen the news today?” Felix shouted the moment he stepped foot into the dorm. Casper feigned ignorance, even though he knew what his roommate was referring to.

“What made you so excited?”

“Haven’t you heard? A guy named Hanson exposed himself as a total scumbag. It’s the juiciest piece of gossip on the internet right now. All of his creative contents are fake. Not only that, he even cheated on his girlfriend and accused her of cheating on him. What a douchebag.”

Felix looked furious as he spoke, while Casper secretly praised the media for doing an excellent job in exposing Hanson’s true colors.

The Adler sisters are at risk too. If Sawyer follows Hanson’s trail, he would know Sharon and I are in this together. Although I have dirt on him, I must prepare for her and Sheryl to leave at a moment’s notice so he wouldn’t use them against me. The thought suddenly occurred to Casper.

He knew he was overthinking things, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Casper patted Felix’s shoulder and said, “It’s karma. He thought he could get away with it, and now he got what he deserves.”

“You’re right. A good conscience is a soft pillow.”

Looks like I did the right thing.

Casper gave Alex a call when he thought enough attention was gathered on the web. “You did a good job. Tiana will send you the money soon. I’d like to meet up with you when you’re free.”

Alex replied in a flattering tone, “This is nothing. Please let us know if you need us again in the future. We’re just a call away with services, including clearing one’s name and smearing one’s reputation. We

also have keyboard warriors and internet celebrities working for us. Anything is possible as long as you can afford it.”

“Sure… I’ll know who to call for these kinds of things.”

Another call came in immediately after they hung up. Casper took a look at the caller ID and hastily walked out of the dorm.

“Casper is so busy these days. Looks like there are downsides to being rich as well.” Felix sighed.

“B*llshit. You would be thrilled if you were that rich.” Colton earned a vicious glare from him with that sarcastic remark.

“What do you know? I rejected the idea of being rich because I’ve seen the downsides of it.”

“Then you would have thrown caution into the wind if you have seen the benefits of being rich.”

While they were bickering, Casper was somewhere else on the campus. Giselle had called to meet up with him.

“So… this is a date, right?”

He had butterflies in his stomach while waiting for her arrival. Their relationship had escalated since that fateful night.

“You’re here.” Giselle blushed the moment she saw Casper and handed him a basket. The smell of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air. He took it from her, lifted the towel on the basket, and saw they were animal-shaped cookies.

“I’m not a very good cook like you, so I learned how to bake these cookies from the internet. Please excuse me if it doesn’t taste good.”

“It’s fine. I’m sure they’re delicious.”

Casper took a bite. Her cookies tasted mediocre. However, he thought it was superb since she had put her heart and soul into baking these cookies.

“This is perfect!”

He shoved a handful into his mouth, puffing his cheeks like a chipmunk.

“Aren’t you exaggerating?” Giselle giggled at his funny antics.

“Nope. These cookies are out of this world.”

She punched him lightly. “Stop it.”

The other students were dumbfounded by what they saw. Isn’t she the prettiest woman in school? Why is she hanging around someone like him and being so shy?

“I’m not hallucinating, am I? Ms. Clauder is acting all lovey-dovey and coy with this shabbily dressed man. D*mn it. Just who does he think he is? His shirt and pants don’t even add up to a hundred.”

“I know him. He’s Casper, a pauper who eats the leftovers. But I think he just made a fortune because he donated one million during the charity dinner.”

“So what if he did? There are lots of millionaires in this school. He has nothing on him aside from being handsome.”

These rumors soon reached Giselle and Casper. Even though he didn’t mind it, he felt embarrassed since Giselle was involved.

“Gi… Ms. Clauder, let’s go somewhere else.” Casper picked up the basket and was about to leave when she grabbed his arm.

“You did nothing wrong. Why are you so afraid of the rumors?”

Giselle shot a stern eye at those who looked down on Casper and shouted, “Why are you all looking down on him? What did he do to deserve this? Is it wrong to be poor in this society?”

The surrounding students exchanged amused looks.

Of course, it’s not okay to be poor. Isn’t this reality? Isn’t this the truth?

“Ms. Clauder, I totally get you if you like pretty boys, but there are people who are far better than him on the campus. I heard Sawyer has been courting you. Isn’t he the better choice since he’s the heir to Lingham Group?” a girl said sourly. She must be one of Sawyer’s many admirers.

“That’s right!”

“Yeah!”

Everyone echoed their agreements. Giselle was about to say some more, but Casper stopped her.

The hostility in his eyes shocked the girl who retreated two steps. “What are you trying to do? I’m only stating the truth. It only makes you worse when compared to Sawyer.”

Casper wasn’t as calm and unfazed as he used to this time around. He pointed to a corner and retorted, “Why don’t you ask him yourself if he dares steal my woman? I’ll lick your shoes if his answer is affirmative.”
