Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Staring affectionately at Giselle, Casper could feel his heart shatter.

Just looking at her alone gave him the urge to care for her and spoil her. Hence, there was no way he

could bear to see her cry as it only served to sadden him.

Feeling anxious, Casper was furious at whoever had caused Giselle to be sad.

Casper resolved angrily, I will teach whoever that’s responsible a painful lesson!

However, the priority now was to cheer her up.

Due to his machismo, he couldn’t bear to see any lady cry, let alone someone he was in love with.

Sighing deeply, he took another deep breath and racked his brains for his arsenal of techniques to

cheer girls up.

Unfortunately, he quickly realized that he had none.

Although he seldom needed to coax Kitty when they were together, he was pretty smooth when it came

to whispering sweet nothings.

However, Giselle wasn’t just anyone. She was his goddess, future girlfriend, and wife!

Will ordinary sweet nothings be effective? Casper wondered to himself.

Will the goddess resent them instead?

However, after looking at her, Casper sighed. Gritting his teeth, he resigned himself to fate, as if he was

about to walk into the throes of death.

“Goddess, stop crying. Who was the one that caused you to be so sad? I will reprimand him and even

beat him up, so that you will be able to vent your frustration. Just as long as you don’t feel sad

anymore, alright?” Casper suggested with a sincere expression.

In truth, Giselle didn’t know what had gotten into her when she was overwhelmed by a rush of

emotions.

She obviously knew that Casper wasn’t responsible for what was alleged of him and also who the true

mastermind was.

However, it was precisely because she knew who it was that caused her to feel more poignant.

Casper had been embroiled in so many controversies because of her.

She had even heard that he was barred from class given what had happened.

It simply demonstrated how serious the criticism and allegations against him were.

People seldom cared much for the truth. All they did was think, see, and hear whatever they wanted to.

Therefore, no one bothered to verify if the allegations against Casper were even true. Instead, their

version of the truth was determined by hearsay.

With regards to the rumor of keeping an online streamer as a sugar baby, who else but he would

know?

He knew that she worked as an online streamer. He also knew Casper and studied at the Business

University at the same time.

Furthermore, she had run into him the last few days. Therefore, who else can it be other than him?

She had endeavored not to get Casper involved. However, she didn’t expect Sawyer to take such cruel

and drastic measures.

He had resolved to utterly destroy Casper.

With that thought in mind, she had the sudden urge to confront him and clear Casper’s name.

However, she knew that she had to remain calm as that wasn’t the right decision. It would not only be

of no help to Casper, but would instead intensify Sawyer’s hatred toward him.

Realizing that she was powerless to fix the problem caused her to desperately search for Casper

instead.

Only God knew how much time she had spent looking for him.

She didn’t stop calling him nor searching for him. In the end, when she ran out of options, she

painstakingly tracked down Casper’s dormmates. Only then did she find out that he had changed his

number.

When she first heard that he had done so, she was overwhelmed by panic.

“Was it because he was devastated by what happened? Why did he not inform me that he changed his

number? Did he forget? Or was he just unwilling to do so?”

Her head began to fill with irrational thoughts.

It wasn’t until Casper answered her call that her pounding heart began to calm down.

She reminded herself to keep herself together and pretend as if nothing had happened. More

importantly, she didn’t want to let Casper notice how concerned she was.

Unfortunately, reality had other plans.

In spite of being slandered to such an extent, his first reaction wasn’t anger nor vengeance. In fact, he

didn’t even blame me for causing it and wanted to treat me sushi because he knew it was my favorite.

Furthermore, he even asked me to trust him.

At that moment, Casper naturally wasn’t aware of what was going through Giselle’s mind. Instead, he

was racking his brains on how to cheer her up and was planning to teach the one who made her sad a

painful lesson thereafter.

Hence, he had no idea that Giselle was feeling that way because of him.

Therefore, despite looking at Casper with a depressed and tearful expression, she struggled to smile at

his attempt to cheer her up. At that moment, she was in a dilemma as to whether to laugh or to cry.

“I’m alright now. It’s just that some sand had gotten into my eye, causing it to be irritated,” she finally

replied.

She couldn’t bear to see Casper’s concerned expression as it only made her feel worse.

“Our sushi will be served anytime soon. Why don’t you head back out first? I’ll join you once I freshen

up. So, wait for me outside, will you?” Giselle proposed.

At her suggestion, Casper had no choice but to nod in agreement. After walking out, he waited outside

for Giselle.

Although Giselle didn’t tell him who it was, he had seared her expression then into his mind.

Whoever dared to cause my goddess to cry will suffer the consequences.

Holding that thought, he began to faintly suspect someone.

Therefore, that person would subsequently be tormented by Casper for this unsubstantiated reason.

He had not expected that the trigger for him to suffer miserably at Casper’s hands was all started by a

misunderstanding.

It wasn’t until a long time in the future that Casper thought back to this fateful day.

At that time, Giselle had long married into the Simpson family. When she suddenly recalled the

incident, she finally told Casper the truth.

Casper felt awkward when he heard it. After all, he was the one responsible for making her cry and

pretended that he had nothing to do with it.

However, back in the present, Casper was already plotting his revenge against Sawyer.
