Becoming the Richest Man Alive

“Don’t change the topic. Casper has nothing to do with the matter!” Giselle snapped.

Jansen glanced at Casper again. “Ms. Clauder, Casper is the subject of the rumors. How can you say

that he has nothing to do with them? Isn’t that right? Casper?”

Giselle had wanted to change everyone’s perception of Casper. She couldn’t tolerate them slandering

him in front of her, especially since she was the cause of the whole controversy.

However, she had ended up dragging Casper into an even larger maelstrom.

Other than feeling defeated, she also felt guilty and worried.

Looking at Casper, her gaze was filled with concern and the innocent remorse of a little girl.

He had never seen this side of her before. It felt as if the more time they spent together, the deeper his

love for her became.

He was now completely bewitched by her, and there simply wasn’t any escape.

Having regained his senses, Casper shook his head lightly and gave Giselle a reassuring look.

He seems to be telling me that he would take care of it.

Every time she saw him, she would feel a strong sense of security.

Furthermore, she didn’t even know where it came from.

His money? However, Sawyer is rich too but he has never made me feel secure before.

Giselle was still confused. For some inexplicable reason, he would repeatedly make her feel safe, and

she would naturally place her trust in him.

Most importantly, Casper never let her down.

Regaining her senses, Giselle felt reassured by the shake of Casper’s head.

Staring at him, her worries and uneasiness were miraculously gone.

Casper stared calmly at Jansen.

Despite feeling awkward for speaking badly about Casper in front of him, Jansen fired the first salvo.

“Casper, given that all your misdeeds have been exposed in the campus forums, don’t you want to use

this opportunity to defend yourself?” Jansen asked.

Casper chuckled. “Defend myself? I have nothing to say. Instead, don’t you have anything to say to

me?”

Casper raised his pitch with a smirk as if he was taunting Jansen.

Jansen was outraged by how condescending Casper was to him.

Casper’s reaction wasn’t what he expected, and he felt the urge to put him in his place.

Jansen asserted, “Don’t you feel ashamed for what you have done? No sane person is capable of what

you did. I am disgusted with your behavior!”

After all, Casper was famous in school for being broke. He would be scavenging garbage in search of

leftovers. Therefore, anyone in Business University was better off than him.

The situation seemed to be an exception not found anywhere else.

Even Jansen’s family background would easily be better than that of Casper’s.

In fact, he had seen with his own eyes how Casper wolfed down his leftovers.

But now, their positions had been reversed.

The one on the lowest rung of the social ladder was now at the top.

Casper was now wealthy and had become someone all of them envy.

Therefore, the dissatisfaction it caused lead to snide comments and vicious critiques. Essentially, they

were all words borne out of jealousy, which Casper was well aware of.

Behind all the controversies and malicious comments, were the ugliness of men.

Therefore, Casper felt there was no point in discussing anything with people like that.

However, Jansen was relentless. “Why don’t you look yourself in the mirror? Despite being rich now,

you are still nothing but a penniless fool. Given what you did, don’t you even have a conscience?”

Casper felt Jansen was being ridiculous. In fact, even Giselle furrowed her eyebrows in bewilderment.

Looking at the Jansen who was all worked up, Casper was tempted to laugh. He asked, “What does

that have anything to do with you?”

Jansen choked as his face flushed red in anger.

When he saw Jansen unable to retort, Casper chuckled. “Can you tell me what horrible thing I did to

you to have caused you such agony?”

“Did I steal your girlfriend? Threaten your parents? Take your crush as a sugar baby? Or some other

thing that caused you to be filled with such animosity? Do let me know. I’ll try my best to change

whatever possible.”

Staring at Jansen, Casper saw that his face looked as if it was going to explode.

Casper shook his head as the amusement as his gaze intensified.

“Come on, tell me.”

After a long while, Jansen replied, “You got a teacher to kneel before you.” Jansen’s voice had lost its

earlier vigor.

Casper explained, “Jack declared that if I could donate twenty thousand, he would kneel. However,

when I did, he refused to honor his promise. Later on, when the donation reached a million, the dean

could no longer stand it.”

Just as he spoke, Casper stretched his back.

“In other words, I was not the one that got Jack to kneel. It was the dean that ordered him to kneel for

me because of the million. Jack was the one who made the declaration and went back on his word. I

never forced him to do it. At the end of the day, the million was just the catalyst for him to kneel.”

Casper continued to stare plainly at Jansen who by then, lost for words.

Despite the surrounding crowd looking on earnestly, both of them kept their voices low, not intending

for the rest to hear. Other than those standing closest to them, the other busybodies began to disperse.

Finally, only Casper, Giselle, Jansen, the fashionable lady, and her friend were left.

When the lady realized that it was no longer interesting, she nudged her male companion to leave.

However, he inexplicably held her back. “Janet, wait.”

Janet was shocked.

From her perspective, there was nothing in this world that would interest that man.

Therefore, she was shocked that he was curious about the drama before them.

As for Casper and Giselle, they too walked away given Jansen had nothing more to say, and the crowd

had more or less dispersed.

After the long argument, they had yet to eat any sushi.

When they returned to their private room, no one noticed that Casper and Giselle were having dinner

together.

However, they didn’t realize that a man was looking in their direction for a very long time.

It wasn’t until they were out of sight that he recovered his gaze.
