Chapter: Chapter 63 As James entered the hall, his foot stepping onto the glossy marble floor, his jaw dropped to the ground in astonishment. The hall was an extravagant room, feeling luxurious and grand. The high ceilings held a sparkling chandelier raining down lights and the walls were adorned with ornate rugs, priceless artwork exuding wealth. The velvet sofas and intricately carved wooden tables were plushly arranged in the hall. James' eyes darted to the huge windows draped with heavy, flowing curtains, then to the crystal vases filled with fresh scent flowers; he gasped audibly. Every detail felt rich and intentional. “This…..is called wealth,” James mumbled, impressed. Glancing around the hall filled with people trying to take their seats, James spotted Olivia with a lady, having a conversation and he walked towards them. Meanwhile, among the crowd, a lady dressed in a crop-topped shirt and a pair of pants revealing her soft and smooth thighs, embraced Olivia into a warm hug, smiling broadl

Chapter: Chapter 62Another said, barely above a whisper, “He's so handsome. Prince charming!” “His father must be a billionaire and he….the heir.” A third person joined in, her mouth dropped to the ground in awe. “If not for the bodyguards, I would have gone to take pictures with him and frame it but I'm afraid….I might get beaten up.” While all these were going on—the flirting words from the ladies, the respective waves from the guys, and also the steadied gazes from onlookers, Joshua just carried himself with pride without paying any attention to them. Meanwhile, at the entrance to the main hall where the birthday party was to take place, the security guard there blocked James' path after letting Olivia go in. A hint of irritation ran through his eyes as he let them trail over James reiteratively. He wasn't expecting to see someone like him in this place. So, he said, “Who are you and where are you going?” The security guard asked James with a frown, his arms crossed. With an eyebrow ar

Chapter: Chapter 61 Meanwhile, Olivia arrived at Harris’ compound, Mary's place, with her old Nissan Versa. She drove further into the available space in the parking lot and came to a halt, carefully parking. As Olivia stepped out, her gaze fell on the cars already parked there and she gasped audibly, apprehending the force Mary's father's birthday party would carry. Beside her car were Mercedes AMG, Rolls Royce, Range Rover, etc. Hers was the only odd one out. Olivia's face blushed with a mix of shame and embarrassment but she tried to keep a composed demeanor as she saw more cars driving in. James then stepped out too, and a shocking shiver ran down his spine. “Wow, t—these are mind-blowing.” He admitted, his voice wavering. However, he tried not to stare much to avoid being embarrassed as he followed Olivia from behind. The compound was filled with people of caliber, all well-dressed. The men were dressed up; some were in gray suits with their luxury watches situated around their wrists,

Chapter: Chapter 60Grandma Aurora's eyes fell on him, screwing up into a mixture of disdain and tight frown, “Are you going out with him?” She asked, burning James with so much hatred. Olivia bit her lips, nervously and gave a slow nod, “Yes, Granny. My friend asked for it so I—” She tried to answer when Grandma Aurora interjected, displaying fury. “And you consented to it?” She asked, her voice sharp and filled with irritation. “How could you agree to it? Don't you know this is an attempt to mock our family—the Parkers?” Olivia just swallowed hard, listening to everything her grandmother was saying. Her head was slightly facing the ground in shame. Grandma Aurora continued, pointing at James with contempt, “Take a look at him, does he even look any good to follow you to such a significant event?” James just stood, crossing his arms as he listened but the words were having no negative effects on him. Instead, he was smiling lightly to himself, finding the words humorous. Leonard also wanted

Chapter: Chapter 59Olivia winked, “Why? Haven't I been looking beautiful before?” James quickly shook his head, indicating that was not what he meant. “Nah, I mean you look more different in the gown I bought for you. It just looks perfect on you.” Olivia's face twisted into a tight frown as she moved forward dramatically and shut him off. “No, go on…” she said, annoyed, “come on, go ahead and tell the whole world you bought a replica for me, and I accepted.” James' eyes flashed with confusion about how Olivia was just getting him all wrong, however, he didn't say a word. Olivia continued, a hint of disgust lacing in her voice, “You should be ashamed of yourself that guys of your age are getting their wives expensive things and here you are, making noise about gifting me a replica. And so you know…. I'm not putting this on after today. I only accepted it because I don't have any new clothes to put on.” Janes opened his mouth to speak, but Olivia cut him off again, this time before he could ut

Chapter: Chapter 58 Evelyn hurriedly shook her head with a smile, “Not really, James. Come to check if you were back….and here you're…I think I have to give the both of you space to carry on…” She rushed out of the room, closing the door behind her before James or Olivia could even say a word. James and Olivia both looked at each other, confused about Evelyn's last word. To carry on with what exactly? Olivia raised her eyebrows with a slight frown, “This woman is so unbelievable at times.” She said under her breath. James shook his head and a small smile crept over his face, knowing Evelyn's intention for making such a comment. She was trying to get Olivia and him close to each other. Funny. He then held the towel wrapped around his waist about to pull it off to oil his boy…. At that same moment, after letting out a deep sigh, Olivia turned around only for her sharp gaze to land on James when he was on the verge of removing his towel. Her eyes flinched and she immediately covered her face w

Chapter: The EndChapter 173 *Weeks later* The hall was decorated with balloons, and luxurious cars were parked everywhere in the surroundings. Men and women in elegant suits were happily moving around with glasses of red wine in their hands. Cameras were already mounted everywhere with photographers taking pictures. The event was streamed live on all channels all over the world making people stay connected to it. “Wow, this is a remarkable and unforgettable day of my life. I'm gonna frame this for my grandchildren.” One exclaimed, smiling widely, taking in the luxurious atmosphere. ‘Indeed, it is. It's worth sharing!” One responded. Soon, everywhere became hushed like a graveyard, with everyone seated as a man dressed in a vestment with a cassock worn under the white vestment. He also wore a stole around his neck and a chasuble worn around his shoulders and stood in front of everyone. This is the priest. Close to him but in front of him stood a handsome, wealthy-looking man dressed in

Chapter: The Attack Chapter 172 On the podium, Mr. John pointed at Michael and said, “He's the president of this great company from today henceforth.” He declared firmly. And the whole hall erupted into applause. And murmuring started, “Oh, wow. He looks handsome and young to handle such a company.” “I believe he's capable of handling it, that's why it's been handed to him.” The announcement had been made and yet the journalists seemed not to be leaving. One brave journalist stepped forward and said directly to Michael, “Sir, please, can you tell us? Do you have any experience in this before now?” Michael smiled, shaking his head, “No, I don't. However, I have studied and mastered everything that has to be done through the mentor of my beloved Uncle and manager.” He pointed to John and Franklin. “So, if I must answer, then yes.” The journalist nodded, impressed, “So, tell us, sir. What's your exact age?” “Just 26.” “26, and you're controlling a trillion-dollar company?” She swallowed an

Chapter: Michael To The WorldChapter 171Meanwhile, the next day, early in the morning, a group of vehicles filled with journalists with their big cameras, microphones, notebooks and pens, digital recorders, and some with smartphones arrived at Maple's biggest company ahead of the announcement to be made. Inside the big office in the company, Mr. John Lewis and Franklin sat. He looked at Franklin and asked, “Have they arrived?” “Yes, sir.” Franklin nodded.“What about Michael, has he arrived yet?” Franklin shook his head, “I don't think he has arrived. But let me call him.” He brought out his phone and called Michael. The phone kept ringing but there was no response after several trials. John looked at him and said, “Maybe, he might be on his way. Just go and lead the journalists in.” Franklin nodded and left. Getting outside, he saw a group of journalists who were all dressed in black and navy suits. He approached them with an authoritative demeanor, drawing everyone's attention of everyone to himself, “Go

Chapter: Him?Chapter 170 Still in the store, the sales representative looked at Michael and asked, “Do you have any brand or model in mind?” Michael shook his head and replied, “No, I don't. I just need a smartphone of any brand that has amazing features, a long-lasting battery, and fast browsing. Any latest model or brand at all.” “Alright, do you want an iPhone 16? It's fast and has a good camera….” The sales representative began. Michael interrupted, “And what about the battery? Just don't worry about it, I'm using that brand and the battery doesn't last long. Don't you have any other brand apart from the Apple brand?” The sales representative nodded, “We do. Samsung Galaxy is another best brand that provides you with a long-lasting battery and other amazing features.” “What's the model?” “Samsung Galaxy S24, sir.” “Please, bring that for me.” Michael requested, “Bring it in pairs.” He wanted to taste the brand as well. “Sorry, I forgot, bring two HP computers alongside.”

Chapter: Phone StoreChapter 169 Meanwhile, after Michael and Philip finished freshening up themselves, they headed to the parking lot. Michael, holding two car keys, threw one to Philip while he retained one. The car key he handed to Philip was the one belonging to a Mercedes Benz AMG that was worth over $200,000. “That's the key to that car.” He pointed at the sleek black Mercedes Ben that was parked in the lot. “It belongs to you from henceforth.” He said, walking to hop into the same brand of car. “Mine?” Philip said out with disbelief causing Michael to halt in his steps. He turned back and nodded with confirmation, “Yes, it's yours. Whenever you're going out, go with it. This is a small gift from me to you for being a good friend.” Overwhelmed with gratitude, Philip was about to fall on his knees in Michael's front but Michael swiftly caught him right in the air, shaking his head lightly, “You don't have to. You were there by my side when those school bullies were after my life.” He said

Chapter: Part of Michael's Plans Chapter 168 Meanwhile, a car pulled in front of a black gate, and a lady came out of the car, looking gorgeously dressed. Her face was filled with thick makeup that made her look extremely beautiful. Also, her neck was adorned with gold jewelry that added to her beauty. She walked into a compound with graceful steps carrying a handbag. As she got inside the living room where the whole family was sitting, she let out a warm smile. “Aah! Ella? You're here?” Rose jumped and hugged her, happily. “You didn't tell me you were coming so fast.” She helped with the handbag. Ella smiled, “But at least I told you that I'll come to visit you. That's what is important.” She then walked to Stephen, “Good day, sir.” Turning to Maria, she greeted, “Good day, ma'am.” Then to Grandma Isabella, she said, “Good day, Granny.” Grandma Isabella smiled, “You're welcome, my granddaughter. We have missed you a lot. And you look beautiful today.” “Yes, Grandma. I'm wondering what's making her look s

Chapter: Chapter 24: Morris Drives Into The CampusChapter 24 Professor Nicola's gaze shifted following the direction where the voice came from with a surprised expression. The students also were surprised; this is because no one had ever taken a stand for Daniel. Daniel, on the other hand, didn't act as surprised as everyone. He quickly noticed the voice. It was the Chancellor. The Chancellor walked closer, his strides with grace. He looked at Nicola for a while before instructing, his voice resolute, “He shouldn't be chased out of the class. Allow him to go in,” he said, Professor Nicola wore a confusing expression. He remembered that the Chancellor hated Daniel with everything in him but now, he's acting kind and even defending him. He swallowed hard, glancing between the Chancellor and Daniel. A small smile played around Daniel's mouth. “But……okay, sir.” Nicola had tried to retort, but knowing that the Chancellor was ahead of him, he finally agreed, yet wearing a stern face. “Thank you, sir,” Daniel hesitated and politely s

Chapter: Chapter 23: Daniel Encounter Professor Nicola Chapter 23 Just as Daniel stepped his feet outside, a bit far from the Chancellor's office, William was already waiting for him outside and he immediately rushed to him. “What happened back there in the office after I left?” He asked him softly yet with an accusatory voice. He was also aware of the fact that the Chancellor wouldn't listen to Daniel even though he had begged him. As a result of that, a hint of confusion was etched on his face. Daniel looked at him, amused, and replied, “Why don't you go and ask the Chancellor? Maybe he will hint you the better.” He said, almost mocking him and William swallowed hard, speechless. Without waiting for a reply, Daniel started to leave, but William crossed his path, now pleading, “Dan, my son,” he began, his lips trembling with shame and embarrassment yet filled with emotions, “Please, I need my job back, help me get it back.” His voice was authentic as he pleaded. Daniel looked at him with a slight frown, “I'm not your son, and

Chapter: Chapter 22: William Receives Hot SlapChapter 22 The security guards nodded in unison and began to move riotously toward Daniel with stern faces. Their hands had already balled into fists. Just as they threw five steps forward, the Chancellor yelled at them, causing them to halt in mid-steps. “Don't touch him!” His authoritative yet wavering voice echoed in the room. The security guards instantly halted exchanging confused glances at each other. William had told them the Chancellor was the one who sent for them to have this man out. …..and now…? Meanwhile, the smirk on William's face instantly disappeared, replaced with a startled and disbelief expression. His gaze now shifted from Daniel to the Chancellor. Daniel, on the other side, smiled, letting his gaze focus on William. “Let's see who this favors.” He mumbled to himself, adjusting himself with a little bit of pride. “Just leave,” the Chancellor continued, waving a dismissive hand to the security guards. They hesitated, still confused before finally leavi

Chapter: Chapter 21: Becomes ShockedChapter 21 “What sort of joke is this?” William interjected, moving forward, “do you think the Chancellor has time for your nonsense?” His voice was sharp and his jaw clenched. Daniel looked at him, shaking his head. He didn't respond to him. Instead, he returned his gaze to the Chancellor and said, “Sir, just provide five names of year one students who haven't paid their fees,” he said again, bringing out his phone, "and I'll settle it." The Chancellor's anger grew thin. He raised his hand to slap Daniel but he was too quick to dodge it. This made him more furious. His fist clenched and his face twisted in rage, “Do I look like your playmate?” He turned to William and yelled, his voice filled with authority, “Call the security guards now and let them throw this thing out of here!” William quickly nodded, eyed Daniel angrily, and immediately rushed out. As William left, Daniel, with already regained composure, looked at the Chancellor, “Sir, there's no need to call the se

Chapter: Chapter 20: Daniel Enters The Chancellor's Office Chapter 20 Daniel's eyes blinked, surprised. It was as if he didn't hear what the caller had just asked. But why does he seem to care so much about him? “Do you have a problem with where I am?” Daniel asked, his tone sharp and a little rude. Victor who had called, replied from the other end, “I waited for you inside after you left, thinking you went to the library to read but I've gone there to look for you but didn't see you so I thought of calling you—” “As if you care,” Daniel interjected. “Anyway, thanks for calling, but I'm fine.” He didn't wait for any response before abruptly ending the call with a frown on his face. Staring at the phone in his hand, he mumbled, “What impression is he trying to create this time?” He asked himself. “Does he really think I will fall cheaply to him again?” He shook his head before tapping his phone to life. After unlocking it, he went to call history; his finger settled on Victor's number, and without a second thought, he coldly blacklisted i

Chapter: Chapter 19: Daniel HelpsChapter 19 Daniel's gaze remained fixed on the lady who had just introduced herself. He hesitantly accepted the handshake, “Daniel,” he said, his voice calm and cautious. He then asked, “How may I help you, Joanna?” He gently pulled back his hand. A tiny smile escaped Joanna's lips. She took a deep breath, composing her demeanor before responding, “I saw you booked a room so I thought of—” she paused, feeling a bit nervous, “keeping you company.” She forced it out, observing Daniel's reaction. Daniel raised his eyebrows at Joanna, “Keep me company? What do you mean by that?” He asked, almost sounding rude. He wasn't sure whether to feel suspicious about her choice of words. Joanna shifted uncomfortably, tucking her black long strand hair behind her ear, “I didn't mean to sound….improper,” she clarified politely, her voice breaking. She was about to continue, but Daniel interrupted, his patience already thinning, “....sorry, but I don't need anyone's company. I'm okay
