I grabbed the file. Four large words were printed neatly on the cover.Aurelius Vanguard Holdings.I paused and looked at Clara.She met my gaze with a gentle smile and gestured for me to continue.The file was thin—surprisingly so. Only eight pages in total. Still, I read every line carefully, not skimming a single word. The room was quiet except for the faint rustle of paper. By the time I finished, ten minutes had passed. I closed the file and placed it back on the table.At some point, lunch had arrived.The dining table was now filled with an assortment of refined cuisines—steaming dishes arranged with precision, each plate looking more like art than food. I took my seat, but my attention wasn’t on the meal. My thoughts were still tangled in the contents of the file.I finally spoke. “So the legal representative of this company… is me?”“That’s correct, sir,” Clara replied calmly. “Aurelius Vanguard Holdings has an authorized capital of one hundred and fifty million dollars.

Chapter 29
“Yep.” Alina nodded again, slower this time, as if each movement weighed a little heavier than the last. “Although I don’t know what his relationship is with the Cole Group, judging from that woman’s attitude toward him, he must hold an incredibly important position.” Sabrina fell quiet for a second, then let out a low murmur of realization. “So that’s why you wanted to get back together with him.” She scowled, shaking her head in disbelief. “Still… I don’t get it. It just doesn’t make sense. If he really was a rich kid, why did he choose to live such a shitty lifestyle? He even worked part-time just to buy clothes for you. Is there something wrong with his head?” Alina frowned slightly, just as confused. She thought for a long moment before speaking again, her voice tentative, as if she were testing the idea out loud. “What if… it’s like one of those movie plots?” she said. “What if he pretended to be poor so he could find his true love? Someone who would love him for who he is, n
He pretended
After Sabrina's outburst, the entire lecture hall went silent. Sabrina gave me a smug look topped with disdain and ridicule. With an indifferent face, I opened my mouth. Just as I was about to speak, another voice interrupted me."Sabrina, stop talking dirt. You have been dropping dirty words in every other sentence. Even your mouth reeks of filth now."I turned my head. The person who interrupted was Mario's girlfriend, Lena. Since I borrowed money from Mario in the past, we did not have the best relationship.She looked down on me and would often ridicule me. What was up with her today? I was a little surpsised with this development but I quickly made the connection. She must have learned about what happened at last night's farewell party. She knew that I was no longer the poor loser they all threw cusses at.Instead, I was now a rich person who could spend 40K at the drop of a hat. That would explain her sudden change in attitude toward me. Ay, humans are so materialistics.I sighed
Take me back.
I could hear the low murmurs of several boys sitting near me. Their voices were hushed, but not enough.“…No wonder everyone’s obsessed with Ms. Rhodes.” “Yeah, people lose their minds the moment they see her.” “I heard she’s cold on the outside, but not as untouchable as she looks.” “Come on, you’re just spreading nonsense.” “I’m telling you what I heard from seniors…”Their whispers were filled with speculation, jealousy, and crude curiosity.It made my jaw tighten.I turned toward them sharply, irritation flashing through me. “Shut up,” I said coldly. “If you’re not here to learn, then leave.”My voice came out louder than I intended.The lecture hall froze.Ms. Rhodes paused mid-sentence and looked in our direction. Her gaze was calm, sharp, and unreadable. Dozens of eyes followed hers, landing squarely on me—and then on the boys beside me.The whispers died instantly.The students next to me stiffened, their faces flushing with embarrassment. They shot me resentful looks befo
Dark fantasy
The night passed quietly.When I opened my eyes again, it was already nine in the morning—time to start a new day.Victor’s bed was empty. He clearly hadn’t returned to the dorm last night. Lucas was gone too; he was probably already at the library, buried in books like always. The only one still around was Mario, sprawled across his bed, snoring like the world owed him money.I shook him a few times, trying to wake him up so we could head out together.“Five more minutes…” he mumbled, rolling over and pulling the blanket over his head.That told me everything I needed to know.After washing my face and getting dressed, I headed to class alone.I had two morning classes today, and the first one was Introduction to Management. The lecture hall could seat about two hundred people. Normally, only around a hundred students from our department were supposed to attend.But when I walked in, I froze.Almost every seat was taken.Not only that—most of the students weren’t even from our departm
Sexting
He shot me an incredulous look, his face flushed a deep, furious red. His expression twisted, teetering on the edge of hysteria.“You’re fighting back?” he screamed. “You actually hit me? You just fucking hit me?!”I snorted.“You were about to kick me,” I replied calmly. “If I didn’t fight back, wouldn’t that make me an idiot?”Before he could react, I charged forward.My leg snapped out at full speed, my kick landing squarely in Victor’s stomach.“Ack—!”Victor let out a miserable scream as his body lurched backward. He lost his balance and tumbled to the ground, collapsing in a heap. He clutched his stomach, hunching over like a prawn, tears streaming down his face. He looked utterly pitiful.“Ethan!” he cried hoarsely. “Do you know how much money my family has?! You’ll regret this! I’ll kill you!”I chuckled softly and walked toward him at an unhurried pace.That did it.Victor’s eyes widened in fear. Trembling, he scrambled to his feet, ignoring the pain, and bolted out of the dor
