I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 17: Joshua Arthur visits
Chapter 17James nodded his head with a smile and answered, “Yes, I am. Going to check out on something but I will be back in just few hours. Won't take that long.” He adjusted his shirt, making it look perfectly on him as he glanced at the mirror that was hung on the wall.Olivia frowned her face with contempt, “I never asked you when you'll be coming back home. I have no business with that.” She said, her voice harsh and annoying. “There’s literally nothing you do at home.” She added and her word cut through James' heart.James stared at her with disbelief and he couldn't say anything. Olivia let out a sigh and silently walked to the bed and lay down comfortably on it with her laptop already placed on it.Meanwhile, at the four corners of the wall of Parker's manor, a sleek black Range Rover pulled into the compound with a noiseless sound. The exterior looks of the car only was a center of attraction and attention. Just then the car pulled up and came to a stop at the parking lot
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 18: Joshua Arthur Arrives
Chapter 18 James turned, his face was a mixture of irritation and anger. He looked at Joshua with his well-fitted and rich outfit but he didn't care. He wondered what he was doing there but then remembered that Olivia talked about Joshua taking her out for a dinner night. He slightly checked his watch, and it was already 5pm, not up to 9pm, suitable for a dinner night. James' hoha expression deepened as he looked at Joshua and said, “And who are you to interfere in our family affairs? What right do you have to do that?” Joshua smirked, adjusting his collar, “I have every right whatsoever to do so! Face it, James. You don’t belong in Olivia’s world. You have nothing to offer. Both to her and her family.” He said and added, clearly irritated, “with what I got, you're nothing but a leech living off their little wealth with no positive contribution whatsoever to the family!” Grandma Aurora nodded her head by the side, affirming, “Yes, he is! Always sitting at home doing not
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 19: Evelyn Talks to Olivia
Chapter 19James slowly halted in his steps, sighing deeply as he turned back. Evelyn approached him, “James, where are you going to?” She asked softly, “Or are you upset with what just happened back inside?” James chucked, his expression softening, “Upset? No, I'm not. It's her life to live and I have no say in it. She should go ahead and do whatever that pleases her.” He replied calmly but his tone betrayed his frustration.Evelyn shook her head, perceiving his frustration. She sympathized “I know it is painful; that's why I'm pleading that you forgive her; please, forgive, and don't take it to heart.” “She has not in any way offended me. She has her life to live. And it's fine by me. I have no problem with the way she wants to live her life,” James answered, looking away and trying to hide his feelings at that moment.Evelyn placed her hand on his shoulder, not satisfied with his response, “You may try to hide your feelings right now, James but I know how bad you feel watching t
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 20: Olivia Goes on a Dinner Night With Joshua
Chapter 20Olivia’s breath caught, her fingers tightening around the fabric of her dress as she looked at her mother with disbelief, “Mom, are you trying to chase away your guest just because you don't like him?” She asked, “And what has he ever done to you to dislike him this much?” “Same way you dislike James to the core when he has done nothing to you, Olivia.” Evelyn said, “Can’t you see how much James cares for you? Why are you too blind to see that? How could you even think of letting Joshua say those flirtatious words to you in front of James without objecting to it? Tell me. Don't you know it hurts? Didn't you perceive his—?” “Please, stop it already, Mom,” Olivia interjected, frowning. She swallowed hard and shook her head, “If this conversation is all about James, then, sorry, I'm done.” Without waiting for any response, Olivia walked away leaving Evelyn to stand there alone.Evelyn shook her head, displeased, “She's grown too stubborn. Grandma and Leonard are all part of
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 21: James Discusses With the Driver
Chapter 21 At that same time, still on the road, the driver, keeping his focused attention on the road, asked, sighting James at the back through the rearview mirror, “What happened? Is she asking for a divorce?” He asked. James shook his head, “No, but a divorce would have been better than living with her this way. She’s grown so cold that I don't get to understand her anymore. I keep trying my best to get her attention and make her feel loved, but all I get is disappointment in return.” He answered, his voice filled with frustration. The driver listened carefully, feeling his frustration. James paused and continued, “I feel like giving up on this marriage, for real.” His shoulder slumped and his face turned pale. Once he was done talking, the driver took a deep breath, sighing heavily with sympathy before he began thoughtfully, “I understand your pain, son. Challenges in life are sometimes like this. Not favorable as we thought it would be. But thinking about divorcing her
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 22: Good Life Restaurant
Chapter 22Joshua walked forward and opened the front door located close to the driver's seat for Olivia to enter. After Olivia entered, a small smile tucked around Joshua's lips as he turned around and entered into the car too.As he took his place in the driver's seat, he glanced at Olivia for a few minutes, an expression of admiration at her beautiful face washing over his face.Olivia was looking away, unaware of the look that mounted on her, but when she noticed the hesitant moment movement in the car, she glanced at Joshua, who immediately looked away, fastening the seat belt around his shoulder.With that, he started the car, and the engine roared to life. He reversed from the parking lot and then took off from the compound to the road.Meanwhile, the cab that James had boarded, finally arrived in front of the said restaurant.“We've arrived at the restaurant,” the driver announced, stopping the car.James looked up and he could boldly see the name boldly written on a large boa
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 23: Joshua and Olivia goes on a Dinner Night
Chapter 23 “Oh,” Thomas, James’ father replied, his voice almost apologetic, “just some minute and I'll be right there.” Meanwhile, on the road, inside the car. There was a moment of quietness as Joshua drove through the lovely street. As he drove, he occasionally glanced at Olivia who was busy looking outside through the window. Cool music was playing in the background, keeping the inside of the car a little bit lively. Although focused on the steering wheel, Joshua didn't fail to look at Olivia. As a result, he broke the silence in the car, “Olivia,” he called, and she turned to look at him. He continued, “What's going on in your mind? You've been quiet for quite a long time now. Can you tell me what the problem is?” He asked, his voice sounding concerned. Olivia took a deep breath, shifting slightly on her seat. She shook her head and reluctantly answered, “Nothing’s the problem. Thanks for your concern.” Joshua sighed, shaking his head, not satisfied with her reply
I Am Extremely Rich Chapter 24: James at the Restaurant
Chapter 24Sensing and observing that Joshua must be a man of power and luxury, the security guard greeted him, a smile tugging across his face, “Good evening, sir. I know you already have a reservation here, please kindly proceed to the hall.” Respect laced in his voice, and his smile widened.Joshua nodded with a smile, saying no word. Olivia's hand still tightened in his softly.The security guard decided to add, attempting to get some bucks from Joshua, “Your wife looks beautiful. You're blessed with her.” A smile played on Joshua's face again. He was just about to speak, but Olivia interrupted, wearing a frown face, “Thanks for the compliment, but we're not couples, okay?” She replied, her tone sharp.The security guard slowly nodded, shame washed over him. He didn't see that coming his way.Joshua looked at Olivia and swallowed hard. A bit of embarrassment was plastered on his face. He didn't say a word as he gestured at Olivia for them to go in.As they moved an inch away from

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

Another 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

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,

Grandma 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

Olivia 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

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 57: Olivia Pretends
Chapter 57 Stepping into the room, James locked eyes with Olivia's. He slightly averted her gaze, closed the door behind him, and moved further into the room. “Olivia,” he called out, placing the gown on the bed. “I bought this for you.” He said, observing how she was going to react. Olivia raised a surprised eyebrow at him before reluctantly sitting up on the bed. Dropping her phone down, she asked, looking at James before eyeing the nylon bag. “You bought something for me.” She furrowed her eyebrows, “what is it?” James nodded with a smile, “It's something you'd love, please, check it out yourself.” He gestured to the bag, wanting Olivia to open it by herself. Olivia shifted her body on the bed as her gaze locked with James’. Doubt crept onto her face, not believing what James was saying. But after giving James a last glance, she hesitatedly drew the nylon bag close to herself and started to unwrap it with an impatient expression. James stood, his arms lapping across h
Chapter 56: Slight Like
Chapter 56 James paused briefly and leaned forward on his seat. Raising an eyebrow at the driver, utterly confused, “What's that?” He asked. The driver cleared his throat and repeated, “I mean….how you helped those random strangers with $300 each. I saw that.” “That?” James gave a casual wave of hand, “They are not random strangers—they are like family to me, so it's nothing.” Hearing that, the driver's eyes blinked in surprise yet intrigued. “Oh, I see.” He said softly. “That means you're worth millions if you can give someone $300 in just a second.” “Okay.” James just casually said, shrugging his shoulders. Without a word he leaned back on his seat, his face lit up with joy again after taking another glimpse at the packaged gown. The driver, still interested in having a conversation with James, spoke again after several reluctances, his voice was calm and a mix of concern and worry, “Sir…it seems like you have a little cut on your forehead, what happened? I can take you
Chapter 55: Driver Praises James
Chapter 55 Before the woman could outrun James to beg him, James turned, giving her a cold glare void of any emotions, “Don't!” He stopped her with his hand and gave a shrug, “Who knows–I was going to get a necklace from you worth $700, but you actually blocked your way by yourself, so it's actually not my fault! Your bad approach caused it!” The woman wore a genuine regret now but James had already concluded that it was over. Just as the woman opened her mouth to say a word, James walked away entirely from the store arena. She only stared at James as he walked away with rue, tears forming in her eyes. She couldn't hold them back anymore and she let them stream down her cheeks. “You deserve better than this!” Sandra said with a cold voice. “Judging people by their appearance will never bring any good to your life. Change!” She said and ran off to catch up with James alongside Walsh. After they approached him, James took a deep breath, trying to shake off the scene that h
