Chapter 45: Mission Accomplished!
After the summit ended, Jackson walked up to the receptionist, who had talked to him with a friendly tone when he got into the building, and thanked her.The young lady had now found out that Jackson was the new owner of the company and about what had happened to Ms. Celeste and her guest during the summit. She felt bad for them and at the same time thankful to God that she didn’t join them in insulting Jackson earlier.Mr. Copper had told Jackson that it was time he took over the empire fully and stopped living in the shadows, but Jackson asked for more time. This was his last semester in school, and once he’s done with exams, he’d step in fully as Jackson Hart—heir to the Hart Empire.Mr. Copper agreed and promised to do what he could pending when Jackson would finish exams and step in to take over the Empire.Arriving back at his hostel, Jackson was greeted with a terrifying scene. James and Andrew had gone for classes and wouldn’t be back till around 5p.m so it couldn’t have been
Chapter 43: The Hart’s Tech Division Summit II
“The CTO asked us to escort this young man out of the building.” One of the security officers quickly reported.“He came here as a student representative for the summit, but Ms. Celeste said there are no open invitations for students’ representatives.” The other security officer added.Mr. Copper asked them to take their hands off Jackson and go back to their duty posts. He also apologized to Jackson for arriving a bit late. He had seen this coming and had assured Jackson that he’d be there early enough to prevent it from happening, but traffic hadn’t smiled at him that morning. The security officers were shocked to see Mr. Copper, the custodian of all that was owned by the Harts, apologizing to Jackson, a mere student representative who had come for the summit. But they were not in any position to ask questions, so they just returned to their duty posts and pretended as though they had not seen anything.Mr. Copper asked Mrs. Karen to take Jackson to the executive wing of the compan
Chapter 42: The Hart’s Tech Division Summit I
The glass doors of the Hart Empire’s Tech Division slid open with a muted whoosh as Jackson stepped through in his usual simple outfit. Mr. Jerry had tried to convince him to get better outfits for the visit, but Jackson refused, stating that he preferred to remain simple, as that would be the best way he would be able to get to know the kind of people who controlled the operations of the Tech Division.Leaving the hostel that morning, Jackson had had to come up with the best lie. They were to have a very important class that morning with one of the most notorious lecturers in the university—Professor Layton.Professor Layton was the most senior professor in the department of Management and Accountings, and he had just returned from a six-month sabbatical leave.Rumor has it that Professor Layton, aside from being a lecturer at the university, was also involved in some underground mafia activities, but none of that has been confirmed yet. He was a close friend to the Lewises, and his
Chapter 41: Oh My G!
“We should be the ones asking you that,” Jackson snapped. “You disappeared from the group without telling anyone. And because of that, we just cost a lady millions of dollars.”Nancy’s brow furrowed, causing her to ask what Jackson meant by what he just said.Jackson told her everything that had happened with Hailey and the goldfish arowanas. Nancy apologized, feeling sorry for what had happened. She explained to them that she didn’t mean to leave without telling anyone and that she had to pick up a delivery from the bus station that her older sister, who lived in the next city, sent some packages, and she had to quickly rush down to get them.Jackson scoffed. “And I thought you went somewhere with Travis.”“Of course not,” Nancy chuckled. “Travis and I are done, and we’re done for good.”Bella, still feeling sorry for Hailey and the weight of what she had done accidentally, really didn’t join the conversation, her thoughts spiraling.“Don’t worry, Bella. I will also try to talk to m
Chapter 40: Just Give Mystery Billionaire a Text!
“Do you know how much these goldfish cost? Do you have any idea what you just did?”Jackson staggered but then regained balance. “I’m sorry. It was an accident.” He apologized.“Accident?” Mr. Wesley asked, pulling out his phone to call security, but Hailey Bathes, the lady who had brought in the fish, intervened, apologizing on behalf of Jackson and Bella.Seeing Jackson step in to take the blame for Bella really touched her and made her feel sorry for causing a scene.She was frustrated at what happened because she really needed the money from the fish. Hailey was a sophomore at the university, and her family was in great debt. Her father was a fisherman who lived all his life in penury, leaving behind piles of debt for her and her mother.The banks were already threatening to take away all that they had, and she was at that lowest point of her life when she heard about the tourist who wanted goldfish arowana.She saw it as her way out of poverty, knowing how much a goldfish arowana
Chapter 39: Two Goldfish Arowanas!
Returning to join his friends, Bella quickly rushed to his side and asked him how his meeting with Mr. Jerry went and if he still had his job or not. Jackson smiled, surprised to see how Bella was concerned about him. Even if Bella was nice and nothing like Emily and Claire, who looked down on the poor, he was still surprised at the way Bella was being tender and caring.She was different from the Bella he had been with earlier when he disguised himself as the mystery billionaire. He had expected her to be fascinated by the luxurious setting, the ambience of the Waterfall restaurant, and the way he had showed up masked. But to his surprise, Bella didn’t find any of that amusing. Instead, here she was around him like he was some kind of celebrity.“My job’s still intact,” Jackson chuckled.“Thank goodness,” Bella heaved a sigh of relief.That was when Andrew and James drew closer.“I think we’ve had enough for one night. I think we should be going back to the hostel now.” James said,
Chapter 38: A Deal With CIO!
Jackson was not ready for a scene with Karen Johnson, and so that Bella wouldn’t suspect a thing, he feigned apology.“Sorry I acted the way I did earlier. It wasn’t what you were thinking.”“I don’t bloody care!” Karen Johnson screamed in his face. “You’re already fired! I can assure you that.”With that, she stormed away, leaving Jackson and Bella.“What the hell was that? And who was that lady?” Bella asked.Jackson told her that she was Karen Johnson and the CIO of the company. Bella was surprised and asked what Jackson had done to her that would make her yell at him in such a disrespectful manner even with everyone watching.Jackson told her not to worry, that he was used to having people insult him, and that he wasn’t moved by any of those anymore.“What about your job? What if Mr. Haas fires you as she had threatened? What are you going to do?”“I would have to look for another job elsewhere.” Jackson faked a smile.Just then, his phone buzzed in his pocket, and looking at the
Chapter 37: A Disappointing Date!
Jackson smiled, not surprised by Bella’s question. He had deliberately decided to show up behind the mask just to keep his identity hidden until the time is right for his friends to know him as the Mystery Billionaire.Without giving an answer to Bella’s question, he took her by the hand and led her to the table that he had prepared for the two of them.Pulling out a chair, he assisted Bella in taking her seat before he took his own seat.There was a pause before Bella asked, “Do you have a name, or do I just keep calling you Mystery Billionaire forever?”“I prefer Mystery Billionaire for now,” he answered calmly. “A name… complicates things.”Bella frowned slightly. “That’s kind of odd, don't you think?”"What's odd?" Jackson asked, still masking his voice as the voice of Mystery billionaire."We’re on a date, and I'm supposed to know who I'm with.""But you already know me, don't you? I'm Mystery Billionaire.""But that's not a name. Since this is a date, I'm supposed to know your n
Chapter 36: The Billionaire in a Mask!
The surprise in Travis’ eyes was enough to convince Nancy that all wasn’t well, and the way Jackson held his gaze, like he wasn’t the one Travis was looking at with so much surprise, made her wonder what exactly was going on.“You two know each other?” She asked.Travis knew he had to play smart. Jackson had seen him with Karen having sex earlier, and if he decides to pull any funny stunt, Jackson might squeal on him. “Yeah,” Travis said, chuckling lightly. “We ran into each other earlier, somewhere around the executive suite on the top floor. Small world, isn’t it?”Jackson raised an eyebrow, but he too played along. “Sure did.”He wasn’t sure, but he was having the feeling that Travis might have sensed something with the way he spoke to Karen earlier, and if he decides to make a fuss about what had happened earlier, his friends might begin to suspect him, especially now that Travis had mentioned the executive suite on the top floor.Nancy blinked. “Wait… Did you just say the execut
