Revenge Of The Student Billionaire

Chapter 3

Before Adolphus knew what was going on, two policemen were already standing before him.

“I'm very sure that he stole my Rolex watch. Search for it and retrieve the watch immediately.” Richmond said, pointing at Adolphus with a serious look.

Without a warning, the policemen began to handle him like a thief, searching every part of his body.

When he tried to resist, one of the men gave him a slap.

“Stay still, you thief and let us do our jobs." 

As he was being searched, Adolphus saw the mischievous grin on the faces of Richmond and his friends, as well as Svetlana.

There were also the other students laughing at him, including the arrogant Pius who had earlier slapped his mother.

Something was fishy about the way Richmond and his friends were looking at him.

The next minute, the police found the supposed lost watch in the back pocket of his worn out jeans trousers.

At that moment, Adolphus became dumbfounded and confused. He could not comprehend how the watch found its way into his pocket. 

He had been framed.

“Oh, my God. He really did steal the watch. I can't believe that the minion is a thief?" A voice called him out from the crowd.

“Get that thief arrested immediately." Some of them echoed.

“I didn't steal that wristwatch, someone must have put it in my pocket to frame me. There's no way I would have stolen that when I just got here." Adolphus tried to defend himself but it fell into deaf ears.

Turning to Richmond and his clique who were smirking at him, he pointed out. “You guys are responsible for this. Why would you frame me?" 

“Officers, take him away already and lock him up.” Richmond barked at the policemen like they were his lackeys and they quickly swept into action.

They began to drag Adolphus out of the place like he was a criminal.

And from the corners of his eyes, he saw the victorious look on their faces.

Pius even blocked his path and gloated. "Where is your fucking pride, loser?" 

He shook his head disgustingly a few times and even spat on Adolphus's face. “That's for what you did earlier in my home. You and your foolish mother are yet to see the last of me." 

That action made Adolphus very mad that he tried to break free from the policemen but their hold on him was very strong.

“Pius, you arrogant bastard. You're going to pay for this insolence.” Adolphus threatened even though he wasn't sure how that was going to be possible.

As he was being dragged out of the place, all he could see was mocking the eyes and laughter of the other students. 

The only people that didn't laugh at him were Abigail, Donald and Glover.

Donald and Glover, his best friends, followed him to the police station and bailed him with their money. They never sent any words to Adolphus's mother for fear of how worried she would be.

As soon as they were outside the police station and Adolphus was now a free man, he stared speechlessly at his friends.

Donald and Glover were his age mates and their family are not so rich but they were better than Adolphus.

Donald's mother was late but his father was a bank manager who earned good money, enough to take care of his family.

Glover, on the other hand, has both parents and they run a big grocery store. It was their family business.

“Thank you so much for always having my back. I promise to repay you back every penny you've spent on me.” Adolphus said seriously, his deep blue eyes glancing at each of his friends. 

He was a very handsome young man with a towering figure and an intimidating presence. Unfortunately, his presence was looked down on because he was poor.

An errand boy like him was never noticed by people even though he was very handsome.

Svetlana, who noticed him, only used him for her school work. But now that Richmond was her boyfriend, they could easily pay for grades so she didn't need Adolphus's help any longer.

In the Accounting department, Adolphus was the best student but he was still looked down on because of his background.

His intelligence was not able to cancel his financial capacity.

“You don't have to pay us anything. We're your friend and will always have your back.” Donald reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

“And Svetlana, I tried to warn you about her but you didn't listen. I even tried to stop you from going to her birthday party but you ended the call." 

“If you had listened to me, something like this would not have happened." Donald continued but Adolphus said nothing.

As he thought about Svetlana, his heart broke the most. He was desperately in love with her and had plans for her.

Adolphus had great faith in himself and believed that he'd get a good job after their graduation. At that time, he'd be able to take care of the women he loves. Svetlana and his mother.

Unfortunately, Svetlana had decided to follow another guy who was rich, abandoning him.

Adolphus only remained silent as he was lost in his own thoughts.

“Come on, let's go back to the hostel. We didn't inform your mother about your arrest so be rest assured that she wouldn't find out about it." 

“Unless you tell her yourself." Glover added, giving him a concerned look.

“I won't even think of telling my mother. I can't have her getting more worried because of me.” Adolphus replied to him. 

At that moment, his phone began to ring. When he saw the caller's identity, he gasped loudly and turned to give his friends a shocking look.
