2024-09-12 21:00:20Arriving home, Jackson’s mind was a storm. The interviewer’s cryptic words replayed in his head, like a song stuck on a broken loop. He hadn’t done anything wrong—or at least, he couldn’t think of anything. But the unsettling feeling wouldn’t leave him.
“Could Anastasia be behind this?” The thought hit him out of nowhere, sending a sharp pang through his chest.
“No,” he shook his head, as if to push the idea away. “That’s impossible. Her grandmother wanted us married. She wouldn’t—couldn’t—do something like this.”
Yet, his chest tightened as doubt gnawed at him. He began pacing the room, each step quicker than the last.
His mind spiraled. He replayed every interaction fr

“Oh, there he is,” a man in a sharp suit approached the table, and Emmanuella stood up, smiling as she gave him a warm hug.The way Emmanuella spoke, smiled, and embraced him made it obvious—no words were needed. This man was clearly her boyfriend.As he reached the table, he greeted everyone with a casual “hello,” and settled into the seat right beside her.There were ten people gathered around the table, each sitting next to their significant other, enjoying the food, drinks, and the atmosphere—until Juliet spoke up. “Why don’t we all introduce our partners and share what they do for a living?”That’s when Anastasia saw right through Juliet’s intentions. Ever since they were kids, Juliet had always flaunted her status like a crown.Anyone beneath her was treated like dirt, and she made sure they knew their place. “A Lannister never mingles with the riff-raff,” she used to say, referencing her favorite show.The moment she asked for introductions, Anastasia could already tell what sh
Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0032 Anastasia Received a Call
Hearing Anastasia’s words, Juliet shot up from her seat. There was no way she was going to stand by while Anastasia disrespected her man. If Anastasia wanted to play dirty, she was ready to take it a step further.“Oh, so you think your family’s all pure and perfect? Why don’t you tell everyone how Grandma and Grandpa built the Stewart Empire? They didn’t do it by hard work; they did it by stealing—siphoning funds, to be exact!” Juliet’s voice was sharp, echoing through the room as the bombshell hit.Everyone froze, their shock evident. Emmanuella’s eyes widened, and even Anastasia, who was rarely caught off guard, stood still as if she had been slapped in the face. Her heart raced as she processed what she had just heard. Her entire life, she had believed in the integrity of the Stewart family. Her grandparents, especially, were always seen as hardworking, respected figures. The idea that they stole money?“Liar!” Anastasia’s voice cracked with anger, her fists clenched. “You’ll say

Anastasia took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling as she tried to calm herself. After a moment, she finally returned to the table.But as soon as she sat down, she could tell things had gone from bad to worse. Alex was standing now, and everyone, except Emmanuella, was throwing cruel comments at him.Even though Emmanuella wasn’t joining in, the sadness in her eyes as she watched Alex made Anastasia's heart twist. Something was terribly wrong."Alex, what’s happening?" she asked, gently placing her hand on his shoulder.Before Alex could respond, Juliet, always the loudest in the room, jumped in with her mocking tone."Your little boyfriend here’s been showing off since you left," Juliet sneered. "He said he’d throw you the most lavish wedding after graduation. You guys are graduating next week, right? So, what’s his plan? Sell his father’s apartment?"Juliet’s laughter rang through the air, cold and cutting. Michael, ever her partner in cruelty, laughed right along with her.
Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0034 Micheal Wanted To Teach Alex A Lesson
While Juliet and Michael were wrapped up in each other, exchanging kisses, Anastasia knew it was time for her to leave with Alex. Her heart felt heavy, weighed down by everything that had happened.But before she could go, she leaned in close to Emmanuella, whispering something into her ear. Emmanuella responded just as softly, sharing a moment that no one else could overhear. As curious as everyone might have been, no one knew what they said.Since Alex and Anastasia had driven Emmanuella to the gathering, she wasn’t ready to leave yet. Her boyfriend had arrived, and he would be the one taking her home.Now, it was just Alex and Anastasia in the car, and the silence between them felt thick with unspoken thoughts. Anastasia’s pulse quickened as she struggled to find the right words. Finally, after what felt like forever, she spoke.“Alex, why did you agree to that bet?” Her voice trembled, betraying the vulnerability she tried so hard to hide. “It was a trap—to break us up—and you walk
Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0035 The Family Meeting
When Anastasia got home, her mind was racing, but she knew what had to be done. She picked up her phone and dialed her grandma. “Ma, please call a family meeting about what you told me earlier,” she said firmly, her voice holding an undercurrent of tension.“Are you ready to accept our terms?” Nancy asked coldly. Anastasia’s silence on the other end of the line was all the answer she could give.***Not long after Anastasia hung up, Nancy wasted no time. She called Anastasia’s parents, relaying the news with brisk efficiency.Just as quickly, Nancy called Anastasia’s cousins, her uncle, and her aunts, and within the hour, the Stewart Mansion was filled with family members, the tension so thick it felt like you could cut it with a knife.They all gathered around the dining table, wine glasses placed before them as they exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what this sudden meeting was about.Anastasia stood, her face void of any warmth, her usual bright smile replaced with a somber expr
Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0036 Micheal On Alex Tail
Meanwhile, after Alex drove Anastasia home before she went to her family meeting, he returned to his own apartment.Since the moment he put on the ring, his life had changed. He rented a new, decent apartment for himself, but he was still keeping a low profile.Just as Alex was about to enter his apartment, Michael lifted his binoculars from his car, zooming in from the distance he had parked, to see where Alex was living.Certainly, Alex had stood up to him at the recent get-together, and Michael was not ready to let him go scot-free without teaching him a lesson.Back in his country, no one dared speak to him that way. But here, someone had, and he intended to make Alex a scapegoat.Now knowing where Alex lived, Michael reversed his car and went on with his day, returning to his girlfriend’s arms as if he hadn’t done anything.***Later that night, Michael dialed some numbers and spoke in Italian, “Andiamo da quel figlio di puttana adesso” (Let’s go to that son of a b*tch now).“Si,
Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0037 The Prenup Agreement
The next morning, Alex woke up from a bad dream, panting heavily like a dog that had just finished a race.Realizing it was only a dream, he noticed he had been sweating all night. He got out of bed, hoping that what he had seen wouldn’t come to pass.In the dream, a man he had never seen before had tried to kill him. Just as the man was about to strangle him, Alex jolted awake.He went into the bathroom, refreshed himself, and prepared an omelet for breakfast.As he finished prepping, his phone buzzed with a single ring. It wasn’t a call but a text. When he checked, he saw the name "Anastasia" appear in his thoughts.Then, he opened the message.“Good morning, love. As much as I hate to tell you this, I have to. Please come to my family villa ASAP. They want to see you.”Reading the text, Alex knew it was going to be another hectic morning at the Stewarts' villa. No doubt, Anastasia’s grandmother and family wanted him to back off from their daughter.He sighed, ate his breakfast, the
Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0038 They Thought He Was Bluffing
Hearing Nancy’s question, Alex simply smirked, the corners of his lips curving upward in silent amusement. There was no need to explain himself to the Stewarts. They had formed their opinions about him long ago, and nothing he could say now would change that. Besides, it didn’t matter to him. What they thought, their judgmental whispers, their scrutinizing eyes—all of it rolled off him like rain off a slicked surface.Instead, he turned his attention to Anastasia, his expression softening when their eyes met. A quiet resolve settled over him. With a subtle nod, he signaled it was time to go.Without a word, they rose from the dinner table, leaving behind the clinking of cutlery and the murmurs of disbelief that followed them. The stares, heavy and piercing, didn’t faze Alex in the slightest. To him, the world outside those walls held far more weight than the suffocating judgment within them.Nancy’s mouth fell open in sheer disbelief. She blinked rapidly, trying to process what had ju

Chapter 0241 Inside The office
Elisha stepped his foot into the office. It was quiet, elegant, and heavily guarded. He saw Alex sitting right behind his desk like the president he was—confident, composed, and commanding.“Mr….” Alex began, feigning ignorance of his name. He did it deliberately. He wanted Elisha to repeat his introduction, hoping that this time he might slip, say something different—something that would give Alex a reason to act.Receiving his handshake with a respectful bow, Elisha obliged. “Elisha Gunn, President of the Children’s Wealth Foundation Home,” he said firmly.A military general like him? He had gone on countless missions in the past—covert operations that demanded he maintain alternate identities. How could he forget something as simple as a name? Especially when the first name was real and the last name was fabricated? This was child's play for someone of his caliber.Alex nodded slowly, his sharp gaze fixed on Elisha. He gestured to the chair in front of his desk with a smooth wave o
Chapter 0240 Get To Alex
The crowd rasped their hands together again, and the applause was louder—yet gentle—at the same time. It wasn’t a thunderous roar, but rather a respectful acknowledgment of the moment. This was the sign that Alex was leaving the stage, heading somewhere private, as was customary for such events.But it didn’t mean the party was over—not by a long shot.Hence, knowing this all too well, Sonya leaned closer to Elisha. Her voice dropped into a whisper. “Like I said earlier. I will make it happen. But after I do, you better keep to your word, because I will be waiting for you.” Her words were soft, but they carried weight, a kind of veiled threat wrapped in promise, as they reached his ears.Elisha smiled again. Women were always the same, he thought—complex and calculating in the most familiar way.In this very moment, his mind drifted back to a memory during the time of war when he had been deployed to Afranister. It was a different place, a different time—but the manipulation was just
Chapter 0239 Alex Speech
“Ahem!” Ms. Sonya cleared her throat the moment she noticed Alex and Elisha holding their handshake longer than usual. The atmosphere around them shifted—subtle, but undeniable. She narrowed her eyes at the pair.Her gaze moved to Alex’s face. His expression was slightly squinted—like someone trying to process a gut feeling or a hidden message. There was tension in his eyes, not the typical expression worn when meeting a stranger.Then she turned her attention to Elisha. He wore a smirk. Not just any smirk—it was the kind that carried intent. Calculated. Confident. There was something behind it, something unspoken. But what exactly, she couldn’t tell.Maybe they were old buddies just reconnecting? she thought, attempting to shake the discomfort as she stepped back. Still, something about their exchange didn’t sit right.“Perhaps I’ll leave you two to catch up, huh?” she muttered awkwardly, trying to mask her confusion with a polite smile before walking away quickly, heels tapping shar
Chapter 0238 Alex Speech
“Shall we go see the president?” he gestured lively to the ladies.It wasn’t just a casual suggestion—it was a calculated move. As a general, he knew how certain kinds of people responded to power and presence. Ladies, especially those of high standing, often relished being seen in privileged company or known for being familiar with influential individuals. Elisha had learned this much from his interactions with them. Judging from everything he'd picked up since mingling in these circles, it was always about the appearance of access.“I have never spoken to the president one-on-one before. I dream, perhaps my lucky day is today,” he added, lowering his gaze toward the glass of wine in his hand. He crafted a look as pitiable as possible, as though this unfulfilled wish weighed on him deeply.Hearing that he had never spoken to President Alex before, the ladies gasped, covering their mouths in surprise.There were three of them in total—elegant and commanding. Each was a CEO of a differ

The Velmoria White Gate security opened their large gate, and different luxurious cars drove through.President Valet received the keys to repark every car that drove through the gate in the appropriate parking lot.Each dignified person, dressed in tuxedos and gowns, stepped down from their luxurious cars and walked straight through the White House front door.A gala party — a celebration for the success of the self-sufficient policy — was happening tonight. Hence, Elisha was going to leverage it for his mission.Like everybody else, Elisha drove right through the already opened gate. Beforehand, he had not known about the gala, but coincidentally, the gala was happening tonight, and wasn’t he the luckiest man?He smiled at the valet as he tossed him his car key, then confidently walked away from the door, blending effortlessly with the evening's elegance.He made sure to walk on the red carpet that was spread to glorify the staircase beyond the front door.

Chapter 0236 The Reservation
Elisha sat on the edge of the bed in his hotel room. The room was not like something he was used to.The small-sized bed, the small-sized room, the small-sized everything that was put in the room. It all felt almost suffocating. Back in Norway Bradad, his governmental-given residence was triple the size of this small-sized reservation in this hotel. But even so, he purposely chose the room.“It would be easier to get ready for the day ahead here than being in the bigger room," he convinced himself as he inspected this room before he paid for it. Sometimes, simplicity helped him focus.Ten minutes into sitting there, lost deep in thought about how he was going to execute his plan tomorrow, he heard the doorbell ring. Quickly shaking himself out of his mind maze, he rose to open it.Before opening, he already knew it was no one other than the personal shopper who had been summoned by the receptionist, judging by the needs he had earlier mentioned to her. He straightened his posture befo
Chapter 0235 Getting to The City
Five days and five nights passed, and Elisha was still walking towards the north in the jungle. His body was weary, his legs were swollen, and hunger gnawed at his insides like a wild beast. Each step grew heavier than the last.As the evening of the fifth day fell upon him, he found himself beneath the welcoming shade of an apple tree. He sat down heavily to catch his breath. This apple tree was the first edible fruit tree he had seen since he had started wandering through the dense and relentless jungle.To this discovery, he decided he would not miss this opportunist.Elisha looked up to the top of the tree and noticed a few apples already ripened under the orange sky. He reached out and touched the trunk, feeling the roughness of the tree bark beneath his palm. It was sturdy enough—something he could climb.Different countries, different weather, different soil, right? Back in Norway Bradad, apple trees were short. You could simply stretch out your hands and pluck even the apples
Chapter 0234 How to Evacuate
Being the president of Norway Bradad, Agata had access to a lot of things, including a military private helicopter.After Elisha gave him a solemn nod, he understood the assignment without needing further explanation. He stepped out of Agata’s office with a respectful bow and immediately headed to the military camp, his mind already preparing for the mission ahead.For a general like him, war and battles were no strangers. He was a man who had climbed from the bottom to the very top of the military hierarchy, earning every stripe and rank through sheer determination and skill.Forty years ago, Elisha had joined the military as a recruit. His days had been filled with rigorous training—brutal trainings so harsh that many recruits like himself lost their lives before they could even complete it. But Elisha survived. He endured.From that point, he began at the lowest rank. Through unwavering bravery, numerous achievements, and countless victories in wars, he continued to rise. His progr
Chapter 0233 Other Nation Followed Suit
Agata hung up the call suddenly, his breathing fast and heavy like an angry lion. He slammed the phone on the desk, clenching his fists as the fury boiled inside him.If Halsten had not threatened him, he’d have known exactly what to do. Even if it were not to later secure the oil well, he would have invaded Velmoria without a second thought and taught Alex a harsh lesson he wouldn’t forget.However, his hands were tied, and the feeling of helplessness gnawed at him. “Those motherfuckers!” Agata cursed bitterly as he pictured Halsten’s smug face and imagined giving him the weaning — right in his head again, harder this time.He exhaled sharply and moved toward his desk from the glass wall where he had been standing when he received the call. Just as he reached his chair, the heavy door creaked open, and Elisha stepped into his spacious presidential office.“Sir, I think you need to see this,” Elisha said, his voice tense with urgency.Agata turned sharply to face him.
