Larry, catching sight of Lewis, froze in place. His eyes widened in disbelief. First, because he expected Lewis to still be recovering from the attack he’d arranged, and second, because Lewis looked anything but the struggling student they used to mock. Dressed head-to-toe in Louis Vuitton, he stood with quiet confidence.

“Lewis Reynolds?” Larry called out, his voice laced with shock.

Sasha turned at the sound of the name and gasped when her eyes landed on Lewis. She couldn’t hide her surprise—he looked completely transformed. Clean-cut, stylish, and composed. The man standing before them was nothing like the one she had dumped not long ago.

Larry had brought Sasha there to buy her a phone. It was a premium store, one they assumed a "broke guy" like Lewis would never set foot in. Seeing him there challenged everything they thought they knew.

“Oh my God, is that Lewis?” Sasha thought, her brows tightening. “Why does he look so… put together?” A flicker of irritation crossed her face.

    The sales lady quickly wrapped up an iPhone 13 Pro Max for Larry, who then handed it to Sasha as a gift. She smiled brightly, accepting it with a warm hug and a soft kiss on his cheek. Larry casually completed the payment.Turning back to Lewis with a smug look, Larry said, “Next time you think of comparing yourself to someone like me, think twice.”He looked at Sasha. “Let’s go, babe.”Sasha shot Lewis a cold glare. “Filthy broke boy trying to act rich,” she sneered. Then the two of them walked out together.As they reached the parking area, Sasha’s eyes lit up at the sight of a sparkling clean Range Rover nearby. “Wow, this is gorgeous,” she said, walking closer to admire it.Larry nodded. “That’s a luxury model. Whoever owns this car must have serious money.”Sasha giggled and said she wanted to take some pictures with it, though she hesitated. “What if the owner comes out?”Larry waved it off. “Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll handle it. One rich person can’t be scared of an

    The sales lady looked confused and asked what they meant.Larry cleared his throat and said, “Do you really think just because he’s wearing some fake fancy clothes, he can afford any of this? He’s a well-known broke guy on campus. He can’t even manage three meals a day. So, what makes you think he can buy something that costs over a hundred dollars?”The sales lady blinked, surprised. She turned to look at Lewis again. He did look neat and well put together, not like someone struggling to eat.Lewis frowned when he heard Larry’s words. “What rubbish are you talking about?” he asked.Larry leaned in and said calmly, “Young man, you should always ask yourself if you can really afford something before chasing after it.”Sasha jumped in, pretending to be worried. “Yes, Lewis,” she said sweetly, “these items are really expensive. Are you sure you can pay for them?” Her voice was full of fake sympathy.The tension kept building, and Lewis’s patience was running out. He gave Sasha a sharp lo

    Asher gave a gentle nod. “I understand, young master. Feeling emotional is natural. Now’s your time—enjoy life to the fullest.”Lewis nodded back, a warm feeling in his chest. He started the engine and slowly drove around the garage, following Asher’s guidance. The thrill of it all made him feel alive.The next morning, Lewis was still tucked under the covers, enjoying the softness of the bed and the quiet luxury of his room. Then came a knock on the door.He opened his eyes and called out, “Who’s there?”A soft female voice answered, “Young master, breakfast is ready. Madam Sarah is waiting in the dining room.”“Alright, please tell my mom I’ll be there in a few minutes,” he replied, climbing out of bed. He stretched and looked around the elegant room.“I finally slept well… first time in over eighteen years,” he whispered to himself, a peaceful smile forming.After picking out a shirt from the neatly arranged wardrobe, he got ready. Stepping out, he made his way to the dining area.

    Stepping outside with Asher, Lewis’s eyes grew wide with wonder as he looked around the massive estate. The place was so big and beautiful, he felt like exploring it all would take hours.As he took in the view, he noticed several men dressed in black standing at different spots around the house.“Butler, who are those guys?” he asked, pointing at them.“They're the bodyguards,” Asher replied. “They’re very strong and trained to protect you if anything goes wrong.”Lewis nodded, about to say something else, when something else caught his eye.“Is that for my mom? And what kind of Rolls-Royce is that? It doesn’t look like the ones I’ve seen before.”Asher gave a small nod and said, “Yes, Master. That’s one of the cars your mom uses when she’s in Liberty City. It’s a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. It’s worth around $600,000.”“Damn! Over Half a million dollars?” Lewis mumbled, walking over to get a better look at the car.He opened the door and sat inside, soaking in the high-end interior. He ha

    Sarah gave a proud nod. “Yes, Skyris Quantum Innovations is part of our legacy—and now, it’s yours to lead.”“What?” Lewis froze in disbelief. His ears almost refused to accept what he'd just heard.Skyris Quantum was a name that carried weight in Liberty, known for its innovation, power, and prestige. Even if an astrologer had predicted this moment, he never would have believed he’d one day become the CEO of the nation’s top quantum tech company.He remembered how often students in his school’s Quantum Engineering program spoke with admiration about Skyris—how it was their ultimate dream to work there.And among those dreamers? His two best friends: David and Jude.A soft smile spread across Lewis’s face. “I’ll make sure their dreams come true once I take over as CEO,” he murmured.Sarah, catching the thoughtful expression on her son’s face, leaned in gently. “What is it, Lewis? What’s on your mind?”Lewis cleared his throat nervously. “But Mom, I don’t know anything about Quantum te
