Hannah felt like she was going to throw up after looking at Fred for a while. He was neither handsome nor all that bad looking. But to her, that was the worst looking person that she had seen all her life.
"How could someone exist that could still be this ugly?" She muttered aloud not even caring that someone's feeling was getting trampled upon by her words.
Fred bowed his head slightly, wishing already that the ground would open up and swallow him out of the embarrassment that he had experienced.
After putting on so much that he was going to look presentable, it still wasn't enough.
Hw thought about Riley that was always good looking even though he had to always to hard labor and didn't even have a skin care routine. But even with his skin care, it was more like his skin didn't care at all.
For the first time, he was jealous of Riley but soon snapped the thoughts off from his head.
"What are you even thinking about, Fred." He soon whispered to himself and braised himself up.
She replied with an irritated snort before turning around as though she had not seen anyone at all.
Fred could feel his heart dropping to the bottom of his feet seeing the reaction that he had been given and he felt truly bad.
Karl also did this and felt bad for his friends. If they didn't like him, they could have just said it instead of giving such a reaction.
The irritated duo quickly turned around ignoring his greeting as they continued talking to each other as though they had never even seen anyone.
Fred could feel a large lump going down his throat already. He wasn't good-looking. However, he wasn't ugly either.
"It's been such a long time since I saw someone this looking." Hannah snorted.
"Even if I was added to a bowl filled with oil I don't think that I will ever get that way." They snorted.
Fred was beginning to feel bad and Karl could feel the anger rising inside of him but was gradually able to control his anger. They were still Sarah's friends anyway.
To break the awkwardness in the place, he quickly walked off to his roommates and patted them on the shoulders.
"Why don't we get seated." He gestured to the seats.
Immediately after he said these words, Hannah and Tina quickly gathered their chairs towards each other, leaving Fred and Eddie to themselves.
They all sat down, all sitting next to each other.
"Sarah. Do you care to dance with me tonight? You don't expect me to be with one of those eh." She paused, taking a clean sweep at both of them.
"Sure. I would love to have a dance with you." She replied.
Stacy was utterly disappointed. After seizing up everyone on the basketball team, she was hoping that she would find someone like Karl. Even though not that rich, it was still manageable.
She noticed that there were only two of them who were roommates with Karl instead of three.
"Huh! Isn't there supposed to be four people in your room? How come there are only three of you here??" Inquired Stacy.
"Oh! The last person. Riley would be here pretty soon. He went out to make a call." Karl explained.
These words that he just spoke made her fluster with a smile. She already did all the calculations in her head.
"Two non-basketball-playing ugly ducklings. And two ripped handsome dudes. The last one just has to be super quiet. There is no way that the captain of the school's basketball team wouldn't have at least a member of his team as his roommate." The thoughts filled her mind.
"At least, I still got a chance and I am not going to appear before everyone as single for another year." Stacy was still smiling as she whispered her thoughts to herself.
Her intuition made her pop out a mirror from her Louis Vuitton bag and stare at it. She smiled to herself pushing her boobs out to the limelight, making her even more attractive.
'Husbie. Where are you? Your dearest is waiting.,
The events that lay before them made it obvious to Karl and his Sarah. that she was anticipating meeting with Riley.
Karl's face broke up into a cold sweat. Though Riley didn't look bad, his was too ordinary for someone like Stacy who was a wealthy millionaire heir.
Even Stacy was a little bit uneasy, trying to calm her down already so that she was not going to be too disappointed when she saw the person that was coming in.
"Stacy. I think that you are good looking as you are already. There is no need for you to do too much." She said,
"Too much? Too much isn't even good enough, I have to look perfect." Stacy replied, still working on her hair without even turning around to face the others.
He was worried that there was going to be a disaster there.
The other duo hearing that someone else was coming were suddenly interested and their eyes lit up.
"Huh? Someone else is coming? Tell us, Karl, is he handsome?" They Inquired almost at the same time.
A lump went down his spine again and it was like he was under some sort of pressure.
'What am I going to tell them now.' He was confused about what he was going to say.
"He isn't bad-looking." Sarah stepped in for Karl.
"Huh!" Hannah snorted.
"Not bad looking! You are trying to make your girlfriend sound almighty, aren't you? Why don't Karl tell us himself." Tina ventured.
"Well is handsome. Depending on the qualities that you are searching for in a guy. However, I don't think that you guys should be expecting too much." He added with a tensed chuckle.
They nodded abruptly, turning around with large grins on their faces.
They thought that Karl was trying to act modest and that whoever was coming was differently hot.
They stared at Stacy with the glaring looks of jealousy in their eyes wishing that they were the ones that had this person instead.
However, she was the celebrant of the event and it would only be normal to allow her to have the best...
"At least he will not be as wonderful looking as those golden Goose.". Hannah said loud enough for Fred and Eddie to hear her words with a mighty snort.
They looked away, hoping that the moment was not going to be too awkward.
At that moment, Karl received a call from Riley and he picked the phone up immediately.
"Hey, Karl. Where are you guys? I have been searching all over for you. This place is kinda huge." Riley mustered from the other end of the phone.
"Oh. Just tell me where you are, I am going to catch up with you."
Riley filled Karl in with the information about where he was at the moment, after which he walked right out to see him...
Stacy had already applied a few extra layers of makeup on her face. Doing all that she could to impress this person who was coming over
A few moments later, Karl could be seen walking in with someone beside him.
Quickly, Stacy replaced her makeup kits in her bag and placed the most stunning smile on her face. She was a goddess.
However, when he looked at him, her heart fell to the bottom of her feet and the smile that had been meant to win him over froze almost in an instant.
A few moments later, her face so red with anger, remembering what had happened between them and how he had ruined her day
Riley also recognized that person. Who could he ever forget the face of the person who had rejected his billion-dollar card?
The others also looked over. They had already given up this guy for Stacy since she was the celebrant.
However, it wasn't going to be out of place to behold some hot guy with the perfect smile.
However, when they looked at him. They quickly lost interest. What is the use of a good face when you look like someone who just got picked from the trash?
They were most sorry for Stacy who had put in so much effort to impress such a dumb kin. They looked at her, to console her only to notice the furious gaze laced all over her face.
"Stacy, are you okay?" Sarah was the first to inquire...
Of course, it was enough to feel disappointed after seeing how badly the person that was standing before her looked. But for her face to be twisted with this much anger, there had to be something more to it.
For a while, Stacy could not say anything and only kept on staring at Riley with the anger gradually rising in her.
"This is the guy that I had told you guys about. The one that had ruined the dress that I got for five hundred dollars." She announced with her hands tapping the table furiously.
"Huh!" Hannah and Tina exclaimed almost immediately.
"This is the bitch? He is even more pitiful looking than I had thought." Tina added.

Chapter 70
Hearing this, Riley only frowned deeper, his anger rising. Gina had expected him to immediately kneel, plead, and realize his grave mistake. Instead, Riley stepped forward boldly, closing the distance between them.“So, you are not even an employee here? Your father is?” he said calmly, his voice carrying across the silent lobby.Everyone gasped. Whispers erupted instantly. “Is he crazy?” one employee muttered. “Doesn’t he need his job?” Another added, “With this, he’s already gone.”Gina couldn’t believe her ears. She scoffed loudly, her face contorting in fury. “Are you really saying this? Ugh! You just looked down on me!”Riley shook his head. “This isn’t looking down on you. It’s just a simple fact. You are not an employee, your father is and yet you are bullying someone who’s just trying to do her job. How can you be such a brat?”Gina’s anger exploded. “Watch what you say!” she shouted, raising her hand high to smack Riley across the face. But he caught her wrist effortlessly mi

Riley stopped on his track and watched the situation properly, his eyes narrowing as the scene unfolded in the grand lobby of Vortex Enterprises. The air was thick with tension. Employees lingered nearby, pretending to check their phones or shuffle papers, but no one dared intervene. Mira, stood with her head bowed, clutching a mop tightly in her trembling hands. Her uniform was slightly damp from whatever liquid had spilled during the collision.“I’m sorry,” Mira whispered, her voice barely audible. “I will wash the clothes for you and clean them properly. Please, it was an accident.”Gina, the sharply dressed young woman in designer heels and a pristine white blouse now bearing a faint stain, let out a mocking laugh. “Wash it? Do you know how much this costs, you pathetic little bitch? Washing won’t fix anything. You could never afford to replace it even if you worked here for ten years. So get on your knees and apologize properly. That's the only way you can get out of this.”Mi

Mr. Erold and Orelan frowned, unable to fathom what was going on. How could Mr. Trey bow to Riley and even call him boss?Meanwhile, Riley smiled and asked, “Have they signed it?”.Mr. Trey nodded. “Yes, boss… they have signed it.”Orelan was the first to speak out. “What the hell is happening? Why are you bowing to him and calling him master? Did you mistake him for someone else?” Mr. Erold chimed in, “Yes, Mr. Trey, what’s going on here?”Mr. Trey then faced them and gave them a proper explanation. “Young Master Riley here is my boss, and you have fallen into our perfect trap. He was the one behind me, the one who gave me money to invest in you, and he even made sure you were exposed the very day you looked up on, so everyone could see how horrible you are.”Mr. Erold scoffed, unable to believe this. “So, you’re here telling me that Riley, this schoolboy, was the one behind the 400 million dollars?”Trey nodded. “Yes. He is the one. He paid it in full.”Orleans frowned and mumbled,
Chapter 67
Over the next few days, the entire city was in chaos.The news of Mr. Erold’s arrest spread like wildfire. The News outlets are on it. Investigation was still going on on it. And at the center of it all was Jett.She had gone from an unknown engineer to the most talked-about name in the country within forty-eight hours. Interviews flooded in. Government officials publicly acknowledged her as the rightful creator of the MyLab Smartwatch.Even the flaw she exposed became a major discussion point. The AS genotype and O blood group limitation was now being studied openly, and she had already promised to return to her lab to fix it properly and relaunch a corrected version.Meanwhile, everything Mr. Erold had built collapsed.His company was sealed. And all of his investors are already gone.××××Mr. Erold sat in the cold cell staring at the wall for hours without speaking. The same man who once walked into boardrooms with pride now flinched at every sound in the corridor.He had tried ev

Mr. Erold tried to deny it immediately.“That proves nothing!” he shouted, his voice cracking badly now. “She edited it. She fabricated everything. This woman is trying to ruin me!”But Jetty was already prepared for that.Without flinching, she opened another file on her phone, then another, then another. One recording after the other. Some were audio, some were videos. Every single one carried the same thing, Mr. Erold’s voice, his threats, and worst of all, his repeated attempts to force himself on her, sexually assaulting her. The hall went dead silent as another clip played. Gasps kept breaking through the hall. This was enough to charge him to prison. “Oh my God…”“So she really built it…”“He stole everything from her…”“He even assaulted her?”“What kind of monster is this?”Mr. Erold’s lips trembled. He opened his mouth again to deny it, but the words wouldn’t come out properly anymore. He could only stand there mumbling nonsense under his breath while the room turned on
Chapter 65
Jetty swallowed.She knew exactly why the watch was failing.She had built it herself. She knew every limitation, every blind spot, every unfinished flaw in that system. And she had only ever revealed that weakness to one person, which was the anonymous contact. Which meant the person texting her now was most likely behind this entire sabotage. They had deliberately forced the watch into its weak point to expose Erold publicly.Her lips slowly curled.This was her moment.Just then, one of the state senators shot to his feet, his face thunderous as he pointed straight at Mr. Erold.“You told us this was a breakthrough!” he barked. “You made the government endorse this launch. You invited foreign guests to witness it. Investors came here because of your promise. And now you stand here embarrassing all of us with this rubbish?”Mr. Erold looked like he was about to collapse.“N-No, sir, please,” he stammered, clutching the microphone tightly. “I would never have invited all of you if I w
