The Richest Student Heir

Chapter 001 - Fiona's Birthday Party

A young man hurriedly walked while carrying a big doll in his hands. His lips curled into a smile as he imagined with excitement how his girlfriend would react when she received his gift.

"I'm sure Fiona will love this doll. Thank goodness I was able to buy it suddenly. Thanks to my kind boss for lending me money for this." His tone was filled with gratitude.

Tonight Fiona Laurent held a luxurious party for her 21st birthday in a big building in the city. As her boyfriend, Gabriel Bruhn certainly would not miss the party.

Gabriel was initially surprised to hear from his friend that Fiona was holding a luxurious party tonight, because 2 days ago, Fiona told him that she did not celebrate her birthday.

Suddenly that afternoon, Gabriel immediately looked for a gift for his girlfriend. Only 20 dollars left in his pocket, so he decided to borrow money from his boss first and would replace it with his working hours.

Gabriel had arrived in front of the party building. The party carried the theme "Elegant Old Money" so everyone there wore elegant clothes with a dominance of black, cream, white, and maroon. Diamond and gold jewelry adorned the ladies, radiating elegance. Meanwhile, the male guests wore designer suits that gave off a classic impression.

Gabriel stood in front of the building while observing the guests. He was wearing dark jeans and a white t-shirt.

“I think I wore the wrong costume,” he muttered. He had no idea about the theme of Fiona’s birthday party. But if he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have had the money to buy himself a suit either.

He dared to step into the building. Arriving at the entrance, his steps were stopped by a doorman.

“Stop!” the doorman exclaimed. “Can you show me your invitation?” he inquired. The doorman scanned Gabriel’s appearance from head to toe. He frowned in wonder seeing Gabriel’s clothes that were different from the other guests.

“Invitation?” Gabriel looked puzzled. “I didn’t get an invitation to this party,” he replied as he shrug casually.

The doorman huffed. “That means you’re showing up here uninvited. So please leave!” he ordered firmly.

“Wait! I didn’t get an invitation to this party, but I am Fiona Laurent’s boyfriend,” Gabriel explained.

Gabriel’s words left the doorman in disbelief. The doorman chuckled. “If you are Fiona Laurent’s boyfriend, then I am her future husband. Get out of here quickly, or I will drag you!” he ordered in an assertive tone.

Gabriel shook his head. “Please, don’t! I have proof that I am indeed her boyfriend.” He swiftly opened his phone and showed a photo of him and Fiona.

In the photo, Fiona was seen embracing Gabriel’s arm. Not just one photo, but Gabriel also showed other photos to convince him.

“Wow, is this real?” the doorman asked in doubt.

“Of course! Now you believe that she is my girlfriend, don't you?” retorted Gabriel as he let out a smug smile.

Seeing Gabriel who looked so convincing, the doorman finally invited him to enter the building.

Gabriel looked around to find Fiona. A bright smile played on his lips as he saw the lady in his sight. “There she is.” He rushed to Fiona.

When Fiona was chatting with her 2 friends, her gaze accidentally caught Gabriel. She was taken aback and immediately looked away.

“What the hell is he doing here?” she grumbled.

Gabriel made his way to Fiona and spoke. “Happy birthday, my dear Fiona!”

His arrival attracted the attention of the other guests, especially when they saw the big doll he was carrying. Fiona’s two friends, Penelope and Barbara chuckled in astonishment.

“Did I hear wrong, or did this guy just call you 'my dear Fiona'?” asked Penelope as she turned to Fiona. She burst into laughter.

Barbara scanned Gabriel’s appearance with a condescending gaze. “Isn’t he the son of a cleaner? Fiona, I didn’t know you invited him.” A mix of surprise and astonishment filled her tone.

“Or maybe he is Fiona’s special guest?” Penelope guessed teasingly.

“Hello dude, are you lost?” Barbara chimed in.

Fiona couldn’t hold back her embarrassment. She pulled Gabriel’s hand and led him away from there.

“Fiona, where are you taking me?” asked Gabriel.

Their steps stopped at a corner. Fiona flung Gabriel’s hand away in annoyance.

“Gabriel, what on earth are you doing here?” she exclaimed.

Gabriel’s smile faded when he saw Fiona’s anger. “Sorry Fiona, I just wanted to come to your birthday party. I found out about this party from my friend this afternoon. You said you didn’t want to celebrate your birthday, then what’s all this?”

Fiona folded her arms across her stomach as she smirked. “I mean, I don’t want to celebrate my birthday with you,” she admitted.

His eyes widened in disbelief. “What? But I’m your boyfriend."

“Hey, shut up!” Fiona exclaimed as she covered his mouth with her palm. She looked around her surroundings warily, afraid that the other guests would hear Gabriel’s words.

Fiona took a deep breath before speaking. Her tone lowered but remained firm. “Okay, Gabriel. I don’t want to be rude to you. So, I ask you to leave right now!” she ordered as she gestured her hand toward the exit.

Gabriel frowned. “But why? I just want to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. Am I wrong, Fiona? Why are you telling me to leave? I even brought this gift for you.” He handed over the doll he brought, hoping that it would melt her heart.

Instead of liking it, Fiona shuddered in disgust. “Eww, where did you get this ugly doll? Don’t tell me you got it from a flea market,” she taunted.

Feeling disappointed, Gabriel retorted. “How could you say that? I even borrowed money from my boss to buy this doll, but you—”

Before he finished his sentence, she interrupted him. “I don’t want to hear another word. You better get out of here otherwise you’ll get worse from me!” she grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the door.

“Fiona, please! Why did you do this to me?” he demanded an explanation, but Fiona ignored him.

When they arrived at the entrance, they were greeted by the sight of a Rolls Royce Ghost car with a Harley-Davidson biker gang behind it. Fiona quickly released her grip from Gabriel’s hand and ran towards the car.

Gabriel stood there confused. He watched Fiona who seemed to be preparing to greet someone.

The driver alighted from the car and opened the door. The car door opened and revealed a young man in formal attire getting out of the luxury car. The man’s appearance exuded an impression of elegance and authority.
