“Was I wrong,will this penniless waiter have the money to join the lunch party?”
“We have so many parties together as a class but have you ever seen him join one”Natasha responded while rolling her eyes.
“I'll pay for Richard if it doesn't have the money.Is it really necessary for all of you to humiliate him like this?” said Oliver who step forward. He could not stand them anymore.
“Hey Oliver,since you are so wealthy why don't you pay for me as well?”Dominic shouted with a poker face after he and heard what Oliver said.
Oliver turned to glance at Dominic. A hint of uncertainty flashed across its eyes.Even though Oliver's family was doing quite well,his family's wealth was nothing compared to Dominic who was from the Prestigious Prescott family therefore he could only shut up.
“I'll pay for Richard. We are all classmate.Was all of these necessary?”Christabel yelled with a frown.She could not stand them too.
Suddenly,Richard said confidently, “Christabel you don't have to pay for me I have the money!”
When Richard's classmates heard him say that,they were all stunned.All of them had strange expressions.
None of them expected Richard to agree to come to the lunch outing out of the blue!
Usually,Richard did not join them matter the kind of get-together that was held.There was only one reason behind it,he had no money.
When Dominic heard Richard say that he had the money,Dominic immediately laughed.”Yeah,right”.The poor waiter has the money to join a lunch party? Richard,how about this.Why don't you treat the whole class the meal"Dominic said to intimidate Richard.
“Dominic, don't joke around.If the pauper treats all of us to a meal,he will have to starve till death.I will definitely lick his shoe if that happens”.One of Richard's classmates shouted arrogantly.
Richard said nonchalantly, “Alright”.Since everyone wants me to treat the class to a meal that badly,then I will treat everyone to a meal!”
His classmate froze in shock on hearing Richard's words.Nobody expected Richard to agree to Dominic's request.
After Dominic heard Richard say that he would treat everyone to a meal,a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
He could not understand it. Why would a pauper like Richard,who works as a waiter to earn money,suddenly turn out to be someone ready to spend a lot of money on treating everyone to a meal?
Jane was looking at Richard in shock.However,she quickly regained her composure.Richard was definitely posing.How could he possibly have the money to treat everyone to a meal?
Otherwise,she would definitely feel so embarrassed right now.
In her eyes,Richard is a loser who did not strive to improve himself.Not only was he penniless,he was also poser!
“What's up with Richard today? Charles was also puzzled right now.
“I have no idea”.Maybe he can't get over how his girlfriend left him for someone else so to feel fulfilled he agreed”.
Oliver whispered.Then he added, “ Treating the whole class to a meal would just cost $2,000.In the worst case scenario,the two of us will foot the bill for him!”.
“Alright if you split it in half, it will be one thousand each.”
Charles noded.At that moment he felt a little sympathetic towards Richard.
“What's gotten into Richard? Not only are you joining the lunch party, but you're also treating us to a meal.Could it be that you are just talking big?” Isabella teased Richard with contempt.
“Yeah.If you're really treating us to a meal,then Kelvin would have to lick your shoe.” Lilian added.
Kelvin Stone was the classmate of Richard who said he will lick Richard's shoe if he treats everyone to a meal.
“Well,isn't it just a meal?” Richard responded indifferently.He then turned to Kelvin and said,"When will you give everyone a show of you licking my shoe.”
“If you have the guts to treat us then I have the guts to lick your shoe”
“However, you're not planning on taking us to a food court right?”Kelvin spoke to Richard disdainfully.
“Richard worked hard to treat us to a meal.How could we possibly go to a food court?It should at least be Seven Stars” Dominic jeered.
“Seven Stars?”
Richard could not help but shake his head when he heard Dominic words.
“Yes, exactly .Richard, if you treat us to a meal at Seven Stars I will lick your shoe with my mouth for everyone to see,"Melvin Added.
“Since you intend to treat everyone to a meal,Seven Star restaurant l shouldn't be a problem right?”asked Dominic with a vile smirk.
“No problem seven star restaurant it is!” Richard replied nonchalantly.
Once again his classmate were stunned by his words.
All of them knew that seven star restaurant was where the top and influential individuals go to for a meal.
Treating the whole class to a meal would cost at least fifty thousand dollars.How could Richard possibly afford it?.
“Has Richard gone crazy? Why did he agree to it?”Charles gasped lowly. If they went to a normal food court,both he and oliver could afford to pay for the meal if they both each paid half.
However,if it was Seven Star restaurants the two of them would not even be able to afford it even if they sold themselves for money!
“Going to seven star restaurants isn't a problem.However I have one condition”.
At that moment Richard suddenly spoke.
What's the condition Dominic aaked while looking at Richard.
“For today's lunch party at Seven Star restaurant,you and I divide the check by fifty-fifty how does that sound?”.
“Fifty-fifty is fine by me”
Dominic sneered and said with contempt, “Not a problem.The cost for today's lunch party,we will split it fifty-fifty.
“Dominic you are a champ!”
“Wow I'm actually going to dine at seven star restaurants!”
Their classmates burst into cheers when they heard what Dominic said.
A meal at seven star restaurant with this many people would cause at least $50,000.
Even though it was only half of the check it still amounted to more than twenty thousand.
Even though this pained Dominic a little, it did not mean that he could not afford the amount.On the contrary, he feels like Richard could not shell out the amount of money.
“Richard just you wait. I will see what you will do when we pay for the check later!”
Dominic looked at Richard back and smirked.

The room buzzed with energy as the discussions about the orphanage’s future unfolded, everyone contributing ideas, sharing experiences, and offering support. It had been a productive morning, filled with anticipation and a collective sense of purpose. For Richard, the experience had been grounding. It was the first time in a long while that he’d felt connected to something outside of his empire—something that truly mattered. The group of former residents, now successful in their own ways, seemed eager to work together to rebuild what had once been their home.The atmosphere was warm, cooperative, and filled with optimism. Richard had already made promises to use his resources to help raise funds, and others had offered their support in various forms. The enthusiasm in the room was contagious. As the meeting continued, it became clear that no one was willing to let the orphanage fall into ruin. Everyone here understood the importance of the place, not only because it had given them a c

“We can make this happen,” Richard continued, his voice steady but filled with conviction. “I’ll personally take charge of the fundraising efforts. I’ll reach out to my contacts and secure corporate sponsorships. And I’ll make sure we get the renovations we need.”The others nodded, some of them already looking at Richard with newfound hope. He had always been a leader, even as a child, and now, with the resources and influence at his disposal, he knew he could make a real difference.The energy in the room was high, filled with the collective determination of the former residents of the orphanage. Ideas flowed like a river, each person contributing something valuable to the effort of saving the place that had once been their home. The meeting had been productive, and there was a sense of camaraderie, as people from all walks of life came together with a singular goal: to restore the orphanage to its former glory.Richard sat quietly, taking in the discussions with a thoughtful expres
Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Two
The large, polished windows of Richard's mansion offered a view of the city below. He had spent the better part of the past few weeks reclaiming what was rightfully his, maneuvering through legal battles and business challenges. The weight of those battles had been exhausting, but at least the storm seemed to be passing. His empire was starting to rebuild itself, piece by piece, but Richard knew that he couldn’t rest on his laurels. He had far more to give, far more to achieve.As he sat in the warmth of his home, sipping on a glass of water, his phone vibrated in his pocket. The familiar ping caught his attention, and Richard glanced down to see the notification. It was from an email address he hadn’t expected to hear from. An email from the orphanage—the very place that had shaped his childhood, the place where he had learned the true meaning of survival.His heart skipped a beat as he read the subject line: Urgent: Orphanage in Need of Help.Opening the email, Richard felt a pang o
Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-One
Richard stood in front of his mansion, the cold wind biting at his face as he stared up at the imposing gates. He had been here many times before, but this time, there was no sense of pride or ownership in his heart. Only anger. Anger at Linda for taking everything from him, and anger at himself for being manipulated. He could still hear the echo of her voice in his mind—the way she had treated him, the lies she had spun, and the way she had used his son, Jacob, as a pawn in her game.The gates, once a symbol of power and wealth, now felt like an impenetrable fortress. The guards at the entrance recognized Richard immediately but gave him no special treatment. Linda’s influence had extended far beyond the walls of the house, and the tight security measures she had put in place made it clear that she was prepared for any attempt to reclaim the empire she had stolen.But Richard wasn’t afraid. If anything, the weight of the truth he now held in his hands made him more determined than ev
Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty
Richard’s heart skipped a beat, his stomach twisting with dread. "What do you mean?"Dr. Matthews looked down at the floor for a moment, as if he were gathering his thoughts. “The results of the DNA test… they were fake.”Richard’s jaw dropped. “What?”The doctor wiped a tear from his cheek before looking Richard in the eye. “I never intended for you to find out like this. But it’s the truth. Linda… she approached me months ago. She offered me a hefty sum to manipulate the results. She promised me a generous reward when she gained control of the Morgan Empire—she said she’d make sure I was well taken care of if I helped her claim the empire as her own.”Richard’s chest tightened. He felt as though the air had been sucked from the room. “So you lied to me. You fabricated the results. That boy…” Richard trailed off, struggling to understand what he was hearing. “He’s not my son?”Dr. Matthews’ face twisted with regret. “No. I’m sorry, Richard. He’s not your son. Linda used him as a pawn
Chapter Four Hundred and Nineteen
The drive to Dr. Matthews’ home felt like an eternity. The weight of the vial in Richard’s pocket seemed to grow heavier with each passing minute. When they finally arrived at the doctor’s house, Richard followed him inside, where a soft light emanated from the living room. In the corner of the room lay a small, frail boy, barely older than six or seven. His skin was pale, his breath shallow.Dr. Matthews rushed to his son’s side, his face etched with worry. “Jacob,” he whispered, gently shaking the boy awake. “Jacob, I’ve got something for you.”Richard watched from the doorway as Dr. Matthews carefully opened the vial of Xan Ling. With shaking hands, he poured a single drop onto his son’s tongue. The boy stirred, his eyelids fluttering, but there was no immediate reaction. Richard could feel the tension mounting in the room.“Please,” Dr. Matthews whispered, almost pleading.For a moment, nothing happened. But then, slowly, Jacob’s breathing began to steady. His color seemed to retu
