Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 50

To his surprise, Lillian laughed so hard at his words that she was shaking. She also stared at him like he was an idiot.

“What are you laughing at?” Tom questioned.

Rolling her eyes, Lillian pointed to herself and challenged, “Do you take me for a gold digger? I’m sorry to tell you that my boyfriend, Casper Simpson, has just donated a million yesterday. Now, do you still think that you are richer than him?”

“Hmph, that’s nothing. His dad probably gave him the money anyway. What is so great about him when he is merely spending someone else’s money?” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

After a short pause, Tom gulped and added, “If he is capable enough, he should make money on his own, and I will hail him as a true hero then. Lillian, if you go with him, you will likely end up poor. When you go hungry in the future, it’ll be too late to regret the decisions you made.”

“Regret? I will never regret the things I do. Casper will always be mine!” Lilian stubbornly declared with a serious look on her face.

At the same time, her grip around Casper’s arm tightened, and she plastered herself to his side.

“Lillian, both of you aren’t even married. Since you haven’t reached the endgame, I still stand a chance with you.” Turning to Casper, Tom sneered, “What can you even provide for her? Hey, take the initiative to call it quits. I can give you a hundred thousand in return.”

Since he could not get through to Lillian, he decided to provoke Casper instead. With a smirk on his face, he expected the latter to back off, given that a reward was involved.

Additionally, there was no way he could believe that the person, who donated the million and took the whole school by storm, was Casper. He thought it was probably another boy from a wealthy family that

went by the same name. After all, Casper was standing before him clad in cheap clothing.

Seeing that Casper did not respond, Tom raised the stakes. “Two hundred thousand! Hey, it is a large sum of money, and you can do lots of things with it. First and foremost, you could buy a few sets of proper clothing and shoes.”

“What an immature move! Do you think I will leave because of two hundred thousand? As far as I am concerned, no one can put a price on her,” Casper blurted.

He could not stand there idly after being humiliated by Tom. If he did nothing, it would only boost the other party’s ego.

However, as soon as those words left his mouth, he regretted it because Lillian hugged his arm closer and was almost forcing herself into his embrace.

“Priceless? I’ve seen many people like you, so don’t try to act high and mighty. Name me a price then. How about three hundred thousand? Otherwise, would five hundred thousand be enough?”

Tom was about to explode as he watched Lillian scoot closer to Casper. Five hundred thousand was the highest he could go. If it went any higher, he would have to give up on her.

“How about half a million? No… make it five million. As soon as I receive that amount, I can give her to you. Deal?” Casper calmly stated.

He glanced at Lillian, who was staring at him with loving eyes, before gesturing at her.

This time, he looked prepared to give up on Lillian as long as he received the money.

“You… you are ridiculous!”

Tom shook with anger, and lasers were shooting out from his eyes.

“What’s wrong? How is this ridiculous? If Lillian goes with you, she will be five million in debt. It just so happens that I am her creditor. If you don’t believe me, you can check with her.”

Shrugging, Casper summarized, “Well, she sold herself to be my woman. If you want to have her, you will have to pay me five million!”

“Haha, are you trying to cheat me? You can dream on!” Tom panicked and quickly turned to yell at Lilian, “You are a slut. Don’t you dare follow me! I’m sure you will regret being with this jerk. Whatever, I’m sure I’ll be able to get another woman with my money.”

Then, he shot her a dirty look before he strode angrily away. Dumping the bouquet he bought into a bin, he started to let out a string of vulgarities.

On the other hand, Casper felt it was a pity to get rid of such beautiful flowers, so he hurriedly headed to the bin. Lillian, whose hands were still on his arm, followed him there. At first glance, they looked like a couple.

“It’s such a waste to throw away such pretty flowers.”

Picking up the bouquet, he offered, “Lilian, these look lovely. You can take it back to your room as a decoration.”

“It does look nice, but I don’t need it as a decoration. I want to hold it instead,” Lilian muttered with a dreamy look in her eyes.

“This is the first bouquet you’ve ever given me, and I love it.”

She looked contented with the bright smile on her face.

Seeing the expression on Lilian’s face, Casper could feel a headache coming. Oh no, I am in deep shit. This woman is smitten.

“Casper, that was an amazing act. I can’t believe that the guy wanted to win over her with one hundred thousand,” Felix praised. Walking over to them, he gave his friend a thumbs up.

The three of the boys had witnessed what Casper did earlier.

“Where is Wendy? Let’s not waste our precious time and act according to our plans,” Casper tried to switch the topic and brought up their purpose here in the first place.

“Give her a moment. She will be here soon!”

Taking his phone out, Felix dialled Wendy’s number. Unfortunately, barely two tones were heard when she rejected his call.

It turned out that she was nearby. Wendy and her three other friends, all in light makeup ran towards them, excitedly.

Naturally, Wendy stood by Felix’s side. Looking at her, she appeared to be petite and was extremely beautiful.

Casper recognized Felix’s girlfriend. She did accounting and fared quite well in class.

“Casper, all of us are here. Let’s head to Terragon Hill first! It’s been so long since I last got some exercise or had the chance to take in some fresh air,” Felix suggested. He seemed like the leader of the day, in charge of the itinerary for the day.

The rest did not have differing views as they had already discussed it in the dorm. It was no coincidence that they were all wearing sneakers.

Even Lillian was in sneakers. When Wendy arrived with her friends, Lilian blended in with them. They talked and laughed together as though they were good friends from before.

Noticing how Lillian desired to be part of his social circle, Casper could only shake his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.

Terragon Hill was in the outskirts of Horington. To head there, it was inconvenient for all nine of them to take the bus. Besides, if they spend too much time on the hill, they might not be able to get a taxi to return to school.
