Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 176

With a mischievous smile, Felix asked, “Did something unusual happen between you and Goddess? Why are both of you looking at each other with such a strange gaze? Tell me now! Did something scandalous happen between you and her?”

When Casper heard that, he turned around and shot Felix a look of disdain. “If there really is a scandalous relationship between us, would I still be wasting time with you? I’d have announced it to the entire world.”

Felix sighed. “You’re right. If I’m lucky enough to be in a relationship with Ms. Clauder, I would definitely tell everyone. In fact, I’d even thank God for my good fortune.”

Smiling, Casper shot him another look. The three of them then walked to their seats and prepared to start lessons.

For this lesson, Giselle planned to talk about finance in ancient times.

When she talked about the previous dynasties, Giselle asked, “Would anyone here like to volunteer to describe the financial history of the ancient dynasties?”

Naturally, many guys were eager to answer her question.

At that moment, a random classmate suddenly yelled out loud, “Ms. Clauder, why don’t we let Casper, our teaching assistant, answer this question?”

Giselle frowned and asked, “What does this have to do with the teaching assistant?”

The person replied, “To show us his capabilities! We have to approve of the teaching assistant’s abilities, right? Only the competent ones can become the teaching assistant. If he isn’t, we won’t be willing to acknowledge him.”

Frowning, Giselle said, “My choice of the teaching assistant has nothing to do with his abilities. The only thing that matters is whether he’s suitable for the role, and that is for me to decide.”

After a slight pause, she continued, “According to what you said, why should I still look for a teaching assistant? Shouldn’t I just ask the top student in the faculty?”

The students, who were initially making a huge fuss out of it, immediately fell silent. They did not expect Giselle to defend Casper like that.

Perhaps due to this reason, the students started to look at Casper in an increasingly hostile manner.

However, he did not care about what others thought of him. In fact, he was secretly delighted that Giselle was defending him, which meant that he had a place in her heart. Casper could not help but think that he still stood a chance.

Perhaps, the situation was not as hopeless as he had thought.

Naturally, Giselle was completely oblivious to the fact that her words had rekindled Casper’s hope again.

Otherwise, she would have let him answer the question instead of speaking up on his behalf.

However, she could not stand seeing Casper bullied or wronged. After all, one would only show such concern toward people whom they cared about.

Casper just stared straight at Giselle, admiring her serious demeanor while lecturing.

The more he looked at her, the more enamored he was.

He only averted his gaze reluctantly after the lesson ended and Giselle left the classroom.

Normally, no one ever paid attention to these lessons, even Casper.

He was troubled about whether to go to the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce. What should I prepare for the Antique Fair next week? What should the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce prepare?

And then there’s that matter with Amelia.

On top of that, I have to worry about Remy and Giselle.

Everything’s an utter mess. Even so, I still need to sort everything out. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

After Jessica had that talk with Remy in the ward that day, he had been in a state of stupor.

He was at a loss, not knowing what he was doing. In fact, he probably did not even know where he was.

Initially, he refused to believe everything that Jessica had told him.

However, when all the evidence was laid out in front of him, he had no choice but to believe her.

Never would he have expected that his friends were actually telling him the truth. On the other hand, he was the fool in the situation.

Curling up into a ball, he clutched his head and mumbled, “What have I done? What have I done to my friends? What have I done to Casper?”

I’ve been a jerk, and a stupid one too. As he thought about it, he punched his chest furiously, wishing to punish himself and diminish the tormenting agony within him.

Jessica felt guilty as she looked at him. She knew that Remy, who was the most innocent of all, was also hurt the most by her actions.

At the thought of the despicable things she had done, Jessica’s guilt intensified.

When she saw Remy hitting himself with such anguish and rage, her heart ached so much that she tried to stop him. However, he shoved her away.

“Don’t touch me!” he yelled furiously.

“To think that I treated you so sincerely and trusted you so much! And because of that, I refused to believe my friends. In the end, it led to so many misunderstandings! But it turns out that you’ve been using me all along and deceiving me!” spat Remy agitatedly.

The tears that were brimming in his eyes finally streamed down his cheeks.

People often said that men only shed tears when they were utterly devastated.

“Don’t torture yourself like that anymore. I’m begging you!” pleaded Jessica as she cried.

“Don’t touch me! You should leave now. Let’s not meet each other ever again.” Remy sounded fatigued as if all the energy had been drained from his body.

Looking at how emotional he was, Jessica knew that she could not stay any longer as she did not want to agitate him further.

Before she left, she kept turning around to look at Remy.

However, he did not even spare her a second glance.

When she turned around and glanced at him, he was no longer looking at her.

Is this the retribution for my sins? This is living hell indeed.
