Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 75

Hence, no one ever asked her to join them for a meal. They acted as if she was a plague and distanced themselves from her.

Amelia was, in effect, a frightened bunny living amongst a pack of wolves in the wildest rainforest.

Yet, Casper inspired a different emotion within her. His sincerity and warmth filled her, even though he was just being a good friend.

Her eyes stung once more, and tears started gathering again.

She felt like crying.

“Before that, though, you should go change out of your clothes and put on something dry. You’re drenched, and you’ll catch a cold even if it is summer,” said Casper as he turned around and stared at Amelia’s wet clothes.

“Okay,” replied Amelia. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

She nodded firmly. That gesture got tears to roll down her eyes.

That was a tear of joy. She had never had a friend before, and she definitely didn’t know what it was like to have another man caring for her. All that happiness made it so that she couldn’t hold her emotions in anymore, and her tears reacted to that.

“Ah, don’t cry. W-what did I do? Did I make a mistake?” blurted Casper.

He got nervous when he saw her crying again. She’s not going to jump into the lake and try committing suicide again, is she?

“No, no. I’m just really glad to have met you,” said Amelia.

She was quick to clarify the situation because she didn’t want Casper to worry about her. It’s nice to have someone caring about me.

Amelia and Casper went back the way they came from after her emotions settled down. After that, she changed into a dry outfit, and he took her to the place where he had supper with Ms. Schneider some time ago. He wanted to check out the food street that was about to be his.

Casper went to Larry’s restaurant once more. When Larry and Candace saw Casper there with another beautiful woman, their eyes glowed. Neither asked nor commented on anything.

However, they both made a mental note to tell Elena about it and to urge her to work harder to get Casper.

“Order whatever you want. I’ll be picking up the tab.”

Casper handed Amelia the menu as soon as they sat down. He was essentially gesturing her to order something she’d enjoy.

The cost of food here isn’t expensive, anyway. Their target customers are the public, so even the most expensive dish is cheap. Naturally, it would be difficult for Casper to foot the bill if he was still stuck in his old state. He had more than enough money at that moment, though, so he was not worried at all.

“I-I’ll have an egg sandwich.”

Amelia ordered the cheapest option on the menu.

“That’s it? That can’t be enough. Why not order something extra? You’ll go hungry if all you have is an egg sandwich,” blurted Casper. He was half-joking when he teased, “Don’t worry. Given your tiny size, filling your tummy won’t cost me much. Besides, I can always make more money.”

Amelia’s face instantly blushed red after hearing that. She stared at Casper in embarrassment before picking the menu up again and ordered two more dishes. Then, she pointed, “There. I really won’t be able to finish anything more. Also, you shouldn’t be wasteful even if you have the money.”

“You’re right,” agreed Casper.

He nodded slightly and was in agreement because he wasn’t going to show his true net worth in front of Amelia yet.

After supper, Casper and Amelia took a walk down the path within their campus. It was quiet, and the yellowish streetlight made the place seem a little romantic.

In her dry outfit, Amelia looked even more serene and beautiful. Casper could tell that she put some effort into looking nice, which is why she seemed sweet despite wearing old clothes.

This is probably the best outfit she owned, thought Casper.

Amelia paused under a tall tree just as they were about to turn the corner and head to the ladies’ dorm. She turned to Casper and seemed a little nervous when she said, “Thank you, Casper.”

“For what? I’m the one who should be thanking you for letting me do something nice,” said Casper with a smile, “Everyone says that saving a life would create good karma and send us to heaven. Now that I rescued you, I will definitely make it up there.”

“Yes, you will,” replied Amelia with a straight face on.

“Will I see you again tomorrow if I go to the spot behind the mountain?” asked Casper.

He stared at the beautiful Amelia and couldn’t stop himself from asking that question.

“Yeah,” replied Amelia.

She tilted her head up. Her beautiful face blushed once more when her clear eyes looked into Casper’s. She was honest when she answered his question, but her heart thumped faster, anyway.

At first, Casper wanted to walk with her a little longer, but Amelia was firm in rejecting his offer.

He smiled when he saw her hopping down the road happily. He was glad because he did something great that day. If nothing else, I saved a woman’s life.

Many would brag to others after doing something good, but Casper didn’t.

Instead, he thought that it’d be best if that incident could remain a secret between him and Amelia.

The next morning rolled by soon. Casper woke up early to visit Tycoon’s employees who were in the People’s Hospital. He was just leaving the hospital to go back to school for his classes when he got a call from Felix.

“Casper, please help me inform the teacher that I won’t be able to make it to class today,” informed Felix.

He was great at pretending and hiding the truth, but Casper could still detect the anxiety in Felix’s voice. It sounds like something had happened…

Casper instantly pushed and kept asking until Felix eventually confessed. Turned out, Felix was riding his bike back to school when he accidentally scratched a luxurious car. He and the driver are arguing at that moment.

Felix obviously couldn’t fix the issue on his own, so Casper rushed to the site of the accident right away.

He had just gotten out of the cab when he saw Felix kneeling in front of a Maserati. Felix’s face was bruised and bleeding as he begged for mercy.

A young man was standing beside Felix at the time. The former was in an exquisite three-piece suit and had so much gel on his hair that even an ant would slip. He was pointing, yelling, and kicking Felix.

Seeing that got Casper to fume. That was his friend who had helped him generously when he was in trouble!

Casper hurried over and helped Felix off the ground before glaring at the young man angrily. Casper roared, “Just fix the car if it’s been scratched. How dare you cross the line and attack my pal?”

At that moment, Casper was truly tempted to step up and knock the young man out. F*cking assh*le went too far. Felix is barely standing, and his eyes are already swollen!
