Becoming the Richest Man Alive

The moment Casper heard Giselle’s voice, he knew something was amiss.

Did something happen to her? After all, Sawyer had been sending men to cause him trouble. In fact, it

had been going for the last two days.

Perhaps, he might be harassing Giselle too.

With that thought in mind, Casper couldn’t help but feel the urge to tear Sawyer limb from limb.

Giselle’s anxious voice was heard over the phone. “Hello? Casper? Are you listening to me? Answer

me.”

“Why didn’t you tell me that you changed your phone number? I only got to know about it from your

dormmates. Where are you now? I’ll come and see you at once!” Giselle asked frantically.

At that moment, Casper remembered that he forgot to move the SIM card from his old phone to his

new one.

That explains why Giselle didn’t contact me.

Casper thought about it remorsefully. Wait a minute. Did she just say that she got my number from my

dormmates? In other words, did the goddess herself went to see them for my sake?

My God! Casper was overwhelmed with ecstasy, just like a fish on land gurgling in joy when it was

suddenly thrown back into a clear spring.

“Hello? Casper? Are you even listening?” Giselle repeated.

“Hello! Ms. Clauder! Yes, I’m listening!” Casper answered at once.

“I’m at the school entrance right now. Where are you, Ms. Clauder? Why don’t I come to you?” Casper

added.

Giselle heaved a sigh of relief when she finally heard Casper’s voice. “No need. Just wait for me there.

I’ll come to you instead. Wait there, and don’t stray off.”

“Alright, I understand.” Casper was dumbfounded when he heard her words.

He had never heard her sound so concerned about him before.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm down so that he won’t end up embarrassing himself.

Given that he was born with thick skin, Giselle naturally couldn’t detect anything out of the ordinary

from his expression.

“Oh, Casper! I finally found you!” Giselle exclaimed as she panted. It was obvious that she had run all

the way there.

Nevertheless, she still looked as stunning as usual. In fact, the look she had when she was breathing

heavily was so alluring that it caused Casper’s heart to race.

I have never seen her this way before.

Just like that, Giselle simply stared blankly at Casper.

Despite the anxiety she felt earlier, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter when she saw the look on

Casper’s face.

When Casper saw her laugh, he too broke into a smile.

Just as both of them gazed into each other’s eyes and laughed, all the frustration they felt slowly

melted away.

It took a while before Giselle finally remembered why she wanted to see Casper.

“Casper, you…”

Just when Giselle was about to say something, Casper waved and shook his head. Instead, he asked,

“Goddess, have you had anything to eat? Let’s go grab a bite. I’m famished!”

Just as he spoke, Casper rubbed his tummy to express his hunger. He added, “I know a sushi

restaurant nearby that’s very good. Why don’t we give it a try?”

Casper suggested it because he knew that Giselle enjoyed sushi.

Having heard Casper, she gazed deeply into his eyes before nodding.

After that, both of them headed to the sushi restaurant Casper mentioned.

Ever since he was young, Casper didn’t really fancy sushi.

The old man who raised Casper didn’t like sushi either. Hence, Casper took after his habit.

When Casper saw the dazzling array of sushi available, he felt as if he was spoilt for choice.

“Goddess, why don’t you order? I’m not very good at this so I’ll go along with whatever you choose.”

Just as he spoke, Casper put down the menu.

When Giselle saw Casper’s reaction, she seemed to know what was going through his mind. Nodding

in response, she ordered some of the restaurant’s signature dishes before putting down the menu.

After pondering for a moment, she felt like saying something but held her tongue instead.

Sensing Giselle’s hesitation, Casper could guess what she wanted to say.

Waving his hand, Casper promised, “Ms. Clauder, go ahead and ask away. I will tell you whatever I

know truthfully.”

However, Giselle noticed that Casper addressed her as “Ms. Clauder” instead of “Goddess” or

“Giselle”.

“Erm, a portion of what you read on the internet might be true, but most of it has been fabricated.

Hence, please don’t believe them. I will find out who is behind all this and clear my name. Ms. Clauder,

you must know that I didn’t do any of those things.”

Casper continued, “For the portions that I am responsible for, I will definitely admit to them because I

have my reasons for doing that. Therefore, you have to believe me, Ms. Clauder.”

Casper looked at Giselle in earnest, eager for her to believe him. Contained within his gaze were hope,

desire, and anticipation.

In fact, Giselle averted her gaze as she was overwhelmed by the rush of emotions she could see from

his eyes.

She had the urge to say something but didn’t know what to. Words pale in comparison to what she

wanted to convey.

Looking at Casper, her heavy heart was also tinged with sadness.

Although Casper could sense what she wanted to say, he was shocked by the expression on her face.

Suddenly, Giselle turned away, excusing herself to the washroom by saying that there was something

in her eye.

Worried, Casper followed her to see if she needed any help.

However, he was filled with disbelief at the sight of Giselle crying.

Tears streamed down her cheeks in silence.

If not for the fact that he kept looking at her face, he wouldn’t have noticed that his goddess was crying.

Even in tears, her beauty did not diminish in any way. It quietly broke Casper’s heart to see her like

that.

Casper walked up to her at once, with a tissue in hand, wanting to help her wipe her tears.

In fact, he began to stumble on his words. “Ms. Clauder? Goddess? Are you alright? Don’t scare me,

will you? What happened?”

Casper comforted her, “Tell me about it and we will solve it together. So please, don’t cry anymore. It

pains my heart to see you like that.”

Giselle felt that she would remember the scene for the rest of her life.

Casper had walked over to her with one knee on the ground. With a worried gaze, he showed his

concern and then reassured her that they would solve her problems together. Furthermore, he told her

to stop crying as it broke his heart to see her so.
