Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 294

Victoria teasingly responded to Casper’s joke, “How dare you tease me right now, Casper? I’m going to kiss you all over your face the next time I visit.”

After the two had hung up the phone, Casper looked through the call history and message logs to check who he still hadn’t spoken to.

Casper saw that Winston had called him a few times, so he called him back. After the call connected, Winston invited him to the Lane residence because Casper was the biggest contributor at the Antique Fair. After Winston became the head of the family in the past few days, he finally divided the remaining industries and forces of the Yaeger family. It was only then he had time to make a phone call to Casper.

“Casper, you have to come. My father has rushed me multiple times that he wants to meet you. He planned to give you a few antiques that he specifically chose from the vault. He thought I was tacky when I asked him to pay you directly. Anyway, you must come over in these few days. Otherwise, we can go to your place. We have to meet up.”

Casper happily agreed to it. However, his face immediately became worried after he hung up the phone. He had too many business meetings over the past few days.

Casper checked his phone’s messages to see if anyone else had not contacted him. Suddenly, a slim figure crept up on him quietly, as if the person didn’t want him to figure out who they were.

He was pretending not to notice. When that person touched Casper’s back, they covered his eyes with two hands and asked, “Guess who am I?”

What? Of course, I know who you are. You’re Lillian, the one I haven’t looked for in a while.

“Uh, you’re Lillian.” Casper first pretended to think for some time before uttering her name.

Lillian was stunned for a moment. She put her hands down and said, “You already saw that it was me. How boring.”

Then, she hugged Casper from behind, and he felt pressure from her bosom against his back. He jumped out instantly as if he had been jolted by electricity.

“What’s the matter, Lillian? Go on and tell me.”

Casper’s actions made her feel a little disappointed. That was why he struck up a conversation with Lillian to prevent her from feeling embarrassed.

Lillian replied softly, “It’s nothing. I just wanted to find you because I’ve missed you. Every time I look for you at your dorm, you are never there. You’re such a busy man.”

“Well, I’m focusing on my studies, so I need to spend more time studying.” Casper scratched his head and chuckled.

“Who are you kidding? I just asked yesterday. All the students in your class said that you haven’t been in class for a while. Even your roommates helped you to take your attendance.”

Just like that, Lillian exposed his lie. Casper just smiled goofily as he did not know how to answer her.

“I know that you don’t want to see me.” Lillian sighed and turned to leave.

Casper felt ashamed and stopped her quickly. “Don’t, don’t do this. I didn’t mean to lie to you. It’s just that I’ve been really busy these days.”

However, he did not know that Lillian, who had turned around, had revealed a smug smile. Yes! After that, Lillian recomposed herself and turned her head. “Then, are you free today? Can you accompany me?”

Casper immediately broke into a cold sweat. He wanted to accompany Giselle at night. So, he shook his head and replied, “I have something on tonight, so I can’t accompany you.”

Seeing Casper reject her, Lillian felt very sad. “Can’t you take a walk with me for a while?” she asked.

Casper did not dare to refuse when he saw her disheartened look. He replied, “Yes, no problem. I can accompany you for a while this afternoon.”

She immediately went up to him and hugged his arm. “That’s great! Let’s leave the campus now!” said Lillian.

Casper felt helpless. He had no choice but to let her hug him. However, he discreetly kept a little distance from her. Lillian had noticed that, but she didn’t say anything. There was only a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Casper was then pulled out of the university gate by Lillian as he was keeping a close eye on his surroundings. He was worried someone would see them. He and Elena were previously caught on camera, and the photo was delivered to Giselle. At the moment, Casper was afraid that it would happen again and that Giselle would scold him.

Fortunately, Lillian called a taxi and took Casper into the back seat after exiting the campus.

“Where are we heading to?” he asked.

“You helped me so much, and you gave my brother a job. Shouldn’t I repay you?” Lillian laughed and continued, “I know that you’re rich, so I’ve saved two thousand to treat you to a meal.”

Lillian was a little unconfident when she said that. She didn’t think that Casper, who could easily spend three million to repay a debt to a stranger, would be able to value the two thousand.

“Hey, you’re spending two thousand for a meal? It’s too extravagant,” said Casper while he shook his head. Lillian was stunned. Casper thought that spending two thousand for a meal was too expensive? He must be very low-key.

“Let’s have it this way then. I’ll just have a few bites. I appreciate your kindness, but your brother hasn’t been gambling anymore, right?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Casper asked her as he recalled that Lillian’s brother was also a gambling geezer. Eugene believed that once someone lost too much money, they were not far from being sc*mbags.

“No, I’ve made up my mind. I’m in charge of all his money now. Besides, he’s going to work every day now, so he won’t have time to gamble,” Lillian said.

Casper nodded. It seemed that Eugene’s claim was not entirely accurate. The two gamblers he met had given up on gambling because of family. The adage that if one gambled, there was no turning back was untrue.

What Casper did not consider was the huge gambling debts of those two people were settled by him. Without Casper, both of them would be dead. How could they have repented if it wasn’t for Casper, who saved them?

In reality, no gambler could have such good luck in meeting a person like Casper. Furthermore, the two people still had strong feelings for their families. Hence, the saying—turning over a new leaf—that was most likely unachievable in a scenario like that, according to Eugene, was actually realized.

Casper felt bored in the car. He took out his phone and flipped through again to check whose messages he hadn’t replied to and whose calls he hadn’t returned. Casper searched for a while. There were no other trivial matters except for a few unfamiliar calls. He then attributed them as scam calls and did not call them back. After all, people who needed his help would come to him again.

Lillian was shocked when she saw Casper’s phone model. She didn’t expect him to be such a simple man. The people around her who were wealthy had changed their phones to Apple’s newest models, but Casper was still using an old smartphone.

Maybe I should save some money to buy one for him?

Lillian pondered for a while. She could use the excuse of paying the debt to convince Casper to accept her gift, even if he was not short of cash.

Then, Casper opened his WhatsApp. He noticed that Jeremy had sent him a video with Jeremy’s face as the thumbnail. Casper clicked it by pressing the play button with his thumb.

“Ahhh…”

Suddenly, a loud voice rang out in the taxi. The panting and moaning sounded ecstatic, and what made Casper feel very embarrassed was that it was a man’s voice.

Casper turned off the phone at lightning speed, but his smartphone didn’t respond well. Even after the screen went black, the sound of the video was still playing for a while.

Meanwhile, deathly silence ensued in the taxi. Casper noticed that the taxi driver glanced back secretly, and his hand holding the steering wheel was very stiff.

Just end me already.

Casper felt like running back to strangle Jeremy. He had sent Casper an intimate video of two muscular men playing “wrestling” with the sc*mbag Hanson. At that time, when Casper knew that Hanson was going to escape far away, he was so angry that he asked Jeremy to find two strong men with special hobbies to bust Hanson’s butt hole. However, he didn’t expect Jeremy to do it for real. The latter had even recorded it and sent it to Casper, saying that he had completed the task.
