Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 126

Felix stared at Remy and blurted in disbelief, “Dude, how can you say that about Casper? How can you even think that?”

Casper and Felix knew that Remy was in love with Jessica, but they never expected things to have gone that far.

We’re friends who have been through hell together!

Yet, Remy no longer trusted the friends who stood by his side all the while.

Felix shook his head in disappointment.

Casper frowned and remained silent for a moment before he fished his phone out. He then played a recording.

“The person who hired us is a woman. Her surname is Taylor, and she looked young, but I don’t have a full name. I heard that she’s a student at Business University, though.

“She wants us to use your girlfriend to take some embarrassing videos of you and send them to her. She also asked us to cripple you.

“That’s all I know.”

The recording ended there.

Felix growled angrily, “Hear that, Remy? Business University! A woman with the surname of Taylor, who is also from BU. Who else could it be if not Jessica?”

“There are plenty of women with that surname in our school. Why do you insist on pinning this on my goddess? Besides, how do I know that recording is legit? Maybe someone with ill intention faked it,” refuted Remy.

“You! You’ve gone so insane for that woman to the point where you can’t even see right from wrong anymore!”

“We’re the only ones who know about Casper and Lilian. That woman, whose last name is Taylor, has to be Jessica!”

“You’re the one who has gone insane! She never agreed to be my girlfriend, so how could she get close enough to get anything from me?

“You, on the other hand, tried to get frisky with her, Casper. Seriously, it’s not like you don’t have women throwing themselves at you. What? Is Lilian not enough for you? Is that why you’re targeting my goddess?

“How could you, Casper?”

“Remy Harfield, will you just listen? Can you hear how insane you sound right now?” roared Felix, who was on the verge of going berserk.

“Oh, what are you trying to do now? Tarnish my goddess’ good name, so that I will back off and Casper can take over?” shouted Remy who seemed heartbroken. He added, “We’ve been friends for years. Is this how you’re going to treat me? Jessica is the first and only woman I love. If you keep insulting her and trying to take advantage of her, then this shall be the end of our friendship!”

After saying his piece, Remy turned around and left the room.

“You… Remy Harfield!” shouted Felix.

He wanted to chase after Remy, but Casper stopped him.

“Casper, what are you doing? Can’t you see that Remy’s in too deep? Are you really going to stand idly by even when he’s in this state?” roared Felix angrily as he glared at Casper. “That woman will ruin his

life eventually. Are you just going to watch him self-destruct?”

“Of course not! Remy is my pal, and I will always help him.

“Unfortunately, Jessica has him wrapped around her finger, and there is no way he’d listen to either of us now. Besides, he is obviously still angry about what happened earlier.

“Even if we chase after him to explain everything, he would just assume that we’re making excuses. He wouldn’t believe a word we say and will continue arguing with us,” shared Casper in a grim tone.

“Well, what do we do then?” asked Felix nervously. “We can’t just sit idly by and let him sink even further down that hellhole.”

“There is only one thing left to do,” said Casper.

“What’s that?”

“We’ll show him what kind of a woman Jessica really is. It will devastate him, but we have no other choice. We have to deal with this like it’s a malignant tumor. The only way to save the patient is to cut the entire thing out and throw it away. Hesitating will only let the cancer cells spread and cause more harm.”

Hearing what Casper said finally got Felix to calm down. The anxiety within Felix dissipated.

It was normal for humans to lose their cool when it came to matters that concerned people they cared about. Unfortunately, panicking will only make things worse.

Felix took a deep breath. At that moment, he couldn’t help feeling impressed. He also felt like he no longer knew Casper.

When Casper first started coming to school, he couldn’t even afford to feed himself. He was nothing like the man he is now. Not to mention, his aura is completely different.

It doesn’t matter how much Casper has changed, though. He is still my friend, and that is enough.

“You’re right. There is no point in chasing after him and talking to him now. So, what should we do?” asked Felix.

“We’ll have to take things slow and plan it out. We must find a way to get Jessica to slip up on her own and let Remy see that with his own eyes. Only then will Remy believe us.”

“Okay, I’ll follow your lead,” said Felix as he stared at Casper.

At school during lunchtime.

As usual, Casper got some food and waited for Amelia to show up.

He was truly in a foul mood. Naturally, he was burdened by how his pal was trapped, but he was also worried about something else.

Casper had only met Jessica once, but she had already gone as far as kidnapping Lilian to get back at him. What about Amelia, who Jessica has been looking down on all this while?

Amelia even slapped Jessica right across the face!

If Jessica is that cruel toward me, then how would she deal with Amelia, who is powerless?

Casper had a bad feeling about it.

Jessica will definitely make things even worse for Amelia.

Casper was still thinking about all the bad things that could happen when he saw Amelia walking over. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She had a plain outfit on, and her lips were curved into the purest and kindest smile in the world.

Casper secretly sighed a breath of relief when he saw how Amelia was walking over with a smile and how she seemed perfectly fine. Thank the heavens. Looks like Jessica didn’t do anything to Amelia.

“Hey, come on. The food they served in the cafeteria today is amazing,” shared Casper as he smiled at Amelia.

The latter grinned and shifted her gaze away as her cheeks flushed a little.

“Oh, okay.”

The two of them chatted happily as they finished lunch together.

Just before they parted ways, Casper reached out and tugged at Amelia’s hand. He asked, “Did Jessica do anything bad to you lately?”

“You know, it’s strange, but I haven’t seen Jessica in a while. Why did you ask?” said Amelia with a confused expression on. She simply couldn’t understand it.

Jessica isn’t someone who will back away that easily.

It took Amelia some time before she suddenly came around. She asked nervously, “Did she do something to you?”

“No, not at all,” denied Casper quickly when he saw how nervous Amelia got. He didn’t want to worry her.

“I was only asking because I suddenly recalled the past incident and was worried that she will come after you for it,” added Casper.

Amelia kept interrogating Casper and scanned his gaze endlessly. She didn’t settle down until she was certain that he wasn’t lying.
