Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 130

Sawyer had returned to his place for quite some time by then, but no one dared to approach him or talk to him.

After all, they could sense that their employer was in a foul mood. However, they had no idea why nor could they notice anything off about his behavior.

It took some time before the maids in the Lingham Residence discovered something.

They realized that Sawyer had been sitting behind his desk and strategizing for over an hour.

As he did so, his gaze turned cruel, and he exuded a chilly aura.

He would grin or mutter to himself from time to time, and his gaze changed frequently between being gentle and aggressive.

Perhaps a stranger would find it normal for Sawyer to switch between those two expressions, but the maids knew better.

Anyone who accidentally messed up and got him to form those two expressions would be in a heap of trouble.

As far as they were concerned, anyone Sawyer targeted would be crushed and destroyed.

Anyone who doesn’t do as Sawyer requested will end up in an awful place, and that expression meant that someone infuriated him.

The maids secretly mourned and prayed for the victim whom their employer had targeted.

Sawyer had been in a foul mood and was grouchy ever since he returned from Giselle’s dorm.

When he turned on the live-streaming app like he always had, he suddenly learned that Giselle had switched platforms.

He later received the news from Giselle’s webpage.

Giselle will continue streaming on Darwin Entertainment’s live streaming platforms.

Tonight’s show will start streaming at eight o’clock sharp.

Sawyer recalled how Casper was there in Giselle’s dorm at around seven that day.

He linked that fact to how he had never seen Giselle dolling up before that day.

Add all that to the way Casper and Giselle interacted with one another, and how they looked into each other’s eyes… Sawyer was not an idiot and could decipher what that meant.

Bang!

“F*ck!”

Sawyer’s expression instantly turned darker than coal. He swung his arm, and the mug on the table smashed onto the floor, hard.

Giselle would never leave the live streaming platforms without giving prior notice, and I can’t believe she’s so adamant about leaving that she’d rather pay for the legal damage!

What Sawyer didn’t know was that Giselle was completely unaware of the legal damage, for Darwin Entertainment had already settled everything from behind the scenes.

She definitely didn’t know that Sawyer was the major shareholder of the live streaming platform she previously used.

Sawyer had bought those shares simply because Giselle was using that platform.

That night, he thought about how Giselle and Casper interacted. She said that he’s her teaching assistant… But Casper was holding groceries at the time…

Sawyer instantly felt like an idiot that was so dumb that he bailed out the thief who broke into his house.

His expression turned so cold and cruel that he looked like a demon that had escaped from hell.

In that case, that Mr. Simpson online has to be Casper Simpson. I mean, who else could it be? Sawyer scoffed.

He later laughed aloud like he had suddenly thought of something.

In the quiet living room, that laughter echoed and sounded terrifying.

Sawyer laughed for quite some time before he managed to stop himself.

He frowned, then relaxed just as he pursed his lips, then smiled.

It seemed he hesitated for a moment before he let go of everything and made a call.

“Hi, is this Christian? It’s me, Sawyer. I… need you to help me deal with someone. I’ll need you to… do your best and if possible, cripple him.

“What? Are you saying that my order is not as important as my dad’s? I’m still his son, you know?

“In that case, just make it so that you can hit two birds with one stone. Anything will do. Just don’t let me see him again. Don’t worry about explaining the situation to my dad. I’ll deal with him.

“Good. I shall wait for your good news, then.”

After hanging up, Sawyer called a few “friends” from BU and assigned them some tasks.

He smiled in satisfaction when everything was done. His expression became serene once more, and he was calm.

“Casper Simpson, I’d like to see how you’d escape this time,” muttered Sawyer softly. “Given the magnitude of what’s to come, I highly doubt you can handle it, though.”

His expression turned evil when he added, “Guess you’ll just have to f*ck off, hide at home, and never show your face again.

“Coming after the woman I set my eyes on? You have got to be the first one to do something so stupid. How can I not make it grand for you?

“Should I make it even worse? Nah, that punk has nothing but money, anyway.

“Taking advantage of his pretty face to seduce the woman I have my eyes on… Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“That punk is probably sick of breathing,” muttered Sawyer.

And then there’s Giselle Clauder. How dare she make a fool out of me? I will make her pay for it as well!

When the next day rolled by, Casper, Felix, and the others sensed that something was off as soon as they stepped foot on campus.

The students around them were staring in distaste and were avoiding them.

They never reacted that badly, even when Casper was eating leftovers for meals.

Everyone was taking detours and whispering while pointing. Even their gaze was strange.

It was so bad that even Felix, who had always been the least sensitive one, detected it as well.

“What’s going on? Why is everyone staring so strangely?” asked Felix.

Colton pushed his glasses up and nodded before replying, “You’re right. It seems that something bad has happened.”

Casper felt the same way as well. However, he remained calm. “Let’s ignore it for now. We’ll find out soon enough, anyway,” said Casper before he walked toward the classroom.

Felix and Colton nodded in agreement and followed Casper’s lead into their class.

When they reached their classroom, they noted that everyone’s whispering and staring had become worse. Almost everyone was staring at them in distaste.

“Look, that’s the guy. He’s the Casper Simpson everyone is talking about.”

“That’s right. If he’s like that, then I’m guessing his pals are the same as well. None of them are good.”

“Huh? That’s Casper Simpson? Ugh, even looking at him disgusts me.”

Casper’s hearing had always been great, and the spectators weren’t really lowering their voices, so naturally, he heard it all.

He frowned and suddenly realized that things weren’t as simple as he thought.

What the hell did they think I did? What could possibly get them to act like this?

Casper didn’t think that he had done anything crazy or evil while he was at school, but he had offended quite a few people.

Is someone after me? If so, who? And why?

Given the state of the situation, my enemy has to be someone powerful within the school and has a sizeable influence over the students and the school admin.

Many within the school hated Casper, but only a handful had the power to do that much damage.

Still, Casper had no way of narrowing the list of potential culprits down.
