Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 148

After he finished speaking, Casper saw his two friends gaping and staring at him, stunned. He was equally dazed too about the whole thing.

After some time, Felix’s voice could be heard.

“Casper, who are you talking about? Who has a thing going on with Colton?”

Casper did not know how to react to his friends’ expressions. In any case, he was only guessing. Whatever happened was only up to those involved.

“It’s nothing. I was just speaking in jest.” Casper replied.

Felix nearly choked on his own saliva. “How could you? This is no joking matter.” Felix chided him.

Casper continued, “I can see that Remy likes Jessica. If she turns over a new leaf and likes Remy, too. It’s not impossible for them to be together.” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Felix seemed to have a different opinion. “Even so, why should Remy give in to her whims. She has done such things to him. Can she take back everything with one apology?” Felix sneered.

Casper smiled without saying a word.

At this moment, Casper’s mobile phone rang.

Casper looked at it and seemed to remember something which gave him a fright. He nearly threw this mobile phone down.

Felix was surprised to see this type of reaction from Casper since this was very unusual for him.

There were two words that appeared “The Goddess.”

Felix, too was astonished.

They often heard Casper mention ‘Goddess’ and they just thought that he meant some actress from some country. Never did they realize that it was someone in their circle of friends. They were contacting each other as well. It was more than just having her contact number.

Felix was curious who this ‘Goddess’ was that his buddy was mooning over.

He wanted to snatch up Casper’s phone to see what kind of magic power this so-called ‘Goddess’ had that made his buddy so obsessed.

Casper was quicker than him, though.

With lightning speed, Casper picked up his phone, walked out of Remy’s ward, and gently closed the door behind him.

Quickly, this young Mr. Simpson walked away, trembling as he held the phone in his hand.

“Goddess, hey, I was wrong.” Casper apologized immediately.

Casper finally remembered what he had vaguely forgotten before.

He had promised Giselle that he would give her some news when he reached the dorm.

At this moment the clock’s hands pointed at eleven.

It was eleven at night.

Casper felt guilty. He had really promised Goddess and it turned out that on the very first day, he had broken the promise.

It was so wrong of him.

As Casper kept evaluating himself, suddenly he heard a noise.

Immediately it became clear and he turned the doorknob to open the door outward.

Oh!

At this moment, Felix’s scheming voice came through, “Casper, do you want to come and check out Remy? Seems like it’s going to be bad.”

Casper murmured to himself. His condition has already stabilized in the hospital. No way is he turning bad. Felix is doing this on purpose. He is trying to eavesdrop on me.

Casper gave Felix a knowing look. Then he closed the door with a bang and walked elsewhere.

“Hey, Casper! Don’t leave. Remy is in critical condition. You can’t just abandon him. Hey, Casper, are you leaving Remy just like this?” Felix roared but somehow, it just sounded fake.

On the phone, Casper hurriedly said, “It’s okay. Goddess, I’m sorry. I apologize. It was my bad. Please forgive me, okay?”

On her side, Giselle was silent for a long time.

Casper felt that something was not right. Was she really angry?

Nevertheless, Mr. Simpson’s lust for life was strong and his survival skills were laudable.

He could just forsake his dignity for a while and speak seductively nonstop.

“I have seen clearly how wrong I was. From now on, I shall follow directions without wavering and follow orders strictly. If ordered to go east, I shall not go west. If you want the stars, I shall find a ladder long enough to get them from the sky. I shall not offer you the moon if you want the stars, nor shall I hug you when you want a kiss.”

Hearing this, Giselle could not help laughing even though she was angry.

What is this man talking about? Doesn’t he feel embarrassed?

Nevertheless, Giselle was still quite upset. After all, Casper did not keep his promise.

“Is your friend sick?”

Casper did not expect Giselle to ask about his buddy instead of questioning why he did not call her as promised. Immediately, he was dumbfounded.

He recovered quickly, presuming that she heard what Felix said just now.

“Um, he was a little unwell. We sent him to the hospital. There is nothing wrong with him. He should be fine in a couple of days.” Casper said.

“I was too busy just now, so I forgot to send a message. It was my fault and I was wrong. I will never do this again.” Mr. Simpson took the opportunity to defend himself and promised that this would never happen again in the future.

“Goddess, please do not be angry. Forgive me, please.”

Casper had covered everything so there was nothing Giselle could say. It was reasonable to take care of a buddy who is unwell. After hearing the explanation, Giselle who was only slightly upset became totally pacified.

Furthermore, this man was sincere enough to apologize vehemently enough. Whatever anger Giselle felt had dissipated without a trace.

However, after the anger was gone, for some reason, she felt down and she did not know why.

But even Giselle did not know the reason, let alone Casper.

She had to forgive him.

At this point, Casper suddenly asked with a hint of expectation, “Goddess, what time do you usually sleep?”

“Usually about now. What’s up?”

“Oh, it’s okay.” The obvious disappointment could be felt over the phone line.

Naturally, Giselle knew what he had in mind.

It was late and there was class tomorrow. Furthermore, this young man had to take care of his classmate in the hospital, so, if he came to her place, he would be exhausted on the morrow.

She did not want him to be worn out.

“We’ll talk about whatever you have in mind tomorrow. Rest well tonight.” Giselle coaxed him.

“But I miss you.”

This phrase brought Giselle close to the brink of giving in and she almost let him drop by.

Fortunately, her senses overcame her emotions and she did not allow him to visit.

Goodness gracious! This had only just started and she was close to losing her sense of reason. In the future, if they were together, Giselle realized sadly that this young man would take complete control of her.
