Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 99

Remy shook his head and said thoughtfully, “I don’t know either; Casper never talks about his family. I don’t even know what he’s thinking about half the time. I guess he’s just a thrift person.”

The smile froze on Jessica’s face. That’s it? What about the humiliation I felt? I can’t let this go. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Her conflicted emotions were, however, absent from her expression.

Before the atmosphere could become even more awkward, the server came by with their orders. They made small talk as they ate, though Remy was the one initiating the conversation.

He was not puzzled by Jessica’s behavior at all; instead, he was glad that she had even bothered to spend time with him, given that she was the heiress to the Taylor family. Some haughtiness was unavoidable.

“I’d like to see this person myself,” Jessica declared as she smiled meaningfully at Remy. I’m going to destroy their friendship regardless of Casper’s background.

Jessica put on the charms after that, much to Remy’s pleasant surprise.

When Remy got back to the dorm, he still felt like he was floating on cloud nine.

Felix was slightly concerned when he saw the silly grin on Remy’s face.

He glanced at Casper covertly, and the latter approached Remy with a bright smile on his face. “Hey, where did you go? What’s got you in such a good mood?”

Remy replied with that silly grin still plastered to his face, “I had a date with the girl of my dreams. It was amazing.”

“Oh?” Casper’s heart sank. She’s got him wrapped around her little finger.

Remy continued, “She said she’d like to meet all of you sometime; all of you better be on your best behaviors then. Don’t act like a bunch of uncultured hillbillies!”

Felix could not stand Remy’s swooning a minute longer and asked, “Hey, Remy. Isn’t that dream girl of yours-”

Casper immediately covered Felix’s mouth before he could finish his sentence.

Remy stiffened and looked at Casper. “Casper, what’s going on? Let him finish his words. What’s up with my dream girl?”

“Nothing’s wrong.” Smiling awkwardly, Casper removed his hand from Felix’s mouth and glared at the latter.

“I heard some rumors about the character of your dream girl. I want you to be cautious, that’s all.”

Remy relaxed at his words, though he appeared unconcerned. “We can’t control the rumors, but she seemed pretty nice earlier. You’ll get a better idea of her personality when you meet her.”

Just then, Colton pushed open the door to their room. He stared at his three friends in confusion.

“What’s going on in here? Why is the atmosphere so tense?”

Remy stood up and went over to Colton, patting his shoulder affably. “Colton, I went on a date with my dream girl today. Aren’t you proud of my progress? To think you used to call me a hillbilly! I swear I’m going to make her my girlfriend.”

Colton placed his books on the table and took a seat. “Woah, you’re the man! I didn’t know you’d wangle a date with her this quickly. You better introduce her to us when it’s official.”

“Of course!”

The topic of Remy’s love life ended then. Felix looked like he had more to say, while Casper seemed like he could care less about Remy’s dream girl.

If she’s got something up her sleeve, I’ll deal with it then.

Lying back on his bed, Casper unlocked his phone and clicked on the live-streaming app. Giselle’s live stream would begin soon.

As he enjoyed her soothing and melodic voice, Casper sent her multiple gifts on the app.

Soon, he realized he had spent a small fortune.

Thanks to his gifts, Giselle’s popularity on the app surged once more, and she gained many fans.

Giselle’s handsome earnings and increase in fans were all thanks to Casper.

“Thank you for your support, Mr. Simpson.”

Her sweet voice was practically dripping honey, and Casper could not help but send her even more gifts.

Giselle’s live stream ended a while later. Meanwhile, Casper licked his lips in dissatisfaction.

Since he had nothing better to do, Casper began going over his accounts.

Sh*t, I didn’t realize I’d spent so much money.

“Damn it!”

Jumping up from his bed, Casper shook his head and sighed heavily.

“What’s up?” His roommates sat up in concern.

Casper shook his head dejectedly and sighed, “Nothing. At least, it’s nothing for you to worry about.”

His heart ached at the fortune he had spent. I wonder how much of it went to Giselle. Live streaming is a lucrative business, man.

Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Casper’s head.

What if I start an entertainment company? The local entertainment scene is still pretty immature; it might be a good investment opportunity.

Casper’s mind spun from the countless possibilities.

I should put some thought into it.

With his showbiz ambitions, Casper fell into a deep sleep. He woke up the next day in great spirits.

Casper had come up with preliminary plans regarding Horington food street as well as the entertainment company.

“Casper, are you free tonight?” Just as he was getting ready to leave, Remy’s question reached his ears.

“I’m free. What’s up?”

Smiling sheepishly, Remy said, “My dream girl wants to meet my roommates, so I was thinking of gathering everyone for dinner tonight. You in?”

Casper agreed without a hint of hesitation, as did Colton, who had been curious about Remy’s dream girl as well.

Felix’s motives for attending the dinner were, however, different from Colton’s. He wanted Remy to see Jessica’s true colors.

Remy sighed in relief at their prompt agreements, and he tapped out a reply to Jessica happily.

They fixed the dinner at six in the evening. Casper left to meet Elena and discuss the future development plans for Horington food street.

“We’ll stick to our original plans for Horington food street, but I was thinking of shooting a film there.”

Surprised, Elena blurted, “Shoot a film?”

Why does he suddenly want to make a movie?

Stallion immediately understood Casper’s intentions. “Are you hoping to use the film to promote the food street and attract customers?”

“Bingo!”
