Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Emily was gravely disappointed. She stared daggers at Jenny. There were people around, so she could not afford to lose her temper. If they were alone, she would have gladly given her cousin a slap on the face.

I’ve given you so many facial cues! Even an idiot would know how to read them! Why the heck are you doing this to me?

While Emily was distracted by her thoughts, Jenny turned to glare at Casper.

“You useless bum! How dare you try to scam my cousin! Why don’t you just scram already?”

“Hey, poor kid! You’d better run now! If you stick around, we’ll get you to pay for the meal. And if you can’t, I hope you don’t mind scrubbing pans for the next few days!” Gabriel taunted him.

At that moment, Emily only had one thought on her mind.

It’s over! I’m done for!

Then, when she least expected it, Casper opened his mouth to speak.

“I’m not poor. On the contrary, I’m quite rich.”

He said it so casually that everyone present at the table instantly burst into laughter. Even Emily found it hilarious. Oh, great. He’s in too deep now. He can’t snap out of it.

“Emily, you’re not paying him to be your shield, are you?”

At a loss for words, Emily smiled bitterly.

Gabriel glanced at Casper with a look of utmost contempt.

“You! Get out this instant! This place does not welcome people like you!” he yelled.

Nancy and Jenny watched on in amusement.

As for Casper, he simply smiled.

In a nonchalant tone, he said, “This place does not welcome people like me? Well, to tell you the truth, I actually own this place. If anyone has to get out, it’s you guys.”

“You penniless idiot, have you lost your mind? You dare say this shop is yours? Do you even know where you are? This is the Tycoon, for God’s sake! The price for a cup of tea here could feed you for a week!”
