Riches in Disguise

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Joshua's expression instantly darkened.

He clearly hadn't expected me to know anything about Spring Harvest Agro-Tech, but when Zack and Louis turned their curious gazes toward him, he quickly tried to regain his composure.

"You don't know anything! Sure, the company's owner's last name is White on paper, but my dad owns over thirty percent of the shares."

"Please don't talk like you understand when you have no clue! You're just embarrassing yourself!" Joshua snapped before storming out of the dorm room, not daring to stay a second longer.

Watching him leave in such a hurry, I couldn't help but find it amusing.

"But Joshua, this is just the beginning of your downfall," I thought.

Over the next few days, Joshua was in a constant rush, barely spending any time in the dorm. And even when he did come back, he was glued to his phone, biting his nails as he furiously sent messages.

Zack and Louis tried to talk to him and even invited him out for drinks, but he turned them down every time.

I knew exactly what was going on.

Two days ago, the foundation sent out the student stipends, but Joshua hasn't received a dime since I cut off his funding. Of course, suddenly losing his financial support had him panicking.

With him too busy worrying about his lack of money, I finally had the peace of mind to focus on my startup project.

Dad had always been there for me, supporting my studies and life, and I wasn't about to let him down.

That evening, I returned to the dorm with my laptop and found Zack and Louis huddled around Joshua, trying to console him. His eyes were red like he'd just finished crying.

As I walked in, Zack suddenly piped up. "Look at William-he's got nothing, broke as hell, and he's still doing just fine!"

"Exactly!" Louis agreed to it.

"If someone like William can make it, what are you even worried about? It is just your family that cut off your allowance, and we can lend you some money to get you through this rough patch. You can sort things out with them later."
