Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 232

Kitty froze for a moment. “What do you mean? You find me disgusting?”

Charlie suppressed his anger. “Honey, that’s not what I meant. Let’s call it a day. I’m gonna go now.”

Kitty went nuts and grabbed his arm. “Excuse me? You do find me disgusting, don’t you? Or did you get cold feet because you’re so afraid of Casper now that you don’t even dare to talk to me?”

Kitty had totally misinterpreted Charlie’s reaction. Charlie immediately slapped her on the face as he could no longer contain his frustration. “Are you done? Who do you think you are? I gave you money because I just wanted to have some fun with you, bitch. I can easily get any woman I want in a snap of a finger.”

Rage throbbed in Kitty like a heartbeat. All she wanted was for him to console her. She did not expect Charlie to treat her like this. Kitty exploded with rage, and she picked up a tree branch and started attacking Charlie.

Charlie had yet to recover from his injuries, so he had no choice but to run away from Kitty. Passersby around the area instantly recorded the scene and sent the videos to their respective chat groups.

While Casper was busy updating his dormmates about his relationship with Giselle, Felix suddenly bounced up from his bed. “Kitty and Charlie had a fight!”

All the boys got up and went to his bed to watch the video. The couple started their argument by the stairs, and all of a sudden, the man slapped the woman and yelled at her. The woman then went crazy. She picked up a branch and started whacking him with it.

Casper took a closer look at the video and realized they were indeed Charlie and Kitty. The couple, who used to show off how much they loved each other in front of Casper, was now at each other’s throats like clowns.

Felix burst into laughter. “Damn, the way Kitty ran after Charlie made her look like a ghost!

Colton, too, shook his head. “Look at how she dressed and the way she wielded the branch. She looked like a madwoman who took it out on a dog.”

“You’re not wrong, though,” Felix said, “She is beating a dog!”

Felix and Colton started laughing. Even Casper could not stop smiling at the turn of events. Not only had he witnessed how his enemies had turned against each other, but he was also glad to see how happy his buddies were. Above all, he had started dating the woman of his dream.

Money indeed changes everything.

Casper finally understood why Alfred made him go through the test. He must have wanted me to acknowledge the danger of money and how it can change people’s hearts.

No matter how powerful Casper was, he must be able to read people’s minds if he were to become the head of the Simpson family.

As a result of how broke he presented himself in public, Casper managed to see through Kitty. And by doing so, he had also differentiated trustworthy from those who approached him with a motive. Like Giselle and his dormmates, Casper knew they would not throw others under the bus. Even Remy, who had once been misled by others, was a good man by nature.

Casper also finally understood why people had a love-hate relationship with money. When money was not a concern for him in the past, he did not believe that poor people existed. Now, he felt how foolish he was to have that “let them eat cake” mentality.

No doubt money changed people’s hearts, but it was also money that had helped him muster up his courage to stand up and fight once again.

Even a righteous man like Louis had no choice but to give in and bow to money. But unlike Kitty and Hanson, Louis was still a good-natured person. This was why Casper chose to forgive him.

Is money the root of all evil? No. People are.

Casper swore he would not become a slave to money like Kitty.

I want to be the master of my own, overcome the desire, and teach all these losers a lesson!

A hard glint flashed across his eyes. Casper had not forgotten his mission. He had not forgotten the Simpson family’s motto that had lasted for several centuries.

One billion is just a small sum.

He realized that using a hundred million to earn one billion in a year was not that difficult. Many financial geniuses could achieve this goal within the snap of a finger.

Alfred had high hopes for him. As the heir to the Simpson family, Casper would eventually inherit an unimaginable sum of the family assets. I can’t just fix my eyes on just making one billion and be happy about it.

He could have invested the ten million in his hands and snowballed the money to one billion, but this did not mean he would pass the test.

Be the best among the best—this is how Alfred has always taught me. And I’ve also learned that increasing my profit tenfold was not unattainable, as I can always seize the golden opportunity and put all my money into it. But will Alfred be proud of me?

All of a sudden, Casper slammed the table. “I see!”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

That gave all his dormmates a shock. Felix waved his fingers in front of Casper and asked, “Dude, are you okay? I know you’re happy with how things have turned out but control your emotions, okay?”

Colton rolled his eyes at Felix. “Casper must be thinking about something else. He has been behaving like this ever since he became a boss.”

“I wanna be a boss too, damn it,” Felix sighed.

“Stop dreaming, man. Go and play your video games. You can do what you want there,” Colton sneered.

“You think you’re smarter than me huh, a*shole?” Felix shot daggers at Colton.

Just when they started poking fun at each other, Casper slammed the table once again and exclaimed, “I want to be the richest man in Horington!”

All the boys froze and looked at Casper.

Colton whispered, “Oh, no… I think he has gone mad…”

A corner of his lips quirked up. “I’m not mad. It’s not that tough to become the richest man in Horington, isn’t it?”

“Are you serious?” the three boys asked in unison and gave Casper a puzzled look.

“I know you’re rich now, but come on, you gotta stop daydreaming. Do you know how many decades did the Lingham family take to build their wealth? Their assets now stand at three billion! Do you know that?” Felix said.

Colton started biting his nails. “A lot of people in the finance world can become super rich overnight though. Since Casper has the money, it’s not impossible.”

“You mean through stock trading?” Felix asked.

Colton snorted. “You wouldn’t have asked this stupid question had you paid attention in class.”

Felix’s frustration kicked in. “As if you paid attention in class. You’re always watching porn!”
