Chapter 11
One hour later Cassidy was driving towards the location that Warren sent to her on WhatsApp. She was surprised when she saw the area in which Warren was staying. It seems so underdeveloped. However, it makes sense given Warren's family's financial situation. She drove for a few more blocks until she arrived in front of a rather small house. Before she could send a message, she saw a familiar figure open the door and wave at her. She recognized Warren instantly and got out of the car to meet him. Cassidy didn't have any romantic feelings for Warren, she just felt pity for him. It breaks her heart seeing her classmate living in such conditions. She felt that it would be best if Warren attended Gary's function so that he may at least interact with people of a higher social class. This could help him in building his own relationships and connections, which will be beneficial to him in the long run. "I'm sorry I arrived a little bit earlier. I didn't have any br

'A mansion for 2 million dollars? She must have a substantial amount of money if she  could afford that,' Warren thought."So is she coming to join us then? It would be an honor to meet such a great person," Warren said embarrassedly as he laughed. "Don't be so flustered, she is a rather down to earth person. She's already at the venue of the function, so she will only be able to join us in 1o minutes. In the meantime we could order so long." Warren didn't know what to think. He only wanted to spend some time alone with Cassidy. Although there were no romantic sparks flying in the air, it was the only opportunity he had to talk to someone as beautiful as her. If her sister were to arrive then the half hour they had left before the function began would be wasted. He would most probably be relegated to being the third wheel when Cassidy and her sister started talking. At that moment a Porsche Taycan arrived at the entrance of The Ligh

The three of them continued their meal in relative peace. When they were done, they went downstairs to pay the bill. When Warren saw how much the food cost that they just ate, he instantly became nauseous. 10 thousand dollars for breakfast is just insane! He became nervous because he could even afford a tenth of the meal. Why would Cassidy bring him here, if not to embarrass him? Warren didn't know what to do."I will pay this time, I remember distinctively it was you who paid the last time," Cassidy said nonchalantly. "I don't think so. You paid the last time, so now it's my turn. In addition to that, I will also pay for his meal," Claire added as she pointed towards Warren. Warren was confused. Why would they argue about who should pay for the meal? Do they not see how outrageous the amount is? It is impossible for the breakfast to cost that much. After a few more exchanges between the two. They finally reached a consensus and Claire p

Warren and Cassidy found Gary's current behavior pleasant, since he wasn't so domineering and irritating as he was at first. Gary on the other hand knew exactly why he had to be in his best behavior now, since he had something special planned at the end of the event. The function proceeded without any mishaps and Warren enjoyed himself. It was at this moment when Gary signaled for everyone to quiet down. He had something important to say. "Ladies and gentlemen. I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my humble event. The reason for the particular festivities today, is to pay homage to Mrs Evans for her purchase on her new villa. We as Robertsons Equity Estate would like to thank her for her wonderful contribution towards the company. "There was a round of applause as everyone congratulated Claire. She was used to this kind of attention. It comes with the privileges of being wealthy. So she smiled nonchalantly a

Gary  signaled to one of his security guards to come over. He whispered something in his ear and when the guard turned around to leave, he was smiling. 'Just you wait, Warren Cole! We will see how long you can keep up with this charade. I will make you pay for embarrassing me like this,' Gary mumbled to himself. He had a devious smile on his face.Not too long after that, Warren left for the men's room. On his way there he bumped into one of the security guards who were on duty today. The guard glared at him, and after Warren apologized he left. He didn't want to start a fight at Gary's function, since it would embarrass Cassidy who went out of her way to invite him to attend the day. After he finished his business in the men's room, he returned to the main hall where the function was held. However, there was a commotion going on. One of the guests lost their necklace. Since it was only wealthy people attending the event, everyone knew just how

'Everything  makes sense now,' Warren thought. 'The confidence in Gary's words and his relentless onslaught while saying that I stole the necklace. He was the one who planned it all.' Although he realized the truth now, it was too late for him. The security guards brought him out to the parking lot on Gary's command. They kicked him violently until blood were flowing out through his nose and mouth. The pain he felt was something he will never forget. Not only was he wrongfully accused, even Cassidy believed that he was a thief. Warren didn't feel the need to defend himself anymore. He accepted the beating, although it hurt him excruciatingly. At that moment Gary stood in front of him. He followed the guards when they brought Warren out. He made sure that no one else followed them since he wanted to make Warren suffer in peace."Not so smug now anymore, are we?" he joked as he also kicked Warren. "Did you really think that you could be with Cassi

As Warren was walked away from the beggar, he couldn't help thinking about what just happened. 'Why do I feel so energetic all of a sudden? Did the beggar do something to me? Was it a good thing or a bad thing? Oh well, there is no use dwelling on it now. All that matters is that my wounds are healed and I feel amazing,' Warren thought to himself.  Although he was still covered in blood, Warren felt as if he could do anything. He felt rejuvenated from head to toe. He sprinted and to his surprise, he didn't feel any pain at all. His speed also increased substantially. 'This is an unexpected and welcome surprise,'Warren said as he rushed to find a cab since his house was a long way away.  No cab stopped for him since he was still covered in blood. He didn't give up and stood in the middle of the road so that the next cab couldn't pass him by. He forcefully entered and instructed the driver to go to the designated address. Reluctantly, the driver follo

"Flight 187 departing for Flemond is ready for boarding!" a voice rang throughout the airport.  Warren knew it was his flight and as he was about to go through customs the voice on the other end said "I will wait for you at the airport, Young Master. You have a safe flight." Warren was still speechless. He couldn't say a word, nor could he register that if what happened just now,  was a dream or reality. It didn't make sense that he was now the owner of the most lucrative business and shopping district in all of Flemond.  He boarded the plane and still stared at his phone. "500 000 000 dollars has been paid into your savings account!" Even when he saw the proof, he was still doubtful. 'I will visit the bank after landing in Flemond. That's the only way I would know if this was the real thing,' he thought to himself.  After that the 4-hour trip back to Flemond felt like an eternity. Warren couldn't wait to get back.  Wh

Oblivious of the schemes that Johnathan Parker had, Warren returned to his dorm room in a cab. He thought it would be best to leave the entourage so that they may stay at the Flemond Stargaze Hotel, one of the buildings located in the Flemond Galaxy District. Although he was also the owner of that hotel, Warren didn't see the need to suddenly move to such a grand amd luxurious place, since he wanted to be low-key. He didn't want to touch a cent of the money that Johnathan Parker gave to him, nor did he want to use his facilities. Warren felt that he would become dependent on the support that Johnathan lend him and then he might as well become his puppet.When he arrived at the entrance of the dorm, he was greeted by his good friend, Samuel. Warren was ecstatic when he saw the familiar face. It's a good thing that he didn't run into either Jennifer or Lloyd first, since it would add to his dismay."So you ran away so suddenly, did you manage to sort out everything back

"Just think about this: since we're holding a raffle we could make a huge profit and buy all the food and blankets that we want without standing here like beggars," Lauren explained. It finally made sense to Warren and Samuel. Lauren was only caring about her own image and not the purpose of the fundraising. She didn't want to participate in an activity that made her reliant on people's generosity, she wanted to be the one in control. "With the raffle we can sell tickets at a price of 5000 dollars. If we have a hundred participants, we could raise 500 000 dollars. The prices that those who participate in the raffle could win include a new BMW 3 series, a necklace worth 25 000 dollars and a one-day all expenses paid luxury day at the Heavenly Sky Resort, with dinner included at the Heavenly Sky Diner."Warren and Samuel looked at each other and shook their heads. Lauren was so far off topic. Her suggestion defeated the whole purpose of the fundraising
