"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.

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

The girl was at a loss for words. She just received a phone call from the hospital telling her that her mother's hospital bill has been settled and that the payment also covered the cost for her mother's operation. She has been struggling to raise money to pay her mother's bill which amounted to 12 000 dollars. An additional 55 000 dollars was needed for the operation to remove the tumor that her mother had in her breast. She was too embarrassed to mention this to anyone, but now someone just paid covered all her costs.She looked at Warren's back as he disappeared into the horizon. She left everything at the stall and ran as quickly as her legs could carry her, after him. However, the moment he disappeared from her sight, she never saw him again. It was as if he vanished into thin air. Dejected, she returned to her stall to pack up. She reached her goal, so she didn't want to hang around any longer. Her demeanor changed after she received the phone call. She seemed as if she

We are going to mention the top 3 groups who have raised the highest amount during this fundraiser. Get ready for it!"All the students were becoming restless.

They raised a combined amount of 20 000 dollars."There were gasps all around campus. Everyone was shocked. Who would have donated such a huge amount of money? 'It's crazy to think what people do with their money,'

After she went down from the platform, Christina approached Warren. She was planning on thanking him, but after she saw so many eyes on them, she thought it would be best to leave it for later. When she stood in front of him, tears welled up in her eyes and she could only look at him with gratitude. As she was about to cry, Warren touched her hand and smiled. She was taken aback by Warren's actions and quickly retrieved her hand, however a few students already saw it."Look, Warren is trying his luck with that girl.""He doesn't have a conscience or any shame. After hearing she has 30 000 dollars, he is trying his luck with her," another student said."He is really pitiful. It's one thing to be poor, but he is so shameless that he would do something like this in public.""You could see the tears in Christina's eyes.

"Good evening, Ma'am. A reservation for two I assume?" the receptionist asked when she saw Warren and Christina. She could see by the way Warren dressed, that he was not the one capable enough to book a table at the Heavenly Sky Diner."Yes Miss. We would like a table for two, however we didn't book in advance," Christina said with a smile. She thought that it wouldn't be a problem if she didn't book a table since she could afford the costs anyways."I'm sorry Ma'am, but if you didn't book a table in advance I cannot help you. I am working according to this list and if your name isn't on it, then I cannot help you," the receptionist said as she pointed to her tablet.Christina felt embarrassed. She really wanted to treat Warren to a meal at the fanciest restaurant in town, but now she couldn't even book a table.She look at Warren shyly and said "I'm so sorry, Mr Cole.

When Jennifer and Charles saw this scene they were left speechless. They couldn't wrap their head around it. It was clear as day that Warren had Christina didn't have a booking for a table. The receptionist even confirmed it. So why was Mr Lewis personally welcoming them into his prestigious restaurant. Charles couldn't take it any longer."Mr Lewis, good day. My name is Charles Chamberlain, the son of Christopher Chamberlain. I believe we have met."Mr Lewis looked at Charles with a frown. He was acquainted with Christopher Lewis and they often played golf together. Mr Lewis would occasionally give Christopher a few tickets to allow him entrance into the Heavenly Sky Diner if he ever wanted to come here for a meal. It seemed like Christopher didn't appreciate his hospitality, since he never attended the Heavenly Sky Diner once. He always gave his tickets to his son, because he didn't think much of Mr Lewis' sincerity."Yes, I believe we have. How ma

Warren and Christina enjoyed their meal in relative peace.'It feels good to talk to someone without getting judged,' Warren thought. What was even better for him, was the fact that Christina never once asked about where the 100 000 dollars came from that he donated to her. She felt guilty already, so she didn't want to remind Warren of the money that he lost.Since Warren didn't want to be reimbursed, Christina felt that treating him to dinner would be the next best thing. However, who would've thought that she couldn't even book a table at such a classy restaurant without Warren's aid.
