Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 295

Casper was very embarrassed. He finally understood how the words of some writers were true to life. It was appropriate for him to describe the current situation as “wanting to bury oneself in a hole.”

Lillian froze on the spot. She looked at Casper with a confused look as she hadn’t regained her senses after what had happened.

It was the taxi driver who broke the silence first. He let out a cough and said, “Ahem. Young folks today certainly know how to enjoy themselves. Hahaha.”

The awkward laugh of the driver did not save Casper at all. Instead, it increased his desire to die from embarrassment.

Lillian took a deep breath. She then looked at Casper’s phone and began to think why he would play that video in front of everyone.

Casper thought of a more reliable excuse and said, “This is a prank by a friend of mine. Don’t get me wrong. It’s the kind of video that looks very serious, but the audio is very strange. I was tricked.”

Casper explained himself like it was the truth. Lillian just nodded. He was unsure if she believed his words.

Lillian had also seen the prank videos that Casper mentioned. It was to trick people into clicking on it, and the video would play a strange sound to embarrass others in public. However, she had glanced at the picture in front of Casper’s phone screen before it darkened. It was quite shocking.

“Why are there… men?”

Lillian couldn’t comprehend. If Casper liked to watch pornographic videos, it would be normal to her because he was a guy. However, what he was watching earlier was very weird.

A daring thought suddenly came to her mind, causing her to shiver.

Lillian glanced at her body in a panic. Her appearance and figure were among the best in Business University, but why would Casper instinctively bounce away when she hugged him?

There are only two explanations. One, Casper has a girlfriend, and he is avoiding suspicion. Two, he is not interested in women…

When Lillian thought of the second possibility, she immediately felt mixed feelings in her heart. If the second possibility were true, she would be wasting her time with him.

Casper didn’t know whether he was being suspected of being gay or not. To change the subject, he was chatting with the taxi driver to divert his attention elsewhere.

When the taxi arrived at their destination, Casper and Lillian got out of the car. However, the two of them looked flustered and dumbfounded. They just stood there and didn’t move at all.

“Why don’t we have some food?” Casper suggested to Lillian, who was next to him.

“Um… Okay! Let’s go. The steakhouse in front of us serves delicious steaks.” Lillian came back to her senses and decided to take Casper to a steakhouse. She had given the place a lot of thought before choosing it. That steakhouse was the perfect place for her to buy Casper a meal in terms of taste, class, or style.

“Their beef is said to be one of the best in Horington. It’s also high-quality beef from all over the world, and the price is not too outrageous. I can still afford it,” Lillian said with a smile.

Casper was then dragged into a queue by her. Customers were given the option to select the raw beef and its weight before the steakhouse prepared it. On average, it cost about fifty for two hundred grams

of meat. For a steakhouse, the price wasn’t outrageous. However, if one wanted to have a satisfying meal, a lot of money had to be spent.

It would cost a few hundred for the two of them. Casper ordered a piece of rib-eye and a piece of steak that was five hundred each. The two pieces together were enough for him to eat.

On the other hand, Lillian chose a piece of sirloin steak after thinking for a long time. Then, she ordered two more drinks.

Casper chose medium rare for one piece of his steak and medium for the other. That way, both beef would taste great. Lillian usually worked out, but she couldn’t eat medium steak. So, she decided for her steak to be well done.

On a little platter, their beef was fried and chopped into pieces. It came with lettuce and broccoli on the sides. Then, to whet people’s appetites, it was served with a sauce and a salad.

The atmosphere in the steakhouse was pleasant. Together, the two were eating and conversing. After she talked about her brother’s recent developments, Lillian announced that she was going to sit for a test in hopes of becoming a fitness trainer.

Casper nodded as he listened. He then stuffed a piece of medium-rare beef into his mouth. It was a bloody piece of meat, but it also had the heaviest flavor. Paired with the sauce, he found that the steak was very much to his liking. He praised, “The beef cooked in this shop is really good, and the beef is well selected. No wonder so many people enjoy it.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Lillian asked, “Have you ever eaten Jetroinian beef? It is said to be very delicious.”

Beef from Jetroina was indeed famous all over the world. A piece of beef can be bought for a very high price, which was very expensive. Those beef cattle had been treated very well since they were born. In order to obtain the perfect quality of meat, those cattle had been listening to music, receiving

massages, and had the mental and physical pleasure since childhood. That was why their beef tasted delicious.

Casper nodded in agreement. “Ordinary people might focus on the price aspect of those beef. Although the price of the beef itself is more attention-grabbing than its taste, it is still very delicious.”

After Casper finished his sentence, there was a burst of laughter from the table next to him. “Hey, did you hear that? That country bumpkin said that he has eaten Jetroinian beef!”

Casper calmly looked at the table next to him. There were seven to eight young men and women at the table, with more men than women. One of the guys dressed in Armani was the most fashionable, and the others also saw him as their leader.

Lillian furrowed her eyebrows and rolled her eyes at those people.

However, her actions also aroused the interest of those people. The guy who was wearing the Armani outfit looked at her from head to toe lustfully.

“Miss, why don’t you come and sit with us? I can talk to you about Jetroinian beef, and I guarantee it’s true,” the guy shouted at Lillian.

She let out a scoff and ignored those people. She then said to Casper, “I hate those people who simply call me miss now and then. They are pea-brains.”

Casper didn’t expect Lillian to be so good at mocking people. He was puzzled and asked, “Why? Is there anything wrong with that?”

“There’s nothing wrong with addressing others. The problem here is the person who’s doing that. That guy is wearing the most trending outfit on the internet right now. He can’t wait to show off to others how fashionable he is.”

Casper listened and glanced at the guy. His facial features were indeed handsome, but the makeup on his face made him look a little feminine. Although Casper was often called a “pretty boy,” he never felt that he was a sissy. At the present moment, he finally understood the meaning of the word “sissy” when he looked at the guy.

Casper never liked to criticize people behind their backs. He didn’t want to say that the boy was neither male nor female. He then said to Lillian, “He is quite handsome, right?”

She looked at Casper strangely and asked, “So he’s your type?”

Casper was confused.

As the two were still looking at each other, the guy in Armani had already walked over. He put his iPhone directly in front of Lillian and asked, “Miss, you rejected my invitation to a meal. Then, can I add you on WhatsApp?”

Lillian directly gave him a rude gesture and said, “Go away, you sissy!” Since she met Casper, she had become braver.

The guy in Armani, Billy, was stunned for a moment. Then, an angry expression appeared on his face. What he hated the most was when others called him a sissy. “Aren’t you full of yourself!” he sneered.

Judging the current situation, Casper had to iron things out between them. He knocked on the table and asked, “Can you return to where you came from? Let’s stop arguing when we’re out here for a meal.”

Billy gave Casper a disdainful look and said, “Shut up, pauper. This meal alone will cost you half a month of your meals, right?”

Everyone in the steakhouse looked over. Casper felt troubled. How do I solve this? So many people are watching us.
