Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations

The scene was enveloped in a heavy silence as the news of Ethan's house ownership settled in.

Some of the students continued to exchange wide-eyed glances, their mouths hanging open in disbelief. Some of them were still struggling to comprehend that Ethan, the scholarship boy they had always looked down upon, could actually own a property in such a prestigious estate.

At that moment Old master Benjamin, with his brow furrowed and lips pressed tightly together, finally shattered the silence.

He cleared his throat, with skepticism lacing his voice along with a touch of condescension.

"I find it hard to believe that this information is accurate,"

he stated, his gaze fixed on Ethan, searching for any hint of dishonesty.

"I will personally investigate this matter and confirm the true owner of the property. Because I know It's possible there's someone else with the same name as Ethan that owns the house, and he somehow got wind of it."

He stroked his chin, already plotting how to uncover the truth.

At that moment all of the students nodded in agreement, their expressions a mix of relief and vindication knowing Ethan was lying, and old man Benjamin just confirmed it.

immediately some of them gathered in a tight circle, whispering among themselves, their voices tinged with a desperate need to hold onto their preconceived notions about Ethan. "There's no way he could actually own a house like that,"

one scoffed, rolling their eyes.

"It's just a coincidence with the name, and I'm so sure he knew about it due to luck. He's probably just trying to show off it"

Amidst the whispers and speculation,

the media department's big guy stepped forward, with a smug grin plastered on his face.

He puffed out his chest, his voice oozing with self-importance as he said.

"I have an idea that would end all of this Speculations and insensitivity,"

He said gazing at Ethan with a mockery smile.

Immediately Everyone attention turned to him.

"I'm throwing a party at my house in the estate this weekend. Since Ethan claims to have a place in the same area, why don't we all go check it out for ourselves?"

He scanned the scene, looking for approval from his peers, his eyes sparkling, he wanted everyone to agree unanimously.

Upon hearing what the guy just said the students erupted in a chorus of agreement, their faces lighting up with excitement at the thought of exposing Ethan's supposed lie and at the same time entering the estate for a party.

They turned to Ethan, their eyes shining with a mix of challenge and mockery.

"You'll be there, right, Ethan?"

they asked, their voices dripping with false sweetness.

"You wouldn't want to miss the chance to prove yourself, would you? Since it's just some minutes walk from your place to his"

They chuckled, nudging each other with their elbows, convinced that Ethan would back down since his secret would be exposed.

Upon hearing what they just said Ethan, jaw clenched and eyes blazing with determination to humiliate them even more, he met their gazes head-on.

He straightened up, his voice steady and unwavering as he replied.

"Of course I'll be there. I have nothing to hide. I'll show you my house and put an end to all this doubt once and for all."

He stood tall, his shoulders squared and head held high, refusing to be intimidated by their taunts.

'No need for too much talk, they'll see the truth for themselves,'

he thought to himself, with a flicker of satisfaction igniting within him.

All of the students nodded they knew Ethan would reject the offer, but he didn't which means he's ready to be sacrificed when he gets exposed.

At that moment Old master Benjamin observed the exchange between Ethan and the rest of them students quietly, his eyes narrowed and mind racing with thoughts different. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Ethan than met the eye, but the notion of a scholarship student owning a multi-million dollar property seemed utterly absurd to him.

"If he's telling the truth,"

he mused, fists clenching at the thought.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Then there's something much bigger going on here. But if he's lying..."

immediately a wave of anger washed over him, his face reddening at the idea of being deceived by a mere student.

However he decided to let it go for now, soon he's going to get to the root of everything.

The event continued and everyone carefully listened to old master Benjamin's words.

As the event came to an end and the students started to leave for school, After some time in school Ethan stepped out of the university, his mind a whirlwind of emotions of what had just happened.

The pressure of the upcoming weekend weighed heavily on him, but he knew he had to confront it. He couldn't allow them to keep underestimating and belittling him, if showing them the house would shut their mouth up he's ready to do so.

"I'll show them."

he murmured to himself, his resolve strengthening with every step.

Just as he emerged into the fresh air, his phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.

He looked at the screen, his heart racing when he saw Serenity's name.

With a sense of urgency, he picked up the call, his voice laced with concern.

"Serenity? What's wrong?"

He could hear the quiver in her voice, and a knot tightened in his stomach.

Her voice came through, weak and shaky.

"Ethan, I'm at the hospital,"

she said, her words punctuated by sniffles and sobs.

"Please if you don't mind, I want to talk to you about something."

Ethan nodded.

"No problem, I will be with you shortly."

Ethan said then ended the call when serenity told him her unit room number.

Without a second thought, Ethan entered a taxi heading to the hospital, his heart racing and his mind flooded with worst-case scenarios.

"Please, let serenity be okay,"

he silently prayed, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles started turning white. "Serenity needs me. I can't let her down."

Not long after they arrived at the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital Ethan went straight to the serenity unit, he found Serenity in tears, her face pale and her eyes red and swollen.

She looked up at him, her gaze filled with desperation and fear. Ethan's heart shattered at the sight of her.

Before Ethan could say anything Serenity uttered.

"Ethan, please,"

She pleaded, her voice barely a whisper.

"You have to help me. Noah is..."
