Josh was quick to defend himself. "He is lying, I did not..." Josh began to defend himself, but his words were swiftly cut off by Professor Roberto's authoritative voice. "Quiet, my office now," Professor Roberto demanded, leaving no room for further explanations.Although what was happening was BLT fair, Josh had no choice. And he was used to stuff like this happening. Being the victim and getting punished for it, was nothing new to him.Amelia, who stood behind Josh, rolled her eyes, after hearing professor Roberto ordering Josh to go to his office. And she couldn't believe that this was how the professors at this college acted. It wasn't hard for one to realize that Josh was the victim, as Brian already had a reputation of bullying Josh.Under normal circumstances, Amelia might have cared less about Josh, or the baseless accusations he was facing, but they had urgent matters to attend to, and Josh being summoned to Mr. Roberto’s office would only delay things and they wouldn't ge

Amelia, upon hearing Josh say that where he lived might not be as bad as she was imagining, couldn't help letting out another mocking chuckle, thinking he was trying to pretend that his situation wasn't as bad, when in reality it was bad. Infact it was embarrassing. She didn't understand how someone could live that kind of life. “Yeah right.” She chuckled mockingly. Although at first when Josh had seen Amelia and saw that she was just another rich person he had suspected that she just wanted to make fun of him just like half the people he always came across at college. However that impression of her had started to change when Brian had showed up with his minions and he had witnessed her defense of him. When that had happened, he had even felt guilty for being rude towards her earlier.It had briefly painted a different picture of her in his mind, thinking she might be different from everyone else. But now that he was faced with the reality of her mockery of his financial situation, he

Josh drove quietly through the city street's with Amelia in his car. He could tell that she wanted to ask him a lot of questions. And it was normal and expected that she would have so many questions, after thinking he was nothing but a loser this whole time, only to find out that the person she thought was a loser and made fun of, owned a luxurious car, even more expensive that the one she drove. Josh was just hoping that she wouldn't ask those questions she had, because he didn't want to answer her. Honestly, he had no idea how he would explain it to her. It was not like he could just tell her that he was a De La Cruz. While it would answer her questions, that would surely be a bad idea. The last thing he wanted was for people to know that he was connected to the mafia world.If Josh were to confide in Amelia, she would undoubtedly spread the information to everyone, so he didn't plan on telling her. And if she was going to ask him how he got rich, he had planned to just fabricate a

A frown made it's way to Josh's face upon hearing Mario's remark. Feeling annoyed by his comments Josh glared at him. But despite the cutting remark from Mario, Josh chose to maintain his composure, choosing not to give him a response. Giving mario a response would only undoubtedly encourage him, so it was best to ignore him. Turning his attention back to Amelia, Josh awaited her response to the offer of refreshments.Amelia glanced at Mario and then at Josh, sensing the underlying tension between them. She wondered who the young man who had just walked in was, and why was he been so disrespectful to Josh? Turning her gaze towards Josh, she declined the offer with a polite smile, "No, thank you. Let's just focus on the assignment."Mario, grew increasingly annoyed by Josh's composed demeanor and lack of reaction to his taunt. He couldn't shake off the frustration. His comment was intended to hurt Josh's feelings and to make him respond. But to his disappointment Josh didn't look that

After concluding his conversation with his grandfather, Josh made his way back inside the expansive mansion. As he walked down the hallway toward his bedroom, Mario was also walking down the hallway. His gaze was on his cellphone, so it didn't look like he was looking where he was walking.The same thing could be said about Josh, as he was also looking at his cellphone, scrolling through his college's group chat to see if Amelia had posted anything about him. He couldn't help but worry that she might expose the fact that he was actually a rich person pretending to be poor to everyone. As he scrolled down, and noticed that she hadn't done any such thing, yet, Josh let out a sigh in relief.Just then, as he was still looking at his phone, Josh unexpectedly crossed paths and bumped into Mario, or rather, it seemed Mario deliberately collided with him. Looking at Mario, Josh expression hardened, angry at Mario for colliding into him.Mario also looked mad as he glared at Josh. "Watch wher

When Antonio had informed Josh that he should accompany him, Josh had initially declined. But Antonio insisted, leaving him no choice. Josh sighed, internally reminding himself that this was what he had signed up for, so he had to go. He didn't have much choice. Looking over at Antonio, he nodded saying, “Alright, I'll be with you in a second.” He needed some time to compose himself, before he could leave.Antonio nodded in understanding, replying. “Alright, be quick alright. It won't take long.” He sighed, approaching Josh and parting him on the shoulder,l as he continued, “We'll be back here in a minute, I promise.” saying that Antonio turned around and made his way out of the room, leaving Josh to his thoughts.As the door closed behind Antonio, Josh reclined on the bed, another sigh escaping his lips. The prospect of engaging in illegal activities, particularly being involved in drug operations with Antonio, sent shivers down his spine. The internal conflict of participating in a

Mario, his eyes looking into Josh's eyes, inched closer. “Keep moving, street rat. What does the name offend you so much? But that's what you are, and you'll always be…..” Mario was about to go on, insulting Josh, making sure he understands who he was and where his place in the family was, but before he could continue Antonio stepped in.“Alright, enough both of you.” Antonio growled, as he approached the two of them. “Mario, can you guys not fight right now? Let's go.” He demanded. Tension filled the air. Mario nodded in agreement. However as he walked past Josh, he deliberately bumped into him with slight force intending to push him out of the way, but Josh didn't move. In response, Josh turned around, shooting him an angry glare, but didn't say anything. Mario's persistent actions were becoming increasingly bothersome, and Josh disliked it. It was evident that Mario aimed to oust Josh from the family, using any means necessary, and he showed no intention of stopping until he succe

The man scrutinized Josh with a suspicious look. Josh had tried to remain nonchalant, trying to blend in the whole time, but he just couldn't, the uneasiness he felt was showing although he tried to hide it, and when the man had seen it, he became suspicious of him..The man's suspicion was understandable. Josh's appearance, both in his attire and aura, didn't align with the typical presence in that room, making it reasonable for the man to question his presence among them.After the man had asked who Josh was, Josh snapped out of his thoughts, his eyes meeting with them man's emotionless gaze. He took a brief second to collect his thoughts, and compose his words before he replied. “Josh.”The man, looking at him from head to toe with a suspicious gaze asked. “What brings you here Josh? How did you get in here.”Given his involvement in drug dealing, the man maintained a heightened sense of alertness, constantly wary of potential threats, suspecting individuals who acted weird and susp

Mr. Ramirez’s gaze remained cold as he looked at Dante. “Where is this… Reaper?” he asked Dante hesitated, shaking his head in denial. “I… I don’t know, sir.”Mr. Ramirez studied him for a long moment, his expression unreadable. Before he could say anything else, the waiting room doors burst open.Mateo’s parents, Catalina and Dean, rushed inside, their faces filled with worry. Marco followed closely behind them, equally as worried.“Dad, how is my son? Where is Mateo?” Catalina asked, her voice shaking.Josh tensed as he watched them. It was the first time he had ever seen Mateo’s parents in person. Since Matteo was his cousin, then the woman must be his mom's sister, his aunt. Josh also noticed a resemblance between her and him, it was subtle but still noticeable. Mr. Ramirez turned to them. “I have spoken to the doctor. He is stable… we’ll be able to see him soon.”A shaky breath of relief escaped Dean's mouth. “Thank God.”Catalina clutched her husband’s arm, but the worry in

Reaper stepped back, yanking the knife free from Mateo's side.Mateo staggered backward, his hand instinctively flying to his side, pressing against the wound. He felt weak, struggling to stay on his feet.Warm blood seeped between his fingers. His breath came out in uneven gasps, his body refusing to keep up with what had just happened. He did not think Reaper would pull a knife and take this too far.Josh was in shock for 5 full seconds,but as soon as he was back to his senses he called out, “Mateo!” He lunged forward, catching his cousin before he could collapse completely.The garage fell into stunned silence. Even The Ghosts looked momentarily unsure, shifting uncomfortably as if they hadn't expected Reaper to take it this far.Leo swore under his breath and rushed to Mateo’s side. “Shit. Quick, we need to get him out of here. Now.”Dante, who had been frozen in shock, suddenly snapped back to reality. He turned to Reaper, his expression unreadable. “What the fuck did you just do

Mateo exhaled loudly, his irritation evident. “I can’t believe Dante invited those guys,” he muttered, shaking his head.Just then, as if summoned by the complaint, a man around Mateo’s age approached them. “What’s up, fellas?” he greeted cheerfully, completely ignorant to Mateo’s scowl.Mateo frowned as he glared at him. “Dante, what the fuck! You invited that guy here?” He asked angrily, but in a hushed tone. Dante frowned. “What are you talking about?” Mateo gestured toward the Ghosts with a glare. “Why the hell are they here?”“Oh, you mean Reaper and his friends?” Dante rubbed the back of his neck, realizing what he had done by inviting Reaper here. He didn't think Mateo would be here when he invited Reaper. But now, he realized that he shouldn't have, not only was Mateo probably feeling betrayed by him, but the whole party was nervous and they were right to be so. “Yeah… I told them to stop by.” Dante replied.“Why?”Dante sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Look, it’

Four people walked through the door, and strolled in like they owned the place.Josh didn’t recognize them, but the party’s reaction told him everything he needed to know. These guys weren’t just regular party guests.He overheard snippets of whispers around him. Everyone was surprisingly talking about how much trouble these guys were. That they shouldn't be here.“Shit, what are they doing here?” Someone asked irritably.“Who the hell invited the ghosts here?”“This is about to get messy…”As Josh listened more he caught the name. The four guys who walked in were members of The Ghosts, a gang known for their ruthless reputation and the fear they left in their wake.They weren’t just infamous, they were the kind of people no one wanted to cross. Wherever they showed up, trouble followed, and from the way the entire party fell silent, it was clear everyone knew it.The group walked in confidently, completely unfazed by the attention they were getting. One of them, a tall guy, known as

Josh's eyes widened slightly at Mae's question. What made her think she was a De La Cruz? Well, the De La Cruz family was one of the college's sponsors, so it wasn’t surprising that some people might assume things.Plus, Mae didn't assume anything wrong. Still, no one was supposed to know he was a De La Cruz, yet.Just as Josh was about to answer Mae’s question, the professor’s voice sounded in their ears."New girl, Mr. Josh, if you're done with your little conversation, perhaps you’d like to pay attention to the lesson?" The professor sad sternly.Josh immediately turned back to face the front, straightening in his seat. Mae also did the same, however there was an amused glint in her eyes.Josh exhaled quietly. He was glad that the professor had intervened because that was close. He wasn’t sure how much Mae actually knew about him, but for now, the topic had been dropped, at least for the moment.After classes ended, Josh left campus and arrived home in the evening. The moment he s

“Uh... umm...” The student stammered, his earlier confidence disappearing. Josh’s calm yet commanding demeanor, his unblinking gaze, and the way he stood there , blocking his exit, made it clear this wasn’t the same Josh they were used to seeing. He was scary.Kathy scoffed, leaning forward with a look of smug amusement. "Oh? Or what?" she challenged, her voice still filled with mockery. "What’s your next move if he doesn’t pick it up?”Josh’s eyes shot to her briefly before he replied simply, “You’ll see.”“Is that a threat?”At that immediate moment, right behind Josh, the principal entered as well. His expression remained unreadable as he scanned the room before his gaze landed on Kathy."Kathy.” He called out to her, and without any hesitation he said, “You're expelled from this university.”Kathy felt the blood drain from her face upon hearing the principal's words. “Excuse me?” Her voice broke as the words sank in. She blinked rapidly, sure she must have misheard him. Expelled?

A murmur of confusion filled the lecture hall upon hearing Josh's bold words. A few students exchanged uncertain glances. It was hard to tell if he was simply putting on an act to show off to Mae, or if he was being serious. They were certain at first that he was putting on an act, however now they weren't any more. No one would be this confident when their future was on the line, especially someone like Josh, who supposedly had everything to lose.“What does that mean?” someone whispered.“Is he still pretending?” another scoffed, though there was a slight hesitation in their voice now. The initial impression that Josh was acting had started to crack, and the possibility that he might actually be serious lingered.Kathy, too, hesitated for a brief moment, her smirk wavering slightly as she considered the possibility that Josh might actually be serious.But she caught herself quickly, rolling her eyes. “Please,” she scoffed. “You’re just embarrassing yourself at this point.”Just t

Kathy's eyes snapped to Josh, her glare sharp as she processed his words. When she threatened to have him kicked out of college, she expected him to be so afraid. After all, Josh valued his education so much and he would do anything to not get kicked out of the only college that accepted him. It was his only escape from the poverty he was trapped in, and he would do whatever it took to stay enrolled.But his response wasn’t what she expected.What did he just say? The audacity of him to speak to her, as if he were her equal? As if he had the right to challenge her?In reality Josh wasn't even close to being her equal, he was nothing but a pauper, and so seeing him try to challenge her, annoyed her.And it wasn’t just her. The entire lecture hall seemed to be stunned into silence.Josh wasn’t known for standing up for himself before. He was supposed to keep his head down, to be grateful for even being here. But now? Now he was looking at her like she was the inferior one.It was immed
The Lost Son's Return Chapter 179
Having had enough, Josh was about to react. His fingers formed into fists and clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. His jaw was locked, barely containing the words he wanted to spit back at Kathy and the rest of them.But just as he was about to unleash everything he was holding back, his attention was drawn elsewhere when someone called out to him.“Josh!” a familiar voice echoed from the doorway. Josh’s head snapped toward the sound, his eyes widening as he spotted Mae walking into the lecture hall. He was taken aback. What was she doing here in his class?The whole class turned to see who had interrupted them just as they were about to get what they wanted: Josh's reaction. And to their surprise, it was a pretty girl, around twenty years of age. Mae stood there, her gaze fixed on Josh, a friendly smile lighting up her face as she approached him.The atmosphere in the room shifted. Who was this girl, and how did she know this loser Josh?What surprised them even more was
