The Lost Son's Return Chapter 68
Ignoring the stares and the talks about him from some of the students, Josh continued on his way. He knew he couldn't pay attention to them as it was what they wanted, also he was used to people disdainfully staring his way and talking bad, so it didn't really affect him anymore. “Hey loser, I know you can hear me.” The curly haired blonde guy called out after seeing that Josh had ignored him completely, embarrassing In Front of his friends.And he was hoping that after calling him out like that, Josh would finally stop, however to his disappointment it was like his words fell on deaf ears.Josh continued walking nonchalantly until he reached the classroom door. He pushed the door open and stepped inside. Upon entering the classroom, Josh noticed that the majority of his classmates had yet to arrive, and a sense of relief washed over him, knowing he was early this time, unlike the previous occasion when he was five minutes late, and he was given detention. But Josh was certain that

Miss Andrews led Josh to the teacher's lounge where she was going to have a talk with him about something. Entering the teacher's lounge behind Miss Andrews, Josh looked around, as he was expecting that the moment he entered the lounge, he would be met by some stern looking teachers and professors, however to his slight relief and surprise he noticed that it was empty. As Josh stepped further inside the room, Ms. Andrews' walked over to the door and shut it gently. Her hand lingered on the doorknob for a moment, her eyes flickering with an unreadable emotion before she turned to face Josh and gestured for him to take a seat. “Have a seat, Josh “ Complying with her, Josh walked over to a seat and sat down as instructed by Ms. Andrews. Mrs Anderson also did the same,she walked over and sat down opposite Josh. With a concerned look, Josh looked over at her as he asked, "Is everything alright?"Ms. Andrews smiled faintly, assuring him with a nod, emphasizing that there was no need

The woman noticing that not only did Josh almost make her fall down on her face, he had also made her spill coffee on herself, couldn't help feeling angry. She glared at Josh, her frustration now directed at the ruined clothes. "Look what you did! My outfit is ruined!" she exclaimed in a accusatory tone. She was blaming Josh for the collision, when in reality it was her fault for focusing on her cellphone and not looking where she was going. Josh was already almost seated when she bumped into him.Josh, still caught off guard, let out an apology, "I'm sorry, it was an accident." He said humbly. Although he acknowledged that she was the one who collided with him because apparently she was too occupied by her cellphone, Josh chose to humble himself and apologize to avoid any unnecessary issues.However, the girl, now more concerned about her coffee stained clothes than the collision, didn't care about his apology. Him apologizing after he had just made her spill hot coffee all over her

Ever since Amelia found out that Josh came from a wealthy family, she harbored a desire to befriend him. However, she knew that her previous behavior, including mocking him and calling him poor, had likely made that impossible. But the incident in the cafeteria had presented an unexpected opportunity for her to try and impress him.Josh was taken aback by Amelia defending him. It was a rare occurrence for him to receive support from a fellow student in such situations. In the past, others had typically avoided getting involved, fearing they would become targets of the same hate he endured. That's why Amelia's courageous act surprised him so much. Her willingness to stand up for him, despite the potential backlash, caught him completely off guard.However, his surprise didn't last long as he quickly realized that she was probably only coming to his defense because she knew he was rich. If he was poor, there was no way she would have done that. The only reason she was doing it now was b

Upon hearing Mark's proposal about a wager, Amelia nodded without hesitation. “Not a problem, what's the wager?” She asked. She wasn't worried about Josh not being able to afford the outfit, knowing that he is rich. In Fact she was suspecting that Josh might come from a richer family than her, seeing as he drove a more expensive car, and on top of that the mansion he lived in was very luxurious.Being ignorant of Josh's background, Mark was convinced that Josh was a poor guy, and he couldn't possibly afford to replace the shirt.A sinister and satisfied smile appeared on Mark's face upon hearing Amelia agree to the bet. Amelia's agreement to the bet was basically saying she was fine with everyone seeing Josh embarrassed. Mark was convinced Josh couldn't buy an expensive designer shirt with his money situation. "Alright," he said, eyeing Josh with a smug grin "If you can't buy Vanessa here the shirt you have ruined “ he said with a glance towards the girl as he addressed her by her nam

Turning to locate the source of the voice, Josh's eyes landed on a familiar face, and a frown appeared on his features as recognition set in. It was Kathy, his ex-girlfriend, standing there with a smirk that got on his nerves. Kathy entered the boutique with a confident smirk spread across her face. She was dressed in a tight sleek black dress that accentuated her curves, and her outfit was completed with stylish heels. As she walked further inside the boutique, she finally stopped walking and turned to look at Josh with a disdainful look. “What do you think you're doing here?” She asked, her face twisting into a disgusted expression. For some reason, seeing his face made her feel irritated. And on top of that, to her, seeing Josh in such an upscale establishment was like catching a cockroach in a five-star restaurant. He was so clearly not someone who could afford a thing in such a luxurious boutique, the price tags likely giving him heart palpitations. "Shouldn't you be looking f

Kathy had attempted to make Josh's experience in the boutique awful, however to her disappointment, Josh simply ignored her as it she was nothing. And of course that bothered her to the core. No one ignored her as if she was nothing, especially not a loser like Josh. Who did he think he was? Watching Josh ignore her and walk away as if she didn't even exist only served to exacerbate Kathy's irritation. Every feature of him seemed to step on her nerves, from his detached demeanor to the way he seemed to effortlessly disregard her presence.Despite initially coming to the boutique for her own personal reasons, the sight of Josh had ignited a desire within Kathy to mock and embarrass him. And when she saw that he was there with Amelia, that desire grew even more, wanting to show Amelia how much of a pathetic loser the man she had associated herself with was.Her gaze followed him as he walked away, each step fueling her simmering rage. Kathy seethed with frustration as Josh walked away

Feeling the pressure of Kathy's constant belief that he had no money, Josh wanted to show her she was wrong. But the challenge lay in finding a way to demonstrate his solvency without succumbing to the pressure of her skepticism.Amelia, who was standing beside Josh, couldn't believe what she was hearing from Kathy. At this point, it became very clear to her that Kathy was not as good a person as everyone thought. If anything, what was happening only showed that she was bitter. For some reason, she seemed intent on making Josh's life difficult. It was evident that Kathy harbored a lot of hatred towards him. But why? Weren't they once a couple? So, why did she hate him so much? Amelia pondered to herself.Hearing that Josh's account had been frozen for fraudulent activities, the receptionist believed Kathy instantly. It was easy for her to believe Kathy someone she knew over Josh someone she didn't know. Darting her gaze towards Josh, she gave him a disgusted look as she handed him the

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?
The Lost Son's Return Chapter 181
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
