The Lost Son's Return Chapter 96
Josh was very determined to keep his true identity hidden, and so he had decided to get off from the Rolls Royce a short distance before reaching his college. He knew that arriving at the college in the Rolls Royce would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention, and when people saw that it was him who had arrived in it, they would raise eyebrows. The thought of them finding out that he was connected to the De LA Cruz made him slightly nervous. It was not that he cared that they would think bad of him: in fact he would have loved if everyone knew that he wasn't the same person they knew and alway bullied, and made fun of. What made him not want anyone to find out was because he knew that he was now a part of something illegal, and he feared that he would attract unwanted attention, particularly from the police or other law enforcement authorities pursuing the De La Cruz family. Although the De LA Cruz family seemed to have total control of the city and had some powerful figures on their

Mark's friends behind him, along with other students who had been standing by in the hallway and paying attention to what was happening, chuckled upon hearing his mocking words. Mark had insulted Josh, and accused him of losing the bet, and naturally, they found it amusing. After all, it was what they all expected from someone like Josh. The moment Amelia had accepted the bet for him, Josh had already lost, and everyone knew that.However, what everyone didn't know was that Mark was actually the one who had lost the bet between them. And the only reason Mark was this confident was that he had no idea about Josh. In fact, none of them had any idea about his newly found wealth, still thinking that he was the same poverty stricken person he once was.A confident grin played on Josh's lips as he observed the amused murmurs coming from the crowd, as they thought he had lost. Josh was eager to witness their reaction once he shattered their assumptions. It was evident that they all presumed

Josh and Vanessa's classmates were astounded by the revelation that Vanessa had made. How could Josh, of all people, afford to replace an outfit worth thousands of dollars? It seemed utterly impossible to them. While some of them didn't want to doubt Vanessa and just believed her because of who she was: some of them were having a hard time believing it, or rather they didn't want to believe it, because they believed that there was simply no way Josh could manage to do that. However, despite their disbelief, the fact that Vanessa, the intended recipient of the outfit, confirmed it made them reconsider. After all, it was Vanessa who had said that, and they knew what type of person she was, so why would she lie about it? Also, they knew that Josh was obligated to replace the outfit after spilling coffee on Vanessa's previous one. If he hadn't fulfilled his obligation, surely Vanessa would have mentioned it to them.Mark, like some of the students in the hallway ,was skeptical. Although

Hesitantly, Mark snatched the receipt from Vanessa's hand, his expression shifting into one of shock as he examined the details. He just couldn't believe what he was seeing. His eyes widened in disbelief as he scanned the receipt, his gaze fixating on the high price of the outfit. Not only did the loser manage to afford the outfit it seemed, but the staggering amount that the outfit cost was far beyond Mark's expectations. According to the receipt, the outfit that Josh had allegedly purchased cost more than $35,000, and that was more than the outfit he had ruined. Mark couldn't fathom how the broke Josh could have possibly come up with that amount of money. He continued examining the receipt, noting other details typical of receipts. But it was the cost that struck him the most, shaking his confidence and leaving him speechless. 'This can't be real. No way that loser bought this.' Mark's mind raced with thoughts, refusing to accept the truth. Josh had won, Vanessa had confirmed it,

Vanessa didn't need to say it; Josh could already tell what she was implying with her words. Surely she was suggesting that he must be hiding something about himself, because if not, why would someone like Mr. Sanchez be afraid of him at all? It meant that he was someone powerful, otherwise there was no way Mr Sanchez would have treated him the way he did.And the fact that when she asked him about it, he suddenly became slightly nervous and blurted out that she was mistaken only reinforced to Vanessa that he was indeed hiding something. His nervous reaction was proof of that. She gave him a suspicious look as she continued. “Really. Mr. Sanchez wouldn't have given you so much respect, and even given you something for free, if you weren't at least someone important.” she said, looking at his expression as she waited for him to say something.Well, she was onto him alright. It seemed like she really believed that he was lying about himself, making everyone believe he was a poor person:

But even that wasn't all. He was also adorning a Rolex Daytona Rainbow Cosmograph, a highly desired and luxurious timepiece known for its colorful gemstone bezel. Although it might have appeared modest at first glance, Vanessa knew its true value. With an estimated price tag of tens of thousands of dollars, it only further confirmed her suspicions about Josh's true background. His choice of accessories, from the costly watch to the designer sneakers, painted a clear picture of a lifestyle far removed from that of an average college student.As she walked down the hallway, Vanessa wondered about Josh's motivations for hiding his true identity. If he was truly wealthy, why go through the trouble of pretending otherwise? The bullying and insults he constantly went through at college because of being a pauper, seemed unnecessary if he had the means to live comfortably without facing such discrimination. Vanessa was convinced that, there had to be a reason for his secrecy, and she was det

"What did you just say, loser?" Brian growled, his voice low and dangerous as he took a threatening step towards Josh, threatening to lash out at him. The audacity of Josh to shoot back, let alone insult him, was unbelievable and it fueled Brian's anger. How dare this loser insult him? And not only that, he didn't; but this pauper had also insulted him in front of a lot of people. Brian couldn't have that, he had to teach Josh a lesson, or he risked making everyone lose their respect for him.Brian felt a mix of anger and astonishment at Josh's unexpected defiance. For a while now, Brian had always treated Josh as a mere punching bag and Josh never really defended himself. Accepting his fate as Brian's punching bag, josh's lack of resistance had only made Brian confident in his ability to intimidate and dominate without facing any resistance. However, recent events had shattered that illusion.Brian recalled previous encounters with Josh, and he realized that this wasn't the first t

Hearing Josh's response, Brian was even more enraged, gritting his teeth as he said, “Who do you think you are?” he asked coldly, closing the distance between them until he was practically nose-to-nose with Josh.Not feeling comfortable with how close Brian was getting, Josh backed off slowly, creating a deliberate distance between them, a silent attempt to prevent the situation from escalating into physical violence. However, beneath his outward calmness, he could tell that a confrontation with Brian was inevitable, because Brian was not one to let such challenges to his authority go unanswered.Josh met Brian's eyes with an icy glint in his gaze."Someone who's about to rearrange your face if you don't back off.” Josh replied in a cold tone. There was a chilling glare in Josh's eyes, something Brian had never seen before, and it unsettled him slightly.Brian chuckled lightly, his amusement evident at Josh's sudden display of courage. To Brian, Josh trying to act tough wasn't very co
