All Chapters of Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire : Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

For the next two days, Adrian and Susan were almost inseparable. From him showing up outside her classroom to her stopping by his, from quick chats at the counter to working on assignments together—they were always within reach of each other. Their connection felt effortless, as if an invisible string kept pulling them closer. On the second day, as school ended and students spilled out of the gates, Adrian and Susan strolled toward the waiting area where their drivers would pick them up. The warm evening breeze played with Susan’s hair, and Adrian found himself watching her more than he should have. "Tomorrow, I’ll be leaving for China," Adrian started, his voice carrying a weight she immediately picked up on. "We’ll be lodging there before the main events. You know, it's a long journey." Susan nudged him lightly, her smile teasing. "Make us proud, dude." Adrian chuckled but before he could reply, his phone rang. It was his driver. "Looks like I have to go," he said, glancing

As they walked up, Adrian whispered, “Guys… that’s a Fisher equation question. We got this.” The three took their seats. The screen lit up again with the same question. Adrian stared at it. “Alright,” he muttered, grabbing a pencil. “Inflation: 6.2%. Base rate: 4.5%. Real rate = nominal - inflation, right?” Luke nodded, already writing: “That gives us -1.7%. Negative real interest.” Richard added, “That discourages saving, encourages borrowing. Short-term boom, long-term… risky.” Adrian looked up at the clock. Still 18 seconds left. He turned to the judges. “We’re ready.” The room grew quiet. Adrian leaned forward and answered, breaking down the calculation clearly, then linking it to expected consumer trends. He sat back. There was a short pause… then a soft ding. The screen flashed green. Correct. A wave of applause followed. The judges gave approving nods. As the team walked off the stage, Adrian leaned toward Richard. “You still owe me lunch for the last one.” Richa

It was finally time. Adrian sat with his teammates, Luke and Richard, their eyes locked on the other team just a few feet away. The air was thick with tension. No one moved. No one blinked. Even the audience had gone quiet. The announcer stepped up to the mic. “For this final round,” he said, “each team will get their own questions. If you answer all your questions right, you’ll gain the lead. But if you miss any question, you lose points—and your question goes to the other team as a bonus. If both teams get all their questions right, there will be one final question for both of you. First team to answer it wins.” Everyone listened closely. “Right now, both teams are very close in points. So this could go either way. Pay attention and don’t panic.” Adrian nodded slowly, trying to calm the storm in his chest. Luke’s leg bounced nervously. Richard was stiff, focused like a hawk. “Team Solaris, come forward,” the announcer called. Adrian's stomach turned. They wanted the other team

Adrian didn’t expect university to feel this new.The place was big, the buildings wide and full of people. Every hallway smelled like paper and strong coffee. He wore his regular jeans and sneakers, trying not to stand out too much. No one knew he was the son of a billionaire—and that was just how he liked it.He was studying Energy and Mineral Resources Management—a course that mixed science and business. They learned about oil, gold, and how to find valuable things deep under the earth. It was hard, but he liked it.He sat in front during classes, always taking notes. Some of his classmates already respected him, not because of who he was, but because he worked hard and asked smart questions.But even with all of that, he still thought about Susan sometimes.He hadn’t seen her since graduation. He didn’t know where she went, or if she still remembered him. Maybe she had moved on. He tried to stop thinking about her, but some people are just hard to forget.One afternoon, after clas
