Riches in Disguise

That one sentence sent everyone in the car into a frenzy. They never would have expected a university student to have 20 million dollars.

Well, I actually didn't have 20 million dollars. The money was my mom's. Although she gave me her card to use, I never did. I only used my monthly allowance to cover my daily expenses.

"What kind of university student can afford a villa here?"

"That's a dumb question. Obviously, it was a trust fund kid."

Lucas disagreed. "No. I don't think he's just any ordinary trust fund kid. To afford a 20-million-dollar villa, you have to be from one of the richest families in the country. "

Charlotte was shocked. "If even you are impressed, his family must be wealthier than yours then?"

Lucas replied with a bitter smile, "Although my family is well-off, we still have to think carefully before buying a 20-million-dollar villa. So, I don't think my family can compare to that person."

At least Lucas was humble enough to admit that. Honestly, his family's fortune couldn't even compare to any one of my family's assets.

However, all that belonged to my dad. So, I didn't like flaunting what didn't belong to me.

Even if I did want to flaunt, I'd wait until after I had a successful career. Only then could I flaunt what I'd worked hard for.

The driver wouldn't stop chattering. He continued to tell us the whole story he heard from his customer.

But he exaggerated a lot of the details, turning a boring story into something full of ups and downs. It made me feel embarrassed as if he was putting me on a pedestal.

Matthew exclaimed, "That trust fund kid is so generous. He actually gifted his employee a villa worth 700 thousand dollars? Now where can I sign up to be his employee?"

I laughed, "You want to work for him? I can help pull some strings."

Matthew is my best friend, so of course I'd give him the chance. Forget the 700- thousand-dollar villa. I'd even let him stay in my 20-million-dollar villa for a while if he wanted to.

Matthew didn't even get a chance to respond before Charlotte pushed my head from behind. "Who do you think you are? You're talking as if you know the trust fund kid!"

I sighed. "How is it your business whether I know him or not? I wasn't even talking to you."

Charlotte simply sneered in response. "Pfft. You're just trying to butt in on our conversation. Let me be very honest with you, William. We can tolerate having you around now just because we attend the same university, but when we all graduate, you won't even qualify to be our driver!"

I sneered back at her. "You want me as your driver? In your dreams."

"What did you say!"

Charlotte got angry, causing Lucas's expression to darken. "William, do you want

to get kicked out of the car? I can stop it right now and make you get out!"

I looked at him coldly, "But the cab was booked by my best friend, remember? So stop being so full of yourself."

"Do you want to die?"

Lucas lunged toward me, and I was ready to fight back. But Matthew pulled his hand away.

"Cut it out! We're all supposed to have fun today, so stop talking about unhappy things. William, chill out."

Fine then. I'll chill out.noveldrama

I turned my head and looked out the window in silence. I decided to ignore whatever awful comments Lucas and Charlotte made. But I made a decision in my head.

If Matthew ever invited me out again, I definitely wouldn't go!
