Riches in Disguise

"William, even if I did do something to hurt you, we were once the closest people who held and kissed one another. How could you pick on me with another woman? I would be hurt if you do this."

She stepped closer to me, her eyes as innocent as a fawn's. She then gently grasped the hem of my shirt.

"Could you give me the blue dress? I promise I'll treat you better in the future. Don't be fooled by how submissive Felicia acts around you. The moment a rich man pursues her, she'll immediately turn her back on you."

I laughed. Was she not just talking about herself? I wondered how many times she had deceived me before with that pretentious act of hers.

It was too bad that I had already built up a tolerance for her act. As such, I felt nothing as I remained as calm as still water.noveldrama

I grabbed her hand, and as a smile of joy appeared on her face, I abruptly flung it off and disdainfully flicked away the wrinkles she had created on my shirt.

"Lina, are you mistaken? Felicia isn't just any other woman-she's my friend. And it's not that she is submissive toward me. I'm the one pursuing her, understand?"

"What? You're pursuing her?" Lina was visibly shocked. She then slowly shook her head.

"Don't try to deceive me. Do you think I'm clueless? She's not your type at all. William, I know I've hurt you and that you resent me, but you can't just want some random woman, right?"

Felicia was indeed not my type, but it wasn't Lina's place to say that.

To keep Felicia from looking inferior in front of Lina, I deliberately said, "Felicia is prettier, kinder, and more considerate than you. Choosing her is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?"

The furious and embarrassed Lina began to yell, "I'm already throwing myself at you, but you're still choosing her over me? Are you blind?"

I let out a contemptuous chuckle. "If I liked you, then I really would be blind."

After saying that, I turned to Felicia, only to find her looking at me with a surprised

and touched expression. There were even tears in her eyes.

She was probably like this because of what I said to Lina. Feeling a little embarrassed all of a sudden, I scratched my head.

Right then, Ryan unexpectedly strode in. He had two smoothies in his hands. The moment he saw me, his eyes widened in shock. "William, why are you here? Y- you... Lina, you're..."

It was clear that he had misunderstood Lina and me as he revealed a horrified and hurt expression.

Lina shot a glare at me before rushing to Ryan's side to explain. "Please don't misunderstand. I just happened to run into him."

"You scared me. I thought you guys got back together. Lina, you absolutely mustn't associate yourself with this loser!"

Lina said with a smile, "Stop worrying. I wouldn't want him even if he was the last man on earth."

Ha ha. If she were the only woman left on the planet, I would rather castrate myself than be with her.

However, I was still pretty surprised to see Ryan show up. Lina had clearly dumped him, yet he was still here being a simp. How could someone be so pathetic?

Noticing my expression, Lina probably thought I was jealous and began to hold Ryan's arm as if trying to show off.

Ryan was obviously overjoyed by that, which prompted me to sneer. With how excited he was, it was clear to me that he rarely got the chance to touch her. That was probably the only thing I could give Lina credit for.

Despite juggling so many men, she was still able to keep her purity and not give herself to anyone. How was she able to achieve that?

Moreover, I really wondered what kind of man could get her to willingly give herself to him.
