Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 101

"William, I'm treating you to a late-night snack tonight. If you don't mind, can you ask Felicia to stand to the side for a bit? I've been waiting here long enough," Veronica said, blinking her eyes at me in a way that was supposed to be flirtatious.

Unfortunately, her heavy eyeliner and eyeshadow, which looked like they were painted on, made me nauseous. I replied curtly, "Move aside, please."

Veronica's face immediately turned red with anger as she glared at me. "William, you'll regret this!"

I smirked. "How many times do I need to say this? Please move aside. Your boyfriend Louis is waiting at the front of the line. You used him to get ahead, then you just ditch him and stand here alone. Don't you feel even a little guilty or ashamed?"

The students nearby immediately cast Veronica disdainful glances when they heard my words.

"Seriously? She piggybacked her way up here?"

"Damn, how shameless. The person she rode on is standing off to the side, and she has the nerve to stay in the middle."

"This kind of woman is dangerous—she'll climb over anyone to get ahead. Plenty of guys will end up ruined because of her."

"Not necessarily. She's pretty average. Only losers like Louis would be interested in her."

"Move aside! Stop wasting time!"

The insults grew louder, and the host's face became more and more uncomfortable. I didn't hold back either and glared at her without mercy.

Finally, Veronica couldn't stand the pressure. She let out an angry shout and quickly walked out, heading straight for Louis.

I took the opportunity to pull Felicia closer.

I wasn't just being polite. Georgina was known for her frugal lifestyle and selflessness in helping others. Martin may not have been very wealthy, but he was always active in charity events.

As for me? I had simply donated some pocket money, and I didn't want to take up the spotlight. Moreover, I wasn't good at saying flattering things.

However, the host was insistent. "We'll certainly interview them as well, and their stories will be featured in the school magazine as nominees for the Top 10 Most Inspirational Figures on Campus. But your generous donation is also noteworthy, and we can't pass up the chance. Could you share what motivated you to contribute such a large amount?"

I hesitated for a moment, then decided that honesty was the best policy in this situation.

"Honestly, there wasn't any particular reason. Ten thousand dollars isn't much to me, so I just donated it casually. There's really nothing worth reporting."

To my surprise, my casual remark made the audience even more excited.
