Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 129

Ryan huffed and said, "The school would be liable for losing money. They wouldn't dare to call the police. That's why these two were let off the hook."

Everyone nodded. "That makes sense."

Lina chipped in, "Felicia, you had better come to your senses soon. Continuing to be with a guy like Ryan will only bring your demise. I'm telling you, if he dares steal a million from the school now, he'll be a common thief on the streets sooner rather than later. Who knows, maybe he might steal from you as well."

Everyone around the table cackled. Their mocking glares swept over us.

Felicia dug her nails into my palm. She couldn't stand being framed.

I squeezed her hand to console her and said softly, "Don't pay them any attention."

I had gotten used to this a long time ago. In addition, I'd asked Alan to investigate the lost money. His investigation would soon be published, and the truth would prevail. My attempts to clear my name now would be for naught.

"Let's eat."

Although the seats at the event were segregated based on the level of importance, the dishes served were the same.

I took a prawn and peeled the shell off for Felicia. She said hurriedly, "How could you do that for me? Put it down. I'll do it myself."

I laughed and asked, "Why? You're my girlfriend. Why are you acting so courteous? If you insist on doing it yourself, I will get mad."

When Lina saw the prize, she was so excited that she nearly leaped out of her seat. "Please, please God bless me with this prize. I'm willing to exchange ten years of Ryan's life for that watch."

Ryan choked and nearly spit out his wine. The others around the table were in a similar predicament. Their eyeballs bulged out of their sockets in disbelief.

It looked like this watch was extremely attractive. Scolding me was the last thing on their minds. Everyone stared at Mason unblinkingly, waiting for him to draw the last prize.

I turned to Felicia and asked, "Do you like it? If you do, we can go to the store, and I'll buy one for you later."

She shook her head immediately and said, "No."
