Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 138

Even if Lina threw herself at me now, I still wouldn't want her back.

As expected, she started sobbing. "All this time, you were the one I loved, William. I was just too blinded by money, and I didn't realize how much I hurt you."

"I've come to my senses now. I don't care about money anymore. I just want you. Please, let's get back together," she begged.

Suddenly, she stood on tiptoes and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

I froze. I knew she wanted to get back together, but I never expected her to be so forward. How dare she kiss me when she knew I already had a new girlfriend!

I stepped back. "Stop, Lina. I have a girlfriend now."

"I know that, but I don't mind being your secret lover. Just give me a chance to make it up to you, William. I-I'll even give you my first time," Lina implored, tugging her neckline down.

What on earth was she saying?

My face immediately went crimson, and my heart raced. Although I knew I shouldn't, my eyes subconsciously followed the path down her shirt.

Just then, she threw herself at me, wrapping her arms tightly around my neck. "William, I'll be happy if you like me, even just a little. Nothing else matters anymore."

She continued, "I've realized how much of a bastard Ryan Hudson is, and I won't tolerate him any longer. I'll cut all ties with him once I pay back the money I owe him."

Ryan Hudson? Didn't she say they were just hanging out as friends?

Then, she asked, "So, um, William, could you tell me where you got all that money? If you didn't steal it, how did you manage to donate so much money while buying all those expensive clothes for Felicia?"

Lina's questions instantly slapped me back to reality. Everything became clear the moment she mentioned my money. Taking a deep breath to calm myself, I calmly replied, "I won the lottery. Didn't you know?"

"Let go, Lina! Calm down, and we'll talk. If you keep this up, I'm out of here."

All I could do now was try to calm her down. However, she refused to listen, keeping a vice grip on me. Things were getting worse. With no other choice, I grabbed her arm firmly and shoved her away. She stumbled and fell to the ground, staring at me in disbelief.

"William, you…"

I felt sorry for my actions but refused to help her when she brought this upon herself. After she picked herself up from the ground, I asked, "Have you calmed down now?"

Lina was about to approach me again, but I quickly stopped her. "Stay where you are. You can talk from there."

She gaped at me incredulously. "William, how could you treat me like that when I'm trying to make the first move?"
