Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 206

"This guy is no ordinary person. Let me introduce him to you!" Lily said with a mischievous grin as she strutted toward me, pointing directly at my nose. "He's none other than Mr. White, the heir of the White family—one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the country!"

The crowd froze in disbelief. "The White family? You mean the White family in Gothville? No way! If the heir of the White family were coming to our gathering, Welsington City would be buzzing. There's no way we wouldn't have heard about it."

"Exactly!" someone added. "Lily, stop making things up."

Lily just smirked and raised a hand to calm them down. "Hold on, let me finish. Do you know what car he drives? A one-of-a-kind V8 Koenigsegg—the only one in Welsington City!"

The room went silent as the crowd processed this. "A V8 Koenigsegg? He owns that? Seriously?" someone said in shock.

Another person chimed in, "I heard someone spotted a Koenigsegg near Imperia Manor recently, but after that, it disappeared. Could it really be his?"

"And that's not all!" Lily continued, drawing out her words for effect. "He owns both the most expensive and the cheapest villas in Pelagos Estates. The most expensive one is worth 20 million dollars, and he's the owner!"

The room was silent for a moment. The people who had been in awe were now exchanging skeptical glances. They looked at Lily, then at me, unsure of what to believe.

"Lily, what are you playing at? If he's really that impressive, how have we never heard of him or seen him before?" another girl added.

Lily folded her arms and chuckled. "Well, that makes two of us. I've never heard of him or seen him either. All of this is what he said. I'm just repeating his words."

The crowd's attention snapped back to me, and their skeptical gazes sharpened. "He said it himself?"

Someone sneered. "Pfft! Is that how he managed to fool Crystal? With these wild stories?"

It was kind of sad, really.

Crystal, who had been watching everything unfold, suddenly stepped forward, biting her lip. "Enough! What are you laughing at? Listen up—starting today, William is my boyfriend. Anyone who disrespects him is disrespecting me!"

Her words instantly silenced the room. Even the guys playing instruments nearby stopped, glancing over in shock.

I was just as stunned. When had I agreed to be her boyfriend?

Crystal's outburst left me speechless. I had no idea how to explain myself to Felicia after this.
