Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 213

Lina slowly lifted her head and looked at me through the mirror.

Our eyes locked, but an unfamiliar tension lingered in the air.

Her appearance and demeanor had changed.

Despite being only 20 years old, she dressed and carried herself like someone in her mid-20s.

While she looked stunning, something about it felt out of place.

Her gaze was strange too. It wasn't the disdainful look I used to know. Instead, it carried a mix of profound disappointment and resentment I couldn't quite understand.

What could I have done to make her look at me like that?

"Lina, do you know what Dorian said when you weren't around?" I said.

She remained expressionless at my words, simply staring at me.

Feeling helpless, I continued, "He said—"

"Did you and Felicia break up?" she suddenly interrupted, cutting me off mid-sentence.

I froze, startled by her question. "No," I answered instinctively.

"Then, are you two-timing her?" she asked.

I wondered what had led her to accuse me of such a thing.

"How could I possibly be two-timing?" I replied.

Still, that wasn't why I had approached her. I wasn't here to argue about Crystal or justify myself.

"Lina," I said firmly. "I'm here to warn you. Dorian isn't like your previous boyfriends. He's not a good person, and you can't afford to mess with someone like him. You should find a way to return his money and leave him as soon as you can. If you don't, you'll regret it later."

"Oh, really?" Lina sneered. "He's not a good person, but are you any better?"

She walked over to me, staring at me with a complicated expression. "You're already two-timing Felicia, so would adding a third really bother you?"

I froze. "What?"

Lina placed her hands on my shoulders and leaned in, resting lightly against me.

"William, I'm so tired," she said softly. "Can't I lean on you for a while? If you want a rich woman to support you, I can use the money I got from Dorian. Just stay with me, don't upset me, and be my shoulder to lean on when I'm worn out."
