Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 225

When Travis got to this point in the story, I was furious. I wanted nothing more than to tear Dylan and Roxanne limb from limb.

Travis consoled me and said, "Let me finish the story. We're not in any hurry to teach them a lesson."

Thankfully, Hailey ran out and saved Felicia just in time. They thought that the storm had blown over. Who knew that this was only the start of the nightmare?

The owner of the cruise wanted to propose to his girlfriend, only to realize that the ring was missing. The surveillance footage recorded a long-haired woman in a cap who had snuck into his room. So, he sent people to carry out a thorough search. They even searched everyone personally.

Surprisingly, they found the ring in Felicia's suitcase.

The owner was furious and asked his cronies to beat Felicia up.

At this moment, Travis arrived on the cruise on his helicopter.

I was fuming at this point. "I asked you to protect my girlfriend. Is this how you went about it?"

Travis scratched his head apologetically. "I thought if anything happened to your girl, it would only happen after her performance. Who knew so many things would happen the second she alighted the cruise?

"I was signing a contract with a client of mine. I couldn't piss him off just for your girlfriend, can I? I got there as soon as I could. I even took a helicopter."

I glared at him, trying to think of a rebuttal. But nothing came to me.

If blame were to be cast on anyone, it had to be on me and my incompetence. I hadn't got onto the cruise in time to save Felicia.

Not a single person could protect her in a situation where she was helpless and despondent. I almost couldn't bring myself to imagine how hopeless she felt…

After this, Felicia was badly hurt. She had bruises on her face. Because of this, she could no longer take part in the performance. Roxanne took center stage, just as she wanted all along.

I was so angry I felt like exploding. In my absence, Felicia had been bullied relentlessly!

If I'= had been there, this would not have happened.

What broke my heart even further was that seven days had already passed when Travis finally told me about this.

Travis had an excuse for this. He said, "It's not that I didn't want to tell you immediately. Felicia wouldn't let me inform you. In fact, she begged me not to and said she would do it on her own. I thought it would be best for me to not meddle too much in your affairs. If not, it would place me in a precarious position. Who knew you two…"

Who knew that we would lose each other as a result?
