Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 237

"If this is what you wanted, I'll give it to you!"

I huffed.

Dylan was apologizing as though he had done nothing wrong, not to mention how unwillingly he'd done so. As if I needed that from him.

I turned and left without giving him a chance.

He was dumbfounded.

"William, where are you going? Don't leave, William!"

He chased after me and attempted to get a hold of me. However, he was held back by the police.

Dylan continued screaming after me. His shrieks morphed from those of anger into terror, before dissolving into pleading sobs.

However, I did not turn back.

Since he was ballsy enough to mess with me, he would rot in prison for the next ten years while paralyzed with fear.

This was my last punishment to him.

In front of the prison, Crystal was huddled on the floor, looking extremely bored.

I approached her and she immediately looked up at me. "William, you've finally come out! How was it? Did you manage to get any information regarding Felicia?"

I shook my head slowly. There were still no developments.

"Don't worry. We live in a society addicted to social media. Disappearing without a trace is highly improbable. You'll definitely acquire some clues."

I smiled bitterly. "So what if everyone uses social media? Do you know how many missing people reports have turned into cold cases due to a lack of evidence? Do you know how they disappeared, or what happened after the disappearance? You have no idea, just like everyone else. Some people remain missing forever."

In the next few days, I wallowed in misery and helplessness. At the same time, news of Felicia's disappearance began spreading like wildfire throughout the school.

Benjamin, Liam, and Matthew did their best to take care of me and cheer me up. Although I laughed occasionally at their antics, depression was never far away. I didn't want to feel like that, but it was out of my control.

One day, I left my dorm to get some fruit. I saw a familiar face the second I walked out. It was Lina.

Ever since we argued at Pelagos Estates, I hadn't seen her. I had no intention of giving her the time of day either. I wasn't expecting her to show up. Who knew whether she was here to see me or someone else?

I pretended not to have noticed her and headed toward the store. She followed me immediately.

"William."

As expected, she was here for me.

I sighed and said resignedly, "How are you still shameless enough to seek me out? Wasn't it enough to have framed me then?"
