Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 336

I smiled. "Don't call me Mr. White. Call me William in the future."

"How could I do that?"

"Why not? I came to Welsington for college to keep my identity a secret and make some friends who weren't here to score a share of my power. If I cared about how people addressed me, I wouldn't be here."

Lynn was surprised. She said, "That explains it. You're really flying under the radar. You didn't even have a car."

"I have a car. However, I couldn't be bothered to drive it. If I did, I would've needed to find a place to park as well as a mechanic to maintain it. It's too much trouble. As a student, it's easier to call a cab when I need it.

"Lynn, we've got to prioritize Riley now. Why don't you accompany her to the psychologist's for a checkup today?"

Lynn nodded solemnly and agreed, "Got it. Don't worry. I'll take her there in the afternoon."

She adored Riley. I wasn't afraid she would slack off.

However, she had gone through a lot herself and was probably exhausted. I thought for a moment before saying, "How about this? I'll give you a week off. During this period, unless something happens to the bar which requires your presence, you don't have to fret over this. Take a break and accompany Riley at home."

"Thank you, Mr. Whi—William."

I smiled and said, "You know I'm trying to keep things secret, so you mustn't leak my identity. In addition, I might visit your bar often. To prevent people from feeling suspicious, I'll take up a job as a part-timer. You get me?"

Lynn was intelligent. She nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry. I know what to do."

"Great. You should go home now. I need to make a trip to a friend's place."

Matthew noticed me and walked up to me, "Damn, William. What's going on? This wasn't your doing, was it?"

I smiled and said softly, "I lied to Damian and said that if he didn't apologize to Benjamin and Tiffany, I would continue sending people to beat him up. He was terrified and came over to apologize."

"Really?"

Matthew wasn't a complete idiot. I couldn't fool him so easily.

"Damian is the nephew of the leader of Dragonshade Society. He's seen many things, and occupies a powerful societal position. Would he be fooled by a few part-time actors?"

I coughed, but failed to find another reason. I could only say, "Perhaps he's a bit stupid!"
