Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 339

I turned to Charlotte and waited for her to speak. She blushed before saying anything.

Charlotte coughed and said, "William, I thought about everything that happened after we met. I realized that not only have you never offended me, you've always been helping me. Yet, I've never thanked you for this before. I wanted to thank you."

"Oh."

She hadn't expected my reaction to be so cool. After a pause, she said, "Apart from thanking you, I would also like to ask you who you really are. Everyone at school says that your parents sell fruits for a living and don't have much money. Yet, it doesn't seem right to me."

I laughed and shot back, "Then who do you think I seem like?"

Charlotte tested the waters. "I think you seem like a rich kid."

"Hey, you've seen through me! Looks like all my hiding was for naught!"

I leaned back in my chair and chuckled.

Charlotte asked, "Hide? You are…"

"You're right. My family is loaded. If not, how would I be decked out in luxury items? Look at my shirt and my pants. They're all branded goods. My shoes are also limited edition ones. Aren't they amazing?"

When I didn't want to admit it, the more I tried to deny it, the more suspicion it would ignite. On the other hand, if I owned up to it while leaving a few plot holes, she would disprove her own theory.

I was taking an alternative route.

Upon hearing my words, she frowned, seemingly holding branded items in disdain.

I'd heard their conversation prior to this and said hurriedly, "Of course. I sent him! I was too careless and left the bracelet with him. You guys found me out! You don't have to be too grateful. Just treat me to a few meals here and there while introducing pretty girls to me."

They were silent. Perhaps my loser behavior had turned them off.

As I coughed and sipped at my tea while planning my next move to put them off my tail, I heard the manager say, "William? Which one is William? Ms. Blanc asked you to help out today. Although you're only a part-time worker, you can't be too lazy. We won't pay you!"

"Alright, coming!"

He was my savior.

I said to Isabelle and Charlotte, "I'll check the balances for the bar. Do go on with your meal. My apologies."
