Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 91

Ryan was such a simp. So, he was probably just Lina's stepping stone. Forget getting the girl, he might not be able to get a single kiss. As a result, I couldn't help but look at Ryan with utmost pity.

But before I could say anything, Felicia approached us with a dress in her arms, asking bashfully, "William, this is the dress I picked out. What do you think?"

"Why don't you try it on?"

"Okay." Then, she trotted off to the dressing room with her dress in tow.

I tapped a finger against my chin as I admired her graceful figure. Why did I have a feeling Felicia was behaving oddly shy before me? Why was that?

Just as I turned my attention away from her, I unintentionally caught sight of the look in Ryan's eyes. I didn't expect him to be leering at Felicia.

What a creep! To think that he would stare at other women when Lina was still around.

Honestly, Lina would definitely thrash Felicia in the looks department. However, Felicia had a smoking body that Lina certainly didn't possess.

It didn't hurt that she exuded a certain radiance and elegance after getting a glow-up. Thus, she could easily eclipse Lina. It was no wonder that Ryan would become interested in her.

"Ryan!" Lina was quick to notice that Ryan's attention was elsewhere. She tugged his arm and whined, "William got her a pair of limited edition heels. What about you?"

Ryan snapped out of it and said dazedly, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Lina huffed in anger and retorted, "What are you getting me? Say, you're a scion, are you not? How could you lose to a penniless fraud like William?"

Ryan rushed to soothe her ruffled feathers and coaxed, "Of course, I won't. Lina, I'll definitely buy you whatever you want. It doesn't matter what William gets. I'll double his purchase!"

When Lina and I heard his grand proclamation, we blurted out in unison, " Seriously?"

Ryan nodded triumphantly. "Please, it's just some shoes and clothes. How could I take you out on a shopping spree if I can't even do that much?"

Even I couldn't help but say, "You're beautiful."

Felicia flushed crimson as she pushed my arm gently. "Oh, stop. You're making me feel so embarrassed."

Lina's voice pierced through our little bubble as she hollered by the counter, "Ryan, pay the bill. The total's 3,800 dollars!"

"What did you just say?" Ryan nearly spat out the tea he was drinking. His eyes bulged in their sockets as his brain tried to compute the numbers he was just given.

"I said, it costs 3,800 dollars. Hurry up and pay the bill. Don't you tell me that you can't pay this much! Back when William and I were dating, he would spend at least five to six grand whenever we went out on a date."

Ryan immediately turned to glare at me before insisting vehemently, "How could he compare to someone like me? He's a complete loser! Who knows where he loaned all that money from?

"My wealth is my own! So, to compare me with him is an utter insult to my good name."
