Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 257

Adam glanced at the car and said, "That's one of our older models. When it was released, it was priced at over three million. With depreciation, it's worth around 2.6 million now."

"Okay. Have the insurance company come to handle the claim," I instructed.

I turned to Aidan and added, "I'll cover the full cost. Are there any other issues?"

Aidan's face twisted in disgust like he had just tasted something vile. Although I had crashed into his car, there was nothing he could do about my generous compensation offer.

The people around us remained silent. No one was willing to speak up for him. Even the Morgan family watched coldly. Celia cast fiery glances at me, completely ignoring Aidan.

What could Aidan do?

He could only grind his teeth in frustration and suppress his hatred, unable to do anything but silently resent me.

This was what it felt like to be the one oppressed, to call for help and get no response, only to be forced to accept their fate. Now, they were experiencing that same bitter taste.

It was payback.

I had always understood this feeling of class oppression, so I never liked showing off because there were always people more powerful than me.

Encouraging that kind of arrogance would only lead to being bullied by those who were stronger.

I would rather live in equality.

Lexie cleared her throat before saying, "Crystal, I think that we've admired the car enough. Why don't you take Mr. White over there to sit and have some tea and snacks? From now on, we're family. As for the car, should we park it in the lot for now?"

Crystal immediately looked at me, waiting for my response.

I knew that the Morgan family wanted to win me over, and though I wasn't fond of their approach, I was willing to tolerate it for her sake.
