Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 90

"William, even if I did do something to hurt you, we were once the closest people who held and kissed one another. How could you pick on me with another woman? I would be hurt if you do this."

She stepped closer to me, her eyes as innocent as a fawn's. She then gently grasped the hem of my shirt.

"Could you give me the blue dress? I promise I'll treat you better in the future. Don't be fooled by how submissive Felicia acts around you. The moment a rich man pursues her, she'll immediately turn her back on you."

I laughed. Was she not just talking about herself? I wondered how many times she had deceived me before with that pretentious act of hers.

It was too bad that I had already built up a tolerance for her act. As such, I felt nothing as I remained as calm as still water.

I grabbed her hand, and as a smile of joy appeared on her face, I abruptly flung it off and disdainfully flicked away the wrinkles she had created on my shirt.

"Lina, are you mistaken? Felicia isn't just any other woman—she's my friend. And it's not that she is submissive toward me. I'm the one pursuing her, understand?"

"What? You're pursuing her?" Lina was visibly shocked. She then slowly shook her head.

"Don't try to deceive me. Do you think I'm clueless? She's not your type at all. William, I know I've hurt you and that you resent me, but you can't just want some random woman, right?"

Felicia was indeed not my type, but it wasn't Lina's place to say that.

To keep Felicia from looking inferior in front of Lina, I deliberately said, "Felicia is prettier, kinder, and more considerate than you. Choosing her is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?"

The furious and embarrassed Lina began to yell, "I'm already throwing myself at you, but you're still choosing her over me? Are you blind?"

I let out a contemptuous chuckle. "If I liked you, then I really would be blind."
