Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 123

There was no way Frankie would fight back. He would only suffer an even worse fate. Unlike Elaine, Frankie was experienced. He must've picked up on my status and power. His ability to recognize power in the face of it would take him far.

"Let's go."

I left the man to finish up with them and left with my arm wrapped around Felicia.

A Rolls Royce was parked in front of the restaurant, and a dozen Bentleys filled with guards were parked behind.

A bodyguard was standing in front of the car. His stoic expression couldn't conceal his fierce glare.

All the bystanders had been cleared from the scene. I helped Felicia into the car and ordered the chauffeur, "To Imperia Manor."

"Yes, sir."

Felicia did not say a single word for the entire journey. She surveyed the car's interior before staring out of the window listlessly.

I was afraid that she'd been scared by Elaine, so I consoled her, "Don't worry. I won't do anything to Elaine. She offended the Crimson Tigers. There will be people going after her even without my interference."

Elaine wouldn't appear in Welsington ever again, let alone in school.

Felicia shook her head gently. After a while, she turned around and said, "I-I'm not worried about Elaine. I… just regret not trusting you earlier."

I froze. So this was what she had been worrying about in her trance just now.

I leaned back and sighed. "Yeah. Out of everyone, you should have been the last to doubt me. You have no idea how devastated I was last night."

"It wasn't on purpose. I'm sorry. I hadn't expected you to be so wealthy."

Her eyes were trained on the ground, looking utterly despondent.
