Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 139

I took a deep breath and said, "Lina, calm down and listen to me. I'm out of money now!"

Lina, who had been agitated this whole time, froze when she heard what I said. Her demeanor changed completely, and she stared at me with wide eyes.

"What do you mean?"

I scoffed inwardly. As I thought, she was just after money.

"I said I'm out of money. I lied last time, but this time, it's true. You already know about the money I donated and the amount I spent on Felicia's clothes.

"I've also been spending a bit on food and dates with her, so I'm running dry. I only have about 8,000 bucks left. If you want to borrow money, I can only spare you 2,000 dollars."

She stared at me, dumbfounded. The affectionate and pitiful mask she wore earlier has been replaced by shock and disbelief.

"You've spent all the money?"

I nodded. "All of it."

Lina stood there, speechless. A moment later, her eyes lit up again. "Hang on, didn't you also win a Rolex yesterday? That watch could fetch quite a hefty amount."

She said, "Sell it to help me out for now. We can buy it back later, okay?"

I silently sneered. First my money, now even my watch? I had underestimated how greedy she truly was. Since I wasn't wearing the watch, I flat-out lied, "I gave it to my dad. It's not with me anymore."

Lina looked utterly stupefied. "W-What? William, are you an idiot?" she shrieked, dropping the act. She had rarely cursed in all the years I've known her, so she was clearly losing her composure.
