Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 156

Felicia glanced at the clothes in Lina's arms and frowned. She remarked, "A few days ago, you were showing off in front of us, forcing Ryan to buy you all those clothes. It's only fair that he's asking you for money now."

She had a point.

A few days ago, Ryan did splurge in my mother's shop, buying many clothes.

In the end, he only asked Lina for 90 thousand dollars. That was actually pretty lenient. If it had been someone like Joshua, he wouldn't have stopped until she was drained dry.

"You little tramp! What's wrong with me making Ryan spend money on me? That just proves my charm and ability! What's the matter? Jealous? Hah! Someone like you—a plain, ugly person—can only ever dream of landing someone like William, a fake rich man and a real loser. You've got no right to talk back to me!"

"You..." Felicia's face turned red with anger. She wanted to retort but struggled to find the words.

I stepped in front of her, shielding her, and said coldly to Lina, "If you've got something to say, direct it at me. Don't pick on Felicia."

Then, I turned to the store manager and assistant. "She's just a troublemaker. Why are you all being so lenient? Call security and have her removed!"

If Lina had come here that day with a sincere attitude, humbly asking for help, I might have stepped in to negotiate a discount for her return or even help her get the 90 thousand she needed.

But with her current behavior? Forget it. Helping her would make me a fool.

The store assistant hadn't been too harsh on Lina because she had recently spent a significant amount of money and was listed as a VIP. They feared that she might be someone influential or from a wealthy family.

But now that I had spoken up, they felt reassured. If anything happened, I would take responsibility.
