Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 204

They followed the direction of my hand, then burst into laughter.

"You're too much!" Crystal laughed loudly. "Those two villas you just pointed to? One is the cheapest in the entire Pelagos Estates, and the other is the most expensive."

"Of course, I know that," I replied.

"You knew? Hahaha!"

Crystal's friend laughed so hard she almost doubled over. The exaggerated look on her face made me want to slap her.

"You knew, yet you still said that? Haha! I've never seen anyone buy a villa like this—one the cheapest, and the other the most expensive. Who buys villas like that? You can't even lie properly. You're just insane! Hahaha!"

"Damn you!" I cursed inwardly, feeling my patience snap.

I couldn't take it anymore. If I kept talking to these two idiots, I would lose my temper. So, I quickly turned and walked away.

"Hey, William!"

Crystal called after me and grabbed my hand. "Don't be mad. She's just blunt, so don't take it to heart. Lily, stop laughing! There's nothing funny about it."

Lily tried to stifle her laughter, but her gaze at me was still full of mockery. "Crystal, you're being way too generous. Who wouldn't laugh at that?"

"Well, you can just hold it in!" Crystal snapped, still holding onto my arm.

"Now you're defending him. I really don't get it. Just because he helped you get rid of Maximus doesn't mean you need to throw yourself at him. That's a bit much!"

Crystal frowned and said, "I like him not just because he's brave, but also because of how he handled Maximus' attitude. I thought he was really manly. Even if he pretends to be rich and rents a car to look important, it doesn't change the fact that I respect him."

I had thought Crystal liked and trusted me, but it turned out she just saw me as a vain, boastful guy. She even assumed the Koenigsegg was rented.
