Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 208

Crystal suddenly lost her composure. She shoved Oliver aside and stormed over to me. Without a word, she cupped my face and kissed me.

I was utterly stunned.

At first, I thought she was just putting on a show, but her lips actually pressed against mine. She wasn't just touching them. Instead, she was kissing me deeply.

I widened my eyes, completely at a loss for what to do.

If I pushed her away, I guessed I would embarrass her in front of everyone and turn her into the laughingstock of the trust fund kids.

If I didn't push her away, it would solidify the idea that we were a couple. Felicia might never forgive me if that happened. She had just lost her mother, and I couldn't allow her to feel hurt or betrayed by me.

The thought gave me the resolve I needed. Without hesitation, I pushed Crystal away and took several steps back.

"Crystal, calm down!" I said firmly. "I never agreed to be your boyfriend. If you keep pulling stunts like this, I won't hold back!"

As I noticed the faint scent of lipstick lingering on my lips, I quickly wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, hoping to remove any trace of it.

The room fell deathly silent. Everyone stared at me in astonishment.

"Did he… did he actually reject Crystal's kiss?" someone finally said.

"He said he never agreed to be her boyfriend. Does that mean Crystal is chasing him?"

"Is this guy insane? What nonsense is he spewing?"

"This is ridiculous! I can't take it. Crystal kissed him, and he had the nerve to act all high and mighty. Can I punch him?"

"Did he actually reject a kiss from the most beautiful girl in the room? I swear, this world is messed up!"

Oliver raised his finger and pointed at me. "You little brat! How dare you reject Crystal, and even push her away? You're done for! I'm telling Maximus!"
