Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 209

"New girlfriend?" Oliver asked, his face full of disbelief. "Dorian, what about Cherry? Didn't she just start dating you less than a month ago?"

Dorian sneered. "I dumped her! Don't bring up Cherry again. If my girlfriend hears you, she'll get jealous. You all hear me? Don't mention any of my exes in front of my girlfriend, or I'll tear your scalps off."

The group nodded in confusion and started muttering among themselves.

"Who's this new girlfriend? She must be amazing to have replaced Cherry."

"She's probably even more beautiful than Cherry. I liked Cherry. She really loved Dorian and was good to us. Plus, her family was rich. I thought Dorian and Cherry were headed toward marriage, but who knew they'd break up in less than a month?"

"Dorian seems really into this new girlfriend. She must either be a stunning beauty or a rich heiress. Otherwise, Dorian wouldn't be treating her so well."

I wasn't interested in their gossip about Dorian's exes and new flames. What bothered me was Crystal's piercing gaze.

I came here hoping to slip away quietly, but now I had become the center of attention. With the crowd blocking the door, I couldn't even leave.

Then, someone with a big mouth asked, "Hey Dorian, why isn't Maximus here today?"

Dorian smiled at the question. "He couldn't make it."

"Why? Wherever Dorian goes, Maximus is always there. They're inseparable. Isn't that a rule we all know?"

"Yeah, you two are so close," another person added.

Dorian grinned, then looked directly at Crystal. "Crystal, you should know the reason. Didn't you tell them?"

Crystal ignored him, still glaring at me.
