Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 23

I quickly hugged Jane back tightly. "That's nonsense. You won't die. Even if you don't trust the doctors, don't you trust me?

"I'm saying that you will not die, so that actually means that you will not die!"

Jane held onto me and continued sobbing until she fell asleep from being worn out. Then, I lowered her gently onto the bed.

I sighed. She was going through too much suffering.

Once she underwent surgery successfully, I would make her my godsister and have her move into my place to enjoy life as a rich lady.

With a heavy heart, I returned to the dorm. Though, I couldn't get the image of Jane's sobbing face out of my mind.

I could hear some whispering sounds coming from beside me. Right as I lifted my head, I spotted Matthew, Liam, and Benjamin huddling together and whispering to one another.

"What are you three talking about?"

After being gaslit by Zack and Louis for a long period, for a split second, I was even suspecting them of talking behind my back.

Matthew gestured to me to go over. In a soft voice, he shared, "We're talking about Charlotte."

I wasn't too interested in that, but I asked casually, "What's up with her?"

In a mysterious tone, Matthew asked, "Do you remember that she splashed a drink on a wealthy man's face last night?"

I nodded. "I remember."

Truth be told, I did admire her at the time. At the very least, she wasn't like most women who didn't know what to do the moment they met a man with a Rolex watch.

Matthew said, "That man isn't an average Joe. He's a scion of Arnoult Group!"

Benjamin and Liam gasped. "I really didn't expect that a scion like him would come to a bar near our campus. Shouldn't he be going to one of those classier bars?"

Matthew remarked smugly, "Of course you people wouldn't know that. No doubt he came here to pick up college women. It's only at small bars like this that he would have a chance to pick up virgins."

"Hold on," I chimed in and directed the conversation back to its main point.
