Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 25

Charlotte jumped to her feet suddenly. She grabbed a doll from the tabletop and hurled it at me.

Instinctively, I caught the doll. In a helpless voice, I asked, "What did I do to you this time?"

"What did you do? If it weren't for you, would I have left like that last night? If it weren't for you, would I have been in a bad mood, or have splashed that drink on him? All of this is because of you!"

After saying that, Charlotte buried her face on the table and wailed.

In that instant, all the women in the dorm room shot fierce glares at me.

I felt extremely helpless. This ended up being my fault?

Besides, if we wanted to pursue the real culprit, that would be Lina, not me.

However, as I was about to voice out, I noticed that Lina was also among the group of women. But, she looked a little haggard. It seemed like she wasn't doing that well mentally.

So, I chose to keep quiet.

Matthew stepped in front of me and tried to mediate the situation. He sighed. "There's no use saying all these now. We should all just think of ways to help Charlotte out."

Liam mustered up his courage and suggested, "If nothing works, just call the cops."

Nonetheless, many people rolled their eyes at him right after he said that. "Just shut up if you don't know what you're talking about. Would we be sitting around here, feeling troubled, if we could have called the cops?"

"What use is there when it was gang members who trashed the hotel? They will be the ones who will get arrested while Arnoult Group will just bite back with an even greater vengeance!"

Liam lowered his head immediately, looking dejected.

Isabelle prompted, "Look, let's snap out of it. There's no use spacing out. We should see if there's anyone we know who can help with connecting us with anyone."

"That's right, that's right! I'll take a look at my call records. Look through yours too, Lina. Aren't you acquainted with quite a number of people from wealthy families?"

Lina furrowed her brows slightly. "I do know a few, but Arnoult Group is too influential in Welsington City. No one dares to get on their bad side. But, let me try."

Soon enough, everyone started making calls of their own.

"Hello? Mr. Wright, do you know anyone in Arnoult Group? A friend of mine got on the bad side of one of their scions, so I was thinking of asking you for help.

"Ah, you can't help? Alright, that's okay. Bye for now, then."

"May, you know Mr. Barber, don't you? Could you call him to see if he knows the boss of Arnoult Group? Oh, you and him have broken up? It's alright, then."
