Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 349

I never really liked the Porsche. I had bought it to help Crystal preserve her reputation and get back at Joshua. Once the purpose was more or less served, the car lost value to me.

Giving it to her directly felt a bit too much.

After all, I didn't have such a deep relationship with her, so I left it at her place for now. As for the damage, the repair cost was only a few hundred thousand, and the dealership would cover it, so I didn't need to worry.

She looked at me, speechless for a long time.

Then I suddenly realized that she probably liked me from the start, and now, with everything I had done for her, I might have made things worse. She might fall even harder for me.

"Crystal, I—"

"Shh."

Just as I was about to speak, she raised her hand to cover my mouth, offering a sad smile.

"I know what you're going to say. Actually, I figured it out during the family gathering that day. You're not the loser I thought you were. In fact, your background might even be more impressive than mine.

"You never liked me in the first place. You probably look down on me even more with your background. So, I've stopped dreaming about being your girlfriend."

I wondered what led her to say that. That wasn't why I didn't like her. Her background had nothing to do with it.

Crystal lowered her head, looking dejected. "I came here today to tell you that I'll do whatever it takes to fix your car, and I won't bother you anymore. But you've been so good to me, William. I don't want to leave you. If you don't mind, can we still be friends?"
