Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 371

Gabrielle slowly shook her head. She said, "If two people truly love each other, does it really matter what their families do? What's there to criticize?"

I really clicked with her. Her values and thoughts were exactly like mine. So what if I let Lina misunderstand my identity when I was with her back then? Why should things like status or wealth matter to the point that people insult me for them? Why should I let her cheat on me because of that?

They were just prejudiced, loving the rich and looking down on the poor. To boost their image, they were desperately trying to shift the blame for their infidelity onto me.

In the past, Charlotte would never have admitted to such things. But now, she was quiet.

After hearing what Gabrielle and I said, she hesitated, unsure what to say next.

"What's the point of bringing up the past? William, what do you plan to do now? Even if you pretend to be Gabrielle's boyfriend, it won't matter. The Singleton family is already pressuring her. Mr. Singleton won't marry anyone but her. It doesn't matter what you say!

"Her family won't back down unless you can come up with a bride price that exceeds Mr. Singleton's."

I snorted. "You know I'm pretending to be rich. How could I come up with a bride price?"

Gabrielle hurriedly said, "Charlotte, stop talking nonsense. How could I have William pay a bride price? I'll figure this out myself. Let's serve the tea and get through these next few days."

We had been in the kitchen for quite a while, and it was about time we went back out, or the people in the living room might get suspicious. So we quickly brewed some tea and brought it out.

The conversation had grown even livelier when we stepped into the living room.

"The Singleton family has done really well these past few years! Their newly listed company's stock has been rising steadily. They only have two sons. While the eldest is impressive, the family won't neglect the younger one. Whoever marries the younger heir is bound to inherit a large fortune."
