Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 395

"Come on. Let's head back to the dorm," I suggested.

Matthew replied, "Yeah. You guys should go back and get changed. We'll have lunch together later before catching my cousin's performance."

I quickly asked, "Is Isabelle coming?"

"Of course not! She'd shred me to pieces!" Matthew stuck out his tongue playfully and dashed out of the classroom, eager to see his cousin.

I shook my head, exasperated. One look at him, and no one would believe he had a platonic relationship with his cousin.

Benjamin, Liam, and I reluctantly returned to our dorm. While we were going down the stairs, I spotted Charlotte.

Worried about Gabrielle, I stopped her and started walking alongside her. "How's Gabrielle? Did her family give her a hard time after I left?"

Charlotte sighed. "Of course they did. They scolded her so much that she ended up bawling her eyes out."

"What happened in the end? Did she give in?"

"No," Charlotte replied, shaking her head. "She's as stubborn as a mule and wouldn't budge. She's even refused to eat for the past two days since her family wouldn't stop forcing her."

Refused to eat?

Although I did encourage her to stand up to her family, I never expected her to resort to methods that would harm her own well-being. What a silly child.

If her family truly cared about her, they wouldn't be forcing her to marry such a horrible man. On the contrary, since her family saw her as nothing but a tool, starving herself would change nothing.

"Can she still use her phone? I'd like to give her a call."

Charlotte shook her head. "As if her parents would allow that. They confiscated her phone long ago."

I was dumbfounded. I couldn't understand how such families and parents still existed in this day and age.
