Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 59

When class ended that afternoon, we reached the classroom door to find that Lina was already waiting there.

A few concerned glances swept toward me at once. Felicia was so agitated that she sent me a message immediately.

"She's lying to you! Don't believe her!"

However, I still left with Lina, because I wanted to see how she would carry out her act. I hadn't expected her to take me straight to the Black Dragon.

I was amused. "Lina, why did you bring me here? Are you going to buy me lunch?"

Lina choked slightly. "Where would I get the money to treat you to a meal at a place like this? It's just that we had a misunderstanding here yesterday, didn't we? This restaurant put me on the blacklist, right? Go and tell them to take me off the blacklist."

"Me? I don't have that kind of authority."

"Don't you have a VIP card?" She was agitated, and her voice had become louder. She had forgotten to make herself sound sweet.

I found it funny, so I said impassively, "I've already given the VIP card back to the restaurant. It's probably been returned to its rightful owner already."

"What? You gave it back? Y-you were lucky enough to come across it! Why would you give it back?" She stamped her foot, looking anxious.

I shrugged. "I picked up something that belonged to someone else. Isn't returning it to its owner the normal thing to do? What belongs to someone else will always belong to someone else.

"No matter how poor we are, we can't covet other people's money. Don't you think that materialistic people are disgusting?"

Upon hearing this, Lina smiled awkwardly and remained silent. Then, she thought for a moment and pulled me toward another restaurant, which was only slightly less expensive than the Black Dragon.

"William, treat me to a meal. Didn't you get 500 thousand in prize money for your business? You haven't treated me to a meal yet."
