Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 75

Matthew and Isabelle booked a cab beforehand. I sat in the front seat while the others were paired up in the back. Matthew was next to Isabelle, while Lucas was beside Charlotte.

I felt so left out. I couldn't help but curse Matthew in my head.

Suddenly, Charlotte said happily, "That felt so satisfying! Lucas, thank you for standing up for me. I'm grateful for you."

She leaned against Lucas lovingly, which made me question if what Matthew had told me earlier was true.

It didn't seem like she didn't like Lucas. There was no way she would be this affectionate if she didn't like him. Either she lied to the others in the dorm, or she was just good at acting.

Lucas said cheerfully, "That was nothing. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell them you're my girlfriend. I can guarantee that nobody will dare lay a hand on you."

Pfft. What a show-off. I rolled my eyes and opened the window for some air. I couldn't be bothered to listen to him brag.

Charlotte replied, "That's why it's important to be cautious when dating. If I ever end up like Lina, dating a guy who only acts rich, it would be so embarrassing!"

What? Why drag me into the conversation? I acted like I didn't hear anything.

Isabelle seemed scared I would get angry, so she quickly stepped in to ease the tension. "You can't entirely blame William for what happened between him and Lina. She cheated on him!"

Charlotte sided with Lina and said, "Her cheating on him and him lying are two different things! If he didn't lie, she wouldn't have cheated on him!"

No wonder Charlotte and Lina were friends. They were so suited for each other.

Matthew coughed awkwardly. "How about we talk about something else? Have you guys heard that Ed Sheeran is going to have a concert here? Do you want to go?"

Finally, the topic changed, but I still couldn't be bothered to join the conversation, so I just looked out the window.
