Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 78

I couldn't help but doubt them. "Are you guys misunderstanding? Charlotte seems pretty willing to stay in the same room with Lucas."

"That's not true!" Isabelle frowned as she denied it.

"She's just putting up an act. If she truly liked Lucas, she wouldn't have rejected him so many times. This time, it just so happened that Lucas helped her out, and she just wanted to repay him by being with him."

Isabelle started tearing up as she spoke.

"This is also because of her dad. Her dad wanted her to keep this connection with Lucas. After all, not everyone can settle things with the Arnoult Group like he did. Charlotte listens to her dad, so she doesn't have a choice."

She was forced? I crossed my arms, filled with suspicion. If she really was forced, her acting was so convincing that I couldn't tell at all.

Matthew gave Isabelle a pat on the shoulder. "Forget it. Lucas's personality is not the best. He plays around with women, flaunts his money, and even has weird fetishes.

"But he has a strong background. He was even willing to risk offending the Arnoult Group for Charlotte. So, I don't think he'll treat Charlotte the way he treated other women."

"Wait…" I stopped Matthew, feeling shocked. "What do you mean, 'the way he treated other women'?"

Matthew replied, "You didn't know? I heard that two women slept with Lucas and ended up in the hospital for three months, receiving 50 thousand dollars as compensation!"

What the heck? That was all so messed up. If that was true, then Charlotte was in serious danger. Lucas wasn't even the one who helped Charlotte solve her problems. Yet, he was lying to her about it.

From what he had done, his feelings for Charlotte don't seem genuine at all. That means there was a chance he would treat her the same way he treated those other women.

What should I do? Should I help her?
