Riches in Disguise

Seeing that I was unmoved even after she mentioned her family background, Crystal finally started to get a little anxious. She followed me all the way to the entrance of Starhill Group.noveldrama

When she saw the company's name, her face was filled with surprise. "Your girlfriend works for an entertainment company?

"Could she be some D-list celebrity? I didn't expect your taste to be this tacky, liking that kind of woman."

I shot her a cold glare as a warning. "Watch your mouth. If you insult my girlfriend in front of me again, I won't hold back."

She froze for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing. I was growing more convinced that something was seriously wrong with her. I had already insulted her multiple times, but she acted like it was no big deal. Her thick-skinned, shameless attitude was truly astonishing!

"Do you realize that the more you show how much you love your girlfriend, the more determined I am to win you over?"

I sighed lightly. "Plenty of men on the street love their girlfriends or wives. Can't you bother someone else?"

"Nope! I'm just not interested in them!" She crossed her arms, looking smug.

"There may be many men out there who seem devoted to their girlfriends or wives, but not everyone can resist my charm.

"Do you know how many of those so-called loyal guys would come running to me like obedient dogs with just a crook of my finger?"

Maybe she was right. But it was not all of them. I believed there were still men who could resist her temptations.

Nowadays, just as some women were becoming more materialistic, there were plenty of men chasing after rich women, too. I knew several guys who compromised their feelings and values to secure a wealthy partner or advance their family's future. It wasn't anything new.

If I were actually poor, I couldn't even say for sure whether I would resist temptation. However, at least for now, I didn't care for her money or like her arrogant attitude.

After waiting a while with Felicia still unseen, checked my watch. She should have finished her training by now. Feeling puzzled, I pulled out my I phone and gave her a call. "Felicia, are you still in training?"

"William, sorry! Amelia took us to a neighboring city for dance practice. She said that we'll be doing intensive training for a week, so I won't be back until then."

"A week?"

Intensive training that required going to another city? Feeling worried, I asked for the location and had someone check it out. I finally felt relieved after confirming it was a legitimate dance training program.

"Alright. Focus on your training. I'll arrange for someone to pack and send over your things."

"It's fine! They have everything I need here."

"It's still more convenient to have extra clothes and essentials."

Most importantly, dance training was exhausting. I didn't want her to lose weight. I

had to make sure to send over some good food, too.

With her mother gone and her father back in their hometown, no one was around to take good care of her. I had promised her mother that I would treat her well and look after

her, so I couldn't let her suffer even a little.

After making all the necessary arrangements, I ended the call, feeling somewhat disappointed.

།

Before her mother's accident, I had

been preparing to take the final step with Felicia and had even started making plans. But after everything got delayed, I had hoped to finish those plans over the next few days.

Now, it seemed that it would have to wait. When would I finally get to take that last

step?

As I was lost in thought, a large face suddenly appeared before me, startling me. I instinctively took a step back and frowned at Crystal. "Are you crazy?"
