Riches in Disguise

Tifanny called me sweetly, her words dripping with charm.

I patted her head. "Just focus on studying when you get back. Your father's illness requires money, so you can call Benjamin for help. Don't tell him about the fight at school. He'll worry. Just tell him you're doing well, that you're popular at school, and life is going fine."

She nodded obediently. "Don't worry, William. I know what I can and can't say. As for my father's illness, this money will be enough for his medication. I believe he'll recover soon!"

Amy added, "Exactly. Your father's illness isn't that serious. It's just been delayed because we couldn't afford the medicine, but now we no longer have to worry."

Yvonne looked at me eagerly. "William, can we come back next time and visit you again?"

I smiled. "Of course you can."

They were all Tiffany's friends, and as long as I treated them well, they would take care of Tiffany after they returned. I had also heard that Amy's father was the village head, so with her looking out for Tiffany, no one would dare bully the latter.

When Tiffany arrived, she only had a worn backpack. But on her way back, she was carrying many things-bags, packages, and others.

Amy and Yvonne also returned with many goods. They were smiling widely, clearly very satisfied with their trip to Welsington City.

I called a private car, initially thinking it would be enough, but due to the excessive luggage, I had to ask Liam and Matthew to take some of the bags and grab

another car.

As I sat in the car, I couldn't help but ask, "What did you all buy? Why is there so much stuff?"

When I finished my sentence, they all started shouting simultaneously.

"I bought some clothes!"

"I bought a comforter. Ours at home are made of cotton and are too heavy. This one's light and soft. It's really comfortable!"

"I bought many snacks. There was a sale at the supermarket, and it's so expensive back home!"

"I bought some hair ties since we don't have such pretty ones at home. also bought a doll. It cost over a hundred, but I've always dreamed of having such a beautiful dot!"

...

I couldn't help but laugh. Most of the things they bought were typical items for young women. They weren't anything expensive. But these@mall items kept them smiling, happy, and content until the end of the year. That was enough.

When the car finally stopped, I realized that Benjamin had bought not just train tickets but metro tickets.

I was speechless.

Flying might be too much for him, but how about a high-speed train? I figured that it would work as well.

However, the tickets had already been bought, and I couldn't have them refunded. So, I just made a mental note that I would handle the ticket purchase myself next time.

Tiffany and the others were about to carry their large bags onto the train,

but I stopped them. I told them "You

don'Oneed to take all this back with

youre

I'll send it to you."

Tiffany immediately shook her head. "No, no. It's too heavy and too big. I checked,

and sending it back would cost over a hundred in shipping fees."

"Who said that? I've got discount vouchers. I can send it for just ten dollars."

"Really?" She looked at me skeptically.noveldrama

The price I quoted was too low. But I stiffened my resolve and turned to Matthew. "Of course it's true. Matt, isn't that right?"
