Riches in Disguise

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

For our 100th-day anniversary, I rented out Skyway Garden and decorated it for the occasion.

But then I saw Linda and Joshua standing by the garden and taking pictures right in front of my eyes.

"Who's the rich man behind this? Renting out the whole garden, it is ridiculous how extravagant this is!" Lina said to Joshua.

When I heard Lina say that, I could only give a bitter smile. Not wanting to give up the last bit of hope, I called her.

Lina looked at her phone and immediately hung it up. Then, she turned to Joshua with a playful grin and said, "It's William."

Joshua smirked. "Aren't you afraid that William will get suspicious if you keep ignoring his calls?"

"He's a fool," Lina replied confidently.

She added, "Last time, I ditched William halfway through our date to meet up with you. I told him some excuse about suddenly getting my period, and he believed it. He even went and bought me some warm milk."

Joshua looked pleased. "So, does that mean I'm more important than William in your eyes?"

Lina looked shy after he said that. "Of course. I'm so over William. He's just the son of a fruit vendor, but he always tries to act like some rich kid around me. Not like you. You're rich and humble."

I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. So, that was it. Lina despised me for my background!

What Lina didn't realize was that it was all a misunderstanding from Joshua.

During one of my phone calls with my dad, Joshua had overheard him saying, "The fruit stand seems to be doing well lately. I've transferred you five hundred dollars for pocket money."

From that, Joshua jumped to conclusions, thinking I was the son of a fruit vendor. He then spread the rumor around.

In truth, my dad was one of the top fruit tycoons in the country. He owns 18 domestic bases, and the business stretches around the world.

...

I stumbled back to the dorm and felt utterly lost.

On the day of our 100th-day anniversary, I witnessed Lina's betrayal in my own eyes. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that something this ridiculous could ever happen to me.
