Riches in Disguise

Chapter 22

The woman with straight bangs had a sly smirk on her face as she turned the camera toward us and snapped a photo.

She didn't even disable her camera flash.

Benjamin's and Liam's faces flushed red after being mocked and photographed out of the blue. They lowered their heads and wished that they could hide their faces in their shirts, as if they were children who had done something wrong.

I really couldn't bear to continue watching. I walked right before that woman and commanded, "Delete the photo."

"What's wrong?" She furrowed her brows and glared at me. "I didn't take any photos of you. Can you just get your head out of the clouds?"

I leaned in toward her and threatened, "Are you deleting it, or no?"

Seeing as I was genuinely mad, Matthew shot to his feet to mediate the situation. "Alright, William, that's enough. Don't get so worked up.

"We're all friends here. Be nice. Isabelle, say a word or two to persuade Lainey."

Reluctantly, Isabelle said to Lainey, "Lainey, just delete the photo. There's no need to fight with people like them."

Lainey let out a grunt. Then, she unlocked her phone and deleted that photo.

Seeing as I had returned to my seat, she remarked, "Ugly people are troublesome indeed."
