Riches in Disguise

Chapter 27

Matthew was waiting for me at the entrance to the hotel. The moment he saw me, he threw his arms around my neck.

"Let me tell you what a coincidence it was! Right after you left, Charlotte's issue was settled. I heard that the scion of Arnoult Group apologized in person. He even compensated her a large sum of money. Charlotte is over the moon."

Then, he even leaned into my ear and whispered, "According to Isabelle, Charlotte's father had been pressuring Charlotte to go to that man since last night. It was fortunate that she didn't go."

Deep down, I knew it wasn't a coincidence.

The issue got resolved after I left because I was the one who resolved it!

But, whatever.

I didn't help Charlotte out so that I could receive her gratitude and have her repay me. It was all good as long as she was fine.

After entering the private room, I noticed two empty seats next to each other. So, I went over and sat down.

A few women were sitting at the table. The moment they saw that I had sat down, they started showing an attitude again.

Lainey was the first to snigger. "What's this jinx doing here? How shameless."

Immediately, Matthew urged, "Save it, will you? Charlotte was the one who invited him."
