Riches in Disguise

Chapter 28

Charlotte paused in surprise. "Dad, did you say that it was the president of the Business Association who helped out?"

"Yeah. According to him, someone reached out to him for help, but he's unwilling to share who that person was. Lottie, could it be one of your pursuers?"

When I heard the word "pursuer", I almost spit my escargot out.

What a joke. I would never pursue Charlotte.

"It was Lucas Bennett!" Isabelle shouted out of the blue. She had a confident look on her face.

"It must have been Lucas. Charlotte, have you forgotten that Lucas was the last person you contacted? He must've been the one who lent a hand."

I put the escargot down immediately and glared at Isabelle.

I was speechless. Was she dumb?

If it were Lucas who helped out, wouldn't he have contacted Charlotte to claim credit?

To my surprise, Charlotte also had a look of sudden realization on her face after she put her cell phone down. "You're right. It must have been Lucas. It can't possibly be anyone else other than him."
