Riches in Disguise

Chapter 29

"Charlotte, you're going too far!"

Upon hearing that, Benjamin got to his feet immediately.

Liam followed suit. "No worries, Will. We'll leave with you."

Ever since entering university, this was the first time having someone standing up for me. I was really touched.

However, I was aware that Benjamin and Liam surely wished to stay back for that meal. The spread on the table was scrumptious indeed, and they might not even get to eat something like this at least once a year.

Thus, I went up to them and sat them back down on their seats. "Sit down, both of you. It's no big deal. I happen to be done eating, so I'll just go out for a walk. Just stay and eat, both of you."

As I said that, I walked right to the door.

Charlotte's voice then came from behind me. "William, why are you leaving? You can just sit on the couch and eat.

"There are so many dishes here, so you can just take whatever you want and eat over there. Why are you sulking?"

"I know, right? He should be thankful that he could even be here. Why is he showing an attitude?"

"People are finally taking some notice of him. Shouldn't he at least put on an act?"

I continued walking and left the private room.
