Riches in Disguise

Chapter 70

If I mentioned that I went to buy a villa, I would definitely be the laughingstock. I could only come up with a simple lie and said, "I just went out for a stroll to clear my head."

"Why didn't you invite us?" Benjamin asked.

Matthew suddenly chimed in. "Let's talk about Charlotte instead."

I was taken aback. Why discuss her?

"William, you probably don't know this, but Charlotte is a volunteer at our school. She goes to nursing homes and orphanages to help out every month."

I really didn't know that. However, given the way Charlotte and her friends acted, I figured they were just doing it for a good reputation. I couldn't believe she would do it purely out of kindness.

Liam added, "Charlotte's actually really nice. When we first started college and had military training, she even served me mushroom soup."

I wondered if that was really something worth mentioning.

While I was mentally criticizing Charlotte, Isabelle said, "She's just been led astray by Lina. She was pretty nice at the beginning of the semester. William, don't blame us for treating you badly. It's just that your reputation among the girls isn't great. We don't treat others like that."
