Riches in Disguise

Chapter 110

I glanced at them and asked, "Why do you guys believe in me so much? Even Felicia doesn't trust me."

Liam chuckled. "It's just a feeling. What kind of friends would we be if we didn't have at least this much trust in each other? Besides, if you were the kind of guy who would stoop to stealing, you wouldn't have treated us so well all this time, right, Matthew?"

Matthew frowned as he drank some water. "Of course, I believe you're not the one who did it. But Will, where did you get the money to donate? You donated 70 thousand dollars, yet you're still living in a dump like this."

I knew I owed them an explanation. It didn't feel right to let their trust in me go unanswered. However, I couldn't bring myself to admit I was a trust fund kid. I had lied to them from the beginning, and if I told them the truth now, it would make their trust in me seem ridiculous.
