Riches in Disguise

Chapter 121

I couldn't imagine how the Whites would torture Frankie if he gauged my eye out.

As I'd expected, his eyes widened at the mention of the White family of Gothville. He asked, "You're part of the White family?"

I answered honestly, "I'm a third-generation member of the family, as well as its heir."

Frankie was floored. He repeated incredulously, "Heir?" Then, he burst out into laughter.

"Kid, if you'd said you were a distantly relative of the Whites, I would have believed you. Do you think I'm dumb enough to believe that you could possibly be the heir to the White family? Why would the White heir come to Welsington and have dinner at such a run-down place? You must be kidding me!"

Elaine leaned over curiously. "Mr. Russo, are the Whites a powerful family?"

Frankie scoffed and said, "Let's put it this way. If he really turns out to be the heir to the White family, our lives are ruined for good."

"They must be very powerful!" Elaine's eyes widened in surprise.

However, she soon broke into giggles."William, oh William. Even if you were making stuff up, you should have stuck with something more realistic. If you were going to say that you're the heir to the White family, you might as well just claim to be next in line to the royal throne!
