Riches in Disguise

Chapter 136

Lina stammered, "I-I'm sorry! I had no idea that Ryan was behind it. It's just that you were acting so suspiciously."

She explained, "You became so generous so suddenly, even though you were never that well off. So, how could I not suspect you?"

I sighed. "Lina, it's one thing for others to suspect me, but don't you find what you're saying ridiculous? When was I ever stingy with you back when we were dating? Didn't I buy everything you asked for?"

"I just didn't flaunt my wealth by taking you out on flashy drives in a sports car like Ryan did. Isn't that right?"

Lina paused. Her eyes widened as she thought back to our time together.

Back then, I treated her like a queen, always buying everything she showed interest in. However, I preferred laying low. So, I would choose cozy, down-to- earth places whenever we went on dates.

I never expected her to hate those places, nor did I ever realize how much she enjoyed showing off.

For her, receiving a necklace that cost over 30 thousand dollars was meaningless if no one knew. Instead, she'd rather flaunt a three-thousand-dollar gift if it meant that everyone could marvel at it.
