Riches in Disguise

Chapter 160

Zack and Veronica suddenly started being nice to me because they thought I was from a wealthy family. So, their habit of kissing up to the wealthy while looking down on others hadn't changed.

I shrugged. "That one million? Most of it is gone. I've got about three or four thousand left."

Veronica's eyes widened. "Oh my goodness! You won over a million dollars and only have three or four thousand left? You really know how to burn through money!"

Louis sneered. "What do you expect? Someone like him has probably never seen that much money in his life. Of course, he would blow it all, pretending to be rich. It's just the kind of life he's destined to live-always mediocre!"

"Exactly! Honey, if you had that million, you would invest it in a business. In a few months, you would have doubled it. Give it a year or two, and you would be a millionaire! Giving it to him is such a waste."

I couldn't help but chuckle at their confidence. Who gave them the delusion that starting a business guaranteed success?

If it were that easy, someone else would have already done it. They were living in a fantasy.

As they kept taking jabs at me, I didn't bother responding, but Felicia couldn't stand it any longer. She stepped in to defend me. "Have you said enough? It's William's money. He can spend it however he wants. Who are you to lecture him? Mind your own business! Come on, William. Let's go."

"Wow!"

Seeing Felicia stand up for me clearly irritated them.

Zack had always looked at her with a mix of admiration and desire. They couldn't take it lightly because their "damsel" defended me and even scolded them for my
