Riches in Disguise

Chapter 168

Even though their behavior was a bit embarrassing, I couldn't stand the attitude of the waiters looking down on the customers. I turned to Clem and said, "You can leave now. We don't need you here anymore."

Before she could respond, Veronica, standing nearby, grew unhappy. "Hey, William, when did it become your turn to call the shots? Louis hasn't said anything yet. Why are you talking?"

I froze for a moment, speechless, then glanced at her. I wanted to say something but ultimately decided to remain silent. There was no point in speaking to such a person. She could do whatever she wanted.

Mrs. Brown gave me a disdainful glance and snorted. "Felicia, you're not any less attractive than Veronica. How did you end up with someone like this?"

Her words were truly laughable.

Felicia could easily be considered a campus beauty, while Veronica could barely qualify as a department beauty. How could she even say that Felicia wasn't prettier than Veronica?

However, Felicia seemed used to such belittling and only smiled faintly. "Mrs. Brown, everyone has their own preferences. You love your son-in-law, so you should cherish him. As for me, I chose someone I truly like, so there's no need for you to worry."

Mrs. Brown scoffed before saying, "I simply wanted to remind you. The Cylon family has been poor for generations. If you don't find a rich husband, you'll be poor for generations to come!"

Her words were becoming increasingly mean, which made me furrow my brow.
