Riches in Disguise

Chapter 205

"You're not going to speak?" she said mockingly. "If you don't want to say anything, that's fine. But let me warn you, if you plan to visit the villa again, you'd better call Crystal and have her escort you. Otherwise, if the security catches you, they might call the police and have you detained."

It was just a villa. Did she really think I didn't understand? Even if an outsider somehow got in, the worst that would happen was a warning. There was no way they would detain anyone.

I had no idea if this woman was just clueless or if she thought I was stupid enough to believe her.

When we finally reached the villa for the party, I immediately smelled smoke as soon as we stepped inside.

It was definitely inappropriate to smoke indoors. I couldn't help but wonder what kind of party Crystal had brought me to.
