Riches in Disguise

Chapter 370

To be more precise, Charlotte didn't get along with me.

I never had any issue with her initially, but after being insulted by her too many times, I stopped being polite. So when I spoke, I couldn't help but show some anger.

When Charlotte saw me, her demeanor immediately shrank. She looked at me with a hint of grievance in her eyes. "William, why are you bothering Gabrielle? You didn't even tell me that you were coming. I sent you messages, but you didn't reply."

She did send me two messages that day, but they were meaningless. One text asked me what I was doing, and the other asked if I was done with class.

I didn't reply.

I knew exactly why she was suddenly concerned about me. It wasn't because she cared but because recent events made her suspicious that I might be a rich heir. I figured that she probably wanted to get closer to me to find out more about me.

If I told her the truth—that I was just a pauper-she would probably never even look at me again. I knew exactly what kind of person she was. I just didn't want to bother with people like that.

I simply said, "I didn't
