Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 378

Travis immediately replied, "Ah, right! Friends! Since we're all friends now, can you bring me along? I want to be friends with beautiful women, too!"

I couldn't help but send him a few emojis. "Get lost! You can try to be friends, but it has to be up to them. I can't make that decision."

After sending that, I shut off my phone, choosing to ignore it.

These two women were benefiting from being around me. Many industry bigwigs were on my friend list, and they had made a good impression on these influential people.

But just then, I received a message from Lina.

"You finally made it public, William. I hope you and Charlotte stay together forever."

What?

I was stunned and immediately replied, "Don't overthink it. It's not what you think! Do you even know what 'The Brotherhood of the Iron Forest' means?"

Lina quickly responded, "Stop hiding it. I know Charlotte has been sticking to you lately. Since you refuse to accept me, it's fine if you're with my good friend instead."

It didn't matter how much I explained. Lina was convinced that something was going on between Charlotte and me.

Fine. She could think whatever she wanted.

After taking the photo, Gabrielle seemed much happier. She stood up and said, "I want to take a bath.

Ever since I ran away from home, I've never been able to relax during a bath—I always rush through it. Now that I'm finally home, I need to enjoy it. You two chat for a while."

With that, she grabbed a set of pajamas and went to the bathroom.

Suddenly, only Charlotte and I remained in the room.

Even though I had nothing to hide, it still felt awkward. I tried to make small talk. "I was planning to stay here for a few days, but I'll have to leave tonight. Otherwise, I'll drive them crazy, and staying here will drive me crazy too."

Who knew if they actually meant it?

Some people couldn't even change their opinions about whether they like spicy food or not. How was I supposed to believe someone would change their beliefs after decades over something small?

Whoever believed it could go ahead. By the time Gabrielle finished her bath, I was ready to leave.

"Aren't you going to stay for the night?"

But staying wouldn't help. It would only buy her one more day.

I took her hand and encouraged her, "Gabrielle, you'll have to face it sooner or later. You need to decide your life. I believe in you."
