Riches in Disguise

As soon as they turned their attention away from me, I planned to slip out unnoticed. I spotted some juice on the table and reached for it. However, I quickly hesitated and put it back.

It was better not to eat or drink anything in places like this. One would never know who might have the intention of spiking it with something nasty. This kind of thing wasn't uncommon in the trust fund kid circles.

I crossed my arms, growing impatient and wondering when I could leave. Just then, a sharp, feminine voice rang out from the door. "Let's welcome Mr. Caldwell's beloved girlfriend!"

Soon, a woman walked in, wearing a black strappy long dress. Her pearl earrings sparkled, and her thick, dark hair was styled in glossy curls. Bright red lipstick finished off her bold look.

At first glance, she was stunning. When I looked closer, I froze.

It was Lina.

I hadn't seen her in a while, and I didn't recognize her at first. Her hair was now dyed black, and her entire appearance and aura had transformed. Lina used to be like a pure white daisy in the fall, but now, she looked more like a bold red rose, blooming under the moonlight.

"Damn, she's gorgeous!" someone murmured.

"She's definitely got the aura of a boss' woman," another commented.

"It's no surprise she got rid of Cherry. Cherry's nothing compared to her." "Her feet are so delicate and fair. Dorian sure knows how to pick girls." "Dorian's luck with women is unbelievable. They just keep getting more beautiful."

and kissed his cheek lightly. "Honey, sorry I I kept you waiting."noveldrama

"No problem, I just got here too. Did you get the bag you wanted?" he asked.

"Yes, I did. Thanks, honey," she said with a smile.

As I observed them, I could clearly see that Lina wasn't fond of Dorian. She avoided making eye contact with him, and her body stayed distant from his. Even though she

had initiated the kiss, she never fully

pressed against him.

I sighed, feeling a bit sorry for her. Was she planning to use Dorian the same way

she used Ryan? She had better be careful.

At that moment, Crystal suddenly walked up to Lina and sneered. "Lina, it's you!"

Lina froze when she saw Crystal. "Who are you? Do I know you?"

"Heh, of course you don't know me. However, I know you. You're the bitch who stole my best friend's boyfriend!"

Lina's expression immediately darkened. "Miss, I think you've mistaken."

Dorian frowned. "Crystal, didn't you hear what I just said? This is my girlfriend. Show some respect!"

Crystal shot Dorian a glare. "You're defending this bitch? Do you really think she's something special? Aren't you embarrassed?"

Dorian didn't hold back. "Why should I be embarrassed? Look at the loser you're with. That's a hundred times more embarrassing!"
