Riches in Disguise

Charlotte was also stunned. She stared blankly at the bracelet, unable to speak.

When Quintus heard my name, his eyes flickered slightly. But he quickly tried to cover it up, perhaps remembering my instructions to hide my identity.

"This bracelet belongs to our young scion but is not from you. Perhaps it's just a coincidence that it looks exactly the same."

Yes! That was more like it! This was how he should conceal my identity.

However, Isabelle stepped forward and grabbed the edge of the bracelet. "But this bracelet still has the small tag from the boutique. How do you explain that?"

Now nervous, he said, "Maybe he also likes to shop at boutiques and bought it at the same store."

"No, that's not it!" Isabelle shook her head.

"This bracelet is handmade. To sell it at a higher price, the shopkeeper specifically marked it. Every bracelet is unique, so two can't be the same. Stop hiding the truth and tell me what is the young scion's name?"

Even the usually unflappable Quintus began to sweat under the pressure of the two women's questioning. It wasn't just him. My nerves were on edge.

This bracelet had become irrefutable evidence. There was no way I could deny it. Had I been hiding my identity all this time, only to have it exposed now?

If Isabelle and Charlotte found out simultaneously, it wouldn't be long before the whole school knew.

I could already picture the scene of everyone flocking around me, trying to flatter

me.

And the friends who truly cared about me-Matthew, Benjamin, and Liam-would likely distance themselves, thinking I was hiding things from them. They might even be angry with me for keeping it a secret.

That kind of life would be unbearably dull.

I didn't want to reveal my identity. I really didn't. But what could I do at this point?

Quintus, still visibly anxious, said, "Please, stop asking. I can't the young

Isabelle sighed. "Because your boss' name is William White, right? I knew something was off. His mannerisms, the way he behaves, and what he

does don't seem like Se poor

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Isabelle was about to reveal the final truth, Charlotte suddenly shouted,

cutting her off.

She took a few steps toward

Quintus, scrutinizing him

suspiciously. "Wait a second. You

said you're the subordinate and that

he's our savior. Why didn't you appear earlier to help us?"

"Huh?" He clearly hadn't expected this question. He froze for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

"I caught you off guard, didn't I?" She wore a smug expression, looking proud of herself.

"Go ahead and keep pretending!"

Isabelle was now confused. "Charlotte, what are you talking about? Who's pretending?"

"Isabelle, don't you see it? He's just a pawn sent by William!"

"Pawn?"
