Riches in Disguise

As we were chatting, Damian came over himself.

He still had bruises on his face. However, he paid them no attention. He made a beeline toward Benjamin and grovelled, "Mr. Carter, I was blind and and offended you. I hope you can forgive me! These gifts are part of my apology. If you accept them, it means you've forgiven me. I'll be your servant catering to your every whim. One sentence from you and I'll do anything you ask!"

Benjamin gulped.

This was the first time in his life he had experienced being so revered by others.

He had no idea what was going on. However, to prevent exposing himself before Tiffany, he said, "Fine, that's good. Make yourself scarce. I forgive you."

"Thank you, Mr. Carter. I won't disturb your feast. All your spendings here will be under my tab. I'll take my leave now."

Then, he looked up at me, as though he was asking for permission to leave.

I nodded lightly.noveldrama

He sighed in relief and escaped. Damian probably never wanted to see me again.

Everyone working in the restaurant was confused after him and his subordinates left. They'd seen too many unexpected things today. Stories of today probably could fill up days of conversation.

I slung my arm around Benjamin's shoulders and said, "You're amazing, Ben!"

Benjamin looked at me shyly. He'd probably guessed that I was behind this. While he was grateful, he was also slightly concerned, "William, what's going on? These things..."

"Damian was spooked. These are all gifts to Tiffany. Just take it."

Benjamin sighed and said, "We come from a poor family, so we have no use for such expensive products. Maybe I'll just ask Tiffany to return them. Damian would kill us if he realizes he was scammed."

"That's not going to happen. Don't worry. He wouldn't dare to do so. As to all this, you guys can return it if

you want to. After all, the money that you get will be yours in the end."

Initially, I had planned to give Tiffany some money before she went home. Since

Benjamin wanted to return these gifts, I didn't need to do so anymore.

Returning all this would leave them with around fifty thousand. It was enough for now. If I gave even more, it might mess with their worldview

unexpectedly.

I hoped that they remained as pure as they were now, rather than falling into the seductive lure of money.

After finishing our meal, Benjamin brought his sister to return the gifts while I helped the girls find a hotel to stay at. Then, I went back to our hostel with Liam and Matthew.

They were still bubbling with excitement after getting back. They kept discussing what happened today.

I chomped on my watermelon while listening to their conversation. The way they described it seemed much more interesting.

Matthew's phone rang suddenly. He glanced at it and said, "My wife is calling me!" He picked up immediately.

Liam made a funny face at me and said softly, "His relationship is going to face a swift death if he keeps shoving it in our faces."

I smiled and said nothing.

Matthew turned to me and said,

"You want to treat William to a meal? Sure, why not? He's been busy with Tiffany today and hasn't eaten much Now, he's snacking on watermelon. Alright, I'll tell him about it. He'll be there!"

Matthew hung up and came to sit beside me.

"William, here's your chance at love!"
