Riches in Disguise

I also laughed when I heard what had happened.

So they skipped the complimentary breakfast and insisted on the paid one? Were they out of their minds?

My family had gone on countless trips and stayed in numerous hotels. Despite having plenty of money, we never looked down on the complimentary breakfasts.

I had previously called them nouveau riche just to irritate them, but now, I genuinely thought they acted like it. They definitely were like nouveau riche to me.

Just because they got a bit of money, they acted like they had all the money in the world to burn, finding joy in stirring up unnecessary drama.noveldrama

"Let's go, Felicia and Mrs. Cylon. I'll take you out for some sightseeing."

To give Mrs. Cylon a good travel experience, I specifically asked Victor to arrange some itineraries and even hired a tour guide. So, for the next few days, Felicia and I did nothing but accompany Mrs. Cylon and follow the guide around Welsington City.

We indulged in food, entertainment, and sightseeing-all thoroughly enjoyable.

After a few days, Mrs. Cylon's initial awkwardness finally eased. She smiled more and spoke with greater confidence.

However, our frequent absences from class displeased Tom. He called Felicia and me separately, warning us that continued truancy would result in credit deductions.

His tone wasn't harsh. He was just being professional and exercising his authority as a counselor.

Ever since Ryan was arrested and the truth about the stolen money was revealed, Tom seemed to avoid me. During meetings, he never made eye contact with me and preferred to relay messages to me through others instead of interacting with me directly.

I could understand his standpoint. Evidently, he was just feeling embarrassed for wrongfully accusing me. Still, I wondered if that was necessary.

It wasn't like this was his first or second time falsely accusing me. Hadn't he gotten used to it by now?

That said, Tom wasn't

wrong-skipping classes all the time was unacceptable. So, after accompanying them for a few days, I had Mrs. Cylon continue exploring with the guide while I returned to school to attend classes.

Besides, with the experience from the past few days, Mrs. Cylon was now well-acquainted with the tour

guide. As such, it wasn't going to be rd.

When I entered the classroom, I immediately spotted Louis. I assumed he had

also received a warning from Tom.

During the break, I overheard

Benjamin and Liam gossiping about

a recent scandal involving a star

athlete. Intrigued, I joined the

conversation and shared my story of

meeting that athlete.

Benjamin and Liam guffawed, thinking I was lying, but I couldn't be bothered to explain.

At this moment, Louis suddenly approached the seat before me, looking

distressed as he asked Zack for a loan.

Zack frowned, looking troubled. "I'm broke, too."

Louis pleaded pitifully, "Just a few hundred will. Help me get through this month. I don't even have money for food now."

"Then eat less! You still haven't paid me back the 200 dollars you borrowed last month."

"Loan me 800 first. Once I get my allowance next month, I'll pay you 1,100 dollars in return."

Hearing this, Zack finally took out his phone to transfer 800 dollars to him.
