Riches in Disguise

"Why are you so mean to me? I just find you handsome when you're being so thoughtful and caring toward your girlfriend," Crystal said.

What a lunatic. I couldn't be bothered to deal with her and decided to head back to the dorm. I would like to see if she could follow me into the men's dormitory. However, she really did follow me all the way.

She suddenly dashed in front of me and blocked my path when we reached the dormitory building.

"William, here. Take this." She handed me a piece of paper.

I froze for a moment, instinctively taking it. "What's this?"

"There's a gathering tomorrow, and I want you to come with me. The details— time, location, and my contact info—are all written on it.

"You must come, okay? I'll introduce you to some amazing friends!"

Was she insane? I had already made it clear how much she annoyed me, and now she wanted me to attend a party with her. Did she think everyone in the world was as delusional as she was?

I didn't hesitate to rip the note into tiny pieces and toss it into the trash can right before her. Then, I turned and went into the dormitory. If that didn't discourage her, then I would truly be impressed by her persistence.

When I entered the room upstairs, I saw my three roommates, each busy with their own tasks. Two were studying, and one was chatting on the phone.

Everyone was fully occupied. It was a scene of productivity.

I plopped down next to Benjamin, glanced at the notes he was reviewing, and pulled out my phone to send him a file.

"Don't waste your time on that. It's useless. This is a key summary a senior shared with me. Go through this, and you'll ace the exam for sure."

This summary was actually prepared by a tutor my dad had hired. It was incredibly detailed, with concise analysis far better than any teacher could put together.

If Benjamin could master this, he would definitely rank in the top three in the finals.

Benjamin skimmed through the summary and was instantly impressed.

"Wow, William. Where did you find such an amazing senior? If they can write something like this, they must be a genius among geniuses!"

I chuckled at this reaction. This wasn't just the work of a genius. It was the work of a top-tier scholar, one of the rare few who held the highest academic titles in the country.

"Of course."

"Hey, let me see, too!"

Matthew and Liam also crowded in. Naturally didn't hold back and sent them each a copy. After distributing it, I reminded them, "Don't share this with anyone else. Especiallyŷou, Matthew. Don't even let Isabelle see it.

"If she shares it with her girlfriends, this summary will spread like wildfire, and we'll lose all our competitive edge."noveldrama

Matthew burst out laughing. "William, you really don't understand women, do you? Let me tell you. If I share it with Isabelle, she won't tell anyone, not even Charlotte!"

"How can you be so sure? What if she does?"

Hearing this, Benjamin and Liam shook their heads at me, exasperated.

"You really don't get how women think. If they were unattractive, maybe they would share. But if they're beautiful, they're always competing with each other.

"If they have something valuable, they would rather keep it to themselves than let anyone else have it."

That sounded like nonsense to me. I couldn't bring myself to believe it Still, out of curiosity, I permitted Matthew to tell Isabelle. Not long after, she called back and insisted that Matthew put her on speaker.

"As a trade-off, I'll tell you guys a huge secret!"

The moment she said this, we all perked up with curiosity. "What huge secret?"

She said mysteriously, "Our school's most famous heiress-the school's belle- has a boyfriend now!"
