Riches in Disguise

I was speechless. She didn't even know my name, yet she dared to bring me home.

"My name's William White."

"I'm Gabrielle Whitehead, 23 years old, born in November, and a Scorpio." She even had to tell me her horoscope.

At that moment, Kaelyn stepped forward, her expression cold. "Let me introduce everyone. This is Gabrielle's boyfriend, his name is..."

Kaelyn looked back at me, and I dutifully replied, "I'm William White."

"William, this is Gabrielle's father, Reginald Whitehead. This is her uncle, Matias Hayes, and his wife. This is her..."

As the introductions continued, I only remembered the first two people. The others blurred together.

It seemed that Gabrielle running away from home and refusing to marry the man her family arranged for her was such a big deal that they needed this many relatives involved.

This situation likely had more to do with the Whitehead family's interests than Gabrielle's happiness. Clearly, these people cared more about their own benefits than her well-being.

The life of a wealthy heiress in such a small family wasn't easy.

"Boyfriend? Gabrielle, you're already engaged, and now you're fooling around with another man? If this gets out, the Whitehead family will be embarrassed!"

Reginald was the first to speak up, with the rest of the relatives nodding in agreement.

Once I realized that they didn't care about Gabrielle's happiness, I didn't feel the need to care about their dignity. So, I confronted them directly.

"If the Whitehead family prioritized their reputation, they wouldn't force their daughter to marry someone she doesn't like! What era are we in?

"You're still arranging marriages, forcing weddings, and sacrificing Gabrielle's happiness for your own interests, yet you still have the nerve to talk about reputations? You lost your reputation long ago. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"

After I said that, the whole room fell silent.

Kaelyn stared at me in shock. Even Gabrielle covered her mouth in fear.

They never expected me to say such things so bluntly.

"What did you say? Who's disregarding Gabrielle's happiness? The Singleton family heir is

handsome, comes from a

prestigious background, and bel

excellent character. Gabrielle marrying him is a match made in heaven. How is that not happiness? Do you think she'll be happy with a loser like you?"

I sneered. "If L'hadn't seen Mr. Singleton's photo on the way here, I might have, believed your nonsense He's a pig-someone you described as a handsome, rich guy. It looks like I was right when I said you have no shame." sŵnovel

On the way here, Gabrielle showed me a picture of the man her family wanted her

to marry. After seeing it, I felt like I'd lose my appetite for three days.

He was barely five feet seven inches tall, weighed at least 253 pounds, and had a swollen, greasy face. The sight was revolting.

The scariest part was his terrible skin. He was covered in pimples and acne-truly as repulsive as one could get. And yet, they dared to call him handsome.noveldrama

Their shamelessness was extraordinary.

Reginald's face turned as dark as

storm clouds, at my retort. "Who allowed you to bring this worthless kid into our house? What right does he have to interfere with the е Whitehead family's matters? Get him out!"

"Yes. Get him out!"

In their embarrassment, they kept trying to push me out.

Kaelyn was utterly furious, glaring at me. "If you still want to stay here, shut up. If you say one more word, I'll throw you out!"

"Go ahead. I'll leave, but I'm taking Gabrielle with me."

"Do you think that this is some random place where you can take anyone with

you? If you anger us, you may not even get to leave!"
