Chapter 370
To be more precise, Charlotte didn't get along with me.
I never had any issue with her initially, but after being insulted by her too many times, | stopped being polite. So
when | spoke, | couldn't help but show sanger.
When Charlotte saw me, her demeanor immediately shrank. She looked atwith a hint of grievance in her
eyes. "William, why are you bothering Gabrielle? You didn't even tellthat you were coming. | sent you
messages, but you didn't reply."
She did sendtwo messages that day, but they were meaningless. One text askedwhat | was doing, and
the other asked if | was done with class.
| didn't reply.

| knew exactly why she was suddenly concerned about me. It wasn't because she cared but because recent
events made her suspicious that | might be a rich heir. | figured that she probably wanted to get closer toto
find out more about me.
If | told her the truth—that | was just a pauper-she would probably never even look atagain. | knew exactly
what kind of person she was. | just didn't want to bother with people like that.
So, | simply said, "I didn't feel like replying."
"You... You're too much. | know | made smistakes in the past, and | owe you an apology, but you don't need
to hold a grudge like this. You're a man. Can't you be a bit more magnanimous?"
| smiled and remarked, "What? Men are supposed to be magnanimous, but women can be petty. What happened
to gender equality? Besides, if you keep saying that, the generous women might have something to say to you."
"You!" Charlotte was at a loss for words. She frowned and angrily stamped her foot.
"Enough. Let's stop talking about us. Let's talk about you and Gabrielle. William, did you know that Gabrielle is
already engaged to Mr. Singleton? If you're with Gabrielle now, you'll offend him!"
| coldly replied, "I don't care."
Who cared about Mr. Singleton? If he knew aboutand behaved properly, that would be fine. But if he dared to
cause trouble, | would ensure he left Welsington City.
Gabrielle looked atwith a pained expression I'm sorry, William. | didn't expect them to go this far. As soon as
they saw you, they all started insulting you. | thought would be polite when you returned withsince there
were guests. | didn't expect this..."
As she spoke, she suddenly started crying.
| helplessly wiped away her tears. "Silly girl, why are you crying? It's just a few insults. It's not a big deal I've
heard much worse at school. You can ask Charlotte. She's insultedfar more harshly than your relatives."
Charlotte's face turned red, and she hurriedly said, "I never insulted you! That was all a misunderstanding."
"You really have the nerve to say you never insulted me?"
| was speechless. She had been insultingsince she first cto meet me
with Lina. And every tafter that, she would openly or subtly insult me.
Now, she was claiming that she never insulted me. Did this world have any justice?
Gabrielle looked at Charlotte with surprise and confusion. "Charlotte? Why would she insult you?"
I snorted with disdain. "You should ask her."
Charlotte's face turned bright red. Perhaps she was embarrassed by what | said and angrily retorted, "I didn't
want to insult him. He clearly doesn't have money. Yet, he keeps pretending to be a rich heir infront of my friend
while pursuing her.
"Only after he got her did we learn that his family only ran a fruit stand. Tell me,
isn't that fraud? Who wouldn't insult him?"
