Gabrielle slowly shook her head. She said, "If two people truly love each other, does it really matter what their
families do? What's there to criticize?"
| really clicked with her. Her values and thoughts were exactly like mine. So what if | let Lina misunderstand my
identity when | was with her back then? Why should things like status or wealth matter to the point that people
insultfor them? Why should I let her cheat onbecause of that?
They were just prejudiced, loving the rich and looking down on the poor. To boost their image, they were
desperately trying to shift the blfor their infidelity onto
me.
In the past, Charlotte would never have admitted to such things. But now, she was quiet.
After hearing what Gabrielle and | said, she hesitated, unsure what to say next.
"What's the point of bringing up the past? William, what do you plan to do now? Even if you pretend to be
Gabrielle's boyfriend, it won't matter. The Singleton family is already pressuring her. Mr. Singleton won't marry

"Her family won't back down unless you can cup with a bride price that exceeds Mr. Singleton's."
| snorted. "You know I'm pretending to be rich. How could | cup with a bride price?"
Gabrielle hurriedly said, "Charlotte, stop talking nonsense. How could | have William pay a bride price? I'll figure
this out myself. Let's serve the tea and get through these next few days."
We had been in the kitchen for quite a while, and it was about twe went back out, or the people in the living
room might get suspicious. So we quickly brewed stea and brought it out.
The conversation had grown even livelier when we stepped into the living room.
"The Singleton family has done really well these past few years! Their newly listed company's stock has been
rising steadily. They only have two sons. While the eldest is impressive, the family won't neglect the younger
one. Whoever marries the younger heir is bound to inherit a large fortune."
"Exactly! | heard that the younger heir of the Singleton family owns 6% of the company's stock. Just think about
it he doesn't need to do. anything. His older brother works hard running the company while he just sits back and
makes money from his shares. How great is that?"
"Yeah. If someone marries him, they'll live a life of luxury. Not only will they eat and live well, but top brands of
clothes and jewelry will be at their fingertips."
"I don't care about those things. What I'm really interested in is the Singleton family's ancestral villa. He still lives
in that mansion. If | could stay there for just a few days, would consider it worth it formy whole life!"
It was clear that they didn't like Quentin. They were after his wealth and stocks. For all that money, they were
willing to sell out Gabrielle.
"Everyone, tea's ready!"
Charlotte, who was typically arrogant at school, was very polite and well-behaved at home. She carefully placed
the tea cups on the table as if afraid of breaking
anything or disturbing the elders in the living room.
They accepted the tea with satisfaction, their eyes filled with approval.
"I heard that Charlotte is quite popular at school. It seems like a group of rich heirs is pursuing her."
When Matias heard this, he
immediately smiled proudly. "She is
something else, but do you know
vel
Lucas Bennett? He's quite the character. He's basically been following her around like a puppy, but she doesn't
even look at him!" Céntent
"Lucas from the Bennett family? He actually pursued Charlotte?"
He laughed. "Yes! He pursued her for quite a while! By the way, Charlotte
offended the heir of Arnoult Group not long ago. A benefactor helped settle things, and Lucas even pretended to
be someone else to please my daughter!"
"Really?"
Everyone burst into laughter, mocking Lucas.
