Riches in Disguise

I looked at Sophia coldly. "My mom and I trust Vincent, which is why we left the estate in your care. Sophia, you..." Just as I was about to lecture her, an image suddenly flashed in my mind.

I grabbed her wrist without warning. "Did you go to the hospital recently? To induce labor for an ectopic pregnancy?"

"Mr. White!" Sophia's face turned ashen with fear. "H-how did you know?"

So, she was really the one.

I took a deep breath. "Joshua has treated you so poorly, yet you still took

advantage of your position by giving him my room card and even my mother's car keys?"

Tears streamed down Sophia's face, and she dropped to her knees in front of me with a thud.

"Mr. White, I-I'm sorry. I just love him too much. Please forgive me. I can't lose this job. I'm drowning in credit card debt."

"Credit card debt?" I couldn't believe it. "You make nearly 20 thousand a month, and you're still in debt?"noveldrama

Sophia covered her face, sobbing. "Most of my salary goes to Joshua. I got into debt because he forced me to take out cash advances. I have to repay over ten thousand a month, and it'll take a year and a half to pay it all back."

Good grief. To go this far for a scumbag? I was genuinely astounded.

Seeing her so fearful, I pulled her up from the ground and pointed toward Joshua, who was proudly showing off his new car to Lina nearby. "Take a good look. Joshua already has a girlfriend.

"See that girl beside him? That's her. Is it really worth throwing everything away for a man like him?" I asked.

Sophia shook her head slowly. "Mr. White, you must be mistaken. Isn't that girl his sister?"

Clearly, she knew nothing. I had originally called her over just to scare her, hoping she would expose Joshua's true colors. I didn't expect she had been deceived as well.

I pulled up Joshua's Instagram page and showed it to her. He had posted several photos with Lina, leaving no room for doubt.

"T-This is his account? The one I follow isn't this one. He has two accounts? He lied to me!"

Clutching the phone, tears streamed down Sophia's face.

I shook my head. I didn't know how to comfort her.

A short distance away, Joshua was teaching Lina and Zack how to open the car doors. Even Roger and Tom were watching. They all were recording the car eagerly with their phones.

Lina, her face flushed with excitement, sat in the passenger seat. She then struck different poses for selfies.

The other students were envious. They stood at the end of the car, sneaking photos while glancing eagerly at Joshua, waiting for him to invite them to take a turn inside.

Joshua was extremely smug. "Don't worry, everyone will get a chance tonight. We have time!"

He then leaned down and whispered in Lina's ear, "Babe, are you happy tonight? Since you're happy, how about making me happy too?

"We've been together for a while now. Isn't it time you finally gave it to me? How about we go to a hotel tonight?" Joshua asked.

Lina's face turned even redder. She said shyly, "You're already home. Why not just use a room in the manor?"

"Uh... I'm worried my mom might hear us. It wouldn't be good."

"Well, alright then."

"Babe, did you just agree?"

Joshua was excited. He held her face and moved in to kiss her, but just as he did,

he felt a sharp pain on the back of his head.
