Felicia nervously fiddled with the edge of her clothes without speaking.
| asked, "Do you need money? If you do, just ask. How much do you need?"
At my words, Felicia quickly glanced atbefore speaking hesitantly, "I don't need money, but you do."
"I need money?" | repeated.
"William..." she said.
She grabbed my hand and pleaded, "Just listen toonce. Let's figure out how to pay back the 113 thousand
dollars, okay? If you don't want the charity foundation to refund it, then we won't. We'll work together to earn the
money back. If it gets tough, | can even do more live streaming. It's not our money. Let's just forget about it."

| almost choked when | heard that. So, she still thinks | stole that money.
| shook her hand off, feeling utterly frustrated. "So, you chere to work just to helppay back the money?"
She nodded lightly.
| was at a loss for words. | couldn't even stay mad at her.
"Felicia, are you out of your mind? Think for a second! If | really stole that money, do you think | would spend it
so recklessly? Would | take it to the stage and accept an award, hoping everyone would notice? Which thief acts
like that? Am | just a fool in your eyes?"
She quickly shook her head. "No, | don't think that. | just thought that maybe you were forced into a corner and
wanted to prove yourself, so you..."
"Would | steal the money and then donate it? | must be out of my mind!"
Felicia fell silent.
I sighed, feeling frustrated. "If I'm really that useless, how do you think | handled that thug earlier? Didn't you
hear what they called me?"
"Mr. White," she muttered.
"Exactly." | nodded. "If | were the kind of guy who had to steal a hundred thousand dollars, why would they

She froze, staring atwith wide eyes as if something had finally clicked. She looked atwith shock, almost
as if she were piecing everything together.
The sight of her stunned expression both amused and frustrated me. Thinking back to the harsh words | had
thrown at her last night, | softened. Despite everything, she was still worried about me. How could | stay mad?
"Forget it. You probably won't figure it out anyway. Con. Let's get something to eat."
It was already noon, and she probably hadn't even had breakfast. | wanted to take her to grab a bite. After

Once we arrived, | let her order while | went to the restroom.
As | walked out after a few minutes, | noticed a few familiar-looking women heading toward the door.
They looked like they were from our school.
My eyes lit up, and it suddenly clicked.
The lady with straight bangs was Elaine, Charlotte's friend who usually hung out with her. | hadn't seen her
around lately, so it seemed like she was off with someone else.
As | returned to the dining area, | noticed Felicia being pestered by a man.
"Can you just leavealone? I've told you that | have a boyfriend. You're really annoying," she said.
"So what if you have a boyfriend? That doesn't stop us from being friends. Why be so petty? Just giveyour
contact, okay?" the man replied, grinning.
