As soon as she entered the ward, Elaine held out the one hundred million dollar cash cheque in herhand before yelling, “Charlie! You bastard! How dare you try and cheat me?!”
Charlie was taken aback, and he asked in surprise, “Mom, what are you talking about? When did I tryto cheat you?”
Elaine ignored him and ran directly to Claire as she complained, “Daughter! Look! You have to divorcethis big fat liar today! There is something wrong with this guy! He even tried to cheat your own mother!How can you forgive him?”
Claire was very puzzled and she asked, “Mom, what happened?”
Elaine handed the cheque over to Claire before saying, “Look! Your husband must be crazy! Heactually gave me a fake one hundred million cash cheque, and the cashier at the registration counteralmost called 110 to report me for committing fraud!”
“What…”
Charlie cursed in his heart. This… this had to be the one hundred million dollar cash cheque thatJasmine had given him to thank him.
Damn it! He must have placed it in his pocket and mixed it up with the one hundred and eightythousand dollar cheque!
It was over. Everything was over now.
How could he possibly explain this to Claire?!
Claire took a look at the cash cheque, and the expression on her face changed immediately. After that,she blurted out, “Charlie, what is going on? Why do you have a fake cash cheque worth one hundredmillion dollars? Are you really engaging in fraud now?”
Charlie hurriedly explained himself, “Dear, this is all a misunderstanding!”
Claire frowned before saying, “What the hell is going on here? You’d better explain everything to menow, Charlie.”
At this time, Elaine suddenly cut in, “What else is there to explain?! This cash cheque is quite obviouslya prop that he carries around with him when he goes out to deceive others! He accidentally gave it tome today! Hmph! I think that it is truly fortunate that he gave it to me! Imagine what would havehappened if he actually tried to deceive someone with this fake cash cheque?”
Then, Elaine looked at Claire before she said in a distressed manner, “Claire, he is even brave enoughto commit fraud worth a hundred million dollars now! Are you sure you can still trust someone like him?If you don’t divorce him today, he will unquestionably get our whole family into trouble!”
Claire had a cold expression on her face as she looked at Charlie. “Charlie, if you do not explainyourself and tell me the truth about this matter today, I will truly consider divorcing you! I can accept it ifyou are poor and useless, but I really cannot accept it if you choose to steal, kidnap, or commit fraudjust to earn some money. If that is the case, I will not be able to live with you at all!”
Charlie looked at Claire with an aggrieved expression on his face as he said, “Wife, just listen to me. Iwill explain everything to you. I bought this one hundred million dollar cash cheque from the funeralshop.”
“The funeral shop?” Both Claire and Elaine were taken aback, and they asked, “What is it for? Whathappened?”
Charlie sighed as he continued explaining himself. “Didn’t I tell you that my old man died when I waseight years old? He appeared in my dream two days ago and told me that he was constantly bullied byothers because he had no money to spend down there. So, he asked me to burn him some money…”
As he spoke about it, Charlie sighed as he continued, “I did not dare to delay it any further, so I went tothe funeral shop to ask about this matter. The owner of the funeral shop recommended this cashcheque to me and said that burning one cash cheque that is worth one hundred million dollars is muchmore useful than burning many other smaller notes. Moreover, it is more energy-saving andenvironmentally friendly. I thought of burning it at the intersection tonight, but I unexpectedly gave thewrong cheque to mom instead…”
Upon hearing this, Claire asked suspiciously, “Charlie, are you telling me the truth?”
Charlie nodded hurriedly before he said, “Yes, I am telling you the truth! Just think about how much badluck we have experienced lately! Moreover, who would try to commit fraud with a cash cheque worthone hundred million dollars? No one would fall for it! Even a hospital cashier would not fall for this trick!”
Claire thought about it for a moment and she felt that what Charlie said was very true.
No one would believe that the one hundred million dollar cash cheque was real anyway. Therefore, itwas not suitable to be used as a tool for fraud.
