Female Novel
Chapter 986
Jeff was even more stunned.
What was happening? The two million dollars had arrived?
Wasn’t Charlie, this pathetic jerk, simply a live-in son-in-law who was living off his wife? How did he getso much money?
The others also realized that they had underestimated Charlie previously. They really did not expectCharlie to be so capable even though he was simply a live-in son-in-law.
He did not only donate one million dollars as he said he would, but when his friend, who had noconnection to the orphanage, heard that he was donating one million dollars to the orphanage, he wasalso willing to donate another one million to the orphanage. What kind of friend was this? How could hebe so awesome?
At this time, Charlie stood up before he looked at Jeff, who had a shocked and flustered expression onhis face, before he said, “Jeff, everyone here might still be recording a video right now. Since my onemillion dollars have already arrived, where is your ten million dollars then? When will you be donating itto the orphanage?”
Jeff was completely defeated at this time. How could he possibly be able to donate ten million dollars tothe orphanage today when he might not even be able to raise one hundred thousand dollars now?
Most importantly, he still had a big hole that he has to fill in now. If he did not fill in this big hole, then hemight get ripped apart into pieces.
As he thought about this, Jeff knew very well that he would not be able to win today. He was alreadydeemed to lose face today and he would not be able to save his face even if he continued actingpretentiously.
Therefore, he could only glance at Charlie as he said, “Charlie, since you’re so rich, why don’t you takeout some of your money and allow me to manage your finances for you then? I can help you doubleyour investment in one week!”
Charlie smiled and asked, “What? Aren’t you donating the ten million dollars anymore?”
Jeff replied embarrassedly, “Are you kidding me? Even if I’m doing well, I won’t possibly have so muchmoney! I was blind to have failed to recognize your talents. Please forgive me and do not hold it againstme.”
The others sneered before they said, “Jeff, you are too much. Charlie has already donated one milliondollars and his friend also donated another one million dollars on his account! Don’t you think that youshould be honoring your promise? Even if you don’t have ten million dollars, you should at least donateone million dollars then! That would be fair enough!”
The expression on Jeff’s face was very ugly. However, even if he felt very embarrassed right now, hedid not dare to continue being pretentious.
After all, these people were still recording videos on their cell phones. If he continued beingpretentious, then he would really lose face in future when these videos were released.
At this time, he had no choice but to slap himself in the face a few times before he said guiltily, “I admitit. It’s all my fault. I was being pretentious. I don’t have that much money and yet I was seeking toimpress everyone by pretending that I had that ability. I’m sorry!”
Jeff was very depressed when he said this.
He felt that William and one or two of his orphanage friends, who had been planning to talk to himabout his own financial investment funds, would have seen right through his act now. Since he hadalready been exposed, none of them would want to invest in him anymore.
If that was the case, he really did not know where he was going to find the money to buy a Phaeton forCaesar.
As he thought about this, Jeff did not have the face to continue staying here anymore. He stood up in ahurry before he said anxiously, “Sorry, everyone. I will leave first because I have something to donow…”
After he was done speaking, Jeff got up and ran out of the restaurant.
Everyone felt very disgusted when they saw him running away. He had been so pretentious earlier, butnow he was running away like a coward! Moreover, he did not even donate any money to theorphanage at all! This was really hateful!novelbin
When Caleb saw Jeff running off, he could not help but sighed as he said, “Charlie, you shouldn’t havelet him run away! You should have held him back here and forced him to donate the money!”
Charlie smiled indifferently before he said, “Then, wouldn’t I have become the wicked person? It’s okay.Let him go. The wicked will be harassed by another of their ilk.”
William, who loved to take advantage, felt a little tense when he saw Jeff running away. He was filledwith fear that he would not be able to marry his girlfriend. Therefore, he hurriedly stood up and chasedafter Jeff.
As soon as he left, Harry, Jeff’s lackey from before said contemptuously, “I finally see through Jeff forwho he really is! He’s such a pretentious person! He was kneeling down on the ground and begginglike a dog when he hit someone else’s Phaeton. After that, he even had the face to say that thePhaeton belonged to him. He’s really full of crap! I really have to draw a clear line from this stupid guyin the future!”
Everyone was shocked and they hurriedly asked, “He hit someone else’s Phaeton? What happened?”
