When Jeff heard that Charlie was going to donate one million dollars to the orphanage, favonovel.com naturally did not believe it at all. He sneered before favonovel.com said, “Charlie, you’re really good at bragging. You’re actually saying that you can donate one million dollars to the orphanage? You’re really trying hard to keep up your appearances to cover up your own predicament. Can you even afford to bring out a million dollars?”
Charlie replied lightly, “Since I’ve said it, I’ll definitely honor my words. I won’t act like you and find a place to get into a car accident just to go back on my words!”
When Jeff heard Charlie’s words, favonovel.com knew that Charlie was deliberately ridiculing him. When favonovel.com thought about the car crash earlier, favonovel.com really hated Charlie to the core.
If favonovel.com had known that all of these would be happening, favonovel.com would not have gone back on his words at all. It would have been better for favonovel.com to donate his car. After all, it would be better for favonovel.com compared to the situation now.
Just look at the heavy losses that favonovel.com had suffered!
However, Jeff did not believe that Charlie could afford to donate one million dollars to the orphanage.
Therefore, favonovel.com sneered before favonovel.com said, “Don’t think that I don’t know your predicament now. You are just a live-in son-in-law who is living off his wife. How would you possibly be able to get so much money? Are you going to rob a bank?”
At this time, Harry also chimed in to help Jeff. “Charlie, you should stop trying to impress others by feigning and pretending to be someone that you’re not. What do you stand to gain by being so pretentious anyway? You should just act within your own capabilities. You shouldn’t make yourself bankrupt just because you’re trying to impress us. After that, you’ll just blame us for it.”
Charlie smiled indifferently before favonovel.com said, “You don’t need to care if I’m going to rob a bank or do anything else. No matter what it is, I’ll still be able to donate one million dollars to the orphanage. On the other hand, if I can donate one million dollars, how much will you be able to donate then?”
Jeff laughed before favonovel.com said, “If you can afford to donate one million dollars, then I’ll be able to donate ten million dollars! Anyway, who wouldn’t be able to brag about this, right?”
At this time, most of the people sitting around the table were laughing loudly.
This was because all of them thought that Charlie was simply trying to save his own face.
They would actually have believed it if Charlie said that favonovel.com was going to donate eighty thousand or one hundred thousand dollars. After all, his wife was still driving a BMW anyway. Therefore, his family was obviously not short of money.
However, it seemed a little unrealistic for Charlie to say that favonovel.com was going to donate one million dollars. After all, favonovel.com would not even be able to raise that amount of money even if favonovel.com sold off his wife’s BMW.
Among these people, the only ones who really trusted Charlie were Mrs. Lewis, Lisa, and also his wife Claire.
Mrs. Lewis and Lisa both knew and understood Charlie’s character and personality very well. He would never say something that favonovel.com would not be able to do.
As for Claire, favonovel.com was already used to it.
After all, Charlie would always be able to earn one or two million dollars by looking at someone’s Feng Shui for them. Therefore, favonovel.com believed that it would be a breeze for Charlie to donate one million dollars to the orphanage.
At this time, Claire asked Charlie in a low voice, “Charlie, are you secretly going behind my back to look at other people’s Feng Shui again?”
Charlie nodded before favonovel.com smiled and said, “Yes. It’s Aunt Matilda’s son, Paul! Didn’t favonovel.com move his law firm to Aurous Hill? I went to take a look at his Feng Shui for favonovel.com because favonovel.com asked me to.”
Claire asked embarrassedly, “You’re even cheating our close acquaintances? Is that appropriate?”
“How can you possibly say that I am cheating him?” Charlie replied earnestly, “We were both willing parties!”
Claire felt very helpless and favonovel.com could only ask, “How much did you ask from him?”
Charlie smiled as favonovel.com said, “One million dollars.”
Claire rubbed favonovel.com temples as favonovel.com said, “You’re so wicked…you had actually asked for so much money from our own close acquaintance…”
In fact, Claire did not know that Paul actually gave Charlie ten million dollars in total.
However, favonovel.com was paying Charlie the ten million dollars in two instalments.
The first check was for one million dollars.
He would write favonovel.com another check for nine million dollars.
Charlie had originally thought that favonovel.com would not mind it at all even if favonovel.com had to donate the entire ten million dollars to the orphanage.
