"Really? Looks like an envelope..."
"There are more in the other boxes!"
This caused a bit of a stir, making Carolina frown. Out of curiosity, she went over to take a look.
Chloe was even more curious. Her gut told her there must be something special in those envelopes. She bent down and retrieved the envelope from beneath the first stack of cash.
Upon opening the envelope, Chloe was still surprised, even though she had some guesses beforehand.
"What's this?"
Kane was also intrigued. They were there to support her today, but they had no idea what Damon Harper's specific plans were.
What Chloe pulled out of the envelope was a check.
"Holy... how many zeros is that?!... A billion?!"
Even for Kane, a wealthy guy, a billion dollars was shocking.
"Damon really is something..." Kane muttered quietly beside Chloe.
Chloe stared at the check for a while, then gave a faint smile.
She knew Damon too well, and this feeling gave her a great sense of comfort. This man understood Carolina so well that he had not only brought Kane and Noah to support her, but he had also done this...
"A billion?!"
Someone in the crowd gasped aloud, immediately causing an uproar.
"This...this is too much! Is it for real?"
Someone looked at the check in Chloe's hand and confirmed, "It's real. It's really a billion."
"That's more like it! The famous Chloe, who could snag her for just over eight million?"
Upon hearing this, Carolina froze in her tracks. She looked at Chloe in disbelief.
A billion?! How was that even possible?!
She stood still, then quickly made her way through the crowd to Chloe.
She snatched the check from Chloe's hand, and even after confirming the ten zeros, it still felt surreal to her.
Chloe quickly snatched the check back from her.
Carolina regained her senses, frowned at Chloe, but Chloe coldly placed the check back into the envelope.
"This is mine."
Carolina opened her mouth as if to say something, but someone in the crowd posed a question.
"There are envelopes in the other seventeen boxes too, does that mean..."
"That couldn't be..."
"There's no way it could be that outrageous..."
Hearing this, Chloe was surprised, but given her knowledge of Damon, her suspicion made her nervous.
He wouldn't be that audacious, would he?
Chloe bent down and picked up the envelope from the second box, opened it, and was immediately stunned, her mouth slightly agape, speechless for a moment.
Impatient, Kane leaned in, took a look, and gasped, "Oh my God, another billion!"
