Charlie looked at Sophie as he waited for her to follow up.
Sophie hurriedly said, "Benefactor, can I get your contact information?”
When Helen saw that her daughter had mustered up her courage to ask Charlie for his contact information, out of fear that Charlie would turn down her daughter's request, Helen hurriedly added, "Oh, that's right! Charlie, it’d be better for you to leave us your contact information. That way, it would be easier for u s to get in touch with you if anything comes up in the future."
When Charlie saw that even his elder, Helen, had spoken up, he felt that it would not be good for him to turn down Sophie’s request. So, he took out his cell phone and said, "We can just add each other on WhatsApp, then. That way, we can contact each other i f there’s a need to do so." 5
Sophie replied embarrassedly, "Benefactor, both my mother and my cell phones have already been taken away by your subordinates...”
Charlie nodded before he said, "I'll ask Mr. Cameron to arrange for someone to send your cell phones back to you later. At the same time, I’ll ask them to give you m
y WhatsApp number." 3
Sophie was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you very much, benefactor!"
At this time, it seemed as though Helen suddenly recalled something, and she said, "By the way, Charlie, during the auction the last time, you were the person who wanted to buy it and kept increasing the price to fight over your father's old mansion with me, right?"
Charlie smiled as he said, "That’s right. It was me."
Helen asked curiously, "So, why did you give it up to m e in the end?"
Charlie shrugged before he said, "I felt that you might actually need that mansion more than I do."
Helen felt a little emotional, and she smiled slightly as she said, "Thank you for willingly parting with what you cherish so much because of me."
"It's what I should do."
