Max was even more stunned.
What was happening? The two million dollars had arrived? 6
Wasn't Charlie, this pathetic jerk, simply a live-in son-i n-law who was living off his wife? How did he get so much money? s
The others also realized that they had underestimated Charlie previously. They really did not expect Charlie t o be so capable even though he was simply a live-in son-in-law. 9
He did not only donate one million dollars as he said h e would, but when his friend, who had no connection t o the orphanage, heard that he was donating one million dollars to the orphanage, he was also willing t o donate another one million to the orphanage. What kind of friend was this? How could he be so awesome? 2
At this time, Charlie stood up before he looked at Max, who had a shocked and flustered expression on his face, before he said, "Max, everyone here might still be recording a video right now. Since my one million dollars have already arrived, where is your ten million dollars then? When will you be donating it to the orphanage?" 6
Max was completely defeated at this time. How could he possibly be able to donate ten million dollars to the
orphanage today when he might not even be able to raise one hundred thousand dollars now? 1
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 he might get ripped apart into pieces. 4
As he thought about this, Max knew very well that he would not be able to win today. He was already deemed to lose face today and he would not be able to save his face even if he continued acting pretentiously. 2
Therefore, he could only glance at Charlie as he said," Charlie, since you're so rich, why don’t you take out some of your money and allow me to manage your finances for you then? I can help you double your investment in one week!” s
Charlie smiled and asked, "What? Aren't you donating the ten million dollars anymore?"
Max replied embarrassedly, "Are you kidding me?
Even if I'm doing well, I won’t possibly have so much money! I was blind to have failed to recognize your talents. Please forgive me and do not hold it against m e."
