The Poor Billionaire novel Chapter 3

Ethan Humphrey looked at Charles Walker and said, "I don't have any money. Well... How about you ask your friends through WhatsApp?"

Before he finished his words, Elie roared immediately, ' Ethan, are you fucking sick? If you don't have money, just shut up!"-

Ethan ignored the furious Elie and just suggested Charles check his phone. Charles was a little confused. He unlocked the phone and then was surprised when he saw the transfer notification on WhatsApp. Ethan had transferred him ten thousand dollars!

"You..."

He looked at Ethan in surprise and confusion. Ethan slightly shook his head to suggest he not to speak.

The waiter was a little impatient and said, "Are you done yet? Take her away. If you guys want to save her, bring enough money!"

After that, security guards started to drag Elie out, who was crying loudly.

Seeing this, Charles hurriedly said, "Wait, my friend transferred money to me. I could pay now!"

Charles hurriedly paid the bill by phone. After the waiter confirmed he got the money, he glanced at everyone with disdain and then left with those security guards.

After the waiter left, everyone relieved. Dylan patted Charles's shoulder and said, "Charles, without you, we must be in big trouble!"

Lily, who had been silent for a long time, said at this moment, "That's right. Charles, you are so brave. Only you came forward bravely and handled everything at this critical moment. Unlike someone else, who only blow his own horn!"

Charles realized that Lily was indirectly blaming Ethan, he was so angry and tried to explain "You..."

But at this time, perhaps recovering from the shock, Elie directly rushed over and gave Ethan a hard slap.

Charles was shocked at once, and then he roared, "What the fuck is wrong with you!"

Elie glared at Ethan with disdain and gnashed her teeth in anger. "What? I think you're sick. Charles, I am telling you seriously, If you don’t want to be embarrassed in the future, never hang out with the trash. Instead of helping, he poured fuel on the fire when I was in trouble. Isn't he trying to kill me?"

Charles roared, "What are you talking about? Don't you know..."

Before he could finish his words, Ethan suddenly pulled him back.

"Charles, don't say anymore. I don't care."

Ethan shook his head. He didn't want too many people to know his secrets. He helped Elie only for Charles's sake. This would be his first time helping her, and also the last time.

After a while of hesitation, Charles gritted his teeth and glared at Elie with disdain. Then he took Ethan's arm and walked out of the restaurant.

Charles was still angry after getting outside. He kicked over the trash can next to him and said indignantly, "Ethan, why didn't you let me explain? If you didn't help, who knows what she would suffer. I would slap her If she wasn't my sister!"

Ethan patted Charles's shoulder and smiled, "It's okay, I don't care."

Charles still wanted to say something, but suddenly froze. Then he looked at Ethan and asked doubtfully, "Ethan, why you have so much money?"

Ethan didn't know how to answer. At that moment, he just considered how to get rid of trouble but forgot to conceal the secret of this money. Charles would never believe if he said he saved this money by himself, because Ethan was a person who almost couldn't afford a bowl of noodles. Everyone would feel unbelievable if he could have 10 thousand dollars.

Ethan slightly opened his mouth and was about to explain. At this second, his phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone in a hurry and found it was a strange number.

"Could it be my father again?"

As soon as Ethan picked up the phone, he heard a woman's voice.

"Hello, Young Master Ethan."

Hearing this gentle and elegant voice, Ethan felt a little confused, and he asked, "Who are you?"

That woman said slowly, "My name is Maggie Hill. Mr. Norman asked me to hand you one thing. If you are convenient, may I send it to you now?"

Ethan looked around and said, "Tell me where you are and I could go to find you."

Maggie hesitated for a second and asked, "What about... I'll wait for you at the Queen Bar near your university? What do you think?"

Ethan nodded and agreed. Hanged up the phone, he looked at Charles and said with a smile, "I still have something to figure out. I will go back a little late tonight."

Charles looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "OK... But, you haven't explained your money yet!"

Ethan smiled and said, "I'll tell you later."

After he said that, he hailed a taxi and left.
