However, the point was that he could not bring out ten million dollars in such a rash manner. After all, it would be really difficult for him to explain himself since there were so many people watching him.
Moreover, it would not be easy for Charlie to explain himself to Claire. After all, this was an astronomical figure. Therefore, Charlie felt that one million dollars was a much more reasonable amount of money.
Charlie looked at Jeff before he smiled faintly and said, “If I can really afford to donate one million dollars to the orphanage, then will you really donate ten million dollars to the orphanage?”
“Yes!” Jeff replied without any hesitations at all. After that, he said arrogantly, “If a pathetic jerk like you can afford to donate one million dollars, then I won’t even have a problem donating one hundred million dollars to the orphanage!”
Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, “Wait a minute. I’d like to take a video as proof of our agreement!”
After that, Charlie smiled before he said to everyone, “Please take out your cell phones and take a video as proof of our agreement!”
When the group of people heard that there was such a good show, they hurriedly took out their cell phones before they turned on the video recording function on their phones.
Charlie said calmly: “I, Charlie Wade, voluntarily donate one million dollars to the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute. As long as I donate this one million dollars to the orphanage, then this man beside me, Jeff Mowry, will donate ten million dollars to the orphanage. Everyone present here today will be a witness to our aforesaid agreement. If either one of us goes back on our word, we will be spurned and despised by the people of this country!”
Jeff sneered before he said, “Okay, but you’ll have to take out the one million dollars first. As long as you can take out the one million dollars, then I’ll definitely donate ten million dollars to the orphanage immediately!”
Even if anyone were to kill Jeff, he would not believe that Charlie would be able to take out one million dollars.
Jeff assumed that the one hundred thousand dollars that Charlie used to pay for the dinner earlier was probably the hard-earned money that he had spent several years saving up.
At this time, Charlie took out his worn out wallet from his pocket before he looked at the two checks that Paul had given him.
This time, he was very meticulous. He looked at the check to confirm that the check he was holding was in fact the check for one million dollars before he took it out from his wallet.
After taking the check out, Charlie handed the check directly to Mrs. Lewis as he said, “Mrs. Lewis, this is a cash check for one million dollars. You can bring it to the bank to exchange it for one million dollars at any time. Please accept it.”
Jeff curled the corner of his lips as he sneered and said, “You’re simply taking out a piece of torn paper and saying that it is a cash check for one million dollars? Are you kidding me?”
Charlie smiled before he asked, “You don’t believe me? Why don’t you check the cash check for yourself if you don’t believe it?”
Jeff sneered as he said, “Of course I don’t believe you. I had also played Monopoly when I was young. I know that each banknote in the Monopoly game is also worth several million dollars. Should I take a few banknotes from Monopoly and donate it to the orphanage too? Besides that, I’m not a banker, so how would I know how to verify the authenticity of a check?”
Charlie smiled helplessly before he nodded and said, “Since you refuse to admit defeat until you’re faced with the grim reality, then I will fulfill your wish.”
After that, Charlie took out his cell phone before he called Paul.
When Paul answered the phone, he said respectfully, “Master Wade.”
Charlie smiled before he said, “Paul, I’m sorry but I’ll have to trouble you with something.”
Paul hurriedly replied, “Master Wade, please just tell me what you need.”
Charlie replied, “I seem to have misplaced the one million dollars cash check that you gave me. I might not be able to exchange it for one million dollars then. Could you transfer the one million dollars to me directly? I will return the cash check to you when I find it.”
Paul smiled before he said, “Yes of course. Give me your bank account number and I’ll transfer it to you immediately. You also do not have to return the check to me once you find it!”
Charlie smiled before he said, “Paul, you’re really very efficient in what you do. I really admire you very much.”
Paul smiled before he said, “Master Wade, you’re being too polite. Give me your bank account and I’ll transfer the money to you immediately.”
Charlie replied, “You can look for the bank account number for donations to Aurous Hill Welfare Institute and you can transfer the one million dollars directly to that account.”
Paul asked in surprise, “Master Wade, are you going to donate the money to the orphanage?”
“Yes.” Charlie replied lightly, “I grew up in this orphanage.”
Paul immediately said, “Oh, I see! Don’t worry, Master Wade. I’ll transfer the money over to the orphanage right now. In fact, I’ll transfer two million dollars to the orphanage. The extra one million dollars is just a small token from me!”
