The Amazing son in law Chapter 984

Nonetheless, the reality was that he couldn’t just pull out ten million dollars on a whim. It would be incredibly challenging for him to justify such an action, especially with so many eyes on him.

Furthermore, Charlie knew that explaining his actions to Claire wouldn’t be easy either. Ten million dollars was an astronomical sum. Thus, he believed that a donation of one million dollars was a much more manageable figure.

With a faint smile, Charlie turned to Jeff and asked, “If I can genuinely afford to donate one million dollars to the orphanage, will you really donate ten million dollars?”

“Absolutely!” Jeff replied without hesitation. He then added with an air of arrogance, “If someone as pathetic as you can manage to donate one million, then I wouldn’t have any trouble donating one hundred million to the orphanage!”

Charlie nodded and said, “Hold on. I’d like to record this agreement as proof!”

With that, he addressed the crowd, “Everyone, please take out your cell phones and record this as evidence of our agreement!”

Excited by the unfolding drama, the onlookers quickly retrieved their phones and activated the video recording feature.

Charlie spoke calmly, “I, Charlie Wade, hereby voluntarily donate one million dollars to the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute. In return, as long as I make this one million dollar donation, this man beside me, Jeff Mowry, will donate ten million dollars to the orphanage. Everyone here today is a witness to this agreement. If either of us fails to uphold our word, we will be condemned by the people of this nation!”

Jeff snickered and retorted, “Fine, but you need to show the one million dollars first. Once you can prove you have it, I’ll definitely donate ten million to the orphanage right away!”

Not even the most extreme measures would convince Jeff that Charlie could come up with one million dollars. He believed that the one hundred thousand dollars Charlie had used to pay for dinner was likely all he had saved over several years.

At that moment, Charlie pulled out his old wallet and examined the two checks Paul had given him.

Being meticulous, he checked to confirm that he was indeed holding the check for one million dollars before retrieving it from his wallet.

Once he had the check in hand, Charlie handed it directly to Mrs. Lewis, saying, “Mrs. Lewis, here is a cash check for one million dollars. You can take it to the bank whenever you like to cash it. Please accept it.” Original content can be found at FindN0vel.net

Jeff smirked, curling his lips as he scoffed, “You’re just waving around a piece of torn paper and claiming it’s a cash check for one million dollars? Are you serious?”

Charlie replied with a smile, “You don’t believe me? Why not take a look at the cash check yourself?”

Jeff sneered, “Of course I don’t believe you. I used to play Monopoly when I was a kid. I know that each bill in Monopoly is worth millions too. Should I just use Monopoly money to donate to the orphanage? Besides, I’m not a banker; how would I even verify a check’s authenticity?”

Charlie shook his head, smiling helplessly. “Since you insist on doubting until the bitter end, I will grant your wish.”

With that, Charlie took out his phone and dialed Paul.

When Paul answered, he greeted respectfully, “Master Wade.”

Charlie smiled and said, “Paul, I’m sorry to bother you, but I need your help with something.”

Paul quickly replied, “Master Wade, just let me know what you need.”

Charlie continued, “I seem to have misplaced the one million dollar cash check you gave me. I might not be able to cash it, so could you transfer the one million directly to me? I’ll return the cash check to you once I find it.”

Paul responded with a smile, “Of course! Just give me your bank account number, and I’ll transfer it to you right away. You don’t have to worry about returning the check once you find it!”

Charlie said, “You can use the bank account number for donations to the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute and transfer the one million dollars directly to that account.”

Paul asked in surprise, “Master Wade, are you really going to donate the money to the orphanage?”

“Yes,” Charlie replied casually. “I grew up in that orphanage.”

Paul immediately said, “I understand! Don’t worry, Master Wade. I’ll transfer the money to the orphanage right now. In fact, I’ll send two million dollars. The extra million is just a small gesture from me!”
