214: Chapter 214: Donate Fifty Million!
“No more mischief!”
Charlotte Stone said coldly, then said to the staff, “Start over!”
“Yes, Sister Charlotte!”
The staff mber complied and began shooting again.
Charlotte’s sweet deanor returned as she approached the children, “My little friends, I’m your good friend.
Let’s play a ga together, shall we?”
“Okay!”
The children’s faces showed no smiles, but they cooperated and gathered around.
Soon, Charlotte began playing gas with the kids.
They played eagle catches the chicks, jumping elastic bands, and drawing.
Throughout the gas, Charlotte maintained a sweet smile with no sign of impatience on her face.
Even when, during the drawing process, a child’s paint got on her clothing, she didn’t get angry.
Unable to bear watching this woman’s pretentious and hypocritical behavior, Lionel Yeager simply took out his mobile phone and began playing with it.
Nancy Maddox was unfazed, as she’s the president of a company and has seen all kinds of people and events.
She’s seen many such showy activities.
Half an hour later, the gas ended.
“Co on, kids, let’s take a group photo!”
Charlotte beckoned the children to line up in several rows.
Then, she signaled to a staff mber.
The staff mber nodded and opened a suitcase.
Inside the suitcase were stacks of hundred-dollar bills.
Several staff mbers quickly distributed the money, each child receiving a stack.
After the money was handed out, a staff mber brought over a foam board that read, “Fireworks Live Broadcasting Co., Ltd.’s Miss Charlotte Stone donates 500,000 dollars to Sunshine Welfare Institute.”
Seeing this, Lionel Yeager teased, “Oh, 500,000 dollars, she’s really willing to donate such an amount.
I thought this Internet celebrity woman wouldn’t part with a single cent.”
Nancy’s face darkened when she saw the company’s na.
Quickly, Charlotte and Mr.
Lee stood on either side, holding the foam board in the front.
Other welfare ho staff and the children stood in the back, taking a group photo.
After the photo, the smile disappeared from Charlotte’s face as she ordered, “Hurry up and collect the money!”
The staff mbers complied, quickly taking back the money from the children’s hands.
Seeing this, Lionel’s face darkened, “What are you doing?”
Nancy was also puzzled.
After putting the money back in the suitcase, Charlotte took out a few bills, pulling five from the stack and threw them at Nash Lee’s feet, “Take this 500 dollars, consider it my donation to you.”
“Thank you, Miss Stone.”
Nash Lee thanked her with a smile, bending down to pick up the money.
She had encountered such situations before.
So people ca to do charity events in the past, saying they’d donate money, but after the event was over, they didn’t donate a single cent.
“Let’s go.”
With a wave of her hand, Charlotte prepared to leave with the staff.
“Stop!”
A cold shout ca from behind.
“What now?”
Charlotte turned around impatiently.
Lionel and Nancy stepped forward.
“Miss, what do you an by all this?”
Lionel tried to suppress his anger, asking in a deep voice.
“What do I an?”
Charlotte inquired back with a puzzled face.
Lionel pointed to the money in Nash Lee’s hand, saying coldly, “Didn’t you just say you were donating 500,000 dollars?
Why has it suddenly beco 500?”
Charlotte crossed her arms, scoffing, “Who said I was going to donate 500,000 dollars?
This is just an act, don’t you understand?
Can’t you tell it’s not real?”
Her staff mbers laughed sardonically.
Lionel stared coldly at Charlotte, saying, “If you had said from the beginning that you wouldn’t donate, that would be fine, as donations are voluntary, and nobody would force you.
But you ca here to put on a show, acting so impatient and making Mr.
Lee and the children go through all this trouble, shouldn’t you at least show so appreciation?
Moreover, it was clearly written on the sign you brought that you were donating 500,000 dollars.
How did it end up being just 500?
Did a dog eat your conscience?”
Charlotte’s face turned gloomy, and she questioned him, “Are you a staff mber here?”
“No.”
Lionel shook his head.
Charlotte pointed at Lionel, accusingly, “Since you’re not, what right do you have to speak so?
How dare you say I’m shaless, who are you?
I still donated 500 dollars, and you?
Did you donate?”
Lionel declared, “I can donate right now!”
Charlotte mocked, “Co on, donate then, let’s see how much you can give!
No matter how much you donate, I’ll give ten tis that amount!”
Indeed, because of Lionel’s ordinary appearance, she thought he didn’t have much money, and even if he donated, it would only be a few hundred or a thousand dollars.
“Ten tis?
That’s what you said!”
Lionel narrowed his eyes, then directly took out a check and a pen, writing down a series of numbers, loudly stating, “I’ll donate fifty million!”
As a result, due to Lionel being East Beauty Pharmaceuticals’ second-largest shareholder, Julia Stewart had given him a stack of checks.
Originally, the checks were linked to the company’s account, but Lionel had changed it to his own account at the bank.
He never thought he would need to use checks since others usually transferred money to him.
But today, to slap this woman’s face, he used a check.
Moreover, he had originally planned to donate more money, but worried that donating too much might cause unnecessary trouble for Mr.
Lee, so he decided to donate fifty million first.
As soon as these words ca out,
Everyone present was suddenly shocked.
“Holy crap!
Fifty million?!”
“To donate fifty million right off the bat, is this a mistake?!”
“This kid is dressed so modestly, can he actually co up with fifty million?!”
The staff mbers exclaid in shock.
Charlotte was stunned too!
She didn’t expect Lionel to donate fifty million right away!
Lionel grinned and said, “Miss Charlotte, didn’t you say that no matter how much I donate, you’ll give ten tis that amount?
Fifty million tis ten is 500 million.
Cough up the money!”
“You…
”
Charlotte glared at Lionel and mocked, “Who knows if your check is real or fake!”
“Surely soone here recognizes East Beauty Pharmaceuticals’ company seal?”
Lionel held up the check and asked.
“I recognize it.”
A staff mber ca over, carefully inspected the check, and suddenly turned pale.
He turned back to Charlotte and said, “Sister Charlotte, this check is real, and the seal is genuine.
It indeed says fifty million on it!”
“What?!
It’s real?!”
Charlotte’s mouth twitched, she took a deep breath and said, “You’re f***ing crazy, who can donate so much money at once?
Get out of the way and move!”
With that, she prepared to leave with her entourage.
“Who said you could leave?”
Lionel stood in Charlotte’s way.
