That was, until Marie. She was auctioning off a dance.Like Elsa’s song, Marie’s dance was also sold to David at five million. This was how David was, he was the kind of person that would repay kindness others had shown him tenfold.Those two had helped his cousin Lily tonight, so it was only right that he offered a higher price to buy their performances. Soon later.The auction event was about to end.After the last item of love had been auctioned off, the banquet was about to end as well.Just then, David raised his card and spoke.“Ms. Rice, I’d like to donate a song!”Ida was about to read the closing speech when she saw David offer to donate a song.David had spent ten million at the auction today, so it would not be right to refuse him.Ida allowed David to come up on stage.“Mr. Lidell wishes to donate a song, is anyone willing to buy it?” Ida asked.“Uh… I’d like to buy it myself if that’s alright?” David asked.“You want to buy your own song?”“Yes!”“Of co
The next day, David sent Lily back to school and transferred a hundred million into her bank card. He told her to spend it as he wished, and to tell him if she needed more. He even told Lily to disclose small pieces of information to her parents when suitable.Then he drove his Bugatti Veyron back to River City.Lake City was around a thousand kilometers away from River City, so David decided to just drive there.The car was high quality, the highest quality even. Thus, it made sense to be more costly. Coupled with David’s exceptional driving skills, the Bugatti Veyron sped across the passing lane.David’s car finally arrived at River City’s roads.He gave what happened over the past two days a lot of thought.Andy was the one who helped settle both his cousin sister’s accident at Dazzling KTV and stood up for her when she was bullied during the charity banquet.He might have a boundless amount of money, but money also seemed to be all he had.He could not rely on other people
Originally, David planned to leave the issue be since it was just a small scratch, and repair fees were not a concern to him. However, he did not expect to meet such an arrogant person.‘Fine, then. I’m not going to waste energy arguing with someone like this, I’ll just call the police!’The woman’s loud voice attracted many passers-by.It was currently the labor day public holiday, so there were many cars on the road. When they saw a car collide with the rear end of a Bugatti Veyron, many people moved over to the service area to observe.“What the hell, that’s a Bugatti Veyron! That car costs at least thirty million! Even repainting must cost a few hundred thousand!”“So expensive? Since it’s a rear-end collision, the BMW will have to take full responsibility! Even if they sold their BMW, they might not even have enough to pay for the repairs!”“Sigh. I can’t afford to pay the repairs for such an expensive car. I’m going to steer clear of cars like this in the future.”“Hey, he
River City.Pearl drove the Porsche 911 back to South River International Residence after work.Before she could enter the gates of South River International Residence, she was suddenly stopped.Pearl took a close look at the people who stopped her and found her parents, her brother Sam, and three other strangers she did not recognize.‘What are they doing here?’Pearl quickly got out of the car.“Mo, Dad, Sam, what are you guys doing here?”“Hmpf! How else would we find out that you’re actually driving a nice car and living in a mansion in the big city while we work ourselves to death at home?” Pearl’s mom, Leigh, said.“Mom, it’s not what you think. This car belongs to my boss!” Pearl explained.“Your boss? Your boss lets you drive his car every day? Why you, huh? Why not anyone else?”“Mom, can we talk somewhere else? Where are you guys staying? I can get you two hotel rooms!”“I’m not going anywhere! I want to live inside! Don’t try to lie to me, your brother’s been watc
“What? Do you want me to hit you again?” Billy roared.“You can beat me to death but I will not give you a single cent.”“You... You damned girl! You’re trying to anger me and give me a heart attack, aren’t you? I don’t care, you’re going to give us the money whether you like it or not!” Billy pointed at Pearl and scolded.Tears of indignation swelled in Pearl’s eyes as she shouted back at him, “You’ve always favored him just because he’s a boy! You give him the best you can afford, while I have to make my own money to pay for my university fees. What have you done for me?“He wants to go to university, but we can’t afford it? Fine, I’ll borrow the money for him and slowly return it by saving as much as possible from what I earn. I spend as little as possible on myself. Do you know what kind of life I’ve been living? I’ve even fainted at work from malnutrition!“My work only got better afterward, and I only kept a small portion of my earnings for living expenses. I sent everything
It was already dark by the time David arrived at River City.He would have arrived way earlier had he not been held up on the road.Exhausted, he returned to the South River International Residence and opened the doors to his home.Only for him to see Pearl with reddened eyes about to leave.“Huh? Miss Pearl? What’s wrong? Are you going out?”Then he spotted the people standing behind Pearl.“Who are they?”Pearl felt her chest tighten when she saw David.‘Didn’t he go home for the holidays? Why’s he back so soon? And now of all times too.’“My apologies, Mr. Lidell. These people are my family members. They came over to visit me from home, so I thought I’d bring them here to sit down. I’ll show them out right away,” Pearl replied nervously.She was afraid that David would be angry. Anyone would be upset to know that random people had come into their four-hundred-million-dollar house while they were out.“Where are you going so late at night? There are plenty of rooms here, w
A park in River City.David and Pearl were sitting by a river.Pearl told David about what she had been through for over twenty years.David listened quietly and did not speak."Mr. Lidell, aren't I stupid? I give them whatever they want! If I don't have the money, I'll just loan it from someone else and save up to pay back the loan," Pearl asked when she had finished."Miss Pearl, you're not stupid. You're just too sentimental! The more you give, the more they take it for granted," David said after pondering it."Perhaps! But I've decided to live for myself for the next few decades after I've lived the first twenty years for them!""Miss Pearl, please invite your parents to the hotel for dinner tomorrow! I should do a little something since they've come this far. If you need money, just go to the finance department and get it. No matter what decision you make, I will support you!" said David."Thank you! Mr. Lidell!" Pearl cried as she leaned into David's arms.She thought Da
The next morning.Golden Leaf Hotel chairman's office."Miss Pearl, I'm planning to set up an investment company called East League International, but I don't have time. So, I need someone I trust to help me set up my team. I hope you can help me!""Mr. Lidell, I'm scared that I'll fail!" Pearl replied hesitantly.She wanted to do it, but she was afraid that she was not capable enough and would wreck David's big plans."Miss Pearl, you're capable. You should go beyond this small hotel. You should go out and see the world.""I... I'll give it a try!""Go for it! The greatest support I can give you is unlimited financial resources. We'll hire anyone you think is capable. If someone is offering them one million dollars, we'll offer five million, or even ten million. We're not afraid to spend money as long as they're good.""Okay! When shall I start?""The sooner the better!""Then I'll start tomorrow!""Sure, call your parents over. We'll have a meal together!"After last nigh
