    Jeff addressed Mrs. Lewis, saying, “Please don’t get involved, Mrs. Lewis. This is a matter between Charlie and me. Regardless of today’s oue, the real winner will be the orphanage. My car can be resold for about four hundred thousand dors, while Charlie’s is valued a bit less, around two or three hundred thousand. That money can be used to enhance the facilities and purchase supplies for the kids at the orphanage.”


    With a warm smile, Charlie reassured her, “Mrs. Lewis, there’s no need to worry about us. Jeff and I will take care of this ourselves.”


    Deep down, Mrs. Lewis was concerned that Charlie might end up on the losing side. Yet, seeing the confident smile on Charlie’s face made her think that things might not be as straightforward as she believed.


    During her treatment in Eastcliff, she had noticed some odd and intriguing urrences.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    First, she observed that the hospital staff treated her with an unusual amount of respect and courtesy, almost as if she were a VIP.


    While receiving care, a well-known celebrity visited Fairview Hospital to see her attending doctor. To her surprise, the doctor’s demeanor toward the celebrity was noticeably less warm than how he had treated her.


    Mrs. Lewis couldn’t help but ponder why she was receiving such special treatment. After all, she was just an ordinary employee of an orphanage, visiting Eastcliff for the first time, without any connections or influential background. What was the reason behind this preferential treatment?


    The second puzzling moment happened while she was on the operating table, under anesthesia. Just before losing consciousness, she overheard a conversation between her doctor and an assistant.


    Amidst her haze, she caught the doctor mentioning that she was the young master’s benefactor, which meant they had to be particrly careful during her procedure.


    She had no idea who this ‘young master’ was. Perhaps she had misheard them in her dazed state.


    Yet, every time she thought about it, Charlie’s face appeared in her mind.


    She couldn’t quite exin why, but she felt there was more to Charlie than met the eye.<fnfe45> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? findnovel</fnfe45>


    After all, he had settled her medical bills, which amounted to millions. How had he managed that? Where had he found such arge sum of money in such a short time?


    Though she couldn’tprehend how or why it happened, it left her in awe.


    When she saw Charlie again today, it was evident that he had undergone significant changes. The most noticeable difference was his newfound confidence!


    This transformation made Mrs. Lewis feel genuinely happy. She had always wished for Charlie to gain self-assurance, and while he had struggled in the past, it seemed he had finally ovee that hurdle and grown into a more self-assured young man.


    With that thought, she nodded, deciding not to interfere in the bet between Charlie and Jeff.


    With a smug grin, Jeff proposed, “To make it fair, let’s have five people in each of our cars, including Mrs. Lewis, to witness the bet in case someone fails to keep their promise!”


    Charlie agreed, saying, “Sounds good! Mrs. Lewis, Lisa, and Caleb will ride in my car.”


    “Alright!” Jeffughed. “My friends will be in my car!”
