He had never experienced the taste or aroma of champagne priced at nearly twenty thousand dors a bottle. Seizing this rare opportunity, he decided to indulge as much as possible.
At that moment, Jeff’s assistant, Harry, was savoring the roast suckling pig when he remarked in a t tone, “Why do I feel like I’ve be Daryl Wayne’s close buddy from The Richest Man in Zion? This scene feels just like the one in the movie where they’re feasting in a restaurant!”<fn0ea9> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? Find★Novel</fn0ea9>
As soon as he spoke, everyone nodded in agreement, chuckling as they chimed in, “Absolutely! It’s strikingly simr to that scene!”
Harry smiled and added, “This is all thanks to Brother Jeff! Thank you, Brother Jeff!”
Lisa interjected, somewhat indignantly, “Why is it only Jeff who gets the thanks? Brother Charlie is also covering half the bill for tonight’s dinner!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Harry shrugged dismissively, “I’m enjoying the half that Brother Jeff paid for, while you’re feasting on the half that Charlie has sponsored. So go ahead and thank him all you want; it doesn’t concern me.”
At this point, William, who had already made quite a mess with greasy hands, finally caught onto the conversation. Still chewing on his meat, he asked, “By the way, what are you all talking about? What is The Richest Man in Star City? I don’t get it.”
Caleb frowned and replied, “The movie The Richest Man in Star City! Tom Cruise starred in it, and it was a huge box office sess not long ago. Didn’t you catch it in theaters?”
“A theater?” William scoffed. “I don’t waste my money on those movies. Why should I pay to watch them? Those people must be crazy about cash! They should just show us the films for free! I always go online looking for shared resources so I can watch movies without spending a dime. When I get home tonight, I’m going to search for links to watch that movie.”
“That’s ridiculous!” Caleb retorted coldly. “William, don’t you think you’re taking advantage of others? People invest hundreds of millions into making these films. Plus, directors, crew, and actors work incredibly hard for a long time to produce them. If they gave their movies away for free just because of people like you, wouldn’t that lead to losses for the film industry?”
When William heard Caleb’s reprimand, he responded with disdain, “You don’t need to lecture me. I enjoy taking advantage whenever I can and I don’t believe in spending money unnecessarily. What’s wrong with that? I’m even going to go online and criticize them for their poor filming, awful acting, and slow production! What can you do about it? You’re just being nosy.”
Caleb shot back angrily, “You still have the nerve to criticize others after taking advantage of them? That’s just shameless! Don’t you fear any consequences for saying that?”
William curled his lip and said, “Consequences? What consequences? I’m an orphan, so what do I have to fear? Am I worried about my parents suffering because of me?”
Caleb was left speechless, unable to respond. It was clear that arguing with someone so shameless was futile.
Charlie sighed as he observed the exchange. While some individualse from humble beginnings and work hard to improve their lives, others end up as sad figures at the bottom of society.
William’s situation wasn’t entirely without reason. He showed no respect for anyone, including himself, focusing solely on how to exploit others. People like him often face difficulties in life.
After enjoying thisvish meal, William would surely try to ingratiate himself with Jeff, who would likely take full advantage of him in return.
By then, William would probably have no tears left to shed.
However, Charlie didn’t want to help him. The issue was that William didn’t recognize what was good or bad for him, nor did he understand his own strengths and weaknesses.
Charlie was genuinely curious to see how things would unfold for William in the end!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
