After leaving William’s dormitory, Jeff couldn’t shake off a twinge of guilt towards him.


    Though individuals like William could be incredibly unpleasant, there was a certain pity that apanied it.


    William was an orphan, having lost both parents. Despite years of hard work, he had achieved little in life. To make matters worse, he had ended up with a girlfriend who turned out to be nothing more than a cunning woman.


    How would William react if he discovered that while he was being scolded and cursed at by her over a phone call, she was actually being intimate with another man?


    To add to his troubles, William had just entrusted all of his assets to Jeff.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He had even taken out a loan exceeding five hundred thousand dors from ruthless loan sharks.


    In just a week, William would need to repay at least one million dors for his loans.


    Within a month, that debt could balloon to several million dors.


    When that time arrived, he would undoubtedly find himself in a desperate situation with no escape, right?


    Yet, Jeff was also facing his own challenges and couldn’t ensure his own safety at this moment.


    There seemed to be no viable options left. If it came down to survival, he found himself hoping that the other would be the one to perish.


    Moreover, he hadn’t even managed to reach solid ground yet.<fn589e> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find·novel</fn589e>


    To get ashore, he would need to gather a few hundred thousand more dors.


    As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Jeff’s sympathy for William faded.


    He realized he couldn’t afford to concern himself with William any longer; his own survival had toe first.


    Meanwhile, at the dining table in the Hyatt Hotel, Jeff had be the target of everyone’s disdain.


    Even those who were once his loyal followers began to turn against him, one by one.


    As they looked down on Jeff, a sense of admiration for Charlie began to grow among them.


    After all, Charlie could effortlessly donate one million dors to the orphanage. It was clear to everyone that Charlie must have far more than just that amount at his disposal.


    They realized how seriously they had underestimated Charlie in the past.


    While they continued to shower him withpliments, offering toast after toast, some even went so far as to grovel in an attempt to win Charlie’s favor.


    Though Charlie wasn’t arrogant, he didn’te across as overly humble either. His calm andposed demeanor exuded an air of mystery that captivated everyone around him.


    Once everyone had finished their toasts with Charlie, Caleb raised his ss of wine and said earnestly, “Charlie, thank you for all that you’ve done for this orphanage. I would like to dedicate this toast to you!”


    Charlie met his gaze and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
