Chapter 951 Jamie Gets Duped
Jamie’s eyes lit up as he grabbed the sandwich and then took a big bite. He chewed his food in satisfaction while complimenting the little one. “My godson treats me best. He is the only one who would lend me a helping hand. No wonder I love you so much.”
“You’re welcome, Godfather.” Irvin squinted his eyes into slits as he giggled. “That’s one million by the way. You can transfer it into my bank account.”
Pfft— The food Jamie just ate was spat right out. “One million! Why don’t you go and rob a bank?”
While he spoke, he put away the sandwich. “I’m returning this!” His saliva was all over it, so Irvin would definitely not take it back. It would still be his in the end.
“You’ve taken a bite. It’s non-returnable,” Irvin replied. “That’s not my problem then. I won’t give you the money anyway. If you don’t want the sandwich anymore, I can take care of it for you.” Jamie began acting like a shameless thug.
Irvin unhurriedly changed his expression and started reenacting Jamie’s drunken state. “Narissa, where are you? Narissa, I miss you so much. Na—”
“Irvin, you went back on your words!” Jamie was so pissed that his face turned red. “I’ve already bought that video. How could you use that to threaten me?!”
“It was you who shamelessly tried to trick a child,” Irvin argued.
“I—” Jamie was at a loss for words, so he could only admit defeat. “Fine. I’ll give you the money, alright? I must have owed you a lot during my previous life!”
After transferring the money, he angrily took a bite out of the same sandwich.
He then complained while eating, “One million of one sandwich. What a profiteer. You’re a deceitful businessman!”
“You should be grateful.” Alexander explained flatly, “He could have stolen the money from you, but he gave you a sandwich in exchange for the money.”
“What are you talking about?” Jamie asked with a mouthful of food.
“Irvin has started some kind of research that requires a lot of money. He just asked me and his dad to sponsor him, but we told him to rely on himself to find funds and then you appeared.” Not bearing to see Jamie getting duped, Elise explained the situation out of kindness.
It was then that Jamie realized he had been tricked and turned around to find that Irvin had already disappeared. He slapped his thigh in frustration. “Me and my bad luck!”
Irvin was Alexander’s son, yet Irvin was using his money for research. Where on earth was the logic in this?
He felt like his middle name was Dupe. Jamie Dupe Keller.
…
Camren knew Rebecca had arrived in Wegas and immediately booked a table at Hotel Wegas to hold a welcoming meal for her.
He put on a new custom-made suit and specially tied a bowtie in advance before finally heading to Hotel Wegas. In addition, he was now holding a sparkling walking stick, which he had ordered someone to polish.
When the door to the private room was opened, he immediately rose to his feet and greeted, “Becky, you came.”
Camren had been calling Rebecca “Becky” for many years.
“Stop calling me that. Don’t you feel embarrassed when calling me that? Because I do.” Rebecca’s expression was dark as storm clouds.
With several waiters and waitresses looking at them, Camren felt embarrassed, and the atmosphere inside the private room turned awkward.
“Let’s sit down,” Ariel spoke up to ease the mood.
The family of three sat down at the table, with Rebecca sitting in the middle.
The dishes were soon served. Camren had specially ordered Cittadelian dishes for them, and every dish looked scrumptious.
“Becky, this is the honey-glazed carrots you used to love. I even hired a chef of Cittadel nationality to make it. Here, try some.” Camren then served Rebecca some of the honey-glazed carrots.
