I'm A Quadrillionaire novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137
After Ken said that, the room was silent.
Everyone was staring at David in shock and their faces were filled with disbelief.
They would never believe that it was David who gave Ken the money to get through this crisis.
And it was as much as 100 million?
They had a bit of money because they were relying on Ken these past years.
The ones who were smarter would have net worth’s of three to five million while the ones not as smart would have one to two million.
However, 100 million was an astronomical number to them.
Did Ken even have a net worth of 100 million?
Probably not
They knew about Ken being scammed by his business partner and they were thinking of ways to help him. After all, if Ken collapsed, their lives would be miserable too. They would prosper together and fall from grace together.
However, this handsome and polite university student named David in front of them could take out 100 million to help ken?
How old was he?
He looked like he was about 21 or 22 years old.
He was so young and already had 100 million dollars on hand. It was impossible that he himself made this money, so it had to be from his family.
His family could take out 100 million randomly for their child and they did not even ask him what he wanted to do with it. How much money did this family have?
Was this the small family business David mentioned?
If that was a small business, then what about theirs? Scraps?
The people who were mocking David sarcastically in the afternoon blushed. They felt embarrassed.
They were even worried that their profits would be reduced if David became a live-in son-in-law of the Smiths.
How hilarious.
Would a kid from such a rich family become a live-in son-in-law?
Plus, wouldn’t relatives like them benefit from the Smiths marrying into a super aristocratic family like this?
Perhaps one day, they might have tens of millions while relying on David and Tara.
At that moment, everyone was looking at David differently.
It had changed from disdain and sarcasm to pandering.
This was the power of money.
Right now, to them, David had changed from a pauper who wanted to rely on the Smiths to someone the
entire Smith family wanted to rely on.
His position had shifted.
At this moment, David said pretentiously, “Mr. Smith, you don’t have to be so courteous. Tara and I are good friends and 100 million is nothing to me.”
Everyone in the room was numb.
Only a super-rich kid like David could make 100 million sounds like 10 thousand.
“The 100 million dollars might mean nothing to you, but it’s very meaningful to the Smiths. Without it, we’d have been finished. Everyone here should be grateful to you.”
Ken scanned everyone in the room as he said that.
He saw how everyone treated David today. The reason he did not say anything was to see how these people would react when he told them the truth.
How dare they look down on David?
They should go back and think whether they could sit here and eat so happily if David did not help them.
They should all go home and cry!
“Yeah, thank you for saving all of us, Mr. Lidell. This toast is for you. I’ll drink now and you can take your time,” Tara’s Aunt Mary quickly stood up and said to David while raising her glass.
