Mrs. LeClair swiftly signed wherever she needed to. There were three copies of each charity event proposal; one for each man, one for Mrs. LeClair and one for the Haddock Group for filing purposes.
Sienna glanced at the crowd and announced, “Congratulations on setting up two generous charity programs, Mrs. LeClair. I’d also like to congratulate these two gentlemen for receiving the help they needed. To whomever else in need of help, please don’t hesitate to make yourselves heard! The lovely women here will surely try their best to assist you.”
Everyone began to clap.
Mrs. LeClair proudly returned to her seat while holding her documents.
One million...
That was way too easy!
Those two guys earned a million just by opening their mouths?
Many young men instantly began to make themselves look miserable.
Some poured tea for the older women, and some brought them drinks or desserts.
They tried their best to please the wealthy ladies.
Ashlyn spent the entire afternoon hearing countless stories of how helpless these men were.
Both my parents have cancer; my sister got into a car accident; my brother has turned into a vegetable... and so on— all these accounts caused the women to be filled with tears.
They quickly donated another million and obtained their charity proposals.
Another story went as such: “I’ve been insecure since I was a child and was often bullied because of my good looks. I’m now a sophomore in high school. We’re so poor that my older sister sold herself to a bald middle-aged man to fund my studies, but she was abused by the guy right after getting pregnant until she miscarried. I want to repay my sister, so I’m begging you kind souls—please give me three million, so I can save her.”
One of the rich women instantly broke down. “I’m so sorry for your sister. I have to help her.”
The young lad immediately received a three-million donation.
Ashlyn was astounded at the speed at which these men were gaining money.
This is way too fast.
Are all these women always this brainless?
This is practically a story-telling competition now. These guys are all trying to one-up each other!
