Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2290
The moment Joan’s words came out, the man instantly doubled over with laughter.
“Say, are you really that slow-witted or merely faking it? What the host meant earlier was that you’ve got to donate money since you’re a tourist!”
Oh, so that’s what happening here. Donating should be a voluntary choice. Why are they blatantly coercing me to do so? Ah, never mind. I’ll just donate to avoid further trouble!
Thus, Joan took out her purse at once and gave the host all the money she had left.
However, the host was abruptly irked.
“Don’t you think this is too little? You’ve got to donate at least a thousand or so,” the host chided tersely.
Even so, I’ve already donated all the money I have on me!
“I’m sorry, but… that’s all I have on me,” Joan explained in mortification.
“Ah, you’ve got no more money? Ask me for some, then. The amount you donated didn’t even meet the minimum standard,” the man beside her scoffed.
What? There’s even a standard? At that, Joan’s eyes promptly darkened. They aren’t soliciting donations at all! This is blatant blackmail!
“Let’s go. Come with me, and I’ll donate on your behalf.” The man then dragged her down the stage.
“Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me! I don’t need your help!” Joan struggled wildly.
“Don’t be shy. This is no big deal because it’s entirely normal here.”
Argh! This is not a matter of being shy or otherwise! Damn it, why is he so strong?
“Ahh!” the man screamed all of a sudden. Joan had clamped her teeth hard on him.
“Haha, you’ve been bitten by a woman!”
“How useless of you to be bitten by a woman! Hah! You’re just going to be bossed around all your life!”
Everyone around them mocked and derided the man. Enraged, the man crouched and threw Joan over his shoulder before striding away.
“Ahh! Let go of me! Help!” Joan shrieked.
“How dare you bite and rebuke me?” The man slapped her butt forcefully.
