Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 444

Charlotte looked at Ethan. The man curled a faint smile and reached into his chest pocket for his wallet.

"How much are the medical bills?"

"Four hundred..." the teacher answered instinctively.

Hearing that, Ethan pulled out a stack of cash and casually scattered it at the couple's feet.

"You—!!" The parents almost jumped in outrage. This man was clearly humiliating them!

"You don't want to accept three thousand in compensation? Then there's nothing. If your son has any further problems, you can come to me. I'm Ethan Morrison."

And as if that weren't enough, he tossed his business card down as well.

The mother snapped. "Do you even know who we are? How dare you talk to us like this! Don't want to make it in Jayelle City anymore, huh? And Christopher—I can guarantee his chances of entering a university are ruined!"

Hearing that, Christopher panicked, instinctively glancing at Charlotte.

Charlotte, however, remained perfectly calm.

Ethan was not someone to be trifled with. Anyone who spoke to him like that would regret it. She only needed to sit back and watch him perform.

"Really? You're so powerful in Jayelle City?" Ethan asked.

"Of course! The big shots of Jayelle City are my friends—"

He didn't get to finish before Ethan interrupted him with a scoffing laugh.

Ethan turned to Christopher. "How are your grades?"

Christopher's eyes lit up. "My grades are good."

Charlotte knew he would help her. Today, everything was part real, part performance. As Christopher's older sister for so many years, she was no longer a defenseless little rabbit. If anyone bullied her brother, she wouldn't just stand there and take it.

Securing Christopher's future was important, yes, but she wasn't about to let Christopher suffer unnecessarily. The difficulty she had feigned was also to see how Ethan would react—whether he would simply watch or step in. Either way, with him by her side, the situation would never leave her untouched.

It seemed Ethan enjoyed the role of hero even more than she had imagined.

"Don't worry, I'm not extorting you. This time, I'm helping Christopher."

Ethan looked down at Christopher. The boy's eyes sparkled, as if he saw Ethan as a lifeline.

"Christopher, when you grow up, remember to repay me."

Before Charlotte could say anything, Christopher nodded eagerly. "Ethan, don't worry. A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring—this is our family's principle."

"Sounds great. Who taught you that?"
