Charity fraud was not a rare thing. In fact, many celebrities had done it in order to increase their popularity. However, it was quite embarrassing to be exposed in the end.
Charity fraud could lead to different consequences. Some celebrities donated a small amount of money, and that was not a big deal. They would only be condemned. But tonight's charity party was organized by the government to raise money and solve the official pressure.
That was why the charity ambassador was important, so if anyone committed charity fraud on this occasion, the consequence would be serious, and even Tom would be punished.
Elliot and Malcolm were very flustered since they understood this. They were on the same boat as Tom. If something happened to Tom, they would be in trouble too.
Hearing this question, Tom did not panic at all. He smiled and said calmly, "I won't do that. It's just eight billion."
The host took a meaningful look at Tom. Anyway, he had warned Tom, so if Tom still did it, he could not blame him.
He looked at Bard again and said, "Bard, it's your turn. How much do you want to donate?"
Bard glared at Tom fiercely. He didn't believe that Tom could donate eight billion. He said directly, "Hehe, even Tom donated eight billion. Of course, I won't donate less than him. I'll donate another five billion."
Counting the former 3.3 billion, Bard had donated 8.3 billion, which was almost his limit!
He didn't believe that Tom could have more money. In fact, he was in the bag now. He was sure that Tom was doing charity fraud and could never have eight billion.
Tom saw his reaction and smiled meaningfully. Eight billion was astronomical for many people, but for him, it was a little.
Besides, he wanted to do charity. Money was just a number to him, so it was better to help more people. Now that Bard was at odds with him, he was a little more interested.
Sean narrowed his eyes and stared straight at Tom. He was especially unhappy with Tom being so pretentious. In his opinion, Tom was a bastard, a disgrace to LT Organization, and should not have existed in this world. Now, not only did this bastard not live in pain, but he was really comfortable with his great life.
He snorted heavily, wanting to kill Tom more.
Tom immediately felt the murderous intent. He also narrowed his eyes and glared at Sean without flinching.
Someone could sense the tension and confrontation between them.
Soon, it was the fifth charity project. This time, it was a less important project. Everyone donated a lot less, and Tom only donated 100 million.
Bard donated 50 million.
The next few projects were not so important either. Tom donated 100 million every time as if it wasn't money but water. The more he donated, the more unreal it became. Many people, including Bard, were more convinced that Tom was throwing the handle after the blade, which meant he could "donate" as much as he wanted since this was just fraud.
So far, Tom had donated 8.63 billion, and Bard had donated 8.65 billion, just 20 million more than Tom.
This was his limit. If he continued to donate, he would not be able to take out the money. It was also a fraud.
Others all gave up. Anyway, tonight's charity ambassador could be either Tom or Bard. Most people thought it would be Bard.
Finally, it came to the last charity project. It was about rebuilding the earthquake-stricken area, which had been on the news every day. The whole country was paying attention to and worrying about this place.
The host said solemnly, "Next one is the last charity project. It is the most serious disaster area in H Country. The losses are huge. I hope that all the bosses can lend a helping hand to support the charity of our country!"
After saying that, the host even bowed to everyone, and Tom immediately felt respectful.
Tom had recently learned something about this disaster area. In fact, the charity organization he had wanted to set up was to help this disaster area as part of his effort to do something for his country.
"I'll donate 50 million!"
"I donate 60 million!"
"I'll donate 100 million!"
