Chapter 421

“Who is this?” Mr. Johnston looked at David and asked.

He did not remember David.

As the principal of Shu City High, he would be able to remember Celia, the first leading light in the province in Shu City High’s history.

David was admitted to the top ten universities in Somerland too. Although it was also a great achievement, there were a lot of students who had been admitted to those universities over the years. He might have remembered it at the time, but he would not be able to remember it after some time had passed

“Sir, this is also a student in Celia’s class. His name is David Lidell and he was admitted to South River University,” Giselle introduced.

“Oh? South River University? That’s not bad either. You also brought honor to the school. I should thank you too, David.”

“Mr. Johnston, you’re too courteous. I should thank the school for nurturing me,” David said. “Since the two of you are back, you two should gather the seniors and tell them about your learning experience when you were in high school and also your university life. What do you think? Motivate them so they can work hard.”

“Um… Alright!” David hesitated before agreeing.

This was his alma mater after all.

He should help out as much as he could.

“Then it’s settled, Ms. Hans. After the class in the afternoon, please notify each class and ask them to gather in the assembly hall,” Mr. Johnston said to Giselle.

“Alright, Sir. I will,” Giselle replied respectfully.

“It’s settled then. I won’t interrupt you guys reminiscing the past any more,” Mr. Johnston said before leaving.

“Sir, please watch your step.”

After Mr. Johnston left, David and Ms. Hans chatted a lot.

David liked to chat as though they were all equals, as everyone could say whatever came to mind.

He missed the old days.

Although those days were difficult, they were full of joy.

That was why he did not like to reveal his identity.

Once exposed, the principal and teachers probably would not chat with him like this.

Just like Celia’s mother.

After class in the afternoon, Giselle notified all the classes.

She asked the teacher who was in class to bring all the students to the assembly hall because the principal had something to announce.

Soon, students from more than ten classes were sitting neatly in the assembly hall of Shu City High.

Mr. Johnston was the first to speak.

“Students, I know that everyone is very dissatisfied and unhappy that the school’s additional classes are taking up your holiday, but I want to ask you something. If you don’t put in the effort, how will you reap the rewards?

“Today we invited two of your seniors who are students who graduated from Shu City High three years ago. I’ve asked them to talk about their learning experience and life in university. By the way, one of them was the leading light from the province for the college entrance examination and she been admitted to Greenwood University, one of the top ten universities i n Somerland, and the other was also admitted to South River University, another top ten university in Somerland.

“Let us welcome Celia Young and David Lidell, who brought won glory to Shu City High.” After Mr. Johnston finished his speech, Celia and David came out from backstage.

Chapter 422

As soon as the two of them went on stage, there was a lot of discussion below.

“Aren’t those two the ones on the field this morning? I was wondering why they looked familiar, it seems that they’re the seniors on the honor roll.”

“Wow, Celia is so beautiful. She is even more beautiful than her photo on the honor roll. She’s good at her studies too, so she is really a perfect goddess.”

“David is also so handsome. His grades are not bad too so the two of them are like a perfect match standing together. What a match made in heaven!”

“Yeah, I envy them!”

Mr. Johnston handed the microphone to Celia.

Celia took the microphone and said, “Hello, everyone, my name is Celia Young. I was admitted to

Greenwood University from Shu City High three years ago.”

Next, Celia began to talk about some of her experiences of learning and her university life. She was describing it so vividly that the juniors who were sitting below the stage were all yearning for it.

Mr. Johnston nodded secretly as he watched Celia.

Celia was worth her title of being the leading light in the province for the college entrance examination. What she said was well-founded, and she was making the students yearn to experience university life.

This was what he intended.

Motivate the students so that they would work harder to face the difficult upcoming year of year in high school.

This would be a crossroads where they would decide their destiny.

Although a university degree would not 100% qualitatively determine the level of achievement in the second half of a person’s life, if one got admitted to a good university, they would have more choices in the future.

After Celia finished speaking, she handed the microphone to David.

“Hello everyone, my name is David Lidell. I was admitted to South River University from Shu City High three years ago. As for my study experience and university life, Celia has basically told everyone about it. Her grades are better than mine so she has more right to speak, therefore I will not talk about it anymore.

“Today, I will directly tell you some practical things. Shu City is a small county and the per capita income is not high. Since my family was impoverished, I worked part-time when I was i

n high school. In order to ensure the students here will not worry about tuition and living expenses anymore, I’m going to set up a scholarship fund at the school.

“The beneficiaries of this fund will be all the students studying in Shu City High while the scholarship fund will support students in two situations.

“First, it will cover the students whose families are really poor. Once they are verified by the school, they can get funding via the scholarship fund whereby all tuition and living expenses will be exempted. “Second, students with good academic performance will also receive a scholarship. If you are both a poor student and have good grades, then you can not only waive all fees but you will also receive a generous scholarship to subsidize your family.

“Thus, everyone should study with no worries. That’s all I have to say, thank you, everyone.” After David finished speaking, the entire assembly hall fell silent.

Not only the students were shocked, but even the teachers and principal had their jaws on the floor.

They were even suspicious of whether David was telling the truth.

After all, he had been a high school student from an impoverished family, and now, he had not even graduated from university yet.

Once this fund was established, he would need a lot of money to maintain it every year.

He was just a student who had not yet graduated from university, so how could he take out so much money?

Right now, even the principal had no idea how to respond to his statement.

There were about 1000 students at the scene right now.

David had already said this, and if he could not do it, then it would be very embarrassing.

Mr. Johnston was looking at David with a little annoyance. He was blaming David for not discussing such a huge thing with him beforehand.

The most important factor was that he had no idea whether or not David had the ability to do as he said.

Chapter 423

Mr. Johnston did not know what to say when he took the microphone.

He did not dare to say anything about the scholarship fund David mentioned.

If David could not follow through with it then it would be very troublesome.

David could walk away, but he was the principal of Shu City High and he would be the one who would bear the infamy if he went back on his word.

At this time, Giselle, who was below the stage, also had a dull look on her face. At this moment, she was also very anxious.

As David’s homeroom teacher for three years, she knew all aspects of David’s family very well. David had just promised this in front of more than 1000 students who were about to be seniors. With her understanding of David, such a feat was simply impossible.

Although they had not seen each other for three years, what could a poor university student achieve in three years? He would just be working during the holidays, so how much money could he earn? David would need a lot of money to execute what he just said. He might even need millions for a single year.

However, David had announced this in front of more than 1000 students and teachers. She had no idea how to resolve this matter. She could only hope that the principal would be able to smooth things over.

“That’s all for today. The teachers of each class, please take the students out in an orderly manner,” Mr.

Johnston said.

He hoped that the meeting would be dismissed quickly so he quickly glossed over the matter. However, even if he wanted to leave this meeting, the students below did not want to. Some students started to ask questions.

This was regarding their self-interest.

What David said was not very clear so, of course, they wanted to know more about it.

“Sir, is what David just said true? What is the school’s metric for determining poor students? How is the scholarship assessed?” Asked one of the students sitting below the stage.

The moment he finished asking this, another student also asked out loud, “Sir, when will this scholarship fund begin to support everyone? We are about to be seniors and we only have one year to stay at Shu City High. Do we still have the chance to obtain this scholarship?”

“Yeah, when will it start?”

“Can we even get this money?”

The students below the stage started to ask.

The whole assembly hall soon became noisy.

“Um… Students, the scholarship fund involves a lot of parties, so the school still needs to discuss this with David. Once we come up with a complete plan, we will inform everyone. As for the exact timing, I am not too yet,” said Mr. Johnston.

He had no choice.

He could only delay this matter that had not even been established yet.

He was wondering whether David was dropped on the head when he was born.

How could he say such a thing so casually?

So many students heard it.

When school started the next semester, the whole school would know about it.

What would he do then?

“Sir, are you taking us for fools? If you can’t confirm it within one year, then we won’t be able to get the money next year!”

“Yeah! David, come to say a few words. Is this scholarship fund reliable?”

At this moment, David took Mr. Johnston’s microphone and said, “Don’t worry, everyone. This fund is definitely reliable. As for the proposal, it’ll be out tomorrow. This will be executed next semester so I hope everyone will study hard.” “Thank you, David!”

“David, you’re so amazing!”

“David, you’re so handsome!”

“David, I love you!”

Loud cheers erupted from the assembly hall.

A lot of the students here were impoverished, after all.

Chapter 424

To be able to go to school without paying money and get a scholarship to subsidize one’s family if they had good enough grades was an amazing thing.

“Okay, everyone, dismissed. Teachers, please maintain order, and students, please line up to leave. Don’t squeeze!”

After half an hour.

David, Celia, Giselle, and Mr. Johnston were sitting in the conference room of Shu City High. Since they were having extra classes during the holidays, the school leaders at Shu City High were working on a rotation basis, and today was Mr. Johnston’s turn.

Mr. Johnston looked depressed now.

He should just let them go around and visit the campus, why did he get prompted by a sudden impulse to ask them to speak?

Was he not shooting himself in the foot?

If he did not handle this matter well, it would affect the reputation of the school.

Shu City High was now well-known both in the city and the province.

Once the students at the school spread this information and they failed to follow through oni t, he as the principal would be the one to blame when the higher-ups started looking into the matter.

If the impact was too great, he, the principal, might be forced into an early retirement.

“David, what are you going to do about this scholarship fund?” Mr. Johnston asked.

David looked at the depressed look on Mr. Johnston’s face and then at the worried expression o n Ms. Hans’s face. “Mr. Johnston, Ms. Hans, I know you don’t believe me, and I am going to apologize for not discussing this with you beforehand. To be frank, I also got the idea at the last minute.

“I started my business when I was in college and then I slowly accumulated some wealth. Now, I can fully support this scholarship fund so you can rest assured.

“If you don’t believe me, you should believe Celia, right?

“Celia, tell them,” David turned his head to say to Celia.

“Mr. Johnston, Ms.Hans, David has the money,” Celia said seriously.

Mr. Johnston and Giselle looked at each other and nodded slightly.

They might not believe David, but they still believed everything that Celia said.

After all, she was the leading light in the province.

Also, she was always well-founded and logical when she spoke, unlike David who appeared to have been dropped on the head.

If that was the case, was David loaded now?

How incredible!

It had only been three years and David had reached this stage.

That kid had not yet graduated, right?

What a monster!

Mr. Johnston said, “Um, David, are you serious about establishing that scholarship fund?”

“Of course, not only will I establish a scholarship fund, but I am also going to donate some money to the school for renovations so you can improve the facilities,” David said.

“I-It’ll be such an inconvenience to you.”

“Sir, Shu City High is my alma mater and I also hope that it’ll become better. I’ll hand the matter of the scholarship fund to the school. However, I hope that it will be run practically and honestly.”

“Of course! As the principal of Shu City High, I promise you that the money from the fund will end up in the pockets of every impoverished student,” Mr. Johnston promised.

“That’s good. I’m not worried about your character, Sir. If I was, I wouldn’t do this. Also, I’m going to donate 100 million to the school. It’s not just to renovate the school, it’s also a benefit to the teachers who had worked so hard for the school. As for how it’s going to be distributed, I’ll leave it to the school to decide. I won’t involve myself in it.”

Chapter 425

After David finished speaking, Both Mr. Johnston and Giselle looked at him with wide eyes.

The two of them wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.

Did David just say that he would donate 100 million to the school?

How could it be?

Did they mishear or did David misspeak?

They needed to clarify this.

“So… Um, David, you… How much did you say you’re going to donate?” Mr. Johnston asked with a stammer.

“100 million,” David replied calmly.

“100 m-million?” Mr. Johnston exclaimed loudly. In a bottom-tier poverty-stricken city like Shu City, 100 million was an astronomical figure. Buying a house here only cost about 300 thousand to 400 thousand. How many houses would 100 million buy?

300?

David actually said that he would donate 100 million to the school?

This hit him too hard.

Giselle was completely numb on the side.

She could not understand this former student of hers at all.

This student in her class three years ago was delivering food every day during his break time. However, after going to university, three years later he claimed that he would donate 100 million to the school? Who would believe this?

He dared to say that he would donate 100 million.

Would he do that if he did not have at least tens of billions?

However, how did David achieve it?

It was just three years!

How did he transform from a poor student to a wealthy man with assets worth tens of billions?

She could not believe this.

She felt that this had defied her imagination.

However, she genuinely hoped that David had this ability.

“D-David, are you sure?” Mr. Johnston asked.

“Of course!”

“Well… David, can you tell me what’s the name of your company? Please don’t misunderstand, I’m not doubting you, I just want to…”

Before Mr. Johnston could finish, David interrupted him.

“Mr. Johnston, I understand. After all, I was still an impoverished student at Shu City High three years ago. I was working part-time every day and other people wouldn’t believe me either. So, I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. My company is called East League Capitals. You can look it up online.” Mr. Johnston was just a normal principal from a high school in a bottom-tier small city while Giselle was just a teacher.

They did not know much about the business world. Thus, they did not know that only companies worth more than one trillion could be called ‘capitals’.

East League Capitals?

Mr. Johnston felt that this name sounded familiar, and he seemed to have heard it from somewhere before. However, he could not recall where.

He opened his laptop and searched East League Capitals online.

Giselle was also curious, so she moved over to have a look at the screen.

Soon, the search result appeared.

The expression on their faces became increasingly curious.

After they read all the information about East League Capitals, they were so shocked they could not utter a single word. Mr. Johnston’s hand that closed the laptop was slightly shaking.

Chapter 426

He remembered now.

It turned out that some time ago, East League Capitals invested 100 billion to build schools in impoverished areas across the country.

As a person who had dedicated his life to education, he had naturally been very interested in this matter.

However, the heat of that incident had passed and it had been a long time since then, so he could not remember it.

This was the same East League Capitals!

A company that was estimated to be worth over trillions.

Such a big company was actually controlled by the young man in his twenties in front of him.

He was also a former student of Shu City High.

Both Mr. Johnston and Giselle felt like they were in a dream when both the corporate representative and chairman of East League Capitals were named David Lidell.

David could donate 100 billion easily.

Hence, it seemed completely reasonable for him to donate 100 million to his former alma mater.

“How is it? Mr. Johnston, do you believe me now?” David asked with a smile.

“D-David, you’re hilarious. I didn’t expect you to have such an achievement in three years. I can’t find any adjectives to describe you,” Mr. Johnston said, a wry smile on his face.

“Mr. Johnston, you speak too highly of me. Since you believe me, let’s talk about the related matters. I will be returning to River City in a few days,” David. said.

“Alright, sure. We shall discuss this carefully.”

After the scholarship fund and the donation to the school were finalized, Mr. Johnston also called in the staff who were responsible for the finance of the school as well as all the school leaders.

David directly deposited 200 million into the school’s account.

100 million was donated to the school while 100 million was to set up a scholarship fund.

Once the 200 million funds were in the account, the school leaders of Shu City High felt as if they were in a dream.

With this fund, they could definitely increase the popularity and teaching quality of the school to another level.

Moreover, David said that they could take out some of the 100 million donations to increase the teacher’s and the staff’s benefit.

This was related to their self-interest.

It seemed that they would be able to get a pretty hefty bonus in the new year.

After everything was done, David said to Giselle, “Ms. Hans, we will have a high school reunion in two days. You should have seen news of it too. I hope you can come to join us.” —

“Yes, I did. I’ll be there when the time comes. I’m very happy to see that you all have a bright future,” Giselle said happily.

In the end, David was escorted by a group of school leaders from Shu City High before leaving the campus.

When he was walking to the security office, David reminded Mr. Lowell and advised him to go back before opening the box because David had prepared other things for him.

David did not return to the hotel after leaving Shu City High.

Instead, he took Celia around Shu City.

Although he had not come back for three years, David was still very familiar with this city.

When he was in high school, whether it was noon or after school, on weekends such as Saturdays and Sundays, or on winter and summer vacations, David would be riding a bicycle through the streets and alleys of Shu City to deliver takeaways.

Thus, David’s footprints were in every remote corner of this city.

David was deeply moved when he returned to these places once again.

Three years ago, he was someone from the lowest rank in society. The only thing he was proud of and the only good thing about him was that he had pretty good grades.

Right now, he was the founder of a company that was worth trillions.

Also, he had a pretty high status in Somerland. If he told people about his status, even the cabinet minister of South River Province would need to show respect to him.

Before this, he even met that legendary old man from Somerland and they chatted so happily. These were achievements that countless people could not achieve in their entire lifetime. Meanwhile, he could do this within just a few months.

Everything was brought to him by the super lavish system!

Without it, he might still be studying hard in university and thinking about finding a good job in the future.

Chapter 427

Celia held David’s arm. They were attracting the attention of countless people as they walked along the road.

When they walked to a street that was predominantly selling snacks, David pointed to a fast food restaurant opposite them and said to Celia with a grin, “Celia, đo you remember the dozen or so takeaways that were knocked over when I rescued you? Those were all from this shop.”

“I’m sorry, David, I caused you to lose a lot of money at the time, right?” Celia said apologetically. “Silly girl, you don’t have to keep apologizing to me. We don’t need to be so polite to each other. It’s actually not that bad. The boss only wanted me to pay back the cost of the food and i n the end, I still made a profit since I got an amazing angel in the form of you.”

The two continued to walk again. They bought some food as they walked.

Every time he went to a familiar place, David would tell Celia about his glorious deeds there.

Celia loved this feeling.

She wanted to keep walking with David like this.

Back to the hotel.

David got a call from Aunt Diana asking him and Celia to visit her house tomorrow.

Before long, Aunt Sally called him again and asked them to go to her house the day after.

It seemed that the two of them had already arranged this.

Since the two had already called to invite him, David naturally had to go.

It seemed that the plan to take Celia around the city over the next two days had been shattered.

It would have to wait until after the high school reunion.

There were many places in Shu City with nice scenery. There were no factories in this small place, so everything here was at its original state and had not been polluted.

David was lying on the bed as he turned on his mobile phone. His high school classmates had been making a lot of noise in the group chat these days because of the approaching reunion.

Clay: (The reunion is in two days. Is everyone back yet?]

This was sent by Clay Donovan, the class monitor when David was still in high school.

His family was pretty well-off in Shu City.

Classmate: (Clay, I’m already back in Shu City.]

Classmate: (Clay, me too!) Classmate: (Clay, I’ll only go back tomorrow.)

Classmate: (Clay, I’ll be there the day after tomorrow.)

Clay: (How many of you are confirmed to attend? Give me a show of hands. After I confirm the number of people attending, it’ll be easier for me to book the restaurant and the int and the entertainment at night.)

Classmate: (1)

Classmate:[2]

Classmate: (3]

Classmate: (35]

David waited for a while. Once no one else was sending messages, he sent one. David: [36] After David sent that, Celia sent a message as well. Celia: [37]

The moment Celia sent that, the group blew up.

Classmate: [Damn, Goddess Celia is also coming? How surprising!)

Classmate: [F*ck me! Goddess Celia is replying, what a miracle!)

Classmate: (Yeah! Goddess Celia, you rarely reply in the group chat. Why did you show up all of a sudden? We’re so flattered.)

Classmate: (Hello, Goddess Celia!]

Classmate: [Everyone, come look! The goddess might run away after a while!)

Celia was the prettiest girl in high school, and she was very outstanding. She was miles ahead o f the people behind her, so naturally, she was sought after by countless boys.

In addition, she was the leading light of the province for the college entrance examination. Hence, she was someone invincible in terms of both looks and brains.

She would make girls feel ashamed of themselves whilst boys felt that she was unattainable.

After graduating, Celia stayed in the group chat, but she seldom said anything.

Every time she spoke, the group chat would blow up.

For a moment, Clay was also excited. He did not expect Celia to come. God was helping him indeed as he had admired Celia for a long time.

Aside from him, all of the boys in the school admired Celia too.

Chapter 428

This was an excellent opportunity.

What was the class reunion for?

Was it not for eating and chatting?

After the meal was over, he would arrange for everyone to go singing.

As the saying goes, men would not get a chance if women were not drunk.

He would then ask a few more male and female classmates to persuade Celia to drink more. After that, would he not have an opportunity? 1

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He would not have a chance again if he missed it this time. Celia never joined their gatherings when she was in high school, and she was even absent from the gathering they held during graduation.

Thus, no one expected her to come this time.

Clay was excited.

It was not just him, all the boys in the class were all excited too.

They would not have wishful thoughts of getting Celia, but when it came to this kind of goddess, being able to experience her presence would make them happy for several days.

Celia: (Hello everyone, I rarely talk to you all because of the tight academic schedule. I am here now and

I am apologizing to everyone. I hope you all don’t mind.]

Classmate: [Of course not! Why would we mind that?]

Classmate: (Yeah, we absolutely don’t mind!]

Classmate: (Goddess Celia, we don’t even have time to feel happy that you still remember us old schoolmates. Why would we mind?] Clay immediately said courteously.

Clay: (Celia, when are you coming to Shu City? I can pick you up.)

Celia: [No, thank you, I’m already in Shu City.]

Classmate: (What? Goddess Celia has arrived in Shu City? Where?]

Classmate: (Which part of Shu City are you in, Goddess Celia? Can I have the privilege of meeting you?] Clay: (Celia, where are you in Shu City? Do you want me to arrange a place for you to stay?

Don’t get me wrong, the best hotel in Shu City belongs to my uncle and I can get it for you for free.] Celia: [No, thank you, I came with my friends. See you at the party, I’ll rest first. Good night, everyone!) Celia stopped paying attention to the group chat after sending the last message.

However, there was a commotion in the group.

No one expected Celia to come.

David looked at the chat and smirked.

He was not surprised that Celia could cause such a commotion.

He genuinely felt that he was very lucky.

On the way to deliver meals, he met Celia who fell in the middle of the road and saved her. In the end, he managed to imprint his figure in her heart.

Otherwise, even if he was now worth billions, it will be difficult to get Celia to even look at him.

David also stopped paying attention to his phone.

At this time, someone in the group sent a number.

Sarah: (38]

When everyone looked at it, they saw that it was Sarah! Did Sarah not break up with David for a rich kid and then get depressed after she was dumped b y that same guy?

Why was she suddenly joining the reunion?

Even though everyone was curious, they did not say anything.

No one wanted to bring up this kind of thing that would offend someone.

They would naturally find out in the gathering two days later.

Why would they offend Sarah right now?

“Clay: [So I think there are only 38 of us, right? There are 68 people in the class so 38 people is a pretty good turnout. It’s already more than half. After all, many people still need to work hard to make a living. This is our first reunion after graduating from high school and in the future, I plan to host a reunion every year, so I hope that everyone can come and participate. A t the very least, it will give us something to remember when we are old. As for the cost, I will cover the cost of this party and you guys can just

turn up. Thank you for your support for this class reunion, see you all in two days.” After Clay sent that, the group was lively again.

Classmate: (Thanks for taking the time and effort to organize this party, Clay. And thank you for not charging us.]

Classmate: (Thank you, Clay. God bless you, Clay!) Classmate: (Clay, you’re awesome. We love you!]

Chapter 429

The next day, David brought Celia to his Aunt Diana’s house.

David drove the car and drove Celia into the neighborhood that had once been very familiar.

After parking the car, he went upstairs with Celia.

Once he was at the door to Aunt Diana’s house, he knocked at it.

Soon, the door opened.

It was his cousin, Judy.

“Dave, Celia, you’re here! Come in.”

When David and Celia entered the house, they found that there were quite a few people in the house.

There were at least ten of them.

However, although Aunt Diana’s house was a little old, the place was quite spacious. Thus, it was not crowded despite having more than ten people in the living room.

David knew these people.

His Uncle Leslie’s family was there, but David was not surprised.

It was because Aunt Diana had always been in touch with Uncle Leslie’s family.

However, his Uncle Bobby’s family was also there, which made David a little confused.

Was there not a huge conflict between Aunt Diana and Uncle Bobby because of him?

Why had they suddenly reconciled?

David was a little puzzled.

When they saw David coming in, both Leslie and Bobby had strange expressions on their faces.

Ever since Diana had gotten money, the brothers had been envious.

Bobby even bought a lot of things and brought his entire family to Diana’s house to apologize t o her. After all, they were siblings, and since Bobby had already apologized, Diana figured that it would not be good to hold on to this grudge.

Her two younger brothers were begging her to help them find the right social connections for them because they also wanted to take root in a big city like River City.

When the brothers went to River City and saw Diana’s villa, they were even more moved.

It would be so nice if they could stay in a place like this.

However, how would Diana have the social connections to help them?

That was why the brothers looked unnatural when they saw David walking in.

How should they get erase the estrangement between them?

Of course, their families should apologize to David.

If not, what else could they do?

As David’s uncles, they had to turn around and apologize to their nephew.

They felt that they could not swallow their pride to do so.

However, when they thought of Diana’s luxury car and villa, they had no choice but to try.

After all, it was just an apology, it was nothing major.

If they could live in a villa and drive luxury cars, they would even be willing to kneel in front David. At the end of the day, only their families would know about this.

Did they not see how grand and well-off Diana and Sally were when they came back?

Anyone would be envious.

As the saying went, ‘Humans could not live without honor just like trees could not live without bark.’

Chapter 430

They also wanted to experience the envious look of others.

When the two were about to speak, someone was one step ahead of them

“Dave, you’re here. Come sit down.” When Aunt Karen saw David coming in, she quickly got u p to give David her seat.

Bobby might feel embarrassed to do so, but she did not. As long as she could get David’s forgiveness, she could drive a luxury car like Diana, live in a luxurious villa, and have a job that could provide her a lot of money without much work.

She had been dreaming about this kind of life every day recently.

When Leslie saw Aunt Karen being so active and courteous, he hinted at his wife with his eyes.

He was asking her to learn from Karen.

If she wanted to drive a luxury car and live in a luxurious villa, she could not be too passive.

David did not speak or greet these people. Instead, he pulled Celia to the other side.

“Judy, let’s squeeze a little,” David said to Judy.

Judy quickly stood up and said, “Sit, I’ll go help out in the kitchen.” David pulled Celia to sit down.

He did not have much to say to Bobby and his family.

Everything that happened in the past was still vivid in his memory.

If he had not escaped their clutches in time and stayed with Aunt Sally, it was hard to say whether he would even still be alive right now.

He would never forget those dark times.

Karen smiled awkwardly and sat back down again.

“Dave, how are you doing? How’s your studies?” Aunt Lisa asked with a smile on her face.

“Dave, you’ve been working out there for so long, you should come back and visit if you have time. We’ve cleaned your parents’ house for you so you can come back and stay there at any time,” Karen said flatteringly.

David did not intend to pay any attention to them, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Although Celia had no idea what was going on, she could feel the change in David’s mood. Hence, she gripped David’s hand tightly.

No matter what the situation was, she chose to always trust David.

Alex was sitting on one side, but he did not know what to say.

When Diana asked Bobby and Leslie to come, he felt that it was inappropriate and objected, but to no avail.

He watched David grow up and he knew what happened to David at Bobby’s house.

He had also been in the organization for most of his life, so he was a pretty good judge of character. David was the kind of person who would return one’s kindness to them tenfold, but he would also return the deeds of anyone who wronged him tenfold too.

If Bobby was not David’s uncle, he would be ten times worse off.

Therefore, asking David to forgive them would be wishful thinking.

It would be bad if they did not get the desired outcome but got themselves into a whole other mess instead.

Was the situation in front of him not developing in the direction he predicted?

He just hoped that David would not become estranged with their family, otherwise their gains would not be able to make up for the loss they would suffer.

However, with David’s character, he might not care about this trivial matter.

“Dave, at the end of the day, we are still a family. Although we were a bit over the line in the past, I am still your uncle after all. We have the same blood in our veins. What can’t be resolved, right?” Bobby said.

One had to admit that Bobby’s statement had a certain level of logic.

If David did not experience hell all those years staying with him, he might be able to forgive Bobby.

If Leslie was the one who said this, David might need to reconsider.

After all, even though Leslie did not help him, at least he did not torture him.

However, since Bobby was the one who said this, David was furious and he could not suppress the anger in his heart anymore.

“Uncle? Have you fulfilled your duty as an uncle? If it wasn’t for Aunt Diana and Aunt Sally, I might be dead now. I know what you’re thinking. You saw that Aunt Diana and Aunt Sally’s lives turned for the better because of me so you want to curry favor with me and get some benefits, right? Let me tell you, Bobby, I just donated 200 million to Shu City High yesterday. I would rather donate the money than give you a single penny: You should give up hope right now.”
