Chapter 299


    Estelle shook her head, “No worries! By the way, may I ask you about something?”


    “Ain’t I tell you to call me Charlie? If you call me Charlie, Jonathan might just get pissed, but if you’re s


    o polite to me, he’ll seriously get mad at me!” Charlie joked, pointing at the couch, “What’s up? Sit dow


    n and talk!”


    Estelle sat on the small couch and took out a card, putting it in front of


    Charlie, “Here’s a hundred grand that I’m returning on Emily’s behalf.”


    Charlie looked surprised at the card on the table, thenughed, “Estelle, what is this all about?”


    Estelle immediately said, “I just think Emily’s working too hard, so I wanted to return the money for her.


    It has nothing to do with Jonathan or our


    rtionship”


    Charlie leaned back on the couch, his face elegant, “You and Emily are friends, so you must know her


    well. If she agreed, I wouldn’t even ask her to pay back this hundred grand. So what’s the point in me a


    have to pay it back, would she listen? If I say you paid it off for her, she’ll definitely try to return the mon


    ey to you!”


    He paused and continued, “Or maybe you think she


    doesn’t need to worry about repaying you, so she doesn’t need to push herself so hard. But I think she’l


    l still do the same thing!”


    Estelle lowered her eyes, knowing Charlie was right. Emily was stubborn and honest, and even if she o


    wed her money, she’d force herself to pay it back as soon as possible.


    “With her personality, she

    wouldn’t ept charity from others, which is actually a good thing. Once she enters society, at least sh


    e won’t lose out in this aspect!” Charlie


    spoke slowly. “It might be difficult for her to ept the hundred grand, but I think I can help her find an


    easier job.”


    Estelle looked up. “Really?”


    Charlie asked, “What major did she study at university?”


    Estelle answered, “She studies architectural design at Technical University of J City!”


    Charlie was somewhat surprised, not expecting Emily, a young


    girl, to study this major. He nodded, “I see. I’m going abroad tomorrow for about five or six days, and w


    hen Ie back, I’ll help her out!”


    Estelle’s eyes sparkled, and her tone couldn’t help but lighten up. “Thank you, Charlie!”


    “No need to be so polite with me!” Charlie pushed the card on the table towards her, “Take this back!”


    As Estelle reached out to take the card, she heard a familiar male voice, “What are you doing?


    She turned her head and saw Jonathan slowly walking over, his face hidden in the dim light, his expres


    sion unclear.


    Charlie leaned sideways andughed, “I took Estelle as my sister and gave her some money!”


    Jonathan came up and sat down between the two, looking at the card in Estelle’s hand, and almostu


    ghed, “You think I’d believe that?”


    She hadn’t spent the money he’d given her, so why would she take Charlie’s money?


    Estelle put away the card and said gently. “I wanted to help Emily pay back her debt, but Brother Charli


    e didn’t ept


    Jonathan’s face darkened, and he nced at Charlie, “He’s even fit to be a brother?”


    Charlie snickered, “Why ain’t I fit to be a brother? Today, if Estelle calls me bro, I’ll have her back where


    ver she goes!”


    “Does she need that?” Jonathan scoffed.


    Charlie signaled to Estelle with his eyes, implying he was right about his earlierint!


    Estelle’s face turned slightly red, and she smiled with pursed lips.


    Seeing the two exchanging nces, Jonathan became even more unhappy, scolding Charlie, “I’m still


    here, put away that cheap look of yours!”
