Chapter 351 That Useless Fool
Everyone looked at Donald as if he was an idiot.
Donald was asking for a person with hundreds of billion net worth.
They wondered if he was mentally sound.
Even Adrian and Jeremiah, who had monopolized various industries for so many years, did not dare claim that they were worth one hundred billion.
“Are you an idiot?” Adrian guffawed.
“He’s a certified idiot!” Kevin laughed out loud from the back and kept smacking his thighs.
It was evident that he was very happy to see Donald being put in a tough spot.
Jennifer lowered her head and held her forehead. She felt a little helpless. When Donald and I were together, he was very calm and collected. Why does he want to hold onto his last strand of dignity when arguing with Ysabel next to him? Moreover, he needs to know that there are limits to how much he can brag about!
Jennifer knew that Donald did not lack money. She saw Chiliad Avion giving him five million as a reward, after all.
However, that was all.
Linda said to Jennifer in a serious tone, “You have to keep your distance from him. He’s acting like he has nothing to lose right now!”
Leonard stated, “Jennifer, your mom is right. Donald is currently giving up on himself!”
Ysabel’s mother, Beatrice, stared at Donald. Then, she lowered her head, feeling deeply embarrassed for him. As a result, the expression on her face was gloomy.
Ysabel was also at a loss for words.
Donald said, “I really have a net worth of a hundred billion.”
Donald had spoken in a very serious tone. How much money does Horizon Group have at the moment? I don’t know. What I do know, though, is that I definitely have a net worth of one hundred billion. I haven’t counted the exact number, of course. Money is just a number to me, anyway. If I can successfully make controlled fusion technology available for commercial use next, I’ll be able to become the world’s richest man within two or three years. I’ll be at the top spot for decades or even over a hundred years!
“Tell me, which spot do you think I should take since I have a net worth of one hundred billion?” Donald asked, narrowing his eyes at Adrian.
The latter’s smile slowly disappeared as a blank expression took over his face. “Are you still adamant about that?”
Donald pondered for a bit before replying, “Yes.”
Jeremiah, who was at the back, also stood up. He was a middle-aged man with an average body figure.
At first glance, he looked like someone who had a lot of experience. He controlled a number of service areas. Businesspeople from all walks of life knew him very well.
“Who gave you the rights to behave so atrociously here today?” Jeremiah asked.
As he said that, he looked at Ysabel and Beatrice. “Tell me; why did the two of you bring this stranger here? This is the family dinner of the Stern family, after all! By the way, if Julian’s predicament hadn’t been solved by Mr. Yund, you guys would’ve become the laughing stock of the whole world! And since you’re a widow, Beatrice, you have to know your place!”
Jeremiah did not beat around the bush. His words caused the color to drain from Beatrice’s face, and her body shook slightly.
There was a reason why Beatrice had not remarried after all these years.
The reason was that she was afraid that other people would start gossiping about her.
She had been celibate for so many years as she feared that others would say that she had no self-respect.
Beatrice already had tears in her eyes as she faced Jeremiah’s accusation. “Jeremiah, please let me explain!”
“There’s nothing to explain! I want him to leave!” Jeremiah pointed toward the exit.
Everyone stood back up even though they had already taken their seats. They all looked at Donald coldly.
The latter suddenly had a mocking expression on his face. He looked at Adrian and Jeremiah.
Then, Jeremiah stood up. He thought to himself for a bit before saying, “It seems like a young man like you haven’t experienced anything tough in life.”
Jennifer could not take it anymore. She got up and stated, “Uncle Jeremiah, don’t be so rash.”
The man turned his head. When he saw that it was Jennifer who said that, his expression softened a little.
Jennifer was part of the Stern family, after all. Other than Adrian and Jeremiah, Jennifer was the one who performed the best in the Stern family.
“He’s my ex-husband,” Jennifer stated.
Jeremiah nodded. “I know, but you guys have already divorced. So you don’t have to interfere in this matter now.”
Jennifer wanted to say something, but she was pulled back by Linda. Her mother exclaimed, “What are you doing? Mind your own business! Forget about that useless idiot!”
