Chapter 365 You're Just a Loser
The crowd erupted in an uproar upon hearing James' words!
Everyone looked at James with a strange expression.
Donna, on the other hand, looked at James with a face full of disappointment. In fact, Donna had already anticipated this situation!
From the beginning, Donna thought James was just joking with everyone.
James couldn't even afford his tuition back then, how could he possibly buy so many houses now?
Especially in such a sudden situation.
However, after seeing the attitude of Pamela and Demetrius towards James, Donna began to doubt whether she had underestimated James. Maybe James was really a low-key rich kid?
But when Donna saw James' card being declined, she felt her previous thoughts were utterly ridiculous.
Everyone present suddenly felt like they had been played by James, and they became furious.
"Mr. Smith, what is going on here?" Demetrius was also a bit shocked at this moment, stammering as he shouted at James.
After all, Demetrius was the person in charge of this sales office. If they offended so many customers today because of James, Demetrius would definitely be in trouble!
This property had a great location and a reasonable price, so it was never hard to sell. Many customers had already paid deposits. So after hearing that James intended to buy all the houses, Demetrius had returned all the deposits.
But now, if James didn't buy these houses, those customers who had paid deposits before would definitely leave, and today's incident would surely spread, making it very difficult to sell these houses in the future!
"Yeah, Mr. Smith, what is going on?" Pamela couldn't help but shout as well.
Pamela didn't think James was pretending to be rich, as she was very clear about James' financial situation.
Back then, James had bought a $200 million mansion without even looking at it. Now, spending $1 billion to buy these houses shouldn't be a problem for him.
"Like I said, my account has some issues right now, so I can't buy these houses!" James explained to Pamela with a somewhat apologetic tone.
Pamela was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then whispered, "So it's an account issue. That's okay, Mr. Smith. I can have the sales office hold the houses for you. You can come back to pay and sign the contract whenever you're free!"
Pamela still didn't realize what kind of problem James' account had. She thought James was just temporarily short on funds.
"You don't need to hold these houses for me. I might not be able to afford them in the future!" James didn't want to continue deceiving Pamela and replied in a calm tone.
"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with your company?" Pamela asked James with a puzzled expression.
"Sort of." James nodded lightly, then walked straight out of the sales office.
"Hey, James, weren't you acting all rich just now? Didn't you say you were going to buy all the houses? Why are you leaving now? Hurry up and buy the houses so we can all see!"
At this moment, Evelyn suddenly stood up and shouted at James in a mocking tone.
James heard Evelyn's words, looked up at her, and bit his lip without saying anything.
He had originally planned to take this opportunity to show off his wealth, but now it seemed impossible.
"What? Are you mute? Say something!" Evelyn continued to mock coldly, pouting.
"Move aside!" James said to Evelyn in a low voice.
"Why should I listen to you? I'm still waiting for the show of how much money you have!"
"James, don't think I don't know who you are! You're just a poor delivery guy. I know you're very insecure, so you like to pretend to be rich to get everyone's attention, right? But what you did today is really terrible. What's the point of pretending to be rich?"
Evelyn's words were very venomous, each one stabbing into James' heart.
James looked at Evelyn in front of him, gritted his teeth, and didn't know how to refute. After all, the facts were right there, and anything James said would seem weak and powerless.
Donna looked at James with eyes full of disappointment.
Although she wouldn't look down on James for being poor, she couldn't accept James pretending to be a rich kid.
She couldn't understand why James would do this, just like she couldn't understand why James had spent $70,000 to treat everyone to a meal at Azure Pavilion.
At that time, he explained he had won the lottery. But why didn't he use the money for something more meaningful instead of satisfying his vanity?
Was face really that important to James?
And even though he treated the whole class to a meal, no one really remembered his kindness. In the end, people just thought James was out of his mind.
"So you've been playing us all along?"
"Are you crazy? Why pretend to be a rich kid here?"
"Didn't you say you were going to buy all the remaining houses? Why aren't you buying now?"
The crowd, spurred by Evelyn's words, became agitated and surrounded James, shouting at him with excited expressions.
Hearing their ridicule, James couldn't help but tremble all over, and his right hand clenched into a fist involuntarily.
James hadn't heard such mockery in a long time, nor had he been looked down upon like this in a long time.
Now, hearing these words, he still felt they were so harsh and unbearable.
Clearly, James was no longer able to handle such feelings.
"I think this guy is a fraud. We should call the police and have him sent to the station. Let's see if he dares to deceive people again!"
Even now, Evelyn wouldn't let James go, glaring with her big eyes and shouting excitedly at the crowd.
"That's right, people like him should be sent to the police station. Let's all grab him together!"
After Evelyn said this, the crowd echoed her sentiments, and a few people even rushed towards James.
"Stop it, all of you!"
At this moment, a woman's stern voice suddenly echoed in the sales office.
