Chapter 104 This Isn't the First Time I've Saved You.
Alice signed the stock transfer agreement.
Charles kept his word. He immediately pulled out his phone and started the transfer.
[Your bank account has received $77 million.]
"$77 million? Is it really $77 million?" Fiona was stunned. Holding her phone, she saw the $77 million added to the company's account and was almost too excited to speak.
The speed at which Charles transferred the money was simply unbelievable. Such a huge amount, even when dealing with a Fortune 500 company, wouldn't be transferred this quickly. The procedures for such a large sum were usually very complex. Getting the funds approved within a week would be considered fast! Some companies might even drag it out for a month or six months, which was normal, but Charles only took a minute. One minute after the contract was signed, $77 million was instantly transferred to the account! That was how extravagant he was!
It was shocking that he didn't need to go through any complex procedures or call home for money. He had $77 million in liquid assets in his own account!
Not just Donna and Fiona, but everyone present was internally experiencing a tidal wave of emotions! The $77 million Charles just took out represented far more than just $77 million. To be honest, Hank Corporation's total assets exceed $450 million. But most of it was fixed assets, company shares, and some project investments. Liquid assets that the Hank family could come up with were less than $30 million! In fact, many companies operated in this manner now.
A large company with a market valuation of billions of dollars couldn't mobilize $77 million. Even if they could, it would take a long time to prepare! But Charles didn't need to prepare. The power to transfer $77 million without hesitation from a young man in his early twenties was terrifying.
Henry's attitude became friendly. "Mr. Watson, I apologize for the earlier incident. I hope you won't hold it against my son."
Orlando argued, "Henry , what are you talking about? He hit me first, not the other way around. Why should I apologize to him? He even took my wife. I can't swallow this! It's just $77 million; our Hank Family can come up with too..."
Before Orlando could finish his sentence, Henry slapped him hard across his chubby face. "Shut up, you fool! The Hank family's business will be ruined by an idiot like you!" Henry scolded Orlando.
Orlando held his face, stunned by the slap! He wasn't really stupid, just a young man who acts impulsively. And he genuinely liked Alice. Things were going well with marrying Alice, but then an unknown Mr. Watson took his wife. How could he keep calm? This wasn't just an insult; it was a huge humiliation. If this matter leaked out, how would he fit into the circle of silver-spoon kids in Seattle? So he lost his mind. But Henry's slap was like a wake-up call, making him calm down. The power Charles displayed was indeed astonishing. Before the Hank family figured out his background, it was best not to act rashly.
Charles stood with one hand behind his back, scanning the room with a commanding gaze. No one dared to meet his eyes, not even Henry or Donna.
Charles spoke, "Mr. Mitchell, remember this: don't force Alice to do anything she doesn't want to do. Today, I can save the Mitchell family, and tomorrow, I can destroy it."
Charles was utterly arrogant, but Donna didn't dare to refute him, becoming even more respectful. His demeanor perfectly matched the image of a young person from a wealthy family. The more arrogant he was, the less likely people were to doubt his identity.
"Mr. Watson, rest assured, I understand your words!" Donna nodded, thinking Charles's words had another meaning.
On the surface, it was to protect Alice, but in reality, it was a warning that Alice was his girlfriend, and she couldn't be allowed to interact with other men. How could someone give you $77 million for nothing? He said he was transferring the shares to Alice to leave a better impression on her. It was clear that Mr. Watson was a man with ambition; he wanted not just a woman's body but also her heart.
Charles's tactics, far superior to the Hank family's, were convincing. Donna looked at Alice speechlessly. If he had known she knew such a powerful young rich person, why would he have sought out the Hank family? Why sign such a domineering agreement? It was completely unnecessary.
With some words from Mr. Watson, all the Mitchell family's difficulties were resolved by the $77 million injection. Not only could their company avoid bankruptcy, but they could also take the Mitchell family's business to the next level.
After saying his harsh words, Charles ignored the others and grabbed Alice's hand, leading her out of the conference room. Once they were out of the Imperial International Hotel, he let out a long sigh of relief.
'Damn, that was nerve-wracking. I wonder if my actions just now intimidated them?' Charles thought to himself.
He's not usually an arrogant person, but when he walked in and saw so many people, including Alice's parents, all with impressive auras, he thought if he acted too low-key, he might be looked down upon. So he decided to act arrogantly. Unexpectedly, it really intimidated them! Even billion-dollar business owners had to bow to him. This move was excellent. Mainly because Charles hadn't experienced much of the world, his acting was a bit lacking, slightly exaggerated. However, with more exposure, his demeanor would become more natural.
"Charles, thank you so much for your help this time!" Alice appeared grateful but struggled to articulate it. She realized she couldn't repay the favor of $77 million.
"It's okay, it's not the first time I've helped you!" Charles said, scratching the back of his head with a smile.
"Not the first time? Have you saved me before?" Alice asked, puzzled.
"Did you really forget? In our junior year, after evening study, you were cornered by two ruffians in an alley, and I came to your rescue!"
Charles's words made Alice freeze. A flood of memories came rushing back. She looked at him with an expression of disbelief.
