Chapter 087 Don't Say Brothers Aren't Loyal
"Patrick, is that you?"
Just as Patrick spotted Eric, Eric noticed him too.
This guy was a rich kid driving a Porsche 911.
His family assets had just over the billion-dollar mark, slightly better off than Patrick's family.
He barely qualifies to join the upper wealthy men's circle.
Among the thirty or so rich kids, only three to five were truly impressive.
Gordon and Alex were the top figures in the circle.
Eric acted all high and mighty in front of Patrick, but in front of the Cunningham family and the Campbell family, he was just a lackey.
The moment he saw Patrick, he felt something was off.
"Eric, could Charles's true identity be that mysterious...?"
Patrick was already sweating, hesitantly asking.
"Could it be? The one who was showing off in front of Mr. Smoke was you?"
Eric was stunned!
He thought it was some big shot dare to show off in front of Mr. Smoke.
Even the heirs of the Cunningham family and the Campbell family respected this person.
Who knew it was Patrick?
Even if Patrick's family assets were all put together, it wouldn't be enough to cover Mr. Smoke's daily gift expenses!
Was he out of his mind?
"Is it really Mr. Smoke?"
When Patrick heard this, his legs went weak, almost kneeling on the ground!
Being humiliated was acceptable.
At worst, he could just stop associating with these classmates.
But offending Mr. Smoke was a serious matter.
Who would have thought that his simp classmate was actually the Ultra-rich Patron Mr. Smoke?
"You're done. You are so over. Don't blame me. Don't ever mention you know me again!" Eric quickly distanced himself.
Patrick said in a panic, "Come on, Eric, I already know I was wrong. How was I supposed to know he was Mr. Smoke?"
Eric wanted to distance himself from him.
If others in the circle found out about this, wouldn't they also distance themselves?
How could he continue to live in this small group?
"Don't tell me you're sorry. Go apologize to Mr. Smoke in person, soften up, and say some nice things!" Eric suggested.
"Do I really have to apologize? But I don't think I did anything wrong?"
Patrick found it hard to say.
Patrick really couldn't do it.
If Mr. Smoke were someone else or someone he didn't know, he would probably run over and apologize immediately!
But this person was Charles.
This gave him a mental block.
In his mind, Charles was always just a simp, a worthless loser.
Apologize to a worthless loser?
He couldn't do it.
"Why did things turn out this way? Alice is still watching. If I go over and flatter Charles now, it would be incredibly humiliating."
Patrick was deeply conflicted!
With Mr. Smoke's status, he could really make it impossible for him to stay in Syeattel.
But if he had to grovel in front of Charles in front of Alice, he couldn't accept it either!
He was caught in a dilemma!
Alice and Patrick were only five steps apart.
So, she heard the conversation between Eric and Patrick.
"Mr. Smoke?"
"Charles is the Ultra-rich Patron Mr. Smoke who spent thirty million dollars on various streaming platforms?"
"No wonder there are so many rich heirs helping him, and no wonder streamer Mia looks at Charles like he's a god! Turns out he's been hiding this deep!"
"So, Michelle's previous slander against Charles was baseless!"
Having figured it all out.
Alice's impression of Charles greatly improved.
Now, Charles, surrounded by admiration and shining brightly, actually looked quite handsome!
And Charles was different from Patrick.
He was low-key and restrained, mature and stable, although he was very awesome, he never brags; he only provess with actions!
This was the true demeanor of a big shot!
Among her former classmates, there was actually someone so outstanding. Why didn't she have much of an impression of him?
Alice tried to recall her high school memories.
She really couldn't remember!
Charles didn't know what Alice was thinking.
He only knew that Alice's favorability towards him was skyrocketing!
Alice: Favorability +20
Alice: Favorability +20
Alice: Favorability +20
Current Favorability: 40 points.
This was totally a reversal.
Alice's favorability went straight from -20 points to 40 points.
Charles felt today's arrangement was worth it!
He glanced in Alice's direction.
Just in time, Alice looked over at him.
Their eyes met.
They stared at each other for a full three seconds.
Alice blinked her big eyes, not backing down from the gaze.
Her eyes didn't waver.
'Could she start to be interested in me?' Charles thought.
For the first time, the girl he admired in high school was seriously looking at him, making Charles a bit excited.
But he quickly calmed down!
He was no longer a novice.
He could rationally view some issues and wouldn't get carried away!
Even if Alice was his first crush, her actions today still left Charles a bit disappointed and dissatisfied.
Previously, Alice's favorability towards him was -20 points, but due to a role reversal, it shot up to 40 points.
During this process, Charles never spoke a word to Alice.
But the reality was,
Due to external influences, even a goddess with a beauty score of 9.2 couldn't escape the norm!
Maybe human nature was just like that.
Her high beauty score didn't mean she was different from others.
They were all just ordinary people.
But the task still needed to be completed!
Charles adjusted his mindset.
From this moment on, he began to understand that there were no goddesses in the world.
They were all just mortals!
Only because you put her on a pedestal did she seem unattainable.
If you viewed her with a normal heart, she was just an ordinary person!
While Charles was sighing inwardly, the two staff members responsible for delivering the car had already unloaded the Ferrari LaFerrari from the trailer.
It was just that the scene just now was a bit shocking.
It took them ten minutes to react.
"Sir, the car has been unloaded. For payment, just contact our headquarters. Here are your keys!"
The staff respectfully handed the keys to Charles.
This time, they finally saw what true grandeur was!
No wonder he could afford a three-million-dollar supercar.
Charles took the keys.
At this moment, Patrick, who had been struggling for a long time, finally decided to lower his stance.
