Chapter 7 Whose Five Million Dollars Is It

"Ha-ha!"

As soon as Randolph finished his words, everyone laughed mockingly. Their laughter sounded particularly harsh.

Brinley was so embarrassed that she lowered her head and bit her lip. Her pretty face flushed.

She never thought Randolph would dare to talk big like that. What would happen to her now? She was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Kieran and Julissa glared at Randolph viciously, gnashing their teeth in anger.

They were filled with regrets. They shouldn't have brought this rapist here. But what else could they do? They could only keep the remorse and anger in their hearts.

Erica couldn't stop laughing. She laughed so hard that she was out of breath now. She pointed at Randolph's nose and snapped, "You rapist! Are you out of your mind? Or your mind must actually be empty. You know nothing except bragging. And do you really expect us to believe you? It's five million dollars! We're talking about five million dollars, not five dollars. Do you even have five dollars now?"

"Ha-ha!" This time, another sneer broke out. Brinley's family could no longer bear the embarrassment.

At this moment, someone's phone rang.

It was Brinley's phone. She received a new message. She unlocked her phone and checked the message.

"Dear Miss Selleck, $5, 000, 000 has been transferred to your account."

Brinley's red lips slightly gaped open in incredulity. And her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.

Erica noticed Brinley's reaction. She walked up to Brinley with arms akimbo.

"What now? Do you still want to give us a good show? Are you not done yet? What's next? Are you going to tell everyone that you have received a transfer notification from the bank?"

After saying this, she grabbed Brinley's phone rudely, planning to expose Brinley's trick. But when she looked at the screen, the expression on her face suddenly froze.

At this moment, Effie hurried to Erica's side and asked, "Erica, what's wrong?"

She looked at Brinley's phone. And when she saw the string of numbers on the screen, her expression changed. It was as if she had seen a ghost.

She subconsciously blurted out, "Is this for real? You really got the five million dollars?"

The other members of the Selleck family also heard this. They all turned and looked at Randolph. The expressions in their eyes immediately changed.

All of a sudden, they felt that he was an unfathomable figure.

Even Kieran and Julissa were too stunned to react.

Of course, they knew what kind of a person Randolph was. How could he have so much money? It was too difficult for them to believe it.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the outside.

"Hi, everyone!"

All the members of the Selleck family turned their heads and looked in the direction where the voice came from. Then they saw Meade in a formal suit coming in.

Meade quickly walked to Leonel and handed the gift box in his hand to him.

"Mr. Selleck, I'm sorry for coming uninvited. I took the liberty of inviting myself. Please accept my gift for you. It's a golden watch worth millions of dollars. I hope you like it."

As he spoke, he opened the gift box for everyone to see. Then a golden watch appeared right before their eyes.

Meade's gift received a tremendous cheer from the crowd.

"Wow!" Kabir exclaimed with eyes wide open. "Meade, you are so generous!"

He looked at Meade with eyes shining with admiration.

Leonel hurriedly took the gift with both hands, laughing heartily. "Wow! This is such a big gift. You must also have a big heart, then."

Erica hurried over and flattered Meade. Her eyes shone bright with happiness. It was as if the golden watch was for her. She said obsequiously, "Mr. Curtis, you have spent so much money on this expensive gift. The Selleck family is honored to receive such a present from you."

She paused. When she spoke again, her voice was already full of sarcasm. "Unlike other people out there. They will never be as generous as you."

Her words made Brinley feel ashamed and indignant at the same time.

Kieran was also embarrassed. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Leonel.

On the other hand, Julissa, standing next to him, was lost in thought. Actually, she had been thinking about the five million dollars.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. Then she walked up to Meade with a flattering smile and said, "Meade, thank you for the five million dollars."

She figured it out just now. Only Meade had the capacity to give them such an amount.

Knowing Randolph, she knew it was impossible for him to have so much money. So she was convinced that the five million must have been transferred by Meade.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? Right after Brinley received a transfer notification from the bank, Meade arrived.

The other members of the Selleck family also realized it.

Five years ago, Randolph was nothing. He was even worse than a stray dog. After spending five years abroad, he still couldn't earn a living. So he came back dejectedly. How could he have so much money?

Erica also had the same realization. She said in her sweetest voice, "Of course. How can a rapist be that rich? Only Mr. Curtis can lend us money regardless of everything that happened."

The other members of the Selleck family followed suit. They all started to flatter Meade.

"Mr. Curtis, five million is so much money. You are so generous."

"Mr. Curtis, you are such a good man. Brinley is very lucky to have you."

The more he listened to them, the more confused Meade was.

What five million dollars were they talking about? He didn't give Brinley five million dollars at all.

After the embarrassment that Brinley had given him at the wedding, why would he give her five million dollars?

He would never give her a penny until Kieran and Julissa convinced her to sleep with him willingly.

Meade had no idea who gave five million dollars to Brinley. But since everyone thought it was him, why didn't he take credit?

He smiled brightly and pretended to be magnanimous. He said, "It's not a big deal. I don't want to show off. But my love for Brinley is priceless. As long as she changes her mind and marries me, I am willing to give her even fifty million dollars."

His words made everyone more certain that the money Brinley received was his.

But at this moment, Randolph broke his silence. He frowned and said coldly, "It was me who had someone transfer the money. It has nothing to do with Meade."

Everyone's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.
