Chapter 260
Yolanda's classmate smiled, but with sarcasm. "Really? Your boss is so rich! He is the owner of the plaza!"
Her boyfriend sneered. Was that supposed to be a joke? Although he seldom came to the plaza, he knew how much it was estimated to be. How could a multi-millionaire be so ordinary like Chuck, who didn't even have a car?
Yolanda understood what they meant, they didn't believe her. She couldn't help but look at Chuck next to her. He had such confident eyes, how could he own it if he wasn't rich?
Her own classmate didn't believe it, but Yolanda couldn't help it, "Julia, he is really the owner of the plaza."
Julia Laird shook her head and muttered in her heart, "Haha, stop joking at this hour."
Julia judged inwardly, "Yolanda, do you have to lie? We are kind enough to drive you back, yet you are trying to show off in my husband's car. Nonsense. Of course, I know about such a well-known plaza. But, how can it be Chuck's?"
That was impossible!
Yolanda felt even more helpless and a little guilty. She shouldn't have discussed it in the car earlier. Now, it had led to Chuck being looked down upon by her classmate.
Chuck couldn't care less. Anyway, he wouldn't have anything to do with these two people. Therefore, there was no need for him to make any clarifications. If he had to clarify everything to all those who looked down upon him, wouldn't he be exhausted to the brink of death?
Julia's face was full of mockery, "We've arrived, you can get off now. Yolanda, we'll keep in contact in the future."
"Okay, thank you for sending us back," Yolanda said.
"Thank you," Chuck said as well. After all, he did take a free ride. It was his duty to express gratitude.
When they got out of the car, Julia muttered, "Honey, she said that he's the owner of the plaza. If we parked in the parking lot, would it be free for us?"
There was no parking lot nearby, and they wanted to go out to eat and walk around.
"He's the boss? They were joking, and now you're joking as well?" Her boyfriend shook his head disdainfully. Needless to say, he didn't believe it!
"Let's just ask them. Since they want to show off, we'll let them keep their pretense. Otherwise, it's difficult to find a parking space." Julia said, "If he turns out to be the plaza's owner, it's just a matter of a few words."
"Okay, go ahead then," her boyfriend nodded.
Julia rolled down the window, "By the way, Yolanda, didn't you say that he's the plaza's owner? If we parked inside for about four hours, could we get it for free?"
"Sure, just drive in," Yolanda smiled.
"Really? Hopefully, it doesn't end up where we have to pay," Julia curled her lips.
"It won't, just drive in," Yolanda took out her phone to call the management in the parking lot and reported Julia's boyfriend's car number. It was indeed a matter of a few words.
"They do like putting on a show, it looks almost convincing. She's even making a call. Forget it, Honey, just park here. If we need to pay, so be it. Anyway, there is nowhere else to park. I'm sure he's not the owner," Julia said.
Her boyfriend nodded, "What kind of friend of yours is this? Why is she pretentious to this extent?"
Julia was embarrassed, "Stop talking about them. Let them be, whatever floats their boat. Let's go."
"Okay. Don't ask your classmates to get in the car next time. I can't believe that they had the nerve to show off in my car," Julia's boyfriend snorted and planned to drive in the parking lot. However, Julia suddenly patted his hand, "Hey, look, isn't that the movie star, Zabrina Yalden?"
"Where?" Her boyfriend looked over and did see a beautiful woman with a curvy figure coming towards them. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and found that it truly was Zabrina. Such a nice body shape, as a man, how could he not recognize her?
"It really is Zabrina Yalden!" He exclaimed, "But why would a star like her come to such a place?"
"Don't you know? I thought it was fake news when I heard that Zabrina was filming over here. Turns out it is true, she did come to film a movie. Honey, wait for a while. I want to go and ask for an autograph and a photo... Ah, Honey. Look..." As she was about to get out of the car, Julia suddenly became dumbfounded and stopped mid-sentence. She thought that Zabrina was just passing by, but the movie star unexpectedly walked up to Yolanda and Chuck.
What was she doing? Why did Zabrina look for these two? Why? Was the man who just got in their car really the owner of this square?
Her boyfriend was also surprised.
Zabrina had suddenly come over and straight away revealed that she knew he was the owner of the plaza!
Chuck had no choice but to ask, "Who told you that?"
"There, someone from the cafe over there said it," Zabrina pointed to Lara's cafe.
Chuck looked over. He didn't expect Lara to have such a loose mouth. He thought, "Well, it seems that I have to use my 'baller' identity to lecture you on WeChat." "Well, what can I do for you?" Chuck could only ask. He remembered that the movie crew should have left the day before and should be ready to continue to shoot. "Why did you say that the plaza belongs to Wilbur?" Zabrina was angry at this matter.
"Wilbur liked you, so I..."
"So, you gave him your plaza so that it would be convenient for him to pursue me?" Zabrina's expression was of fury.
Chuck nodded. That was right.
"You are so generous," Zabrina snorted.
Yolanda shifted her gaze at Zabrina and thought, "Why does this sentence have a hint of sourness?"
Chuck coughed and thought, "Wilbur is my friend. What's wrong with helping him out?"
"Zabrina, it really is you. I'm your super fan, can you sign me an autograph? Also, is it okay to take a photo together?" Julia came over with an expectant look on her face. Zabrina nodded and signed for her. Julia then took out her mobile phone to take pictures, but Zabrina shook her head, "No, change the background. I don't want to take photos in his plaza." Julia was startled. So... that was true? Yolanda wasn't pretending just now, and this plaza was really Chuck's?
Julia was in a daze...
Then, her eyes lit up when she saw Chuck. He was such a big shot, why would he need to drive? He was indeed frugal, opting to get a taxi casually by the roadside.
After Julia and Zabrina were done taking photos, Zabrina turned and was about to leave. She said, "By the way, the movie will soon go to your school for a shoot. The school doesn't belong to you as well, right?"
Chuck was embarrassed and shook his head. "School? Oh, it's not a bad idea to buy a private school. Recruiting would earn ten to twenty thousand, and fees would be twenty to thirty thousand per year. In one year, that's about four to five hundred million dollars! Sounds like a plan," Chuck thought in his heart.
Chuck was reminded by Zabrina of this plan all of a sudden. Indeed, he could ask about this matter.
"That's good. Both the plaza and the movie investment are yours. I thought the school might belong to you as well," Zabrina left as she spoke.
Julia was shocked to hear that. What? Chuck was the investor of the movie that Zabrina was filming now?
My God!
He looked so ordinary. How could he be so rich?
"Julia, are you guys parking in?" Yolanda asked.
"Yes, we are. By the way, what's your WhatsApp number? I'll add you as a friend there," Julia's eyes lit up as she asked Chuck. A square and a movie investment. Chuck was much richer than her boyfriend. "Sorry, I don't use it," Chuck shook his head and rejected her.
"Alright then, Yolanda, we'll keep in touch." Helpless, Julia got in the car with disappointment.
"How did it go? Is the plaza really his?" Her boyfriend asked when she returned.
"Yes, it's his. Zabrina has confirmed that just now. Do you know that Zabrina's current movie is also invested by him?" Julia was envious.
"What?" Her boyfriend was shocked. Movie investments? This was not something that ordinary people could pull off. "What? If he's so rich, why didn't he drive just now?"
"Honey, he must have a Rolls-Royce or a sports car and some sort. By the way, Honey, why don't you buy a sports car?" Julia looked forward to it.
"Are you out of your mind? How can I afford it?" He shook his head. This car belonged to his father, and he could only drive it out occasionally to show off.
"Fine, don't buy then. Why are you scolding me?" Julia was dissatisfied, "Look at Chuck, he is wealthy and possesses such a good character. Just now when we talked about him like that, he didn't even refute..."
"D*mn it. If he's so nice, go to him!" Her boyfriend was very angry to hear her say that.
"I wanted to. I asked for his contact just now, but he didn't give it to me," Julia said as the words slipped her tongue.
"You!" He was furious at her shamelessness. He raised his hand and gave Julia a slap, "Get out!"
Julia felt wronged. How could he still have such a big temper when he wasn't even as rich?
Later that day, Chuck came home in his car. When he opened the door with the key, he saw Yvette sitting on the sofa. "Hubby, are you back? I have something to ask you."
