Mommy 325
Chapter 325
However, Kamryn had no idea about it. She, at this moment, was still immersed in the condemnation of herself, feeling frustrated. Charlie didn't know what she was thinking. In his eyes, she furrowed her brows, making herself look like an old woman, her shoulders drooped in a low spirit, as if she had sunk into a gray world. Even though he claimed to be smart, he didn't understand what was wrong with her.
She was just talking excitedly about going to buy clothes, but in the blink of an eye, she suddenly became depressed. That dejected and aggrieved expression of hers seemed to indicate that she had suffered a great blow. A woman's heart was like a needle in the sea, hard to figure out! He finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
With a soft sigh, he reached out his hand and flicked the tip of her nose, saying, "Look at me, little pumpkin!" "Ouch!" Kamryn snorted lightly, covered her nose, and looked at him discontentedly. "Why did you flick my nose?" Her nose was very sensitive. Charlie's gentle flick had reddened the tip of her nose which was now like a small red fruit. Quite cute! Charlie asked her what she was thinking so deeply.
She threw a silent glance at him and answered, "Not big deal, It was just that I suddenly felt... that I'm such a spendthrift!" This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
"Spendthrift?" Charlie raised his eyebrows and joked, "Why do you think so?" "I broke a lot of your clothes. I didn't know they were handmade and couldn't be washed with water. Now that I get to know it, I feel like... it's such a waste of money!" Kamryn furrowed her lips, looked at him, and asked in injured tones, "Do you also think l'm a spendthrift?"
"No." "Really?" "Yes." Charlie's answer enabled Kamryn to form a smile, but it disappeared soon. She questioned dejectedly, "Are you comforting me? How could you not think so? Those clothes are all very expensive!" Anyway, she was extremely distressed.
She felt a dull pain in her heart. Upon hearing this, Charlie couldn't help but laugh out loud. Kamryn looked at him in confusion, "What are you laughing at?" Charlie asked in response, "How much do you think the most expensive cloth would cost?" Kamryn paused for a moment. After thinking for a while, she replied uncertainly, "Around... several millions of dollars?"
Although she was born in a rich and powerful family, she did not have luxury habits due to her personal experience. The most expensive dress she knew was a custom-made Dior dress worn by a famous movie queen on a red carpet. It amazed the audience and was said to be priced at more than 800 thousand dollars. Such a tremendous figure! It was almost equivalent to a profitable small business! It would be very expensive for celebrities to wear a prestigious dress worth hundreds of thousands or two million dollars when attending important events.
After all, dresses were not as expensive as jewelry. A cloth cost several millions of dollars, which was the limit that Kamryn could imagine. She couldn't even think of a higher price. It was striking enough... Charlie continued to ask with a faint smile, "Do you know how long it takes for me to earn 20 million dollars?" "Uh..." Kamryn tried to recall an article on the profits of the Glorise Consortium reported in financial news, and thought about the shares owned by Charlie. She then raised a finger and guessed, "A month?" She thought that a monthly income of over 20 million dollars was already quite impressive, and it should be worthy of Charlie's identity! Even for the world's top billionaires in Forbes' rankings, what was their total value?
Only a handful of people could earn more than 20 million dollars a month!
As an invisible billionaire, Charlie's personal assets were not disclosed to any institutions, so he had never been on the list.
The same went for the other members of the Franco family. They were well hidden from the public, low-key and unpredictable. Charlie raised his eyebrows after Kamryn answered, "Am I that poor in your eyes?" That... poor?! Kamryn was startled at the time, her body trembling and her mouth wide open!
A person with a monthly income of over 20 million dollars was poor?! Oh Jesus!
Throughout her lifetime, she would have heard someone say that a person with a monthly income of over 20 million dollars was poor! It was really rare and shocking! Kamryn felt unconvinced about it! So she widened her eyes and asked, "How long will it take for you to earn that money?"
Charlie smiled and closed his eyes. One, two, three... Ten seconds passed. He opened his eyes and said, "Okay, l've made 20 million dollars." Kamryn didn't know how to respond. After three seconds of being stunned, she widened her eyes and responded angrily, "Are you kidding me?!"
How could he possibly earn 20 million dollars in just a few seconds! She didn't believe it at all. "Kidding?" Charlie said flatly, "Do you want me to show you the financial
report?" Kamryn choked for a moment and suddenly became a bit hesitant. But she still couldn't believe that someone could earn 20 million
dollars in ten seconds. So she waved her hand and said very toughly, "Okay! If you can prove it, I'll give you 100 dollars!" Charlie gave her a glance, replying, "100 dollars are not attractive to me." "Excuse me?" "What can I buy for 100 dollars?"
He curled his lips into a faint smile, "So, this bet won't work." Kamryn twitched her mouth and complained, "Charlie, you are such an arrogant wealthy person!"
How could anyone think that 100 dollars were too little! Unbelievable! Charlie snorted coldly and narrowed his eyes unhappily. "So what? You don't like wealthy people?" "I didn't mean it!"
Kamryn rolled her eyes in no good mood. She thought that she was unable to continue this topic, so she said back to the original topic. "Stop talking about this. Let me see, Eugene has never worn clothes bought from outside since he was born. Is it real?" "Yes."
"Why?" Kamryn thought of a possibility and asked worriedly, "Is it because his resistance is too weak and the clothes sold outside are not clean?" By not clean, she didn't refer to the stains on the clothes sold outside, but that the new cloths would inevitably come into contact with people and the air, and be contaminated with some dust and bacteria when they were sold in the mall after being made. The dust and bacteria were invisible to the naked eye.
However, for Eugene with a weak physique, a slight lack of attention could lead to danger. Surprised by her sensitivity and attention, Charlie nodded lightly. "This is one of the reasons, but not the main one."
Since Eugene was a child, everything related to him, including clothes, toys, and daily necessities, would be disinfected every day. Charlie had specially set up a sterile ward at home with a full set of medical disinfection equipment, and there were specially-assigned people in charge to ensure nothing went wrong. Kamryn was also aware of these things, so she curiously asked,
"So what's the main reason?"
"The tailored clothes are more suitable for Eugene." Charlie explained briefly, "Eugene used to live in the sterile ward for a long time with a small range of activities. In order to facilitate the examination, he could only wear specially customized clothes."
