Chapter 57 A Million
Chapter 57 A Million
Atlas said those words so calmly that others couldn't tell whether he was joking or not.
However, everyone in the room suddenly silent down and no one dared to speak.
Everyone suddenly felt that the temperature in the room had dropped.
No one dared to question his words.
They clearly knew that in Zuthana, killing people shall be punished with lives. If someone said he would
kill you, most of the time they didn't really mean it.
However, Atlas' words made no one doubt him.
It seemed that as long as Quintin said one more word, Atlas would really kill him.
Quintin was the first to bear the brunt. Looking at Atlas' icy eyes, his heart was actually trembling.
This was not what a 20-year-old young man should have. It might belong to a fierce beast that had
been hungry for eight days!
As expected, Quintin did not dare to say a word or even look at Atlas.
While everyone was silent, Georgie, who was next to Atlas, complained in a low voice, "Atlas, didn't I
tell you a long time ago? If you didn't have money, I would lend some to you. How could you come with
nothing?"
Atlas said indifferently, "I brought a gift."
"What is it? Tell them and make them give up!" Georgie said.
Atlas did not speak because no one would believe him.
At this moment, Zoee's mother, Lily suddenly came in.
"Atlas, did you give us this check?"
Lily held a check with both hands. She looked nervous and her fingers were shaking.
"A check?" "What's going on?"
Everyone looked at Atlas with suspicion.
If his name hadn't been on the check, Atlas would have denied it.
"Yes." Atlas admitted.
Lily blamed, "My dear, take it back quickly. This is not funny. Who would give one million bucks as a
gift?! Don't tell your parents about it!"
Zoee was dumbstruck, "Mom, wait a minute. How much did you say just now?"
Lily looked at Zoee and said seriously, "One million!"
"One million!"
The audience exclaimed, and then burst into a guffaw.
Quintin laughed and said, "Lily, is it a fake check made by a child with a piece of paper? It's just a toy!"
The others also showed contemptuous smiles. Everyone thought that the check must be fake.
"Mom, are you kidding me? Is it really a million dollars?" Even Zoee's voice was trembling as she
asked again.
Harvey sneered and asked scornfully, "Auntie, look carefully. Is the check fake?"
Lily glared at Harvey, then looked at Quintin and said, "I'm an accountant. Can't I recognize a check?"
"This check is a real cash check. You can go to the authorized bank to cash it at anytime."
What!
The mocking smile on everyone's faces froze.
It was impossible for an accountant to not even know the authenticity of the check. Since Lily Lee said
that the check was true, it must be true.
Quintin's face was full of shock. Although his assets had exceeded a hundred million, he wouldn't give
out a million so easily.
As for the others, their social status was much lower than Quintin. Not to mention a million, a thousand
was not a small sum for them.
Harvey was also shocked. He had always had a sense of superiority among his classmates because
he had several millions in his family. But now, Atlas casually gave him one-fifth of his total assets!
Just now, Harvey was complacent about giving Zoee a piece of Doig's authentic work.
He even used this to attack and humiliate Atlas.
He made great efforts in putting on a show with Hank that his throat almost went sour.
While Atlas, without saying a word, slapped him hard in the face.
Seeing that everyone didn't say a word, Hank came to his senses and exclaimed, "Impossible. Where
did Atlas Lincoln has a million? I don't believe it!"
Lily glanced at him and said coldly, "If Atlas doesn't have a million, he can't get a check book at all. This This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
is general knowledge!"
Hank's face immediately turned red. These kids had only seen a check on TV and movies. In real life,
they had no chance to see one at all.
After Lily's explanation, everyone had no doubt that Atlas could afford a million.
Georgie looked at Atlas in shock and asked, "Atlas, you won five million in the lottery? That's not right.
Even if you win five million, you can't bear to give me one million directly!"
Zoee looked at Atlas with a complicated look in her beautiful eyes, and her proud chest rose and fell
gracefully.
"He actually sent me a million as a gift. What does he mean? Does his wife know?"
Zoee was conflicted, Atlas's image had been deeply engraved in Zoee's heart ever since he saved her
from a few hooligans.
Later on, even though she knew that Atlas was already the son-in-law of the Sinclair family, Zoee could
not help but approach Atlas.
For no other reason than to talk to Atlas, Zoee was already very happy.
Now that Atlas had suddenly given her one million, Zoee could not help overthinking it.
Lily Lee walked to Atlas, handed him the check, and said seriously, "Take it back. I've discussed it with
Ken. We can't accept such an expensive present!"
Atlas looked at the check and had no intention of taking it. He said lightly, "Auntie, take this as my
support for Zoee's art career!"
"She is very talented. I look forward to her success in the future."
Lily insisted, "No, you have to take back the money."
Although Ken Aniston and his wife liked to make friends with rich and powerful people, which was
normal, they had their own principles.
Atlas shook his head slightly, "How can I take back what I gave out? If you don't want it, then throw it
away!"
Georgie's eyeballs almost fell out of his head. That's a million! How dared he throw it away! Prodigal!
Unforgivably prodigal!
Harvey's face looked even worse. He was so proud of himself after he gave a painting worth several
thousand. But Atlas could throw away a million at will. What's wrong with this world!
"Boy..." Lily didn't know what to say. Looking at Atlas who lowered his head and took a sip from his cup
quietly, Lily had to give the check to Zoee.
"You can persuade him. We can't accept such a valuable gift!"
Zoee nodded, "Mom, I understand. Don't worry. I'll persuade him!"
"Well, almost all the guests are here. Your dad and I will go greet them. You should take good care of
your classmates!" After saying that, Lily smiled at everyone and walked out of the door.
Zoee looked at Atlas, put the check in front of him and whispered, "Here, take it back!"
Atlas looked back at Zoee and said with a smile, "I told you already. If you don't want it, you can throw it
into the trash can."
“……”
Zoee was speechless. She thought Atlas was joking, but she didn't expect him to be serious.
"Atlas, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't accept so much money!"
Zoee's beautiful face was full of seriousness.
