Son-In-Law Madness

Chapter 720

Jennifer was on the verge of shutting down the argument since Tracy and Theron still did not seem to understand that she was euphemistically declining the offer, but Donald suddenly spoke up.

“Actually, I'm pretty interested in the program you talked about. Do you think it's possible for me to join the training?”

“You?” Tracy scoffed in disbelief. “Didn't you hear what we just said? You're not qualified for it.”

With a nod, Donald accepted her answer but looked at the bank card in his hand before replying, “Well, I happen to have that amount of money in my bank set aside for self-improvement. Since you said that I'm not a suitable candidate, I suppose I'll have to spend this money elsewhere.”

“Hold on!” Theron chimed in. “How much did you say you have in that card?”

“One million and two hundred thousand.”

“One million and two hundred thousand? You mean you can pay right away?”

Donald pointed at the account number on the card and answered, “Yes. You can check it for yourself.”

Is he serious?

Theron took the card with his eyes shining in anticipation.

His original intention was to scam Jennifer. After all, she was Dragon Fide Corporation's CEO, but little did he expect Donald to be walking right into his trap.

Swiftly, Theron turned on his laptop and asked Donald to log in to his bank account. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

When Theron and Tracy beheld the balance in Donald's account, their jaws dropped to the ground in disbelief.

Three million and seven hundred and fifty grand! I can't believe this account has more than three million in it! Wait. Taking a million from him is too little. I should just pocket all the money here!

“So? Do you think I have enough to pay for the course?”

“Of course!” Theron exclaimed, returning the card to Donald reluctantly. Then, he continued unabashedly, “Donald, I'm so sorry for how I treated you. I've misjudged you.”

“What do you mean?” Donald asked with a half-hearted smile.

“I thought you were a hot-tempered person, but after looking at your bank account, I realized that your shortcoming is nothing compared to your strengths. Young as you are, you have accumulated enough wealth. This means that you're a person with plans and who knows how to manage your finances. More importantly, you prioritize self-enhancement over unnecessary buying and investing. This goes to show that you are aware that you yourself are your best investment—not other assets like houses or cars.”

Despite not having a high education level, Theron proved to be someone who had his way with words.

“Does this mean I'm eligible for the training program?”

“You are! If you pay now, I can make arrangements for your classes right now.”

Donald then said to Theron, “I'm not in a rush. I was captivated by the idea after listening to your explanation, but I haven't done my own research yet. For all I know, what you said might all be fake.”

Dang! We're this close to getting what we want. Why does he want to look into it all of a sudden?

Suppressing the nervousness in his heart, Theron remained calm as he said, “You're right. You should research more about what I said. After all, a lot of money is at stake. You have all the right to be careful.”

“When do you think is a good time for me to go over and check things out?”

“Now is as good a time as any,” Theron replied in all seriousness.

“Our company has a branch in Pollerton. I might not be able to bring you to the office, but I can definitely bring you to the warehouse for a visit. We can head over right now if you guys have nothing on your schedule.”

Theron's confidence took Donald by surprise, for he had assumed that Theron would back off if he asked to check out the company.
