Freddie hadn’t expected that the alumni office of his alma mater would contact him at this time.
Moreover, from Elaine’s tone, it seemed that the leaders in the academy had strong opinions about him.
If I didn’t see her now, I was afraid it would make things worse.
Had to send the location of Raindrop Hotel.
However, Elaine’s words to this extent annoyed him.
Today, I finally managed to find some time and wanted to have a meal with Mr. Bruce.
But this kind of thing spoiled the mood.
Robin was the greatest benefactor in his life.
It could be said, it was like having reborn parents.
At his most desperate moment, he was rescued from the abyss.
Everything I had today was given by Robin.
How embarrassing it would have been if Elaine had come over and made a fuss!
Why didn’t this girl from the school liaison office have any sense of

Wasn’t it just two hundred million? When have I, Freddie, ever deceived
them?!
alma mater, and even donated a deadbeat!
Donated money to my alma mater,
This sum of money should have already been in the school’s account.
How could the school not have received it?
Half a month ago, Elaine from the alumni association had contacted him several times..
Because all of my funds were tied up in some funds and investments, I couldn’t temporarily withdraw them.
However, Elaine called him almost every day, telling him to sign the donation contract first, and it was okay to transfer the funds later.
Later, seeing this young junior sister so enthusiastic.
The school leaders once again spoke with great care about the unforgettable years they spent at their alma mater. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Freddie was somewhat embarrassed.
Stella was to withdraw her two billion from a fund company and arrange a transfer to the school.
Among this, due to the early termination of the investment contract breach, a bonus of over ten million was lost.
Didn’t Stella really transfer the money to the school’s account?

At this time, Stella was tutoring her child.
Otherwise, I would immediately call Stella to confirm.
The alumni association of the province had a deep misunderstanding with itself.
“What’s wrong? Freddie, is there a problem?” Robin casually asked, looking at Freddie who was struggling in the living room.
Freddie was embarrassed and didn’t know how to bring up this matter to Robin.
“Is it about your donation issue?” Robin asked, noticing Freddie’s
unease.
“I just heard. Two hundred million hasn’t been transferred into the school’s account yet. Can we negotiate with them first and handle it tomorrow?”
Freddie gave a dry laugh, “The girl from the alumni office is too young, slightly rigid in her work.”
“She said she was going to handle it for the school today and would be over in a bit.”
“So urgent?” Nia frowned slightly, “Can’t even wait for a day? Without your two hundred million, your alma mater can’t survive?”
Rhonda was munching on a king crab, laughing as she said, “Mr. Strickland, did your alma mater specialize in training debt collectors?”
Freddie shook his head helplessly, “No, there might have been some

misunderstanding. This money was handled by my wife, Stella.”
“Stella was tutoring her daughter at this time, they would finish in about ten minutes. Contact her later and you’ll know what’s going on.”
“Mr. Bruce, I’m truly sorry. I originally wanted to invite you all to enjoy a meal happily, but I didn’t expect this kind of situation to occur…
Robin chuckled, “It’s okay, I’m also waiting for a friend anyway.”
“You had them come over, a face–to–face explanation should suffice, the school should be able to understand as well.”
“Bang, bang, bang,” a series of intense knocks on the door.
Freddie opened the door of the private room, and four people strode in aggressively from outside the room.
Leading the way was a tall woman. her face full of anger, “Mr. Strickland, what on earth is going on?”
“The donation contract has been signed for half a month, and the two hundred million donation hasn’t been transferred to our account! Did you plan this all along?!”
Freddie slightly furrowed his brow, shrugging apologetically at the three Robins, “Elaine, let me explain…”
“The funds didn’t reach the school’s account, what’s the point of your explanation!” The woman named Elaine snorted coldly.
“The school gave you a moment of glory, hanging your photo in the alumni celebrity column, and allowed you to give a successful sharing

speech in front of the school’s teachers and students.”
“Now, you’ve got your fame and profit, but you can’t keep failing to fulfill your promise of donation to us!”
Freddie took a deep breath, “Elaine, you have to let me explain the situation, right?”
“How could I possibly defraud my alma mater?”
“There might have been some misunderstanding here.”
“Today, I had some important guests here, and I hoped you could give me some time.”
“Can I assure my alma mater that, for whatever reason, I will have transferred this donation to the school’s account by tomorrow night?”
Elaine sneered, “Freddie, you corporate people, you’re so unreliable when it comes to talking.”
“These were two legal staff members from our school’s legal advisory office. Whatever you had, discuss it with them!”
“Within two hours, if you do not transfer two hundred million to the school’s account, the school will sue you!!”
Before Freddie could explain, a legal officer, holding a law book, immediately began to read aloud—
“Fraudulent donation was a criminal act.”
“Article 107 of the Civil Law of Londraland stipulated: Individuals, corporations, or other organizations that defraud property under the

guise of charity or by impersonating charitable organizations shall be investigated and dealt with by the police authorities in accordance with the law; if a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be pursued in accordance with the law…”
After two legal officers had finished reading a series of legal provisions, they sternly said, “Freddie, your deception of the school’s reputation and your influence in society is also a form of defrauding the school’s spiritual assets. Your actions have constituted a crime.“”
“Therefore, if you were unable to transfer the money to the school’s account within the stipulated time after negotiation, the school would sue you for your illegal and criminal behavior!”
“The judicial authorities will pursue criminal responsibility based on the school’s charges against you!”
“During this period, your personal property and bank accounts would have been seized for preservation, and high consumption and exit behaviors would have been restricted.”
Freddie laughed awkwardly twice. “What’s all this about? I sincerely donated to the school, how did I become a fraudster?”
“Didn’t I explain to you? I have a very important guest now. After lunch, I will sort out the matter of the transfer. The donation of two hundred
million will definitely be transferred to the school’s account before tomorrow night.”
“Did you guys make a mountain
out of a molehill by doing this?”
“After all, it’s my alma mater, just like my mother. Can’t such matters be resolved a bit more humanely?”

“If I were to be labeled a fraudster according to your words, it would be so awkward for us to meet in the future. How would other uninformed
alumni view me?”
Elaine shook her head in disdain, “You want fame, but you don’t want to pay. There’s no such good thing!”
“If you still want other alumni to think highly of you, transfer the donation to the school account immediately!”
