Chapter 450

Even though Charlotte looked sad, everyone could tell she was trying to show off.

Sophie asked excitedly, " Invest in major companies? Which major companies?"

Charlotte sighed." Just some random companies called Zabinski Group, Zabel Group, and The Treasure Trove. You know, I have some capital but have no time to manage them while attending school. So, I plan to invest in their companies and earn some pocket money."

The rest of the people at the table widened their eyes when they heard this.

They might not have heard about Zabel Group and The Treasure Trove, but almost everyone in Yrinas knew about Zabinski Group.

Sophie was even more exaggerated. She opened her mouth wide and said, " Oh my gosh! Investing in Zabel Group? How much capital do you have?"

" Billions of dollars." Charlotte looked nonchalant.

" Billions of dollars!" Sophie swallowed.

" Charlotte, you' re insane! Billions of dollars! Gosh! That's a dream I would never dare dream about!"

Hearing that, Robert immediately thought of Perennial Financial Group. He didn't believe Charlotte was speaking without reason. Unless she lacked common sense entirely, she would not casually bring up billions of dollars. It was just that he was unclear about what the relationship was between Charlotte and Perennial Financial Group.

Robert was well aware that although the news about Perennial Financial Group had leaked out, not everyone knew about it. To put it simply, the people who were aware of this news generally had some background.

" Insane! This is insane! Billions of dollars! You' re at the pinnacle of your life!" Sophie kept flattering Charlotte. Then, she looked at Robert and warned, " Did you hear that? Now that Charlotte has a fortune of billions of dollars, please don't casually bring up past matters and joke with her about them. If this matter spreads and causes any consequences, can you handle the responsibility?"

" Hey, what's with your sharp tongue, little girl?" Shelby couldn't bear it anymore." What's lacking about Robert? Are billions of dollars really that

much?"

Shelby heard that the highway donated by Robert was worth more than hundreds of millions of dollars.

From Shelby's perspective, she couldn't see how the donation of this highway benefited Zabinski Group. All she saw was that Robert casually donated hundreds of millions of dollars. She wondered why Charlotte was being so arrogant about having billions of dollars. Moreover, the truth of the matter was uncertain. Who knew if it was just bragging?

Sophie crossed her arms and said, " Haha, you' re cracking me up! Billions of dollars aren't that much? Why don't you show me the money? Forget it. Don't bother showing off your billions of dollars. If you indeed have that kind of wealth, why don't you pay for today's meal? Do you have the capability for that?"

Shelby fell silent immediately. She wouldn't let herself be provoked into impulsively offering to pay for the meal just because of a couple of taunting remarks. After all, this meal would easily cost a few hundred dollars.

" All right. Let's stop arguing." Charlotte sat there and waved her hand." We' re out of wine. Go and get two bottles. Everyone here today is an old

friend. It's rare for me to come back and gather with all of you."

" Okay, I' ll go and get them." Sophie hurriedly went out of the private room to get the wine. Soon, she brought back two bottles of red wine.

Robert asked Charlotte curiously, " Charlotte, what are the criteria for your investment?"

Sophie, who had just come back with the wine and sat down, immediately retorted after hearing Robert's words, "I can't believe you have the audacity to say that! What do billions of dollars have to do with you? Why are you asking about it?"

Charlotte didn't respond because she didn't know the investment criteria.

In fact, this matter had nothing to do with her. She was just the girlfriend of the secretary of the regional manager of Perennial Financial Group, and she had only heard about this incident.
