Robin watched Jonah, still basking in his joy, utterly unaware of the harsh truth looming over him.

He hesitated, reluctant to break the news just yet-let the man savor his happiness a bit longer.

Jonah had a loyal heart, and Robin could only hope he be strong enough to withstand the pain of betrayal,

especially from the woman he'd once risked everything to protect. The brutal truth was always hard to face.

For someone who trusted others so completely, hurt was inevitable.

Jonah, beaming, raised his glass, "Mr. Ramsey, you helpedsave Infinity Tower-and because of that, | was able

to keep my family together!

"I swear, I'm the luckiest man alive.

"Luckiest to have met you, my greatest benefactor, and happiest to have such a gentle, loving wife like Leigh,

"Sometimes | wonder, what did | ever do to deserve all this?

"| ought to get on my knees and toast you!

"You've giveneverything, Mr. Ramsey,

"At the alumni event, | stood up there like a real man-all thanks to you!

"If Leigh were here, we'd toast you together.

"And hey, if you ever have time, you should cby. Leigh's an amazing cook!"

Jonah, a bit tipsy now, dropped to his knees and downed his drink in a single gulp.

Seeing his genuine joy, Robin lifted his own glass. "Getup, Jonah. I'll take this toast from you."

Just then, Jonah's phone started buzzing.

He ignored it, letting it ring.

But it rang again immediately after.

The phone kept ringing, the sound slicing through the cozy atmosphere with a grating persistence.

Jonah finally picked up, ready to dismiss it, but paused when he saw it was the school calling.

He gave Robin and the others an apologetic smile. "Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Wright, Ms. Cross, please go ahead and

start without me. It's the alumni association-I'll just step out."

He moved to a quieter corner and answered.

"Gillian, what's going on? You're saying my donation hasn't com

That can't be right-1 asked my wife to transfer the 200 million to the school over ten days ago. Could you check

again?"

A tense voice replied on the other end. "We've checked several times, Mr. Ferguson. There's nothing.

The alumni office has contacted Leigh multiple times but she keeps dodging us, saying the money's already

transferred.

"But we still haven't seen it."

Jonah frowned, baffled. That doesn't make any sense, Leigh wouldn't delay something like this-she cares about

her reputation. She wouldn't ignore it." Gillian's tone sharpened. "Mr. Ferguson, where are you right now? We

need to talk in person."

Jonah glanced back at the table, looking slightly embarrassed. "Gillian. I'm with simportant guests- it's really

not a good time.

"I can cby this afternoon to sort this out in person

That's not good enough, she cut in, coldly, "You owe us 200 million. Mr. Ferguson, and if it's not in our account

immediately, we're going to have a problem

"Is it really that urgent?" he replied, trying to keep his frustration in check.

"After lunch, I'll double-check everything. If the money still hasn't gone through, I'll make sure it's in the school's

account by tomorrow."

"Not acceptable! You signed a donation contract, Mr. Ferguson.

"The school granted you a title, gave you status. You can't just back out on the donation now, can you?

"Now you're risking our trust-and it's starting to look like fraud. Are you turning into a deadbeat?" "Fraud? No,

that's not possible!" Jonah could feel Gillian's anger through the phone.

"Gillian, that's absurd. I've always been honorable with my finances-I've never owed anyone anything, let alone

defrauded them.

"Let alone defrauding someone, or being labeled a deadbeat. That's going too far!

"That's not what you said when we visited you in Harmonfield.

"You toldto go ahead and sign the contract and that | could transfer the money whenever | had it, said the

school wasn't in a hurry.

"It's only been ten days-I didn't say | was going to keep delaying. How did this turn intobeing called a

deadbeat?

"Maybe there was an issue with the transfer. I'll look into it this afternoon, and | give you my word, the funds will

be in the school's account by tomor

embarrassed over this."

Gillian's voice grew sharper. Jonah, you're still making excuses, aren't you? Don't you think that's a bit

unethical?"

The school has already given you the recognition, added you to the notable alumni list. You've gained the fame,

and now you don't want to pay? Is that right?

"This year, the school required each donor to give at least 500 million to be listed on the alumni honor page.

You only pledged 200 million, and we still put your picture up there. You should be grateful for that-so how could

you sign the contract and then not send the money?

"Isn't this disrespectful to your alma mater?"

Jonah sighed. "Gillian, please, a little respect when you talk to me.

"I would never deceive the school-my alma mater raised me, and I'm genuinely grateful for all it's done.

"| feel a real sense of belonging here."

"Well, if you're that grateful, remember it," Gillian shot back, her tone icy.

"You have one hour to transfer the funds. Otherwise, the school will take legal action."

Jonah blinked, stunned. "Legal action? Gillian, you can't be serious. It's not like I'm refusing. I'm not about to

make trouble over this.

"Where are you right now? We're coming to you now, she pressed, ignoring his protests.

"The school's leadership has asked
