Instant Millionaire -
Chapter 41 Not Her But Me
What Mr. Amir said later was no longer concerned by Quincy.
He felt that he was really unlucky. Why did heaven play such a big joke on him, especially when he needed the identity of a wealthy heir so much?
"Quincy, are you done with the call? Aren't you trying to prove to us that you are rich? Where is the evidence? Is there no one to act with you?" When Vicky saw Quincy's expression, she was feeling so happy inside.
The others started to turn on their chattering mouths again. Highly insulting words came gushing out at Quincy like a cannonball!
At this point, Quincy really had no choice. He could only look at others angrily.
"Quincy... "Jane looked at Quincy and whispered with eyes were filled with tenderness and worry. Quincy did not say anything; his face was serious as he was trying to think quickly in his mind. "Quincy, please hand over the rest of the stolen money quickly. Otherwise, we'll send you to the police station!" The teacher from moral education office once again pressured Quincy. "Yes, let him go to jail."
"I don't think he will admit until he's in trouble! He'll be honest if you take this matter to the police."
Quincy wanted to speak up, but his account was now partially frozen. Clutching tightly onto Jane's hand, the corners of his eyes darted slightly.
"Do it. Send him to the police station!" The teacher from moral education office shouted. It seemed to be impossible even to give Quincy a chance. A few anxious boys were about to rush towards Quincy. "Don't arrest him. I'm the one who took the money!" At this moment, Jane shouted loudly.
The ward was quiet instantly. Everyone's eyes were all focused on Jane.
"How could it be you, Jane? Don't be silly!" Ms. Kadence, who was on the hospital bed, looked at Jane is disbelief.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Kadence, for failing to live up to your expectations of me. For that, I apologize to you. I stole the phone and took the money from the card. I did everything myself. My family is too poor, so I'm sorry..."
"Did you really do it all by yourself? You don't have to cover up for Quincy," the teacher from moral education office questioned.
Jane waved Kadence's phone, "You see, I have Ms. Kadence's phone with me. If I hadn't been caught by Vicky on the spot today, I wouldn't have admitted. Escaping with 2 million is no small crime. Why would I be stupid enough to take the blame for someone else?"
As if that was indeed the case, Jane's words had everyone else temporarily cheated.
"In that case, you should come with us to the police station!" The teacher from moral education office grabbed Jane's clothes and was about to walk out.
As she was leaving, Jane glanced at Quincy. Her eyes were persistent and determined. She didn't want him to suffer injustice when he was at a loss of what to do, so she preferred to take the blame herself. Although she did not know how to raise the missing two million and may face a severe punishment at this moment, Jane did not have trace of fear. On the contrary, she remained calm.
At this moment, Quincy was not able to calm down. He did not expect that Jane, who has always been weak, would choose this way to protect him.
On top of the shock, he also felt Jane's intense love for him.
How could Quincy be willing to let Jane take the blame for him?
When he saw that shocking glimpse of Jane, Quincy blamed himself and felt guilty. As a man, should he let a woman protect him? That is not his style!
"Jane, stop covering up for me!" Quincy said with a faint smile as he looked at Jane. It was his lifetime fortune to have such a woman.
Jane was startled, not understanding what Quincy was saying.
"What do you mean?" The teacher from moral education office asked. He considered Quincy's words twice and said, "You're saying she's lying and that you are actually the one who took the 2 million?" "Would you believe me if I said it wasn't me? Aren't you here to assume that I am?" Quincy asked rhetorically.
"HaHa... you finally admitted it. I knew that this girl wouldn't do such a thing" Vicky pointed her finger at Quincy. "No, he's lying. It's all me..." Jane knew that Quincy was trying to protect her.
"Jane, don't be silly. I planned all this. I took away 2 million of Ms. Kadence's money. I took the initiative to approach you only to fence the stolen goods. The purpose was to spend as much money as possible on you. Later, I realized that spending money is still too slow, so I decided to donate 1 million ...
"No. Why are you confessing when I've already admitted it? You're obviously lying."Jane shook her head slightly. Just hearing her words, everyone else understood that Jane wasn't the one who stole the money.
"Ha," Quincy even looked relaxed and laughed, "You're too naive, how long do you think you'll be able to hide it when you get to the police station? Since it's already a dead end for me now, why should I be more negative?"
Jane was startled. She could not refute Quincy's words.
"Quincy, did you really do this? So you intend to use me at the beginning?" Tears welled up in Jane's eyes. To her, Quincy cheating on her feelings was more painful than having to go to jail. "I'm sorry," Quincy's eyes flickered slightly.
Just as Quincy said it, tears slid down Jane's face. It was as if she had lost all her strength; a breath of air could blow her over.
"Jane, are you okay...?" asked Quincy with concern as he reached out to help her.
"Scram! You liar!" said Jane fiercely while slapping Quincy's face. She looked at him tearfully. Her mouth kept murmuring, "Why did you lie to me? Why did you lie to me..."
Jane stared at Quincy fiercely and ran out of the ward quickly with tears in her eyes. Quincy was startled to see Jane's back as she left.
Jane had underestimated Quincy's feelings for her. She could take the blame for Quincy, couldn't Quincy do the same?
"Quincy, I thought you were true to Jane. I didn't expect you were trying to use her. Luckily, I dumped you early!" Vicky was taunting Quincy, and the surrounding students were saying all sorts of hurtful things. However, Quincy couldn't listen to anything else at this moment. His soul had already left together with Jane. He only hoped that the silly girl, Jane, wouldn't do anything stupid.
Now that the truth was revealed, all of the school's leaders came to the hospital. After several leaders' joint discussion and Kadence's plea, considering that 1.13 million of the stolen money had already been recovered, they were all aware that once this matter spread out, there will be a bad impact towards JM University.
In the end, it was unanimously decided that the police would not be notified, but Quincy would only have five years to return the money he owed.
After the agreement, everyone dispersed.
When Quincy returned to school alone, it was already 11:30 at night. He wanted to call Jane to ask her about the situation. But in the end, Quincy didn't. Quincy was still incapable of resolving this matter, and he can't confess to Jane even if he does.
He should just give her some time to calm down.
When they returned to the dormitory, Milo and the others also heard about Quincy's situation and were worried about him. However, Quincy assured them not to worry about him. He was just too tired and all he wanted was to sleep well.
The next day when Quincy woke up, it was already 10:30 am. His phone rang. It was the cheering team captain, Carlotta calling.
"Quincy, why did you pick up my phone so late? My cousin is free today. I have already made an appointment with her for you. Come and have lunch with her at the Central Emporium at noon today. Clean yourself up before you come."
"Carlotta, why didn't you tell me beforehand? I don't want to go today." after all that happened yesterday, Quincy really wasn't in the mood.
"Hey, when do I have to report to you for everything I do? It's fine if you don't come, just you wait," Carlotta said and hung up the phone.
Quincy did promise Carlotta to help her cousin last time. He was a very trustworthy person. Since the 2-million-problem can't be solved now, he mustn't get too tangled up. He should just go and have a look at Carlotta's side first.
Quincy got up and washed up at once, then quickly ran to the Central Emporium.
At this time in Central Emporium, Carlotta was sitting under the umbrella, drinking lemon juice with Lacey. Carlotta arrogantly hung up the phone with Quincy.
"What? Does he not want to come?" Lacey asked with some concern.
"Can he? Don't you worry, cousin. He will definitely come. If he dares not to come, I'll teach him a lesson!" Carlotta said confidently.
Lacey's felt more relieved as she sucked in a mouthful of lemon juice. Her eyes were aimed at Carlotta.
Carlotta still had this overbearing attitude towards Quincy. This meant that she still had no clue about his status as a rich heir. This was great because she would have one less tough rival to deal with. "Cousin, do you know what can this loser, Quincy do that you can't imagine?" Thinking about that day at Shrimp King, Carlotta wanted to laugh.
"What's wrong?" Lacey was particularly interested in Quincy's news.
"He was asking for money in front of the restaurant! It's the begging kind, not to mention how disgusting it is..." Carlotta told Lacey the situation of that day in detail.
"Yes, he's really a loser." Lacey echoed. Of course, she didn't believe in her heart that Quincy was really asking for money in front of the restaurant. She guessed that Carlotta must have misunderstood Quincy Didn't she treat Quincy as a poor loser when she first met him herself?
"But this loser surprised us after that. He actually came in a Benz G!" Carlotta looked into Lacey's eyes and said.
"Cough" Lacey choked instantly, "What? He came in a Benz G?"
Lacey wasn't surprised by the Benz G. It's normal for a person who can activate a Supreme Card in Citibank to drive a Benz G, isn't it? She was afraid that Carlotta would learn from this that Quincy was an incredibly wealthy person!
"HaHa...cousin, you looked surprised. Did you really think that that loser, Quincy is a wealthy person?" Carlotta laughed happily, "No, I asked Ciel specifically after that. Ciel told me that it wasn't Quincy's car. Quincy drove someone else's car. He was just pretending to be rich."
"Is that so? You are indeed brilliant to realize that at a glance." Lacey was relieved. Luckily, Carlotta did not suspect.
"That's not it. Quincy is an extreme loser. I know it's not his car even by thinking with my thumb." said Carlotta confidently. But that day, someone was actually chasing after Quincy's car, crying out to let Quincy give her a ride.000
