Chapter 277: Charity Gala
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Finn Taylor brought Kimberly Gold to a barbecue joint.
Because this was the first time the former was treating her to a meal, Kimberly Gold was over the moon and had quite a voracious appetite.
Halfway through the meal, Finn Taylor asked Kimberly Gold, “How is it? It’s good, right?”
“Yes, the things here are delicious.”
“I recently visited an orphanage, and the children there can’t even afford to eat fresh vegetables.”
Kimberly Gold was stunned.
She had grown up with a silver spoon. Although she knew that not everyone was as fortunate as her, it was the first time she had heard of anyone living the way Finn Taylor had described. Hence, she asked Finn Taylor to tell her more about Mercy Orphanage.
“Huh? 45,000 dollars? I’ll pay for it.” Kimberly Gold took out her card. “Grandpa handed the company over to me.”
Finn Taylor pushed the card back to her. “I wouldn’t be talking to you if it was just about 45,000 dollars. We can afford it too, but what will happen in a month’s time? Will the orphanage continue asking us for more money?”
“Sure, the Gold Corporation is loaded. We could definitely spare them 45,000 dollars a month.”
“But have you ever thought about how these children feel about asking for money every month?”
Kimberly Gold came to a sudden realization—she had never considered that. “What shall we do then? If we don’t give them any money, they’ll starve. But if we give them money, their dignity will be hurt!”
Finn Taylor chuckled. “I’ve already thought of a solution, and I wouldn’t have approached you otherwise. I’m thinking of creating a performance group in the orphanage. Our company can then work with you to organize some charitable events, and the profits will be split amongst all of us then. Not only will we be able to help them this way, but the children will also feel like they’re earning their own keep.”
Kimberly Gold was stunned. She had never expected Finn Taylor to come up with such a great idea. “That works, but I have a question.”
“I know what you’re going to say. Mercy Orphanage might not be famous, and they might not get a chance to perform even if we back them.”
Kimberly Gold nodded. That was indeed her worry.
“We’ll just have to pump some money in for now so that they can put up a few good performances. It’s up to them whether they succeed.”
Kimberly Gold smiled. “Since that’s the case, let’s just organize a gala together and invite them for a performance. We can invite all the top-tier families in San Francisco since it’ll be hard for just the two of our families to run this. The more people we involve, the better.”
Finn Taylor nodded in agreement. “Not bad. You seem to be using your brain much more nowadays.”
“Of course. Grandpa handed the company over to me, and I’ve managed it well.”
“Do you know why your grandpa handed it down to you?”
Kimberly Gold shook her head.?‘Everything had happened so suddenly. Had something happened to Grandpa for him to make such a sudden decision?’
Kimberly Gold had initially thought that her grandpa had fallen ill, so she even dragged him to the hospital to get a checkup done. Yet, the results showed that he was in good health and didn’t have any grave illnesses.
This made her even more suspicious.?‘Why did he make this decision out of the blue then?’
“When you go back home, tell your grandpa not to worry about the relationship between your family and mine.”
‘Third Master Gold has probably already guessed my true identity. After all, Frida Cameron had been to San Francisco, so Third Master Gold has to know of her even if his granddaughter doesn’t.’?Finn Taylor hoped that she would never learn of it.
Sometimes, it was better to remain ignorant. Being aware of certain things was more of a burden than anything else.
In fact, Finn Taylor hadn’t even told his wife about his identity. He wanted her to remain that lively and bubbly girl forever.
…
Very soon, news of the Larson family and Gold family organizing a joint charity gala spread throughout the city.
Many were in disbelief over it.
It wasn’t strange that a charity gala was being held. After all, many other influential families in San Francisco had held one too.
What was strange was that the Gold family and Larson family were organizing one together. One was the top family in San Francisco, while the other was the second.
This was insane.
It was hard for great men to get along with each other. Who would’ve thought that the two greatest families of San Francisco would work together?
Everyone had even thought that the Gold family would do their best to suppress the Larson family, which was recently on the rise.
They had even been prepared to watch a good show, yet they were disappointed and were instead given this charity gala.
Many families quickly expressed their interest in attending the gala. Now that the two most prominent families had joined forces, there’d be no question of who was in power in the San Francisco business circle from now on.
They could choose not to remain in the business circle. If they wanted to remain in it though, they would have to be lackeys of these two families.
…
The Gold family’s residence in San Francisco.
Third Master Gold glanced at the messages from the bosses of companies all over San Francisco, which expressed their interest in attending the gala.
“Grandpa, Finn had a message for you.”
Third Master Gold was in the middle of scrolling through his messages when his granddaughter cut in. He felt nervous all of a sudden. “What did he say?”
“He told you not to worry about our family’s relationship with his family.” Kimberly Gold’s gaze was filled with curiosity. “Grandpa, what does he mean?”
Third Master Gold was overwhelmed with emotions when he heard that.?‘I don’t have to worry. This means that Finn Taylor isn’t angry at me anymore.’?
“Nothing much. Don’t stress out over it.” Third Master Gold didn’t tell his granddaughter about Finn Taylor.
…
Willow Stone held a photo in her hand—it was one of Finn Taylor walking into Mercy Orphanage. “Heh, a charity gala. How interesting.”
Her expression turned dark. She then deleted all the photos she had taken with Yvette Larson from her phone. “Yvette, don’t blame me for being heartless.. I have no other choice.”
