"Pil Hahaha... I can't!" Talia burst out laughing, nearly choking on her crab.
"Mr. Ferguson, this is huge! You've run into a real high-Q extortionist today. 46%

"They're asking for 200 million just to hang up a photo in the alumni honor section and let you share your success story with some younger students.
"If you're a day late, they're threatening to sue, and overnight you went from a 'distinguished alum' to a deadbeat! This is wild, seriously-your story's like a thriller!"
Jonah gave an awkward smile and said, "Ms. Gross, please don't say that. This is still my alma mater, and these are my fellow alumni. Let's not let things get too hostile between us. "Gillian, why don't you
all sit down and join us? In a few more minutes, my wife should be able to take my call. I'll ask her what happened.
Gillian scoffed. Jonah, don't think a meal is going to bribe me. Call your wife right now and ask her why she hasn't transferred our money!"
Aflash of anger crossed Jonah's face, but he swallowed it, reminding himself that this was his alma mater. "If you don't want to eat, that's fine. Just sit down and wait. My wife is with my daughter at her tutoring session, so it's not convenient for her to take a call right now. Just ten more minutes.
Gillian sneered. "Typical deadbeat talk! Stalling, making every excuse possible!"
Jonah shook his head. "Gillian, you're really crossing a line here.
"You keep calling me a deadbeat-what do you take me for?"
Gillian replied with contempt, "Isn't that exactly what you are? Jonah, you signed the donation contract 15 days ago, and not a single cent has made it into the school's account!"
"You heard the legal advisors read out the law earlier. What you're doing is criminal!
"Not paying isn't just a violation of the law; it's a betrayal of your alma mater!
"People need to learn to be grateful!
"Your alma mater trained you, turned you into a valuable member of society, and this is how you repay it -with deception?
"Don't think that just because you have money now, it's all because of your own hard work.
"If it weren't for the education you received, do you really think you'd have the skills to build this career and earn so much?
"When we first asked you to donate, you made excuses and claimed you didn't have much to spare.
I made four or five trips to Harmonfield and practically wore out my voice before you reluctantly agreed to give 200 million!

"With all the money you have, you're only donating this little? Is that really showing sincerity to your alma
mater?
"If I had that kind of money, I'd give it all to the school, no strings attached-that's how you show gratitude for what the school did for you!" Jonah's face turned pale with anger, and he couldn't get a word out.
Robin raised an eyebrow, then said coldly, "What the hell are you talking about? Jonah pledged 200 million-why would he need to scam you? "And even if he had billions, what does that have to do with you?
"Where were you all when he was at rock bottom a few months ago, barely holding his family together?
"Now that he's back on his feet, you want to claim it's all thanks to you?
"You're disgusting. Acting like some self-righteous saint-you're trash.
Jonah's told you a dozen times already: there must be some kind of misunderstanding, and he'll have the money transferred by tomorrow. This is a huge sum-give the man a chance to sort it out. Or is it that you've never seen money before?
"One more word out of line, and I'll have you thrown out!"
The room fell silent.
Gillian, who prided herself as an intellectual and a social elite, had always been treated with respect in her position at the school.
She carried herself with a sense of superiority, right down to her toes.
She'd never been talked to like this before, and Robins words left her momentarily stunned.
Seeing Robin's anger, Jonah quickly tried to calm him down. "Mr. Ramsey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you
to get upset
Robin pointed at Gillian. "Get out. Take your people and leave.
Jonah said he'll transfer the 200 million by tomorrow afternoon, so it'll be done by tomorrow afternoon.
"All this talk about fraud, lawsuits, and debt collection-who the hell owes you anything? Get out!"
Jonah looked uneasy. "Mr. Ramsey..."
"Don't say a word!" Robin snapped. "What a bunch of useless garbage."
A perfectly nice lunch ruined by a few pests!
He turned back to Gillian and added, "You haven't contributed a demn thing, but you act like some high-and-mighty intellectual, looking down on people and judging them. Where do you get this sense of superiority?" 16:36 Mon, Dec 2 GB G

"You... you dare insult me?" Gillian was almost beside herself with rage.
"Oh, I dare. And I'll insult trash like you all I want, Robin replied coldly.
"You dare humiliate me like this? I'll sue you!" Gillian Shouted, pointing angrily at Robin.
"Sue me? You don't have the standing for that, Robin scoffed.
Freya glanced at Jonah, seeing how troubled he looked.

She stood up and said. "Ma'am, I think it would be best not to escalate this. What was originally a win-win situation doesn't need to turn into a mess for both sides.
"Why don't you go back? I'll personally vouch for Mr. Ferguson-by tomorrow evening, the 200 million will be in the school's account."
"And who the hell are you to vouch for anything? Do you even have the authority to make that promise!" Gillian, furious, yelled at Freya.
Then she stormed over to the table, pointing at the spread of food. "Jonah, look at you, wasting money on this fancy meal instead of paying back the school! And you're hanging out with these low-class women Smack! A sharp slap landed across Gillian's face.
Talia had struck her. "Who are you calling low-class, you loudmouth?"
"You.. you dared to hit me?" Gillian was stunned, completely unable to process that anyone would actually hit her.
Freya simply shook her head and sat back down.
Talia stepped forward. "What if I did? I graduated and was out fighting criminals by the time I was 18. I could take down a whole squad of scumbags like you!!
Gillian held her cheek, her eyes flashing with rage.
"Fine! Let's see how tough you are. I'm calling the school leadership right now, calling my uncle, and calling the police!
Do you even know who my unc. My uncle is Desmond Osbornel"
Robin shook his head. "Go ahead and call them. Nobody here is going anywhere?
Jonah let out a long sigh. "Mr. Ramsey, I'm sorry... this is all my fault
Robin replied coolly, "Yes, Jonah, it is your fault.
"Your biggest weakness is that you're too sentimental, too trusting.
"This isn't the kind of situation where you can act purely on feelings.
Any decision made out of irrationality or impulse is bound to be a mistake."
Jonah looked resigned. They're my alumni. I never expected things to spiral into this."
