Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations

Jeremy's sudden kowtow left the room in stunned silence, everyone frozen as they tried to process what they had just witnessed. Lady Madison's secretary was the first to crack, bursting into laughter. "Jeremy,"he said between chuckles, "you're too kind sometimes. You always take things overboard!"

Lady Madison let out a soft laugh, shaking her head in disbelief. "Honestly, Jeremy," she said, her tone amused,

"what is this all about now?"

None of them couldn't understand what was going on, but it looked funny to them, and for some reason they were still smiling.

Jeremy, still kneeling, turned his head slightly toward Ethan.

"Well, big brother Ethan," he said, his voice tinged with exaggerated formality.

"can I stand now?"

However Ethan's expression remained calm, he knows Jeremy was up to something, however what ever it was he's always ready for him.

At that moment a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

"Of course," he replied smoothly. "Our bet is over now."

That statement drew a collective gasp from the room.

"A bet?" Lady Madison's secretary asked, his laughter halting abruptly. Her eyes darted between the two men.

"Wait… this was a bet?"

At that moment he gaze at Jeremy, with the look on his face one would tell he was happy with what he just heard.

He was supposed to be building a close friendship with Ethan, he couldn't believe he had decided to this.

However for some reason, he could feel Jeremy wants to use this method.

they are young man anything can be overlooked.

Even Lady Madison looked surprised, her gaze narrowing slightly. "I thought you were just trying to be funny, not knowing it was this serious" she said, her curiosity piqued.

Jeremy stood, brushing himself off with a faint smirk. "Trust me," he said, his tone dry, "I wasn't trying to be funny."

The room buzzed with murmurs as everyone tried to piece together the story, their earlier amusement now laced with intrigue.

At that moment Lady Madison's sharp eyes turned to Ethan, her curiosity evident. "Ethan," she said, her tone calm but probing, "what's this bet about?"

However Ethan glanced at Jeremy, his expression composed, but there was a glimmer of mischief in his eyes.

without being told he knows it he tell lady Madison the whole thing in detail she might be so mad at Jeremy, which he doesn't want for now.

"I could tell you," he replied evenly, "but only if Jeremy allows me to."

Upon hearing what Ethan just said.

Jeremy's posture stiffened instantly, a flicker of panic crossing his face. He knew exactly what Lady Madison's reaction would be if she heard the full details. Clearing his throat, he quickly interjected.

"It's nothing serious, Mother. Just… something between men."

At that moment Lady Madison arched a skeptical brow, clearly not convinced but letting it slide for the moment.

"Something Between men?" she repeated, her tone carrying a hint of amusement and exasperation.

Immediately Jeremy nodded firmly, forcing a confident smile.

"Exactly. Nothing you need to worry about."

At that moment Ethan smirked faintly, saying nothing more as Lady Madison looked between them, her suspicion lingering but choosing not to press further.

At that moment Lady Madison dismissed the meeting she was having and decided to go have dinner with the boys, it's getting late already.

Not long after the family gathered around the grand dining table, the atmosphere light as they shared stories and laughter over the lavish spread.

Jeremy was his usual animated self, while Ethan remained calm, occasionally responding to questions but mostly observing the dynamic.

Lady Madison, as poised as ever, watched the two with a subtle smile, her thoughts unreadable.

After dinner, Lady Madison excused herself, retreating to her private quarters.

Once inside, she closed the door and sat at her desk, her expression shifting from the warmth of the dining room to a more thoughtful, serious demeanor.

Picking up a file on her desk, she skimmed through it, her sharp eyes catching every detail.

At that moment her phone buzzed, and she glanced at the message that had just come in. It was an update on what Jeremy and Ethan had been up to throughout the day.

As she read, her eyebrows drew together, a faint furrow forming on her usually composed face.

Setting the phone down, she let out a quiet sigh and picked it back up. This time, she scrolled to her contacts and tapped on a number. The line rang once before a voice answered.

"Madam Madison,"

the lawyer greeted formally.

"I need to make some changes to my will," Lady Madison said, her tone firm and decisive.

"Yes, of course," the lawyer responded quickly.

"Shall we schedule a meeting, or would you like to begin now?"

Lady Madison's gaze lingered on the message on her phone as she replied.

"We'll start now."

At that moment Lady Madison paused, her pen hovering over the notepad on her desk.

After a brief silence, she spoke again into the phone, her voice softer this time.

"I've found my grandson,"

she said, as though the words carried a weight only she could understand.

Outside her room, the faint creak of the floor betrayed a presence. His secretary stood just beyond the door, his hand poised to knock, but he froze at her words. He leaned slightly closer, his curiosity piqued, but stopped himself from entering as her voice carried through the room.

Meanwhile, in another part of the estate, Ethan lay stretched out on his bed, the room dimly lit by the glow of his phone on the nightstand.

He stirred slightly as a notification buzzed, the sound cutting through the quiet time. He reached for the device, his eyes narrowing slightly as he read the message.

[ My father's okay now,]

the message began, followed by another.

[ He wants to see you personally to thank you.]

At that moment Ethan exhaled softly, his thoughts shifting. He placed the phone back on the table, staring at the ceiling as he considered what the meeting might entail.
