Chapter 257
The internet was on fire about Charlie's luxurious proposal scene.
In the morning, the PR people from Clorise Consortium hit back at some of the trolls with hard evidence.
[Some netizens have been talking trash about Mr. Franco, so let's set the record straight. First, on charity, Mr. Franco has always been a generous giver. He's built schools for needy kids and helped our folks in the sticks. He dropped 10 mil dollars at this year's Basha Charity Night. The media didn't hype it up because Clorise Consortium thinks that charity is a no-brainer and there's no need to show off. Mr. Franco has shelled out 100 million dollars from his own stash. We can prove it But charity shouldn't be a guilt trip. Cut it out with the emotional blackmail. So, the claims that Mr. Franco is rich but heartless is bogus.
[Second, on the proposal, Mr. Franco put a lot of thought into it. He knows that love and marriage are not the same thing, and tying the knot means both love and commitment. The proposal ceremony was just to wow Ins hancer. He wanted to make up for the rough patches they had had in the past five years. They both experienced saying goodbye, and the flashy proposal was just to make a lasting impression on her. That's all there is to it. Nothing more, nothing less.
