Karen had never doubted her loved ones, and this time was no different.
She tried to calm herself down and though, "Stop overthinking. I should believe in the man whom I've chosen. He must have his reasons for not coming over."
Money was not a big deal. It was never a problem for her. She could get anything she wanted.
Karen stopped her imagination from running wild and called Betty.
"Transfer 100 million dollars into Chadrick's account!" Karen ordered.
In the United States, Karen had her own private bank. She could make the transfer with just a dial on her phone.
"Yes, President Lee," Betty obeyed as she tended to the matter immediately.
"President Lee, is there anything else??" said the stunned Betty. She was waiting for Karen to hang up the phone, but Karen had not hung up, and she could hear Karen's breathing.
"No, it's nothing. Just transfer the money," Karen hung up.
Betty looked at her phone with a puzzled expression, and her suspicion deepened. Recently, Chadrick had been spending money like running water, and he didn't treat Karen's money as money at all. Although Karen didn't mind it, his spending habit was worse than Chuck's bragging.
Betty knew her place. Thus, she kept her mouth shut. Although she could do so without any consequences and Karen wouldn't blame her, Betty hesitated, so she didn't say anything.
Betty transferred the money. Regarding Chadrick, it was best if Karen dealt with it herself.
Chuck was a little peckish, so he was eating. He didn't drink and just drank some beverages.
"A foreigner?" Someone came over to ask.
This was a foreign language. Chuck watched movies so he knew it.
The status of foreigners in the United States is still higher than that of people from his home country.
Chuck had never left his country but he knew about this. Hence, it was common for people from this country to ask him if he was a foreigner.
"No," Chuck spoke in an American accent.
He only knew a few sentences, and that was it.
"You are a foreigner. Foreigners should not be here," The man whose name was Derick stated.
Chuck shrugged. Since he couldn't understand, he could only smile politely as he was here to meet new people.
He couldn't embarrass his mom!
"You don't understand me, do you? How did you get in?" Derick voiced out sarcastically.
He saw that Chuck was well dressed and wanted to get to know him. He didn't expect that Chuck was not well- versed in the language and was disappointed.
Chuck didn't understand and just just continued smiling.
However, in Derrick's eyes, it was a silly giggle.
"Are you a fool from your home country?" Derick teased Chuck with a smile on his face.
In Chuck's point of view, Derick's tone sounded like he asked whether he was a foreigner. He nodded his head.
"Are you a fool?", Derick laughed.
"Yes," Chuck shrugged.
"Come on, let's take a video," said Derick while taking out his mobile phone. He had to take a video and upload it online. It was not easy to meet a guy who did not have an American accent. How could he not tease him?
Chuck pondered for a while and agreed.
"Tell me, are you a fool?", Derick started a video.
"Yes," answered Chuck as he nodded.
Derick smiled and was excited, thinking, "What a fool, why would you come if you don't understand the American accent?"
"You, follow me," Derick communicated in crappy English.
Chuck happened to be learning the American accent. Hence, he nodded in agreement.
"Alright then, I'm a fool from my home country." "I'm a fool from my home country."
Chuck rehearsed it again and felt pretty good. He spoke pretty standardly. With time, he would be able to speak the American accent like Yvette.
"Very good," Derick laughed and said to his friend.
Chuck thanked Derrick. This was the American accent, and he understood.
"Why would you thank me when I called you a fool?" Derrick sneered inwardly.
Derick laughed out loud, "Idiot."
He walked over.
He showed this video to his friends. After watching it, they burst out into laughter.
"Where is this fool from?" Asked his friends.
Derick answered, "He's from a foreign country. Look at him. He can't speak the American accent."
A few of them were laughing at Chuck. They peeked at Chuck and realized that Chuck was still eating. They questioned, "Why did he come here? To eat?"
"Let's continue to tease him and teach him more of the 'American accent'. I want to take a video as well," exclaimed Derick's friends.
"Let's go and tease him. It's not every day that we meet this kind of idiot!"
"Yes. I'm going to post this on the Internet and state that I met an idiotic foreigner today. He learns things like a dog," Olivia smiled proudly.
She came to this party without much gain and was bored. She did not expect to meet such a joker.
"What are you all laughing at?" Chuck grew even warier. "We are saying that you are smart and learn things fast," Derick smiled and said.
Chuck thought, "They are so friendly."
Chuck deliberately repeated the last sentence several times to say it to his mother later.
"Thank us," Derick said. Several other people looked at Chuck and waited for Chuck to express his thanks.
Chuck followed, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, and learn slowly," Derick teased while he took his friends to another place. The few of them were about to die of laughter.
"Isn't this fun?"
"Yes. Absolutely. Now, shut up. I'm going to upload it," announced Olivia while uploading it happily.
"I'll do it too"
"Me too!"
They were all playing the videos on their phones. They uploaded the videos while laughing at Chuck. What an idiot!
Chuck mumbled it to himself and found it interesting as he learned some United States accents.
He continued to eat and at this moment, his mother came over. Chuck saw that his mother was a little absentminded and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Why did things turn out this way after answering a phone call? "It's nothing, your father will be back in a few days," Karen said dotingly.
"It's okay. If father has something to do, let him do it." Chuck, of course, knew that a man's career was important. He hadn't seen him for so many years, so waiting for a few more days made no difference.
"Well, are you done with your food? I'll be your interpreter. I'll take you to meet someone," Karen said.
"Mom, I've just learned a few words in the United States accent. I think I'm talented," Chuck wanted to show Karen what he learnt.
"Really? Then tell me what you've learned." Karen smiled slightly.
Many foreigners were opposed to learning the United States accent. Fortunately, Chuck was enlightened and learned to speak it, which was beneficial! Looking at his excited look, she was also delighted.
Chuck said the first sentence Derick taught him, "I am a fool from my home country."
After hearing that, the smile on Karen's face froze. She was stunned and blurted out subconsciously. "What did you say, Chucky?"
Chuck repeated and asked, "Mom, am I wrong?"
"You are wrong. You are not a fool. You are my son. Tell me, who taught you just now?" Karen touched Chuck's head and said with cold eyes!
