Shock (Bonus Chapter for Plane Traveler Looks Good, My First Alliance Leader, 1/3)

520 Apartment.

Adam snatched the newspaper and immediately saw Caroline's picture. Startled, he quickly looked at the headline, which read:

Shock!

A beautiful caregiver's genuine affection earned her a multi-million dollar fortune!

"WTF?!"

Adam immediately uttered a classic Michaelis exclamation.

"Caroline is so lucky."

Monica exclaimed.

"She deserves it."

Phoebe chimed in, "She's like an angel, warming everyone around her."

"Incredible."

Rachel took the newspaper from Adam, looked at it carefully, and said enviously, "I wish I had that kind of luck. Tens of millions in assets, enough for most people to work hard for a lifetime."

"More than just a lifetime."

Monica said, "An average person's annual income is only $30,000. It would take them fifty years of not eating or drinking to earn $1.5 million. It takes several generations of a family to accumulate a fortune of tens of millions."

"Caroline has so much money, how many bags and shoes could she buy?"

Rachel looked on with envy and longing.

"She won't buy bags and shoes."

Adam sighed.

"Yes."

Phoebe chimed in, "Caroline is so idealistic, always wanting to bring care to more elderly people living alone. Even if she inherits millions, she will definitely spend most of the money on this."

"Wow!"

Rachel exclaimed, "No way? She's willing to do that?"

"Of course I'm willing to part with it."

Phoebe, a devoted fan of Caroline, kept praising her, saying, "What's money? She's an angel! This money was given to her by God to do good deeds, and I'm sure she'll give it away."

Adam smiled wryly.

Unlike Phoebe and the others, he was closer to Caroline and knew things weren't that simple.

There must be some shocking inside story behind this.

His mind raced, and details from the past kept resurfacing.

"The people in the hospital are so cold-hearted. As soon as a patient dies, they can't wait to get rid of them. Everything is about business. Where is there any humanistic care?"

"If I have the ability in the future, I will definitely build a nursing home to truly care for those elderly patients who have no family to take care of them, treat them as family members, and let them feel the warmth of family affection."

"Adam, do you believe in God? No? Then I don't believe either!"

"What era are we living in? There are still so many people who believe in the mysterious power of God or even the devil, and they do crazy things because of it, even at the cost of hurting others. Don't you think these people are stupid, wicked, and beyond redemption?"

"I've heard some things recently and I'm quite moved. I often think that if these people really believe in God, they would be better off using their money to truly practice the truth, goodness and beauty that God exhorts people to do."

"My strength is limited, but I will do my best."

Caroline's words flashed through Adam's mind, Adam couldn't help but recall the determined look in Caroline's eyes before she left, which gave Adam a bad feeling.

Now, upon seeing this shocking news again, Adam already had a vague idea in his mind.

"They've all accomplished some really big things!"

Adam was filled with admiration.

But compared to the fear and uneasiness he felt when he guessed the big thing Juno had done before, at this moment, he could only feel emotion.

"Adam, you've lost out."

Rachel joked, "Why don't you hurry up and contact the multi-millionaire Caroline? Maybe she still remembers you, and then you can skip decades of hard work."

"Hehe."

Adam laughed and said, "My stomach is perfectly fine; I never eat soft rice."

"Have you lost all contact with Caroline?"

Monica asked curiously, "You two seemed so close before, how could you just break up like that?"

"No."

Adam shook his head and said, "She left New York and didn't give me her phone number there, but she knows mine. If she really wanted to contact me, she definitely could. The decision is in her hands."

"It's better if we don't keep in touch."

Monica laughed and said, "Otherwise, when she comes back and sees Heather, there will probably be quite a show."

"Yes."

Rachel, always eager for chaos, said, "You used to say 'more than friends, less than lovers,' meaning you could become lovers if you took a step further and still be friends if you took a step back. I want to see if you can really do that."

Adam smiled without saying a word.

How could such a delightful scene of Asura's Battlefield happen to him?

Ring ring!

Just then, the phone rang.

"Caroline?"

Monica answered the call and immediately exclaimed in surprise, giving everyone meaningful glances.

"Okay, Adam, Caroline is looking for you."

Adam took the phone, said a few words briefly, and hung up.

What did she say?

Rachel asked curiously.

She invited me to come over and play.

Adam laughed.

"Just you?"

Phoebe was a little unhappy. "I heard she got a manor. She didn't even invite us to go and see it. I've never been to a manor before."

"I'll go take a look first."

Adam comforted him, saying, "We'll all go together another time."

Actually, he didn't really want to go there.

However, Caroline was a friend recognized by the system who had provided him with power, and also a regular combatant for a period of time. He still needed to go and see what she had been through.

Help if you can, otherwise don't.

If you've done your best, you can have a clear conscience.

Night falls.

Central Perk.

How's the filming going?

Seeing Joey walk in, Monica asked with a smile.

"It's definitely good."

Adam glanced at Joey's expression and said with certainty.

"Um?"

Monica complained, "Joey, are you playing this trick on us again?"

Joey's favorite thing to do is to pretend to fail first, look dejected and get everyone to comfort him, and then do a complete 180-degree turn.

"Ha ha."

Joey couldn't keep up the act any longer and laughed, "The filming went very smoothly. You'll see me when the movie is released; it's Al Pacino's new film!"

"Didn't you show off your 'angry butt' acting skills?"

Adam joked.

"Well."

Joey scratched his head sheepishly. "I did perform, and the director scolded me. After that, I filmed obediently, otherwise I might have been fired like you said."

"A wise choice."

Adam laughed.

Joey's act of deliberately adding drama to his life would normally be met with dislike and rejection unless he had incredible luck.

Dozens of people on set made extensive preparations for filming your single shot, but what should have been a simple take was forced to be repeated time and time again because you insisted on adding scenes to show off.

It was a waste of time and money; the director firing you was actually quite lenient.

Like Zhou Xingxing in King of Comedy, he was verbally abused and physically assaulted, ultimately losing his life as a result.

Why bother?

If you're heading in the wrong direction, the harder you try, the further you'll get from success.
