Chapter 483 Did Your Alma Mater Specialize in Debt Collection? 

Jonah hadn’t expected the alumni association to reach out to him at this time, and from Gillian’s tone, he could tell that the school leadership seemed to have some serious grievances against him. 

If he didn’t meet her now, things would likely get worse 

Reluctantly, he sent over his location at the Springdale Grand Hotel. 

Still. Gillian’s attitude left him feeling annoyed. 

He’d finally carved out a little time to have a meal with Robin, only to have it ruined by this mess. 

Robin was his greatest benefactor–the man who had practically saved his life. 

At his lowest point, Robin had pulled him out of the abyss. 

Everything Jonah had today was thanks to him. 

If Gillian showed up and caused a scene, it would be mortifying. 

What was wrong with this girl from the alumni association? 

Couldn’t she have a little bit of understanding? 

It was just 200 million, for God’s sake–why would he, Jonah, ever try to cheat them out of it? 

He was donating money to his alma mater and somehow being treated like a deadbeat! 

The money should have already been in the school’s account. 

How had it not arrived? 

A couple of weeks ago, Gillian from the alumni association had reached out to him several times. 

His funds were tied up in various investments, so he couldn’t pull out the cash immediately. 

But Gillian had practically called him every day, encouraging him to go ahead and sign the donation contract and assuring him it was fine if the funds arrived a bit later. 

Eventually, moved by this young alumna’s enthusiasm as well as the warm reminiscing from the school leadership about the “unforgettable years he’d spent at his alma mater, Jonah had felt a little guilty. 

So he’d asked Leigh to withdraw 200 million from one of his investment funds and handle the transfer to the school. 

Because he’d terminated the investment contract early Jonah had already lost over 10 million in penalties and missed earnings. 

Could it be that Leigh really hadn’t transferred the money to the school’s account? 

This was usually the time when Leigh would be with their child at a tutoring session.

Otherwise, he would have called her right away to confirm, to clear up any misunderstandings with the alumni association. 

“What’s going on, Jonah? Is something wrong?” Robin glanced at Jonah, who looked tense in the sitting area, and casually asked. 

Jonah felt embarrassed and wasn’t sure how to explain this situation to Robin. 

“Is it about your donation?” Robin had noticed Jonah’s unease. 

“I overheard. The 200 million hasn’t made it into the school’s account yet. Can’t you just negotiate with them and arrange to sort it out tomorrow?” 

Jonah let out an awkward laugh. “That girl from the alumni association is really young and a bit inflexible. “She said the school wants it settled today, and she’s coming over here in a little while. 

“That urgent?” Freya frowned. “They can’t wait even one day? Is your alma mater going to go under without your 200 million?” 

Talia, cracking open a crab leg, chuckled and added. “Mr. Ferguson, was your alma mater training people to be professional debt collectors?” 

Jonah shook his head, helplessly. “No, it’s probably just a misunderstanding. My wife Leigh was the one handling this transfer. 

“Right now, Leigh’s with our daughter at tutoring, but they should be done in about ten minutes. I’ll call her as soon as they’re finished, and we’ll figure out what happened. 

“Mr. Ramsey, I’m really sorry. I just wanted us to have a nice lunch, but I didn’t expect this to come up… 

Robin smiled. “It’s fine; I’m waiting for someone else anyway. 

“Let them come over–it’s better to explain things face–to–face. I’m sure the school will understand.” 

Just then, there was a loud, insistent knocking at the door. 

Jonah opened it, and four people stormed in, looking quite displeased. 

Leading the group was a tall woman with an angry expression on her face. “Mr. Ferguson, what on earth is going on?” she demanded. 

“It’s been half a month since you signed the donation contract, and the 200 million still hasn’t shown up in our account! Were you planning this from the start?!” 

Jonah frowned slightly and shrugged apologetically toward Robin and the others. “Gillian, let me explain 

What’s the point of explaining if the money isn’t in the school’s account? Gillian scoffed. 

The school gave you your moment in the spotlight. We put your photo in the alumni honor section and let you give a success speech in front of the students and faculty. 

“Now you’ve got the fame, you’ve got the recognition, but you can’t keep stalling on the donation you

promised us!” 

Jonah took a deep breath. “Gillian, can you at least give me a chance to explain? 

“Why would I ever try to scam my own alma mater? 

“There’s clearly some kind of misunderstanding here. 

“I have some important guests with me today, so I’d appreciate a little time.

“I promise that. no matter what, I’ll have the donation transferred to the school’s account by tomorrow evening. Can that work for you?” 

Gillian let out a cold laugh. “Jonah, you business types really don’t know how to keep your word. 

“These are two members of our school’s legal team. If you have anything to say, say it to them! 

“If you don’t have the 200 million in the school’s account within two hours, the school will file a lawsuit against you!” 

Before Jonah could respond, one of the legal staff held up a law book and immediately began reading from it. 

“Fraudulent donation is a criminal offense. 

“According to Article 107 of the Draconian Civil Codes any individual, corporation, or organization that uses charitable claims to fraudulently obtain assets will be investigated by the authorities. If it constitutes a crime, they will be held criminally liable 

After reciting a list of legal provisions, the two lawyers looked at Jonah sternly. “Jonah Ferguson, by deceiving the school to gain recognition and boost your social status, you’ve committed a form of fraud against the school’s intangible assets. Your actions constitute a criminal offense. 

“Therefore, if you don’t transfer the funds within the agreed–upon time, the school will file criminal charges for your illegal activities! 

“Judicial authorities, upon receiving the school’s complaint. will pursue criminal liability. 

“During this period, your personal assets and bank accounts may be frozen, and you may face restrictions. on high–end spending and international travel.” 

Jonah let out a couple of awkward laughs. “What on earth is going on? I’m genuinely trying to donate to the school, and somehow I’ve become a criminal? 

“I already told you–I have very important guests with me right now. After lunch, I’ll get to the bottom of the transfer issue, and I guarantee the 200 million will be in the school’s account by tomorrow evening. 

“Aren’t you blowing this out of proportion? 

“After all, this is my alma mater, like a mother to me. Can’t we handle this a bit more reasonably? 

“If you go through with this, it’s basically branding meas a fraud. How will I face people? What will other alumni think of me?”
