Chapter 1225 Convinced
Moses took the name card with a puzzled look on his face.
But when he saw the name on the name card, his eyes widened in disbelief. “You’re the chairman of Moore Group?”
Arielle nodded and flashed a smile. “I am. Now, I’d like to ask if your orphanage needs any assistance from my company as the chairman of Moore Group. In fact, my company does allocate some funds for charity. Since we still have some funds left, we can give all of it to your orphanage.”
“Y-You…” The priest was still in disbelief. Her name card shows her identity. Besides, she has no reason to lie to an old and ordinary man like me!
After a long pause, the priest finally said, “So, does it mean you’re the one who donated those bionic arms to the orphanage?”
“Bionic arms?” Arielle shook her head. “Although those are my company’s products from the AI technology department, we’ve never donated them to you.”
“Then how did the bionic arms” The priest paused when realization dawned upon him. “It must be Jason.”
Arielle nodded. “Yes, it has to be him. I know I’m in no position to change your mind about accepting his help, but I’d still like to tell you something. Jason is a very talented actor. If my prediction is correct, the film he’s working on now could actually get him voted as the best actor this year.”
“The best actor?” Moses’ eyes lit up.
He considered Jason his son a long time ago. Hence, he couldn’t help but feel proud of his achievement.
Arielle noticed the look on his face, so she quickly added, “A good actor doesn’t only get successful because of the size of his fanbase. Instead, he’d be judged by his performances in films as well. Hence, the fans won’t leave him just because of his upbringing. Ultimately, it’s your decision whether you accept his help or push him away.”
With that, Arielle wanted to give Moses some time to consider his options, so she left the room.
In the corridor outside the room, Jason was playing with a disabled child.
Although the child had lost both her legs, she was incredibly cheerful. When she smiled, her dimples would show on both sides of her face.
Arielle walked up to them and gently rubbed the little girl’s head.
The little girl widened her eyes in puzzlement and looked at her. “Hi, are you Mr. Jason’s girlfriend? You’re so pretty!”
Arielle was stunned. She then quickly waved her hands in dismissal and explained, “No. We’re colleagues.”
“Colleague? What’s that?”
“Colleagues are-”
Before Arielle could explain, Moses’ voice piped up behind them. “Since the bionic arms are already here, why don’t you teach me how to use them?”
Jason’s eyes instantly lit up with joy. “Father!”
Moses let out a cough awkwardly. “Why are you still standing there? Since the chairman of Moore Group is here as well, how about you guys help the kids put on the bionic arms?”
“Sure!” Jason nodded profusely before staring at Arielle gratefully. She must’ve convinced Father Moses successfully!
Arielle shrugged. “Why are you spaced out? Help me unbox them!”
Quickly, Jason nodded and helped Arielle unbox those bionic arms.
It took them a while to get the bionic arms set up. When they were done, a few disabled kids were all excited and curious.
While Arielle was patiently teaching the kids how to operate the bionic arms, she didn’t notice there was a pair of eyes staring at her from a dimly lit corner.
