Soon, the car was on the road to Micro Center as Aileen and David continued to chat with Dante about his current situation and where he got the money from. Dante had nothing to hide so he told them about his luck at the casino and even showed his father his Bentley.
Aileen laughed. "My darling Dante, you won 2.1 million and your first thought was to buy a car for your mom? You're the best!"
David turned to Dante. "Did you take a portion out for taxes?"
Dante nodded. "I calculated and filed it already. It took away 37% of the whole thing, but it was technically free money anyway."
"Mm, not necessarily son. Gambling is something that involves risk and is the third most popular business among sapient species. When you lose money, that money is not free, so why is it that when you win, it must be free?" Aileen disagreed with dissatisfaction.
