Is this real or just a story?
Charles was foolish. How would he trust friend up to that extent? That is foolishness. We should not handle life with foolishness, bet separately.
I don't think that's foolishness, someone you grow up together with and you have trusted the person with money before and haven't disappointed you before, then you won't know he will definitely do something like this. I blame Kelvin just trying to be smart, someone that can trust you then you shouldn't ruin your friendship because of selfishness, if both of them shared the money am sure they will have both been living fine and comfortable, how will I have money and I will be comfortable seeing my friend suffering, that's really bad if am Charles I will just tell Kelvin my mind and then overlook it, definitely my own money will also come. With this post I think we shouldn't trust anybody whenever it comes to money related issues not even a friend.
