Chapter 12 She Is the Chairman Inside the meeting room, Madeline sat down in the chairmanâs seat. She removed her sunglasses and stroked her hair. Her actions charmed a few people in the room.
Asher could no longer care about Angie. He kneeled in front of Madeline without looking at her, âChairman, I didnât know whom I was talking to. Please be the bigger person and forgive me.â
Everyone who did charity knew the Global Philanthropy Committeeâs chairman was very elusive. A lowly director like Asher wouldnât have the chance to meet her.
Rumors had it that the chairman had enormous wealth and many connections. She had many rich and influential families from around the world supporting her. Otherwise, she wouldnât have been able to control such a huge charity organization.
However, Asher couldnât imagine the chairman to be such a beautiful woman.
Madeline looked at him and asked, âMr. Walter, what are you doing? Didnât you ask me to kneel and apologize to Ms. Angie just now? Why are you kneeling before I do?â
Asher slapped himself and said, âItâs my fault for not recognizing you. I shouldnât be disrespectful towards you because of Ms.
Angie!â
âMs. Angie? She is the famous charitable princess in Imperial. How can you compare her to someone like me?â
Asherâs face went pale. He only cared about protecting his job right now, âChairman! I made a mistake! Ms. Angie is no longer the charitable princess. I shouldnât be protecting her. However, I couldnât offend her because she has the Quincy family and the Grant family supporting her!â
Angie didnât expect Asher to throw her under the bus. She scolded angrily, âAsher, what nonsense are you saying?â
Asher dared not look at Angie, âIâm not saying nonsense. Ms. Angie, please donât put me on the spot. The chairman knows everything you did. Besides, our committee investigated what the Grant family did for you. I canât help you at all.
âAsher, Iâll rip your mouth off your face if you dare say another word!â
Asher kept quiet. He couldnât afford to offend them both.
Angie was so angry. She didnât expect the committee to find out what she did. If her wrongdoing has been exposed, the character she did so much to build would vanish. It would also make Noah hate her for all the fake charities she did in the past.
She could no longer stand straight when she thought about that.
Thankfully, Ronald was beside her and caught her, âMs. Angie, do you need me to inform the family or Mr. Quincy?â Ronald whispered.
Ronald was worried when he saw Angieâs face.
âNo. Noah can never find out about this. You better keep this a secret! Understand?â
âThese people are going to treat you badly.â
âI can deal with it on my own. Go and wait for me outside!â
âMs. Angie.â
âGo!â
Ronald had no choice but to wait outside the meeting room.
Angie regained her composure and looked at Asher, âMr. Walter, please go out for a while. I have important business to discuss with your chairman.â
Asher knew he offended Angie. He looked at Madeline with his pitiful eyes, âChairman...â
Offending Angie means offending the Quincy family and the Grant family. He could only make up for it later.
Madeline ordered Albert to take Asher away.
There were only Madeline and Angie left in the meeting room.
Angie went straight to the point, âName your price. How much do you want for the title of Global Ambassador for Philanthropy?â
âMs. Angie, are you trying to bribe me openly?â
âThereâs no one else here. I believe the chairman of the charity association still needs to eat. No one will say no to money.â
âMs. Angie, how much do you think the title is worth then?â
â10 million dollars. Iâm worthy of the title anyway. You canât find another candidate in Imperia who is more suitable to hold this title than me. Youâll get the money, and Iâll get the glory. Itâs a win-win situation. What do you think?â
The scandal on Facebook had mostly been removed. She was just trying to put things back on track since she was supposed to be the Global Charity Banquetâs only candidate.
Madeline chuckled as if she had heard a joke, âI see. The glory that helps you break into the Quincy family is only worth this much to you, Ms. Angie...â
Angie clenched her fists and asked, âAre you trying to take advantage of me?â
Madeline only smiled. It sent chills down Angieâs spine. It was obvious that this woman was trying to ruin her. Angie wondered if this woman was trying to take revenge for Mr. Gordon since she appeared in the cemetery as well.
Angie became alert, âIt was you! You were the one who exposed everything, right? Youâve been acting sneakily since the cemetery. What do you want? Who are you? What is your relationship with that old man and Madeline Grant?â
Looking at the agitated and hysterical Angie, Madeline said casually, âMs. Angie, you think too highly of yourself. Iâm just... using my power as chairman. What? Do you think I said that because Iâm against you?â
Angie didnât know what this woman wanted, but she had no choice but to listen to her. She dared not exasperate her because she was afraid that she might really be here to avenge Mr. Gordon.
She could only go with what Madeline wanted, âWhat about 30 million dollars? This is more than enough! Donât be greedy!â
â100 million dollars. Transfer the money today. Otherwise, donât even think about it.â
âThis is daylight robbery! Arenât you afraid of being exposed?â
âSorry. Iâm not afraid. You can give it a try, but if you do, your scandal of faking your donations will be known to everyone.â
Angie endured her anger and humiliation, âFine. 100 million dollars.â
âMs. Angie is such a decisive person.â
âDonât try to flatter me. Iâll remember this!â
Angie took her handbag and tried to leave. She would get revenge when she married Noah.
However, she was stopped by Albert when she turned around.
