Chapter116

The president looked at all the rich ladies present, some of which knew

him. He had heard of Wilson philanthropic foundation.

He was confused about why he had to prove Luca was not a student at

Vista University, and he could not figure it out.

He, however, honestly said, "You all heard it. No student named Luca

Ball is at my university; the only student named Luca Ball graduated ten

years ago."

So, "Luca" who claimed to be a student from Vista University and sick

with sepsis was a fraud!

The surrounding rich ladies were shocked to hear this. Sylvia's phone

recording might be false, but now it was proved to be true by the

president and the director of the admissions office.

"Luca is a real fraud."

"My goodness, Mrs. Wilson, what's going on 2"

“I've donated 2 million today. I'm afraid that the person I donated to is

also a fraud. If so, it would be too much!"

“Yeah, scammers who gain our sympathy and swindle our money are

just too hateful!"

"Luckily, Miss Andrews has good judgment.”

Hearing the discussion of these rich ladies, Winter went pale and beads

of sweat trickled down from her forehead.

Since she took over the Wilson philanthropic foundation, it was the first

time that she encountered someone who revealed the identity of the

recipient on the spot!

Did Franklin come here to reveal what Luca was?

Was Poppy that important to him?

She only heard that Franklin did not have a good relationship with his

two siblings.

Perhaps he came here for the sake of Sylvia, that bitch? But he just

posted a tweet to show his affection for his wife, didn't he?

It was a PR crisis! The reputation of Wilson philanthropic foundation

couldn't be ruined by this incident!

Winter's mind raced as she looked at Luca, who was trying to retreat

into the crowd. Then she blurted out, "You liar! Stop right there, where

are you going?"

After working for Winter for so many years, Rosie got Winter's hint

immediately and called security guards over.

A couple of tall security guards pinned Luca to the ground in seconds.

Luca lay on the ground, badly battered by the security guards.

He was beaten up.

When he was just about to struggle and scream, Rosie ripped off the

hem of her traditional dress and put it into his mouth to prevent him

from making any sound.

"I didn't expect a crook could get himself into the foundation. I am so

sorry for worrying everyone." Winter wiped the sweat on her forehead

and darted at Rosie.

Then she smiled and said, "Mr. Maskelyne, thank you for exposing this

fraud to us. It was the negligence of the foundation staff. I am really

sorry for letting you down."

Sylvia's lovely eyes glinted under the sunlight, and her red lips curled

into a smile.

It made Winter's flesh creep.

What was Sylvia up to?

"Mrs. Wilson, you said you would compensate ten times the donation if

any of them turns out to be a fraud? Thus, you should pay Miss

Maskelyne one million. Just now, she was about to donate ten

thousand dollars!"

The woman's crispy voice rang out.

Winter almost fainted with anger, but she said with a fake smile on her

face, "Miss Maskelyne did not donate it, didn't she? So, she didn't

suffer any loss."

Sylvia stared at Winter and said with mockery, "But Luca is a fake!

When you made a promise, you didn't say the precondition is to suffer

losses!"

Poppy didn't even think about asking for the compensation, but after

Sylvia reminded her, she raised her chin and said proudly, "Mrs.

Wilson, you wanna get a good reputation without any effort?"

She didn't want Sylvia to think of her as a no-brainer, so this time, she

spoke up to show her wit, but she didn't know if Sylvia would appreciate

it.

She racked her brain to mock at Winter's hypocrisy.

After she echoed with Sylvia, she gingerly glanced at Sylvia, expecting

Sylvia to give her an encouraging look or smile.

But she was bound to be disappointed.

She was heartbroken and encouraged herself. “I didn't behave well

enough, so Sylvia didn't praise me."

She was so upset.

She would read more books and behave better next time.

Sylvia was amused by Poppy's words, but she held back the desire to

laugh.

Winter almost went blind with rage, but she got so strong a heart that

she could not faint easily. She wished to faint. If she did, maybe she

could avoid offering compensation.

Ten times ten thousand was one million!

At the thought of giving Poppy a million dollars for nothing, she might

as well be killed.

However, she didn't have the guts to say no when looking at Franklin's

creepy figure.

She felt as if she was being strangled and physically drained by the

devil.

She said with a stiff face and managed to sound calm, "Wilson

philanthropic foundation upholds honesty all the time. It is our

negligence, so we will take responsibility and make compensation.

Rosie, get the check!

After saying these words, she was deflated. If not for Rosie, her

secretary, who helped her, she would have fallen to her knees in

distress.

Rosie felt worried.

Once Winter was steady on her feet, she took the 1 million dollar check

Rosie handed her and brought it to Poppy with both hands sincerely.

"Miss Maskelyne, I'm so sorry. I apologize on behalf of the Wilson

philanthropic foundation for posing a problem for you."

Then she said very sincerely to Sylvia, "Miss Andrews, you are

amazing. You discern this fraud at a glance. Thank you for helping us

get rid of this crook! Thank you!"

By making a sincere apology and offering compensation, Winter won

over those rich ladies.

The rich ladies who were suspicious of her just now couldn't help

defending her.

"She did compensate.”

"She also apologized."

"Who hasn't made a mistake before? Maybe it was just a careless

mistake."

"Mrs. Wilson is still trustworthy."

"I agree! I think maybe Mrs. Wilson didn't know it."

Sylvia had to admit that Winter knew when to yield and when not. No

wonder Clark assigned such an important task to her.

She was indeed impressed.

When Poppy got a million dollars in compensation, she was happy and

proud.

She used to squander money, but she had never earned money. For

the first time she earned money, she got a whopping million. It was

amazing.

After that, the tea party ended hastily.

Poppy excitedly took Sylvia's hand, "It's the first time I have made

money. Sylvia, Franklin, can I treat you two to dinner at Royal Galaxy?"

Sylvia was about to say no when she heard Poppy say, "Just say yes,

okay? I got one million dollars! We can eat the most famous dishes

there!"

Poppy looked at Winter who had a pale face not far away, "Don't you

think it's fun to spend other people's money?"
