Chapter 12
Inside the meeting room, Madeline sat down in the chairman’s 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, “Chairman, I didn’t know whom I was talking to. Please be the bigger person and
forgive me.”
Everyone who did charity knew the Global Philanthropy Committee’s chairman was very
elusive. A lowly director like Asher wouldn’t 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
wouldn’t have been able to control such a huge charity organization.
However, Asher couldn’t imagine the chairman to be such a beautiful woman.
Madeline looked at him and asked, “Mr. Walter, what are you doing? Didn’t you ask me to
kneel and apologize to Ms. Angie just now? Why are you kneeling before I do?”
Asher slapped himself and said, “It’s my fault for not recognizing you. I shouldn’t be
disrespectful towards you because of Ms. Angie!”
“Ms. Angie? She is the famous charitable princess in Imperial. How can you compare her
to someone like me?”
Asher’s face went pale. He only cared about protecting his job right now, “Chairman! I
made a mistake! Ms. Angie is no longer the charitable princess. I shouldn’t be protecting

her. However, I couldn’t offend her because she has the Quincy family and the Grant
family supporting her!”
Angie didn’t expect Asher to throw her under the bus. She scolded angrily, “Asher, what
nonsense are you saying?”
Asher dared not look at Angie, “I’m not saying nonsense. Ms. Angie, please don’t put me
on the spot. The chairman knows everything you did. Besides, our committee investigated
what the Grant family did for you. I can’t help you at all.
“Asher, I’ll rip your mouth off your face if you dare say another word!”
Asher kept quiet. He couldn’t afford to offend them both.
Angie was so angry. She didn’t 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, “Ms. Angie, do you need me to inform
the family or Mr. Quincy?” Ronald whispered.
Ronald was worried when he saw Angie’s face.
“No. Noah can never find out about this. You better keep this a secret! Understand?”
“These people are going to treat you badly.”
“I can deal with it on my own. Go and wait for me outside!”
“Ms. Angie.”
“Go!”
Ronald had no choice but to wait outside the meeting room.
Angie regained her composure and looked at Asher, “Mr. Walter, please go out for a while.
I have important business to discuss with your chairman.”
Asher knew he offended Angie. He looked at Madeline with his pitiful eyes, “Chairman…”
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, “Name your price. How much do you want for the title of
Global Ambassador for Philanthropy?”
“Ms. Angie, are you trying to bribe me openly?”
“There’s no one else here. I believe the chairman of the charity association still needs to
eat. No one will say no to money.”
“Ms. Angie, how much do you think the title is worth then?”
“10 million dollars. I’m worthy of the title anyway. You can’t find another candidate in
Imperia who is more suitable to hold this title than me. You’ll get the money, and I’ll get
the glory. It’s a win-win situation. What do you think?”
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 Banquet’s only candidate.
Madeline chuckled as if she had heard a joke, “I see. The glory that helps you break into
the Quincy family is only worth this much to you, Ms. Angie…”
Angie clenched her fists and asked, “Are you trying to take advantage of me?”
Madeline only smiled. It sent chills down Angie’s spine. It was obvious that this woman
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas 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, “It was you! You were the one who exposed everything, right? You’ve
been acting sneakily since the cemetery. What do you want? Who are you? What is your
relationship with that old man and Madeline Grant?”
Looking at the agitated and hysterical Angie, Madeline said casually, “Ms. Angie, you think
too highly of yourself. I’m just… using my power as chairman. What? Do you think I said
that because I’m against you?”
Angie didn’t 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, “What about 30 million dollars? This is
more than enough! Don’t be greedy!”
“100 million dollars. Transfer the money today. Otherwise, don’t even think about it.”
“This is daylight robbery! Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?”
“Sorry. I’m not afraid. You can give it a try, but if you do, your scandal of faking your
donations will be known to everyone.”
Angie endured her anger and humiliation, “Fine. 100 million dollars.”
“Ms. Angie is such a decisive person.”
“Don’t try to flatter me. I’ll remember this!”
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.
