NovelEnglishChapter 610 BecThe President
The other mothers were also waiting for Cecilia to make a fool of herself. Clearly, she didn’t calculate the balance
before making such a claim.
Unexpectedly, Cecilia said indifferently, “Of course.”
She pulled out a card from her bag and placed it on the table. “You can swipe the card now,” she said.
To her, over six million was no longer an astronomical figure.
The reason she didn’t wear expensive clothes or carry luxury bags was simply because she didn’t like to, not
because she couldn't afford them.
Miranda, who had planned to embarrass Cecilia today, did not expect to end up embarrassing herself.
Cecilia, a newcomer, generously donated over six million, while she, as the president of the parents’ association,

She faked a smile. “Ms. Cecilia, you're so kind.”
When the other mothers realized that Cecilia could indeed cup with such a large sum of money, the
disdainful glances they had originally cast upon her began to shift.
Once the gathering was over, Priscilla had a private conversation with Cecilia. “Ms. Cecilia, you're so generous.
Aren't you afraid your family might disapprove?”
“| earned all that money myself. | don’t need to ask my family’s opinion,” Cecilia said. Priscilla admired Cecilia.
Miranda hadn't earned her wealth through hard work; she was born into it and later married into the affluent
Rainsworth family, where money was hardly a concern. Cecilia's story, however, was different. Priscilla had read
online that Cecilia’s father had passed away years ago, leaving his entire fortune to her younger brother.
Though she was married to Nathaniel, both he and his family had always looked down on her throughout their
years together. It was unthinkable for them to give her any money. Now that Nathaniel had gone blind, her
situation had only worsened.
“Ms. Cecilia, I'm sorry,” Priscilla suddenly apologized.
Cecilia was puzzled. “Why apologize?”
“Actually, Ms. Miranda askedto call you over,” Priscilla said. “New members don’t need to contribute unless
it’s specified beforehand.” She glanced around at Miranda and the other members, who were busy with their
tasks, then leaned in and whispered, “She just wants to make you look foolish.”
Finally, realization dawned upon Cecilia. She had been wondering why Miranda, as the president, would allow her
to join the association.
“Why did you tellthe truth now?” Cecilia asked skeptically. She didn’t believe Priscilla was a kind person.
Priscilla sighed. “As a mother, you should know that our children are our greatest vulnerabilities. Miranda, as the
president, has significant influence-not just with other parents, but also with teachers and school administrators.
If she dislikes a student, she has the power to have them expelled or to turn other parents, children, and
teachers against them. You might not realize it, but even the closest parking spots at school are reserved for
those who have good relations with Miranda.”

Cecilia remembered the times she picked up Jonathan and struggled to find a parking spot. Each time, the
volunteers would direct her to the farthest spot, forcing her to walk several hundred meters to the school
entrance.
Meanwhile, sparents’ cars were parked only a few dozen meters away from the entrance.
“No wonder,” she mumbled.
Priscilla was about to say more, but the other mothers approached, interrupting her. She joined. them in
flattering Miranda before taking her leave.
Although they desired to befriend Cecilia, they were still intimidated by Miranda's influence.
Cecilia walked out of the restaurant alone, looking at the group of mothers gathered in the distance. She was
isolated from the very first day. How sad will Jon be if he was also isolated? No matter how clever he is, how
could he possibly stand against the entire class?
Cecilia didn’t leave. Instead, he waited until Priscilla was alone, then approached her. “If | becthe president «
of the parents’ association, can | put an end to this unfair treatment?”
