NovelEnglishChapter 117
Kayla and Marissa, as the grand finale guests of the auction, were personally escorted by Jwith high- profile
attention as they entered the venue. Since Paisley had chosen to sit with the girls from a poor village, Kayla and
Marissa didn't notice her, but Paisley saw them right away.
Immediately, she frowned, her thoughts drifting into silent criticism. One of the teachers sitting beside her
noticed Paisley's discomfort and, growing uneasy, quickly asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Realizing that her expression had made the children and teachers uncomfortable, Paisley quickly forced a smile.
"No, I'm fine," she reassured them.
Seeing Paisley's smile again, the teachers relaxed slightly. Meanwhile, one of the girls, not much older than
Serena, nervously extended her hand toward Paisley. She wanted to hug this beautiful lady, but she was unsure
of how to approach her.
"Annie, no," the teacher quickly intervened, fearing that the child might overstep and make a bad impression on
Paisley. Over the years, they had encountered many challenges while promoting the care for left-behind girls,

This experience had taught them one important lesson, which was to never take someone else's politeness for
granted. The girl's eyes dimmed upon hearing the reprimand, and she slowly lowered her hand.
"It's okay," Paisley said gently, not wanting to disappoint such a pure and innocent child. She took the little girl in
her arms. "Chere and lethug you."
One of the teachers said, "Her clothes are dirty."
Paisley didn't mind at all and reassured, "It's fine. | really like this little girl. | have a daughter, around the same
age as her."
Seeing that Paisley genuinely wanted to be close to the girl, the two teachers finally relaxed and smiled in relief.
It wasn't that they were overly cautious.
But over the years, they had encountered many people who, under the guise of helping the children, were only
using them for attention and publicity.
One moment, they'd be smiling, hugging the children, and taking photos and videos, and the next, they would
be pushing the children aside with visible disdain.
"Is her njust Annie?" Paisley asked.
The teacher shook her head. "Her nis actually Asshat Dung, but we just call her Annie."
Paisley thought she had heard wrong, but when she looked at the teachers, they nodded, confirming her
suspicion. Their eyes then moved to the other children, their expressions filled with helplessness. "The names of
these children are all similar-there's Asshat, Dumbwit, and then there's her..." The teacher's gaze finally lingered
on the oldest girl. "Her nis Slut."
Paisley and Lucy exchanged a glance, deeply shaken. They couldn't imagine how a girl could live with the name
"Slut".
"That's a name?" Lucy exclaimed angrily, her eyes blazing with fury.

All the guests arrived, and the lights in the venue dimmed. Both the auctioneer and the host had taken their
places, signaling that the auction was about to begin.

noticing. The person was deep in conversation with a few others, making it awkward for Paisley to go back.
So, Paisley and Lucy decided to stay where they were. Kayla and Marissa had taken the central seats at the front
table. Feeling the attention from all directions, Marissa was delighted.
She held her head high, like a proud swan, sitting there with an air of superiority, her gaze fixed ahead. This seat
had initially been assigned to two other guests, but Marissa had contacted Crown&Culture, demanding two
invitations and the most prominent spot in the venue.
Jhad been in a difficult position because of this, but fortunately, the original guests were understanding and
graciously chose to step aside, sparing Jfrom further discomfort.
