Chapter 101
"William, I'm treating you to a late-night snack tonight. If you don't mind, can you ask Felicia to stand to the side
for a bit? I've been waiting here long enough," Veronica said, blinking her eyes atin a way that was supposed
to be flirtatious.
Unfortunately, her heavy eyeliner and eyeshadow, which looked like they were painted on, madenauseous. |
replied curtly, "Move aside, please."
Veronica's face immediately turned red with anger as she glared at me. "William, you'll regret this!"
| smirked. "How many times do | need to say this? Please move aside. Your boyfriend Louis is waiting at the front
of the line. You used him to get ahead, then you just ditch him and stand here alone. Don't you feel even a little
guilty or ashamed?"
The students nearby immediately cast Veronica disdainful glances when they heard my words.

"Seriously? She piggybacked her way up here?"
"Damn, how shameless. The person she rode on is standing off to the side, and she has the nerve to stay in the
middle."
"This kind of woman is dangerous—she'll climb over anyone to get ahead. Plenty of guys will end up ruined
because of her."
"Not necessarily. She's pretty average. Only losers like Louis would be interested in her."
"Move aside! Stop wasting time!"
The insults grew louder, and the host's face becmore and more uncomfortable. | didn't hold back either and
glared at her without mercy.
Finally, Veronica couldn't stand the pressure. She let out an angry shout and quickly walked out, heading straight
for Louis.
| took the opportunity to pull Felicia closer.
Felicia's face turned bright red, and she kept her head lowered shyly.
The host smiled and said, "We'll now present the certificates. Afterward, we'll take
a group photo, and then you can step off the stage."
Soon, the teachers, school leaders, and the student council president stepped forward to present the certificates.
Photographers quickly gathered around, their cameras snapping nonstop.
Once all the formalities were done, | took Felicia's hand and prepared to leave the stage. Tonight's event had
finally cto an end.
Just as | was about to step off, the host suddenly stopped me. "Mr. White, please wait. We'd like to interview you
as the representative of this charity event."
"Me?" | was stunned. That hadn't been part of my plan.

"Why don't you interview Georgina and Martin instead?" | sincerely suggested. "I think they're better suited for
this."
| wasn't just being polite. Georgina was known for her frugal lifestyle and selflessness in helping others. Martin
may not have been very wealthy, but he was always active in charity events.
As for me? | had simply donated spocket money, and | didn't want to take up the spotlight. Moreover, |
wasn't good at saying flattering things.
However, the host was insistent. "We'll certainly interview them as well, and their stories will be featured in the
school magazine as nominees for the Top 10 Most Inspirational Figures on Campus. But your generous donation
is also noteworthy, and we can't pass up the chance. Could you share what motivated you to contribute such a
large amount?"
| hesitated for a moment, then decided that honesty was the best policy in this situation.
"Honestly, there wasn't any particular reason. Ten thousand dollars isn't much to me, so | just donated it casually.
There's really nothing worth reporting."
To my surprise, my casual remark made the audience even more excited.
