“He’s not just handsome. He has this super intimidating aura too. I bet he’s the mysterious guest invitedby the school.”
Just as Corinne was going into the concluding remarks, she felt that something was not right with howeveryone responded. It was almost as if they were all staring behind her.
She turned around to replace out what was happening and was taken completely by surprise! ‘Why is hehere?!’
Jeremy’s thoughtful gaze glanced swiftly across her as he walked forward. His tall body stood besideher, and he reached out to raise the microphone to mouth level. His low and magnetic voice resonatedthroughout the auditorium as he said, “Hello everyone, I’m here as Corinne’s family, and I’d like tothank the University of New Capital City for all the care that has been given to Corinne. I don’t havemuch time right now, so I’ll keep things short. I’m donating a laboratory building to the university inCorinne’s name as a token of appreciation for all that the university has done for Corinne.”
Corinne was speechless. ‘Is he okay or something?
The audience was in an uproar, and the university’s top management was all shocked. Everyone wasstunned to hear that a building had been gifted out of nowhere!
“Whoa! Guess you don’t need to talk much if you’re handsome. You can just donate a building!”,
“He’s the most dashing man I’ve ever seen, and he doesn’t even bat an eye when he donates thatbuilding! Does anyone know who he is to Corinne?”
“He says he’s family, so I’m guessing he’s her brother? But they don’t look alike at all!”
“He’s young, so he can’t be her father, right?”
The University of New Capital City’s dean took the stage excitedly and said, “Fellow students, let usthank Corinne and her family for their generous donation. How about we give them a round ofapplause!”
A thunderous applause then ensued.
Ivanka’s face turned ugly, and she felt her pride being trampled on the ground. Corinne had stolen herspotlight again! By contrast, the three pianos that her father said he would donate earlier seemed topale in comparison!
‘D*mn it! Corinne is supposed to be an illegitimate daughter whom nobody cares about! Who’s thathandsome and wealthy man who went on stage with her?’
At that moment, there was a short break in between classes in the freshmen’s hurried in and said,“Something big happened, Francine! I heard that your brother donated a building to the school!”
Francine, whose eyes were still red after being reprimanded by her brother because of her studyIssues, was overjoyed when she heard the news. “I knew my brother still cares for me even after
scolding me! I’m glad he donated the building to the school so the teachers will be a bit ‘nicer’ to meduring the exams!”
The female classmate corrected her awkwardly, “Ummm… He didn’t donate the building because ofyou.”
Francine waved her hand in disbelief. “Don’t play around with me. Who else would he donate it for?
The female classmate said regretfully, “But I swear it’s not for you. It’s for one of the senior graduatesnamed Corinne!”
Francine stared at her classmate in shock. “Corinne? She’s a student at the University of New CapitalCity?!”
The female classmate had an expression that seemed to say, ‘How could you not know this?’ She thenexplained, “Corinne is a legend here in the university. She was the top scorer of her year in the nationaluniversity entrance examination, and no one has ever surpassed her scores! I heard that she didn’tactually apply to the University of New Capital City, but it was our dean who visited her and invited herhere!”
“That’s right! Our senior, Chester Mansfield, is so in love with her, but he still hasn’t managed to win herheart even after chasing her for three years!”
While the previous bit of information merely made her angry, it was the subsequent one that shatteredFrancine completely. She had a crush on senior Chester since forever, but he rejected her and told herthat he already had someone he liked. Francine never thought that it would be Corinne!
Her classmate said again, “I didn’t think your brother had two younger sisters! Is Corinne your oldersister, then? Why doesn’t she have the Holden surname though?”
Francine said in disgust, “Corinne isn’t my brother’s sister!”
That remark left her classmate feeling puzzled. “Then who is she? How did she get your brother toattend her graduation ceremony as her family member? To the point of donating a building in hername?”
Francine gritted her teeth. “She’s…”
