Chapter 255
Sophia Lowell clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. She forced a smile, but her gaze kept drifting toward Evelyn Laurent.
The murmurs around them were impossible to miss. Evelyn must have heard everything.
The one who donated 100 million was Evelyn. With that bitch's temper, she would have exposed Sophia on the spot!
But Evelyn only gave her an amused glance before looking away.
Lillian Rothschild opened her mouth to speak, but Evelyn subtly tugged her sleeve, silencing her.
Sophia's racing heart finally settled.
A wild thought crossed her mind—what if the bank had made a mistake and credited someone else's donation to Evelyn?
The possibility made her relax completely.
If Evelyn had really donated that much, she would have already slapped Sophia across the face.
Maybe the mysterious donor was someone else entirely.
A smug smile crept onto Sophia's lips.
Meanwhile, Evelyn was typing a message to Dr. Gregory Evans on her phone.
She suggested holding an awards ceremony for the top donor and inviting their parents.
Dr. Evans immediately began compiling the list. But when he saw Sophia's name, he frowned. "She only donated one million."
Evelyn tapped her screen. "Just proceed as planned, Headmaster."
Two hours later, whispers filled the Physics Department classroom.
"Sophia donated 100 million? That's incredible!"
"I never knew she was this humble..."
Students crowded around Sophia, showering her with flattery.
Evelyn watched coldly, a mocking smile on her lips.
Did stolen glory taste that sweet?
First, she faked screenshots. Now, she was stealing credit for donations.
Evelyn couldn't wait to see how Sophia would handle what was coming.
When the bell rang, an announcement blared through the speakers. "All students, please assemble on the field for the Philanthropy Awards Ceremony."
Sophia's face turned deathly pale.
Lydia Montgomery excitedly grabbed her arm. "Sophia, you're definitely going on stage to accept the award!"
Sophia trembled, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.
