Phoebe looked at the jewelry in the box. “Mom, you are donating for me, but what about Claire? Are you going to donate two things?”
“Well…” Ada didn’t even think about Claire.
After thinking for a moment, she said carelessly, “Anyway, we’re a family. I’ll just donate one item.”
Phoebe beamed at her with a smile. “Mom is right.”
“Alright.” Ada handed a necklace to Phoebe. “Take it, and hand it over to the school tomorrow.”
The next day, everyone turned in the donated items.
Derek rushed into the classroom and sat in his seat. “Claire, when I registered just now, I only saw Phoebe’s name. What do your parents mean? They didn’t prepare anything for you?”
“Maybe.” Claire responded casually.
“How can they do this to you?!” Derek patted the table hard. “They’re bullying you. I’ll have Mr. Hopkins deliver something right away.”
“No need.” Claire raised her eyes and glanced at Derek. “I’ll hand something in.”
“Claire! Come on, what can you hand in? You’ll be laughed at by everyone if you send in nothing!”
At this moment, Dora turned her head. “Don’t look down on Claire. You’ll regret what you said!”
Claire narrowed her eyes and looked at Dora keenly, her tone of voice becoming a little cold. “Do you know what I’m going to hand in?”
Dora smiled awkwardly. “I… I just guessed…”
The charity auction was held in the school’s central building and was attended by parents and students.
The building was crowded and noisy, and reporters were carrying cameras to report in real-time.
With a hand in her pocket, Claire walked slowly into the building and met Phoebe and Ada at the door.
Ada looked at her and said, “We’re a family, so I prepared a necklace for Phoebe to donate. It doesn’t matter if you give away something or not. I think the school would understand this.”
A family?
Claire smiled contemptuously and ignored her.
“Mom, don’t waste time on her.” Phoebe pulled Ada to walk in.
All the students present were taken in by their parents.
Only Claire was alone, and many people were pointing fingers at her.
The charity auction hadn’t officially started and the people were chatting and laughing in groups on the surface, but in fact, they were secretly competing with each other.
“Mrs. Wang, what good stuff did you donate? Why don’t you show us now?”
“You’ll find out when the auction starts. Mrs. Li, what did you donate? Let me remind you the value of the donation can’t be less than 50,000 dollars. Don’t forget it.”
“I heard that the Smiths didn’t donate anything for Claire.”
“Really? Are they that partial?”
“It seems that the rumors are true. She is really not favored in the Smiths, so if anyone wants to fawn on the Smiths, he should work on Phoebe Smith.”
“Tsk, they don’t even prepare a donation for her. That kid will be scoffed to death.”
On the other side, Hunter got out of the car and walked into the building.
Before entering, he went to register with the dean of students.
When the dean saw him, he immediately asked. “Are you Claire’s guardian? I was just wondering why she came alone.”
Hearing this name, Hunter frowned subconsciously, and his voice was cold. “What do you mean?”
The dean was stunned. “You’re not her guardian? But I remember you. The registration form from last time is still here!”
He turned a few pages forward and handed it over to Hunter.. “Look, there is your name on it.”
