Chapter 98 The Storm at the Charity Dinner - The Fake Bracelet
No one knew whether this woman was doing it deliberately or not.
Though she spoke to the host in a low voice, she faced the microphone in the host''s hand.
Did Florence donate a face bracelet?
This was something that had never happened at a charity dinner.
Wasn''t it fooling people and making vainglorious fame by taking a fake to the auction?
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and they looked at Florence questioningly.
Florence was flustered. The people who came to this kind of asion were all influential in the
circle. Her behavior must not be wrong, and she must not have a bad reputation.
She could not make Alexander lose his face.
Alexander looked at Florence and stood up when Florence shacked her head, signaling him to keep
silent.
William and Maxwell nced at each other, and neither believed that Florence would use a
counterfeit for charity.
Brielle and Andrew looked at each other. They could not ignore it as if it hadn’t happened. Ignoring
this problem would damage Florence''s reputation even more.
Andrew came to the stage, smiled, and said to everyone, “I am sorry, because of an ident, the
dinner will be suspended for half an hour, thanks for your understanding."
After finishing speaking, Andrew walked to Florence and said in a low voice, "Let''s see what
happened first, don''t worry."
"Godfather," Florence called Andrew and stood up. With the attention of the audience, she raised
her voice and said, "Could somebody bring all the donations to the stage, including the bracelet I
donated."
Andrew quickly understood what Florence meant; she wanted to rify things in front of everyone.
Otherwise, even if they figured out the fact, some people would use this as an excuse to doubt
Florence privately and think that the Cooper family was covering up the points, though they might
not say something in public.
Lincoln and Allison had note today, and they didn''t have the face to go to this kind of asion.
As Florence''s godfather, Andrew must protect her.
Let alone Alexander was still sitting there.
"Okay, I would go right now." Andrew personally went backstage to deal with it; he brought all the
donated items to the stage and invited the appraiser to check.
Everyone in the audience stretched their necks to see the pair of bracelets donated by Florence.
Wasn''t it a big joke that Andrew''s goddaughter had donated a pair of fake bracelets?
Audrey was a little worried, “Florence, what''s going on? Is it a mistake?"
"Don''t worry." Florenceforts Audrey, but actually, she was the most nervous.
Florence went up to the stage, walked to the bracelets she donated, and heard the appraiser say in
embarrassment, "They are indeed a fake, and they’re worth a few hundred dors."
Hundreds of dors?
There was a lot of discussion in the audience again, and even some peopleughed
contemptuously.
William could not keep listening anymore, “Alexander, aren’t you going to help Florence?"
Alexander did not speak, but his eyes fell on Florence. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously
when he watched Florence''sposure in the face of doubts.
Maxwell, who was on the side, said to William, "Alex won''t stand by. However, today is an excellent
opportunity and springboard for Ms. Scott if she can handle it and get recognition and praise from
the people in the circle, which will be helpful for her to maintain her position if she marries Alex.”
William suddenly realized something, “Alexander, you are paving the way for Ms. Scott."
Florence''s ability was not limited to being an interpreter. When Alexander exchanged a nce with
Florence just now, he understood what Florence meant.
She wanted to fight with him instead of enjoying his giving under his wings.
His woman was proud in her bones.
She wanted evenly matched love.
Currently, Florence had not yet reached the same height as him, but sooner orter, they would be
partners and fight together.
Florence frowned; what she donated could not be fake because it was a gift from her mother on her
eighth birthday.
Because she had always been hiding it, Allison could not snatch it.
Florence picked up the bracelets and looked at them. Andrew says anxiously to the appraiser,
"Recheck it."
There were more and more discussions off the stage.
Colleen sat in the middle row. She looked at Florence on the stage and seemed worried for her.
"Thomas, could you think of a way to help my sister? If there are rumors that she donated fake
things at a charity dinner, she will be a joke. My sister wants to help the children in the
mountains, and she told me just now that it doesn''t matter how much money you donate; what
matters is sincerity."
Thomas frowned, “There is no conclusion yet; don''t jump to conclusions so early."
"I am just worried about my sister. I would have exchanged her bracelets with the Hermes bag I
donated if I have known it early. She is now the goddaughter of the Cooper family. What if she has a
bad reputation and the Cooper family dislikes her."
Colleen seemed to be helping Florence, but she was undermining Florence.
What did she mean that it was not important how much was donated?
She implicated that Florence’s donation might be fake, so she said that.
Donating a few hundred dors was also goodwill.
In just a few words, Colleen stroke Florence when she was down and tried to pretend that she was
kind and generous.
Colleen''s Hermes bag was on the stage; it was iid with diamonds and shining brightly, and
nobody could ignore it.
Colleen''s voice was not too low or too high, but it was just enough to make all the people around
her hear clearly.
No one knew that Colleen once was in the detention center. As soon as Colleen''s wordse out,
there was an immediate reaction among people.
"Mrs. Hudson, you are so sincere and kind, and you and your sister have an excellent rtionship."
"There are only three Hermes ssic bags of that kind in the world when it was released. I don''t
expect you to have it, and you even donated it generously."
"Yes, there are not many people who are so kind as you."
Amidst everyone''spliments, Colleen smiled modestly, “This is what I should do, the children in
the mountains are so pitiful, and now I have a baby, I cannot see the children suffering, so I think
what I do is a blessing for my baby."
"Mrs. Hudson, you’re pregnant? Congrattions, no wonder I haven''t seen youe out to gather
with everyone for so long."
Colleen continued to smile, with a happy look on her face, “I just got pregnant not long ago."
"Congrattions, Mr. Hudson, you are fortunate to have such a good wife."
Thomas smiled stiffly.
Colleen secretly rejoiced in her heart; she deliberately let everyone know that she was pregnant to
show people that she had firmly taken the identity as Thomas’ wife.
But at this time, a person said in the crowd, “How could the Hudson family let an illegitimate son
attend such an important dinner party."
"The Tuckers didn’te today too. The illegitimate son and the illegitimate daughter are a match."
When these words reach Thomas’ ears, he suddenly became angry, but he did not dare to retort.
Colleen was also a little angry.
Thepliments from others were only superficial. The illegitimate childbel of her and Thomas
was not changed in people''s private thoughts.
The results of the third-party appraisal on the stage had already been out, and it was still the same.
"These bracelets are fake."
Andrew looked solemn; since many people said they were fake; they must be fake.
Did Florence donate fake ones?
"Florrie, how do you think?" Andrew wanted to ask Florence if they were fake, then he would find a
way to cover this matter.
Florence said very seriously, “Godfather, this pair of bracelets were not the ones I donated. One of
my bracelets was identally dropped by me once before. I remember there were a little w on it,
but these ones do not have the w."
Florence showed it to Andrew.
“It''s really wless."
Abigail, the staff in charge of keeping the donations, was so scared and was about to cry, “Ms.
Scott, I didn''t touch it when you handed it to me. That is the one that you donated."
If Florence the responsibility on her, she should go to jail.
Florence looked at Abigail and asked, “You haven''t touched it, so you could guarantee that others
haven''t exchanged it? This pair of bracelets have always been under your sight?"This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
