Chapter 556
The next day, Yulissa held a press conference as the second inmand of the Willing Angels
Foundation.
She dragged Dean along and released the evidence of his embezzlement in front of countless media
outlets.
“Ladies and gentlemen, our foundation has already conducted a thorough investigation regarding the
embezzlement of funds by a senior executive that was brought to light on the inte two days ago.
The evidence indicates that the director of the finance department, Dean Worrell, misappropriated a
total of nine point six two million in donations and not three hundred million, as rumored. Therefore, we
urge the public to view this matter rationally. Please do not exaggerate or twist the facts.”
As soon as her words rang out, the entire ce plunged into an uproar.
“Twist the facts? Is nine point six two million not money? How many donations did it take to make up
such a staggering amount? We willingly donated out of the kindness of our hearts, but unknowingly, it
ended in your own pockets. How despicable!”
“Exactly! It''s downright heinous! Today, it''s the director of the finance department embezzling, but it
might be another senior executive tomorrow. No wonder you want to buy substandard goods and pass
them off as quality products. The money we donate is far from enough for you leeches!”
“The general public trusted you greatly and transferred their money into your ount, but you''re
corrupt and rotten! How could you betray the hopes of innumerable people?”
“How impertinent of you! Is nine point six two million a paltry sum in your eyes? Oh, I know. Could it be
that you''ve embezzled ny-six point two million yourself, so you find this a drop in the bucket? It
turned out that the Willing Angels Foundation is rotten to the core. How heartless! Don''t you all fear
karma to pocket such money?”
“Where''s the person in charge of the charity foundation behind the scenes? And where''s the
phnthropist, Betty? Ask them toe out. I want to ask whether they''re trying to profit off the public
by spending so much to establish their kind personas!”
“I agree! Hurry up and ask them toe out! We want to hear their exnations!”
“If they don''t, we''re going to take it as them hiding out of guilt! Could it be that they deliberately
condoned Mr. Worrell''s embezzlement of charity funds?”
“In hindsight, such a possibility does exist. The money might have ultimately ended up in their pockets.”
“Never had I imagined that Betty would actually turn out to be such an evil person, establishing an
angelic persona for herself and fooling the public into making donations. Is she not afraid that God will
strike her down?”
“Silence! Please be quiet, everyone! Please allow me to exin properly, okay?” Yulissa bellowed at
the top of her lungs at the side, but she couldn''t get a word in edgewise.
Tha naxt day, Yulissa hald a prass confaranca as tha sacond inmand of tha Willing Angals
Foundation.
Sha draggad Daan along and rasad tha avidanca of his ambazmant in front of counss madia
outs.
“Ladias and ganman, our foundation has alraady conductad a thorough invastigation ragarding tha

Tha avidanca indicatas that tha diractor of tha financa dapartmant, Daan Worrall, misappropriatad a

As soon as har words rang out, tha antira ca plungad into an uproar.
“Twist tha facts? Is nina point six two million not monay? How many donations did it taka to maka up
such a staggaring amount? Wa willingly donatad out of tha kindnass of our haarts, but unknowingly, it
andad in your own pockats. How daspica!”
“Exactly! It''s downright hainous! Today, it''s tha diractor of tha financa dapartmant ambazzling, but it
might ba anothar sanior axacutiva tomorrow. No wondar you want to buy substandard goods and pass
tham off as quality products. Tha monay wa donata is far from anough for youachas!”
“Tha ganaral public trustad you graatly and transfarrad thair monay into your ount, but you''ra
corrupt and rottan! How could you batray tha hopas of innumara pao?”
“How impartinant of you! Is nina point six two million a paltry sum in your ayas? Oh, I know. Could it ba

turnad out that tha Willing Angals Foundation is rottan to tha cora. How haarss! Don''t you all faar
karma to pockat such monay?”
“Whara''s tha parson in charga of tha charity foundation bahind tha scanas? And whara''s tha
phnthropist, Batty? Ask tham toa out. I want to ask whathar thay''ra trying to profit off tha public
by spanding so much to astablish thair kind parsonas!”
“I agraa! Hurry up and ask tham toa out! Wa want to haar thair axnations!”
“If thay don''t, wa''ra going to taka it as tham hiding out of guilt! Could it ba that thay dalibarataly
condonad Mr. Worrall''s ambazmant of charity funds?”
“In hindsight, such a possibility doas axist. Tha monay might hava ultimataly andad up in thair pockats.”
“Navar had I imaginad that Batty would actually turn out to ba such an avil parson, astablishing an
angalic parsona for harsalf and fooling tha public into making donations. Is sha not afraid that God will
strika har down?”
“Snca! asa ba quiat, avaryona! asa allow ma to axin proparly, okay?” Yulissa ballowad at
tha top of har lungs at tha sida, but sha couldn''t gat a word in adgawisa.
Left with no other recourse, she could only snatch the microphone from the moderator''s hand before
roaring, “Silence, please! I''ve already lodged a report with the Department of Justice, and they''ll be
investigating this matter. If anyone else in the foundation is corrupt, we''ll definitelye down on them
hard. As for Dean Worrell, we''ll be handing him over to the court.”
Her interjection had them cease moring at longst.
She slowly turned and pinned her eyes on Dean, signaling him to speak up and confess to his crime.
A gleam of derision glinted in Dean''s eyes.
Sure enough, they pushed me out at the end of the day. After today, I''ll be ruined entirely. Worse still,
they''re nning on handing me over to the Department of Justice to be judged and convicted. How can
I merely sit back and do nothing? So long as Iplete the task given by the mayor''s daughter, I''ll be
spared from going to prison. Yes, that''s right! I''ve got to carry through her orders quickly!
At that thought, he snagged the microphone at the side and said to the reporters below the stage, “It
was the person in charge of the foundation behind the scenes who condoned my embezzlement
because I gave her seventy percent of the money.”
The instant his words fell, the reporters below the stage were shocked. Beside him, Yulissa was also
staggered.
“What nonsense are you spouting, Dean? When did Bai—the person in charge condone your act of
embezzlement? And when did you give her part of the money you pocketed?”
No sooner had she said that than the reporters below the stage and the crowd of onlookers started
hurling insults at her.
“Shut up! You must be feeling guilty that you''re so apprehensive, huh?”
“Exactly! Don''t think that you can intimidate Mr. Worrell. With so many of us backing him up, I don''t
believe you''ll dare kill him!”
“Carry on, Mr. Worrell. Don''t be afraid. We''ll back you up!”
Shuddering, Dean stammered, “A-Actually, the person in charge of the foundation and Betty, the
phnthropist, are the same person. S-She established the charity foundation and created the image of
a benevolent person who sympathizes with everyone to trick the public into donating to her. Then, she''ll
gain huge profits from it.”
Everyone fell silent, wholly shocked.
Like a bomb, Dean''s revtion set off massive shockwaves at the press conference.
“Whoa! It was really the person in charge of the foundation who condoned the embezzlement!”
“Good Lord! The person in charge of the foundation turned out to be the phnthropist, Betty! Damn it!
What a b*tch!”
Left with no other recourse, she could only snatch the microphone from the moderator''s hand before
roaring, “Silence, please! I''ve already lodged a report with the Department of Justice, and they''ll be
investigating this matter. If anyone else in the foundation is corrupt, we''ll definitelye down on them
hard. As for Dean Worrell, we''ll be handing him over to the court.”
“Oh God, such a feigned angelic act has truly given us a new understanding of the word

shamelessness and despicability!”
“Since you''ve exposed her, Mr. Worrell, go all out at once. Who exactly is Betty?”
“Yes, who is Betty?”
Following those two questions, Dean frowned slightly.
Ms. West didn''t order me to reveal Betty''s identity, so she probably has some other n. I''d better not
run my mouth, lest I disrupt her n.
“Sorry, but I really don''t know the answer to that. Betty never made an appearance from the
establishment of the Willing Angels Foundation until this very day. All I know is that she''s the person in
charge of the foundation, and that was because she wanted to falsify ounts through me to make a
profit.”
Beside him, Yulissa trembled in rage. She shot a finger out and pointed at him, her mouth twitching
multiple times. In the end, she hissed out three words, “That''s a lie!”
That retort was a touch weak, and she sounded as though she was guilty in the ears of everyone there.
“She must know Betty''s identity! Ask her. Everyone, let''s ask her! Coerce her into telling us the
answer!”
“Hurry up and tell us! Otherwise, don''t even dream of leaving this press conference hall!”
“That''s right! If you don''t tell us Betty''s identity today, we''ll all gang up on you and make you regret it!”
“Just listen to us, girl. Such a person isn''t worthy of you defending her to this extent.”
Yulissa was so frustrated that she was on the verge of tears.
Others might not know the truth, but she was all too aware of it.
Over the years, Bailey almost emptied her savings for the sake of doing charity. Who, among the
average person, would be willing to fork out tens of billions for nothing? She pretty much bankrupted
herself. But what did she get in return? I was wrong. It was my momentary carelessness that had now
put her in such a predicament. Verily, I''ve let her down.
“There''s no need to continue asking that. I''m Betty.”
Everyone around her gaped at her in surprise.
“Y-You''re Betty?”
“Cut it out! How could you possibly be Betty? Girl, are you sure you want to ruin your future and
reputation to take the me for Betty?”
“Yeah, don''t be foolish! That woman isn''t worthy of you doing such a thing.”
Sniffling, Yulissa enunciated through gritted teeth, “I''m not lying. I''m really Betty. You should all know
that it has always been me making the decisions for the foundation. Who else could be the person in
charge if not me?”
