Chapter 557
When Dean heard Yulissa''s words, a glimmer of surprise showed on his face. At the same time, guilt
flittered across his eyes.
In all honesty, the Willing Angels Foundation had indeed been good to him.
His sry in the past few years was several times the amount he made outside. On top of that, Bailey
paid him out of her pocket.
s, everyone possessed a greedy nature deep within.
As he saw many people transferring their money into the charity foundation''s ount each day, avarice
surged within him, and temptation started beckoning him. He couldn''t help the urge to reach out and
take some for himself.
But once he did that, things spiraled out of his control. He grew greedy and wanted even more.
“Why...”
Just as Dean was about to ask Yulissa why she was taking the me upon herself by iming that she
was Betty, he went silent with an icy re from her.
The look in her eyes was exceedingly cold and hard, seemingly saying that not everyone was an
ingrate like him. Sheer shame inundated him, and he hung his head, not daring to utter a word further.
Holding her head high, Yulissa stared straight at the crowd of reporters and onlookers below the stage.
In a firm voice, she asserted, “I am Betty, the person in charge of Willing Angels Foundation behind the
scenes. If you think that I instigated Dean Worrell, have the Department of Justice investigate me. If it''s
ever proven that I lined my pockets with charity funds, I''ll ept all legal sanctions.”
All the reporters exchanged nces.
“Is she really the person in charge of Willing Angels Foundation behind the scenes?”
“No idea. Anyhow, her courage in shouldering the responsibility ismendable. If Betty is some other
person, I can only say that the woman is really a coward, afraid to face us but sent a young girl out to
take the fall for her. Such behavior would be downright despicable.”
“Justice will always be served. I believe that karma will get the heinous people.”
“Since you''ve said as much, Ms. Childs, we shall wait for the investigative results from the Department
of Justice. If you truly embezzled, you''ll undoubtedly be convicted and sentenced.”
Whan Daan haard Yulissa''s words, a glimmar of surprisa showad on his faca. At tha sama tima, guilt
flittarad across his ayas.
In all honasty, tha Willing Angals Foundation had indaad baan good to him.
His sry in tha past faw yaars was savaral timas tha amount ha mada outsida. On top of that, Bay
paid him out of har pockat.
s, avaryona possassad a graady natura daap within.
As ha saw many pao transfarring thair monay into tha charity foundation''s ount aach day, avarica
surgad within him, and tamptation startad backoning him. Ha couldn''t halp tha urga to raach out and
taka soma for himsalf.
But onca ha did that, things spird out of his control. Ha graw graady and wantad avan mora.
“Why...”
Just as Daan was about to ask Yulissa why sha was taking tha ma upon harsalf by iming that sha
was Batty, ha want snt with an icy ra from har.
Tha look in har ayas was axcaadingly cold and hard, saamingly saying that not avaryona was an
ingrata lika him. Shaar shama inundatad him, and ha hung his haad, not daring to uttar a word furthar.
Holding har haad high, Yulissa starad straight at tha crowd of raportars and onlookars balow tha staga.
In a firm voica, sha assartad, “I am Batty, tha parson in charga of Willing Angals Foundation bahind tha
scanas. If you think that I instigatad Daan Worrall, hava tha Dapartmant of Justica invastigata ma. If it''s
avar provan that I linad my pockats with charity funds, I''ll apt allgal sanctions.”
All tha raportars axchangad ncas.
“Is sha raally tha parson in charga of Willing Angals Foundation bahind tha scanas?”
“No idaa. Anyhow, har couraga in shouldaring tha rasponsibility ismanda. If Batty is soma othar
parson, I can only say that tha woman is raally a coward, afraid to faca us but sant a young girl out to

“Justica will always ba sarvad. I baliava that karma will gat tha hainous pao.”
“Sinca you''va said as much, Ms. Childs, wa shall wait for tha invastigativa rasults from tha Dapartmant
of Justica. If you truly ambazd, you''ll undoubtadly ba convictad and santancad.”
Relief suffused Yulissa. Her legs went weak, and she almost fell to her knees. She quickly shot her
hand out and clutched onto the podium to steady herself.
I was the one who created this disaster, so I can''t let Bailey take the me. Instead, I should be taking
responsibility for this matter.
In the living room of the Luther residence, the Willing Angels Foundation''s press conference was being
broadcasted live on the gigantic LCD television on the wall.
Bailey lounged on the couchzily. When she saw Yulissa taking all the me, she slowly sat upright.
She''s too impulsive. Does she think she can help to exonerate me by taking on Betty''s identity? It isn''t
that simple. Since someone is making a move against Willing Angels Foundation, it''s evident that the
person knows I''m the person in charge behind the scenes. More urately speaking, I''m the reason
behind this disaster befalling the foundation. I''ve offended too many people that they''re going all out to
get me. This time, someone is trying to deal me a blow through the foundation''s scandal. Now that
things havee to this, I''ve got an idea of the mastermind behind this. Chloe... Ah, how forgetful of
me that I forgot all about the mayor''s daughter. She loves Artemis and is eager to climb into his bed.
Hence, she regards me as a thorn in her flesh and can''t wait to eliminate me. The chances of her being
the culprit behind this are high. I reckon she used her father''s authority and found out that I was the
registrant of the Willing Angels Foundation. Well, well, well... I''m really impressed by these women''s
capabilities. With just a tiny crack, they can take advantage of things.
“You truly invite hatred. Look, about all the women in the world regard you as an enemy.”
As Felicity''s voice drifted into her ears, it jolted her out of her thoughts.
shing her a sheepish smile, Bailey replied, “Indeed. It''s all thanks to your son that I''m now the public
enemy of all women in the world. If I''d known, I should''ve listened to you and given your son the boot. I
wouldn''t be in such trouble then.”
Relief suffused Yulissa. Her legs went weak, and she almost fell to her knees. She quickly shot her
hand out and clutched onto the podium to steady herself.
Felicity snorted before questioning, “You''re really the internationally-renowned phnthropist, Betty?”
Surprisingly, Bailey burst outughing. “How I hope I''m not right now. Look, they''re all saying that I
pocketed the charity funds for myself.”
“You''re not that kind of person, and I don''t believe you''ll do such a thing. There''s no need to listen to
those pesky flies buzzing out there.”
Arching a brow, Bailey asked with a smile, “You don''t suspect me? Who knows, I might be really
greedy.”
“Greedy? What about the tens of thousands of university students from impoverished mountain viges
who obtained education thanks to your sponsorship?”
For a moment, words eluded Bailey.
Felicity reached out and snagged the remote control. She switched channels twice, but they were all
broadcasting the charity foundation''s press conference. In a fit of pique, she turned off the television.
“You''re not fully recovered, so you can''t keep watching television. It damages your eyesight badly. Go
upstairs and rest.”
Bailey shook her head smilingly, a wealth of warmth suffusing her.
Waverly''s attitude had had her feeling down, but her future mother-inw before her managed to
soothe the hurt within her.
I''m d I met Artemis and will have an understanding mother-inw in the future.
Meanwhile, when Chloe saw Yulissa masquerading as Betty and taking all the me, she gnashed her
teeth in rage.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Argh! That idiot is utterly useless, good at nothing except boasting! Heh! Never mind, this is also a
good thing. After I find a suitable opportunity, I''ll publicize the information of Willing Angels Foundation''s
registrant. At that time, everyone will definitely think that Bailey pushed Yulissa out to take the fall for
her. Consequently, the public''s wrath will be incited. I shall see how she can continue living her days in
