Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 99

Felicia had an expression of shock when she turned to look at me. "William, who do you think the donor is?"

"Uh… I have no idea."

"I had no idea we had so many rich kids in our major. Still, 10 grand is on a different level.

"If it were in the past, I suppose Joshua could be a possible candidate. However, I have no idea where Joshua has gone. Plus, he definitely won't drop by just to donate to a charity. So, who could it be?"

I twitched my lips into a stiff smile. "Maybe they prefer to keep a low profile and don't enjoy the attention. Let's not bother with their identity."

Just then, the host continued, "This anonymous benefactor might just be one of you. It's a shame that we couldn't meet you today. Still, please accept our utmost gratitude on behalf of the underprivileged students. Thank you so much!"

The audience didn't bother hiding their admiration as they applauded away.

Meanwhile, Louis, Zack, Veronica, and several others bowed alongside the host. When I noticed that, I could no longer remain seated. It was just far too awkward.

"Ahem, Felicia? Let's go."

It would be best to leave the party now. After all, I had taken this opportunity to get to know Georgina and Martin. It was more than enough. I would try my best to recruit them for my father's or my own company if I had the chance.

Alas, I had just risen to my feet and held Felicia's hand when a beauty with her hair in twin ponytails suddenly pointed at me, blurting, "It's you!"

Her actions caught me off guard. I thought to myself, "Why does she look so familiar?"

"It's him! That's him right there!" she continued exclaiming, her finger never once wavering from my figure.

"He's the benefactor who donated over 10 thousand dollars! I remember him. I registered his donation that day. I would never mistake him for someone else!"

At that moment, everyone's eyes fell on me.

"What the hell? Him?"

"I was so shocked by his actions that his face was practically etched in my mind. I'd never mistake him for someone else!"

The host had a look of astonishment on his face when he snapped his head toward me. "She's one of the fundraising staff in this charity event. Since she's a witness, she wouldn't make such a mistake.

"Young man, are you the benefactor who donated 10 thousand dollars?"

After a beat, I had no choice but to nod in resignation. "I am."

"So, it is you! May I know your name?"

"It's William White."

"Fantastic! Then, let's give him a grand round of applause to Mr. William White as we welcome him to the stage!"

The smattering of applause grew louder and louder as the seconds ticked by.
