Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife -
Chapter 261
Chapter 261: Chapter 261
Olga pulled a long face and managed to say "alright" with a sigh of despair.
’What to do next?’
After a while, Erlinda took the stage in the middle of the garden and made a speech. Then, everyone was free to donate in the boxes set up around the stage. There was no order or amount required for the donations, and everyone could donate as they pleased. Some people put checks into the box, some took off their expensive jewelry, and some directly transferred funds.
Attlee and Olga shared a glance, planning to escape to the restroom, but they were surrounded by guests curious about their donation amount.
"For our first donation, we should donate something meaningful," Olga said with a graceful smile to Attlee. "Let’s donate the rings we bought when we got married. They hold great significance to us and will prove our commitment to charity."
Everyone thought they would donate something of high value. Erlinda even had a couple of spotlights directed at them, only for them to donate a pair of platinum rings with just a few diamonds on them. The value of both rings probably didn’t exceed two thousand dollars.
They smiled and nodded at the crowd after making their donation, showing no signs of being strapped for cash.
Everyone was surprised. They couldn’t believe the people who spent 1.2 billion dollars on land were being so stingy with their donations! Their generosity was seriously lacking!
Erlinda signaled to the crowd, and someone immediately spoke up, "Mr. Harris, Mrs. Harris, this is just your opening act, right? There’s more to come? Mr. Harris surely has bigger plans for donations. Let’s see what Mr. Harris and Mrs. Harris will donate next. You guys spent so much on land, and your donations won’t be small, right?"
"Mr. Harris, don’t worry about shocking us!"
"Exactly."
Just as Attlee and Olga were about to leave, applause from the crowd stopped them in their tracks! Seeing the expectant looks from the crowd, they reluctantly took off all their accessories, including their watches, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, and put them in the donation box.
Seeing that their jewelry only amounted to about two hundred thousand dollars, Erlinda raised an eyebrow at Rosemary as if to say the best was yet to come.
Someone in the crowd asked, "Mr. Harris, I heard there was something big happening at your place today during the auction. What was it?"
Attlee and Olga looked awkward at the question. Wasn’t the big thing today their apology to Rosemary and Yoli being beaten beyond recognition? How did the news spread so fast, reaching them here so quickly?
"Mr. Harris, I heard you visited a mental hospital today. Were you there to make a donation, or?"
Attlee and Olga looked even more awkward and quickly left the donation box, pretending to go to the restroom. Many guests were curious about the mental hospital visit. What happened, and what was the situation?
Zachary, in the crowd, spotted a cool and noble figure casually eating cake again. No doubt, she must have leaked the news! Thinking back to the scene in the mental hospital today, Yoli ran into his arms crying, saying that Rosemary had deceived everyone with lies and had them sent to a mental hospital. Before sending them away, she even beat Yoli’s face until it swelled!
The Harris family raised this ungrateful ingrate for eighteen years, and she didn’t even appreciate it. She kept embarrassing them! She’s just causing trouble because she can’t have the guy she liked, right?
Zachary made up his mind, and he’s got to talk to her.
Rosemary was munching on pastries at the table when she heard an angry voice.
"Rosemary!"
Zachary stormed toward her, his face stern. "You still have the nerve to eat?"
A question popped into Rosemary’s head, but she continued to eat, swallowing the pastry in her mouth. She didn’t even glance at Zachary as she picked up a glass of coconut juice. She looked elegant and captivating as she held the glass. When she tilted her head back to drink, her slender neck and collarbone caught Zachary’s eye, making him swallow hard.
This girl really didn’t give a damn about anyone, but she was pretty, that’s for sure. He hadn’t noticed her beauty before, but ever since she left the Harris family, her cold and aloof charm was just too enticing. He almost forgot what he was about to say.
"Why did you send Yoli to the mental hospital today?" Seeing Zachary approaching Rosemary again, Yolanda quickly ran over and held his hand, asking cautiously but still smiling. "Zachary, what are you guys talking about?"
Zachary didn’t answer her. Instead, he stared at Rosemary, who clearly cared about him but pretended not to talk to him! It must be because Yolanda was present!
"I’m talking to you," Zachary continued. "You even hit Yoli? Look what you did to her face!"
Yolanda’s face was a mess today, her eyes welling up with tears as she applied makeup. Despite the pain, she piled on layers of makeup for tonight’s dinner party. Her face was swollen and looked a bit ridiculous.
Rosemary ignored Zachary and coldly glanced at Yolanda. "Can’t you keep your dog in check? It barks at me when it runs to me."
Dog? She just called him a dog! She’s mad because he was pursuing her before and then suddenly disappeared, right? She’s upset because he chose Yoli over her, decided to get engaged to Yoli, and abandoned her, right?
Rosemary didn’t bother with these two dummies. She was about to leave when Zachary suddenly grabbed her wrist!
"Rosemary, explain yourself!"
Even Yolanda was shocked. She didn’t expect Zachary to grab Rosemary’s hand in public. Zachary didn’t expect to lose control, either. Rosemary’s wrist was slender and smooth, and he didn’t want to let go. He didn’t expect Rosemary’s skin to be even better than Yoli’s.
At this moment, Rosemary furrowed her brows and angrily threw off his hand. "What’s your problem? You want to lose your hand?"
Her words brought Zachary back to reality.
"Can you tone down your hostility?"
Zachary understood. She was Queen Abby, a piano master and a top scholar. Of course, she would be a bit arrogant!
