[Chapter 37]

Donna thought that Debbie was too pretty as she watched lots of boys staring at her longingly from the audience. They were all talking about her beauty and her modesty.

"Everyone, smile at the camera," said the photographer. Donna was not even in his viewfinder.

After the photos had been taken, the hostess asked everyone to leave but stopped Alex and Debbie.

"Alex, please wait a moment. As the highest contributor, everyone is curious about your situation. Have you got a moment to talk?"

"Alex, please accept this interview," shouted one admirer.

"I want to know more about you, handsome," another girl said.

The audience began to cheer for him.

"Um, all right." Alex had no choice but to agree. He held Debbie's hand and stood in the middle of the stage.

"Alex, can I ask— is this girl your girlfriend?" The hostess asked a gossipy question at the beginning. Everyone was waiting for Alex's answer.

"That's right, she's my girlfriend," Alex replied and held Debbie's hand more tightly. He was feeling a bit nervous, afraid that Debbie might publicly reject him. However, when he saw Debbie smile shyly and lower her head, the fear in his heart was lifted.

In the audience, the girls were sighing heavily.

"Alex, can I ask why you didn't leave your name after the donation?"

"It's very simple. The purpose of my donation is to help the kids in the village, not to help my reputation. Also, one hundred thirty thousand isn't a lot of money to me, so, leaving my name wasn't important to me."

After he said this, the girls in the audience burst into cheers of praise. One by one, they shouted Alex's name loudly. Each time he looked at them, they felt elated.

"That's great. Please forgive me for being so bold. But, you're so rich, why don't you wear nicer clothes? And your girlfriend does dress well," the hostess said.

Alex was embarrassed and he replied, "I'm from a rich family, but I don't think I have to wear designer labels just because I'm rich. On the contrary, I feel more comfortable in basic clothes. As for my girlfriend, I love her and enjoy buying her nice clothes."

"You're too charming; I can't help but fall in love with you myself. Last question: you are so understated. In your life, has anyone ever misunderstood you?"

Alex's gaze fell on Donna and Darren, who was sitting in the audience. His lips curled up into a smile. "There is someone," he replied.

Alex was not a vengeful person. He preferred to sit and discuss things, but Donna and her boyfriend had gone too far just now. Not only had they insulted him, but they had also maliciously slandered Debbie, and this made him extremely angry.

"There was one guy who told me in front of everyone that I'm a loser and said that I can't even afford to eat in the cafeteria. His girlfriend said that my girlfriend isn't fit to wear clothes from the Autumn Beauty boutique and that the two of us are conceited."

When Alex finished speaking, the audience indignantly turned to look for the couple that Alex had talked about.

"We want to know who they are. They sound like they deserve each other. The speaks stupidity and the woman's mouth is cheap," one student said.

Someone else called out, "Alex has donated one hundred thirty thousand dollars. He's awesome. If you have the guts, stand up now and tell us how much money you donated."
