Chapter 3160: Chapter 3249: One Wave Unsettled, Another Arises
Suddenly, a wave of outcry surged online, all condemning Olivia Lewis for hyping up the donation fraud scandal.
Sunny had just left Jeremy Payne’s house; she drove the van to the apartment front, only to find her phone bombarded by calls from various media outlets. Initially, she didn’t know what was going on, but after answering a couple of calls, she understood the situation and her face changed.
She turned off her phone directly, and with a serious expression, told Olivia Lewis in the back of the van, "Olivia, something has happened. Watch the TV."
"What’s the matter? Wasn’t that issue just resolved?" Olivia’s phone had a private number, known only to friends, and hardly any media reporters, so her phone wasn’t ringing.
"Just watch the TV first!"
The van had a car TV, and with Sunny’s constant urging, she found the remote control and turned on the TV. It happened to be showing entertainment news, and suddenly she saw her photo displayed on the screen.
"Breaking news, this afternoon at 6:30, an explosive interview surfaced online. A popular female artist had publicly promised to donate 45 thousand to a certain orphanage at a press conference.
However, the orphanage’s head revealed in a media interview today that they have not received any donation from the popular star. Moreover, when contacting the star’s staff, they were rudely hung up on, faced with humiliation.
Unable to endure it, they decided to accept the media interview to expose the true face of the star. We now show you the video clip released online."
The TV screen suddenly changed to a man, back to the camera, processed with a blurry filter standing in front of the camera, indignantly accusing, "I’ll say it again, we have not received Ms. Lewis’s donations, and we don’t know why countless articles online claim our orphanage got the money."
A reporter off-camera asked him, "Are you implying Ms. Lewis committed donation fraud?"
"She either gave the money or not; doesn’t she know herself? Anyway, I can’t stand those who boast in front of the media about things they haven’t done. We received no money! I don’t know whom she gave the money to, but it certainly wasn’t to us."
"We heard you contacted Ms. Lewis’ staff afterward?"
"Ah! Of course, I contacted them! How could I not! The internet was buzzing with news of her donating to us, and I thought about using that money to build a library for the kids. We waited and waited, and no money came; I couldn’t wait any longer. So I contacted her staff, and what did I find? The person said Olivia Lewis never intended to give money! He didn’t receive any money from Olivia either; surely he wouldn’t pay out of his own pocket!"
The man continued with clenched fists, furiously saying, "He even said... said it was just an entertainment industry publicity stunt. Who would take it seriously? Saying I was foolish to believe it. He lazily suggested that if I want the donation, I should keep waiting. Apparently, someday Olivia Lewis might remember and donate to our orphanage."
"I have told the kids about building the library. They were so happy, waiting for the library to be built so they could read and learn inside. I never thought there could be someone in this world who would use children’s hopes as a tool for publicity. Now, every day, the kids eagerly ask me when the beautiful sister will build them a library; they’ve made gifts to give to the lovely sister, thanking her for building them a library so they can see books..."
