Everyone swiveled their heads to look at Felicia the second she said those words.


    It was evident that Veronica wanted to stir the pot as she screeched, "You didn''t donate? The two of you attended the party despite not donating a single cent? How shameless! And here I thought you were a good person, Felicia.


    "It looks like you''ve learned some bad habits with that fraud of yours. God, I''m broke but I still donated 10 dors. You''re so cheap!"


    Veronica''s words immediately caused Felicia to flush in embarrassment. "I swear I''ll ce a donation after this."


    "Hmph! Look at you donating after receiving some good scolding! Where''s yourpassion?" Veronica shook her head with a pained look on her face.


    The others also regarded Felicia with looks of disdain. "So what if she''s pretty? She doesn''t have a kind bone in her body. I''d never marry a woman like her."


    "That''s right. Even though Veronica isn''t as pretty as Felicia, at least she''s kind. If I have to pick one to marry, I''d marry Veronica hands down."


    "People like Felicia are born golddiggers. She should get lost and whore herself out to the rich!"


    I balled my hands into fists as I gave those bullies a ferocious re. I wasn''t going to keep my silence this time.


    "Frankly, I have no idea what gave you the confidence to speak as though women would marry people like you.


    "If I may be blunt, men like you could only get a wife if you pay them at least 10 grand to marry you. I''d bet your wives will still despise you guys and run off eventually."


    "What did you just say?"


    My words immediately riled them up, swiftly redirecting their hostility toward Felicia to me instead. Some of them even rolled their sleeves up, intending to shut my mouth through physical means.


    Of course, I wouldn''t be afraid of them. So, I rose to my feet and waited for them to make the first punch.


    s, the teachers and the student council were quick to put a stop to that, reprimanding everyone severely.


    "What''s going on here? Stop this nonsense this instant! You''re at a charity ball right now. If you''re going to cause a ruckus, take it outside! Otherwise, being suspended will be the least of your worries!"


    The infuriated students sheepishly returned to their seats after hearing the threat of suspension.


    I snorted derisively before muttering lowly, "Come to the back of the dorm after the party if you dare! I''ll give the lot of you an ass whooping."


    They had taken things too far earlier and I wasn''t about to take it lying down. In fact, I wouldn''t be able to rest well if I didn''t teach them a lesson.


    They took a good look at me after hearing me say that. The stubborn re in my eyes probably convinced them I was serious.


    However, they merely harrumphed in disdain, saying, "Who cares what you think, you fraud? Get lost!"


    Felicia tugged my arm gently. "William, forget about them. I''m okay. I''ve had worse than this. It''s fine."


    Then, she took the opportunity to whisper that she hit puberty earlier than the other girls. So, she had always been rather well-endowed inparison to her peers.


    s, her growth didn''t gain her any praise. Instead, she only received mockery and humiliation. Her peers were envious of her. So, they ostracized her. At one point, she even thought about ending her life.


    Still, time came and went. She became numb to their abuse. Eventually, she chose to wear baggy clothes to take the heat off her. That way, she could avoid some of her suffering.


    I felt heartbroken for her. So, I hugged her tightly andforted her, saying, "Don''t worry. You shoulde to me if they bully you again. I''ll help you out."


    Meanwhile, Louis and Zack brought their respective partners to the stage.


    Regardless, the audience started stirring as theymented, "Hang on. There were 15 in the first round. 10 in the second and 7 in the third group. That''s only 32 donors. Didn''t the host say there were 33 donors?"
