Chapter 538

Chapter 538:
Today’s event was a charity fundraiser for a disabled children’s welfare home located in the suburbs. The facility provided year-round care and funding for children with hearing disorders. Rumor had it that the director of the home was also hearing-impaired.
Candice knew that Corless, a despicable character, would be attending the fundraiser. His interest in such charity events was due to today’s unique donation activity.
At the event’s conclusion, a random draw would be held among all donors. The selected donor would receive the title and certificate of the Charity Spokesperson of the Year.
This honor was particularly important to Corless, given his involvement in an ongoing lawsuit.
Mired in a rape scandal, Corless had hired a high-priced team of lawyers. If he could secure this honor, his chances of winning the case would improve.
Candice doubted that Corless was genuinely interested in charitable endeavors at this time.
She suspected he had ulterior motives.
Determined to foil his plans and secure a win for Belinda, Candice knew she had to find a way to stop him.
The location of the charity event was quite a distance away.
After her meal, Candice left, and it took her approximately an hour and a half to reach the welfare home located in the suburbs of Ploville.
The building had been standing for a century. Originally, it had served as a gathering place for churchgoers. However, someone had invested in its renovation and transformed it into a welfare house.
In front of the welfare house, there was a large, open lawn.
When Candice arrived, it was still early. The director of the welfare house was busy decorating the venue with the help of the children. They moved tables and chairs outside and arranged them neatly. The stage had already been set up. It was covered with a soft, red carpet and had a temporary background curtain, with the words “Charity Donation” written on it.

Standing beneath a tree, Candice silently observed their preparations. She had arrived early to see if anything seemed suspicious.
As she watched, a frown appeared on her face, and a hint of doubt flashed in her keen eyes.
After a short while, more than ten cars arrived, one after another. People from different fields who were participating in the donation gradually made their way to the venue.
Many of them appeared to be prominent figures in society, including some affluent women. Some were dressed extravagantly, wearing expensive gowns and precious jewelry, as if they were attending a lavish dinner party. A few even brought lacy parasols with them. Their affected behavior made Candice feel disgusted. Despite their wealth, they lacked the corresponding moral values.
Their morality did not match their high status. Rachel had been like them before, and she was eventually forced out of the Harman family.
