Novel Bin Chapter 652 - Even Father Doesn’t Know
Chapter 652 Even Father Doesn’t Know!
Everyone listened in silence as Luna spoke about her vision to provide all of these homeless children a warm haven and an opportunity to attend school.
The expressions on the faces of the guests didn’t change much. Vivian was the city lord’s daughter, and everyone listened because she told them to, not because the stories Luna was telling were very touching to them. They were merely listening as a gesture of respect to Vivian, or more so the city lord.
“Teacher Luna is such a good person.” Amy looked up at Luna with tears shimmering in her large blue eyes.
“Jeez, her eyes practically glow when she talks about things like this.” Vivian looked at Luna with a smile on her face. She then swept her gaze through the wealthy businessmen present, and her brows furrowed slightly. These people didn’t appear to be as enthusiastic as she had anticipated.
Mag’s eyes were also focused firmly on Luna. She was a young mistress who had left the comfort of her noble family in Rodu to come all the way here to Chaos City just so she could become a teacher. Furthermore, she had always been dedicated to helping homeless children, planting the seed of hope in their hearts.
There were some people in this world who dedicated themselves to doing good deeds for no return, doing things that other people quite frankly thought to be stupid.
These people were known as saints.
Mag didn’t feel anything toward these so-called saints in his past life, but after transmigrating to this world, he suddenly developed the feeling that these saints made the world they lived in a better place.
Luna was perhaps not a complete saint from head to toe, but the acceptance and love radiating from her body were very touching to Mag.
If it weren’t for her, the three years that Amy and Alex had spent in Chaos City would surely have been even more arduous.
It was her who had sowed the seed of kindness and hope in Amy despite her poverty.
How could he not want to approach such a selfless and adorable person?
Perhaps it’s time I did something to repay her, Mag thought to himself. The restaurant was well and truly on track, and business at the ice cream was also booming. As such, it wasn’t a difficult task for him to donate a substantial sum of money.
Is there something going on between her and Mr. Mag? Scheer’s gaze switched between Mag and Luna as a curious look appeared on her face.
“I didn’t think there were so many poor children in our Chaos City...” Gloria looked at Luna with a sympathetic expression on her face.
“She really is a good girl, but being a good person is a very difficult and often thankless task.” Camilla shook her head before turning her gaze away from Luna and back to Gloria. She petted the black cat in her arms, and gently asked, “Little Black, what should I do to swindle this beautiful woman into my hands?”
“Mistress, I suggest you give up on that pursuit. Chaos City isn’t going to just stand by and watch as the young mistress of the Moreton Family gets abducted. Also, please call me Caesar!” The black cat was trying to dodge Camilla’s hand, but was unable to escape in the end.
“Do you think I’d stoop to a lowly tactic like abduction?” A deriding sneer appeared on Camilla’s face. She looked at Gloria and licked her lips as she said, “If I don’t win her heart, how will I be able to unlock more positions?”
“Who was it that was constantly talking about throwing prey into rucksacks and abducting them?” The black cat rolled its eyes.
“Shush!” Camilla’s hand balled up into a fist as she aimed a gentle punch at the cat’s head. She looked at Gloria with a serious expression, and said, “This time, I’m going to use my charm to completely conquer this beauty.”
“Meow-” The black cat whined in a pitiful
manner.
“This matter should be taken care of by the city lord’s castle; it’s just that the city lord’s castle really doesn’t have any more funds to spare. Who would have thought that Luna would be stepping up to speak out on the issue? If Old Man Field hears about this, he’s definitely going to write a letter to chastise me.” Michael shook his head with an embarrassed look.
Jeffree stood beside him with his brows furrowed slightly, seemingly deep in thought about something.
“What a load of nonsense.” Cyril looked at Luna with a derisive sneer on his face.
“I want to set up a foundation to raise funds for these children. These funds will go toward providing them with daily necessities to ensure their survival while also striving to create opportunities for them to receive education.” Luna paused for a moment before looking down at the wealthy businesspeople below the stage with an earnest expression as she continued, “Ladies and gentlemen, would any of you be willing to contribute the first batch of funds to the foundation?”
The entire banquet hall remained silent. All of the guests were unconsciously avoiding Luna’s gaze, and no one was willing to step up.
“These bastards!” Vivian clenched his fists with rage. She had expected that it would be difficult to get these stingy businesspeople to donate, but she didn’t think that Luna’s pleas would receive no support at all. These people possessed the vast majority of wealth in Chaos City, but they were all so stingy!
Luna’s expectant gaze also slowly turned into one of disappointment. She had experienced rejection of this kind many times in the past. Requesting donations in the Aden Square very rarely ended up being a successful endeavor, but she didn’t want to give up on this opportunity to try and secure donations from so many businessmen.
“Teacher Luna, I’m willing to donate all of my money to buy food for those children!”
Right at this moment, a tender voice sounded
Everyone turned round, only to discover a little half-elf girl with her little hand raised high in the hair. She stepped forward with a serious expression and got up on the tips of her toes to give herself a bit more elevation.
“It’s that half-elf little girl! It’s Mr. Mag’s daughter!” someone exclaimed.
“Amy?” Luna was slightly taken aback as she looked at Amy. The light was reignited in her eyes as she squatted down and extended her hand toward Amy.
Amy strode forward and placed her hand over Luna’s before unfurling her fingers.
Two shiny copper coins were revealed.
“Teacher Luna, this is money I saved up myself; even Father doesn’t know about this! I’m giving it all to you now so you can buy some delicious food for them,” Amy said with a serious look on her little face.
“Yes, I’ll be sure to spend it wisely.” Luna clenched the two copper coins tightly in her hand as she nodded firmly. Even though it was only two small copper coins, they were feeling particularly heavy in her hand.
“Go, Teacher Luna! You’re the best!” Amy clenched her little fist as she gave Luna a sweet smile.
All of the guests were suddenly feeling quite embarrassed upon hearing this, and their expressions became rather hesitant.
“Heh, they’re just a bunch of stupid kids with no future and no one to look after them. Even if we give them food to eat and clothes to wear, they’ll only grow up to become low-class trash. Chaos City will only be better without them.” Right at this moment, Cyril emerged from the crowd and looked at Luna with a disdainful sneer as he said, “So why should we donate our money to you?”
