Chapter 373
Eastern Alley Welfare Center is small. They did not accept any new kids these two years. Including Shelley and the others, fewer than twenty people were in the center.
Rainee transferred a hundred thousand dollars to them every month. This was enough to keep this small welfare center going.
‘A hundred thousand dollars. It should be enough.’
Julian pursed his lips, “The donation from Ms. Spade has stopped since last October.”
Stella’s expression changed, “What did you mean by stopped?”
Julian did not know much. Once, when he went to find Shelley, he overheard the conversation between Shelley and Cecilia at Shelley’s door. Only then did he know that the Jewell family’s donation had stopped since October last year.
The social donation to the welfare center was very limited. They mainly needed donations. from the Jewell family to keep the center going. So, when the donation stopped, the welfare center did not last long until they encountered difficulty.
Initially, Shelley thought something had happened to the Jewell family, and they had forgotten to transfer the donation. But when the donation was not transferred even after three months, she suspected something was wrong. So, after discussing it with Cecilia, they went to the Jewell residence to talk to them about it.
Julian was on summer holiday at that time. So, he secretly followed them.
It was August. The temperature outdoors was around one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Shelley and Cecilia waited outside the house for more than three hours. But Albert did not come out to
see them.
When the sun was almost down, Sophia came out, But she came out to turn them away.
She said that their company’s operations encountered some difficulties. And they could not continue to donate to the welfare center. She also said they spent a lot of money on treating Rainee’s illness all these years. Sophia said that they had done everything they could for them.
Julian was very reserved when he told Stella what had happened. What actually happened was a lot worse than what he said.
Sophia said that the Jewell family already had one worthless person to support. They did not want to support another bunch of worthless people anymore. She also told Shelley and Cecilia that it was Rainee who promised them. She said Rainee should be the one to honor the promise and not the Jewell family.
