Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 172

"Ned is to blame, not you. You did your best to protect me back then. You were the one who helped me in secret by contacting Professor Dickson. I know all about it, and I'm grateful to you from the bottom of my heart!" Angeline said to Edward.

After exchanging pleasantries with Edward, Angeline picked up her glass of water and got to the point. She informed him about the situation with Bradley, who had received financial aid for impoverished students but was dressed in branded clothing.

"I'm wondering if there's an oversight issue with the distribution of these funds," she said, her tone gentle.

She had no intention of causing trouble or suggesting the discontinuation of financial aid.

"I just hope the aid goes to those who truly need it. Otherwise, it would lose its meaning," she continued.

When she arranged for Vitality Biotech Group to provide this support, she specifically instructed the college to keep the list of recipients private to protect the dignity of the impoverished students. Still, it was inevitable that some people would exploit loopholes.

"You're right!" Edward exclaimed with a frown and nodded.

"Wait a moment, I'll have Mr. Franco come over and explain the situation. He's more familiar with the background of these impoverished students."

He made a call, and soon, Donald Franco, the deputy dean, arrived. After greeting each other, they began to discuss Bradley's case.

"Bradley does come from a rather difficult family. His father passed away in a car accident when he was in junior high school, and his mother abandoned him shortly after. Now, it's only his grandmother and him, and they barely make ends meet. His family relies on selling scrap for a living."

Donald handed Bradley's case file to Angeline and said, "This is Bradley's profile."

She browsed through the information and couldn't help but furrow her brows.

"I ran into Bradley at the coffee shop today. He was dressed in branded clothes and pretending to be Ned's cousin. From what he said, it appears that he easily spends around two thousand dollars just for a meal."

She examined Bradley's photo before handing the file back to Donald.

"I hope you can get to the bottom of this."
