The deputy mayor blinked, his body shaking fiercely. He was indeed a diplomatic fox. The next second, he put on a bright smile. While sitting down, he said, “I agree, Mr. Wheeler. The youngsters nowadays all have a personality. How cute she is! Hahaha...”
Others wiped their cold sweat off.
They had to admit the deputy mayor was quite nimble. At the last second, he was angry with the girl, wishing to skin her alive. The next second, he praised her enthusiastically. The girl turned from being impolite to "cute".
Kenneth behaved very well. He whispered to Timothy, “You’ve spoiled her, haven’t you?”
Even the arrogant myna bird was almost pissed off by Rylee.
Timothy glanced at Kenneth and said cunningly, “If you became a woman by surgery, I would spoil you as well. What do you think?”
Kenneth was startled. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Thank, you!”
The host asked, “Anyone donate for this performance?”
Timothy pressed on an acupoint of Kenneth’s knee. The latter let out a cry in pain.
It really hurt.
“Oh? Mister, how much are you willing to donate?”
The host looked at Kenneth with a smile.
Kenneth showed one finger in hatred.
The host immediately said in a cheerful tone, “Great! This kind gentleman offered a hundred thousand dollars! Thank you.”
Timothy cast a cold glance at Kenneth with hidden warnings, and the latter shivered. Immediately, he raised his voice and said, “No! Not a hundred thousand dollars!”
The host was taken aback in embarrassment. “Not a hundred thousand dollars? Ten thousand dollars?”
Kenneth looked a look at Timothy again and explained, “Someone enjoyed the girl’s performance a lot. It’s worth an award. I’ll donate one million dollars.”
He inwardly felt sorry for himself. If he didn’t offer a higher donation, his leg could be broken.
Wow!
All the audiences were agape, inhaling in surprise.
One million dollars!
A small charity event on campus could get a donation of a million dollars.
It was so shocking.
The host was also agape and forgot his words. Kenneth reminded him, “Excuse me, Mister. Are you supposed to thank me?”
“Oh! Right! Yes. Yes. Mister, it’s super kind of you. I highly appreciate your donation on behalf of the orphans!”
Thinking of the one million, the host wished that he was one of the orphans.
He clapped his hands first. There was applause in the hall.
Timothy lowered his head while looking on the cell phone, typing a text message.
Rylee received a text message later.
She tabbed to read and found that it was from Manfred. He said, “Rylee, great show. I listened to your song, and I was moved. So proud of you!”
Rylee immediately held the phone, looking obsessed.
However, she ignored another unread message, which was from Timothy.
Joseph ran over and yelled. “Rylee! Who is that man donating one million dollars for your performance? Is he your secret admirer?”
Rylee almost fell. “Who? Kenneth Keith? Don’t be kidding!”
That man was a repulsive playboy. She felt sickened.
“Rylee, you can’t be with Mr. Keith. I can tell he’s impotent from his face.”
Puff--
Rylee spitted water from her mouth. Looking at the students who were watching the fun, she wished to sew Joseph’s lips together. “I don’t know Mr. Keith at all. I don’t know him!”
The student started rumors, saying that Mr. Keith was Rylee’s sugar daddy.
The following performances didn’t have anything fun. The donations for them were about one to two hundred thousand dollars at the most.
Rylee’s program got a one-million-dollar donation from Kenneth, which became one of the trending news online.
“What should we do, Caroline? Does that Mr. Keith like Rylee?”
