Semua Bab My Roommate's Halo Is Built on My Money: Bab 1 - Bab 9

The sharp-eyed Vera immediately spotted my pale face, and she covered her mouth to hide a triumphant smirk. "Cynthia, didn't I tell you? The rich see you as nothing more than a blood bank! As long as you don't die, they'll just keep taking your blood!"Hearing that, Sean lowered his head in guilt and apologized to me. "I'm sorry, Ms. Lawson. It was an emergency, so we drew roughly 150 mL of your blood. How are you feeling now?"Before he could finish, Andre hurriedly handed me some health supplements he had bought earlier. "Cynthia, pick anything you like and take a bit right away!"I waved him off. "It's fine. I just got up too quickly and felt a bit dizzy, but I'm okay now."Vera clicked her tongue in disapproval. "Cynthia, I'm telling you, don't push yourself in this situation." She sneered. "Do you really believe they only drew 150 mL? I don't! They're definitely lying to you!"I stepped back slightly. "I know exactly how much they took. The measurement was clearly visible.

My mind went completely blank. "What? What charity gala?"The dean's patience was thin. "You don't even know about something this big?"He quickly forwarded a news article to me. "Vera donated ten million dollars to impoverished regions, plus a villa?" I exclaimed.As I looked up, I accidentally bumped my nose against Sean's."You okay?" I asked, reaching out instinctively to check on him. His ears turned red, and he waved me off. "I'm fine. What is this news about? Vera? You mean that young lady from earlier?"Sean looked incredulous. "She actually donated that much?"I pressed my lips together and slammed my fist onto the bed. "That was my money! It was the money you and your father gave me!"Vera was just an ordinary young lady. There was no way she could afford to donate ten million dollars. Besides, I had just lost 30 million dollars and the villa keys, and she'd immediately made this donation. It was far too coincidental to be real.Sean suggested calling the police,

It was only then that I realized just how dedicated journalism students could be. Less than a minute after Vera spoke, my name and the Walker family were trending online.Curious whispers rippled through the crowd. "Who is she?""Sounds like a woman.""Judging by Vera's expression, I already know exactly what kind of person she is."The guesses were ruthless, completely engulfing me like a tide.Vera remained calm. "I once considered her my best friend, but do you know what she did behind my back?"All eyes turned toward her, hungry for the story. She paused, then said slowly, "She became the Walker family's mistress."The room went silent, then erupted."Sean isn't married. Does that mean she—"Someone in the audience raised a skeptical question, and Vera responded with a firm answer confirming it."Yes, that's correct. Mrs. Walker was expecting, and Cynthia chose the easy way to make it in life. She sold herself to an old man and ruined another family to get ahead."At

A wave of shocked gasps rippled through the crowd, followed by a collective intake of breath. The live stream chat exploded, the comments flooding in faster and faster."What the hell is going on?""Did I hear that right? Fake donation? Seriously?""Vera's reaction seems off. Could it actually be true?"Under everyone's watchful eyes, I pulled out my phone and brought up the evidence. According to the record, funds had left my account three hours ago and were transferred back not long after. The account that initiated the transfer was registered under Vera's name.Everything lined up perfectly.Disdain spread across the crowd as all eyes turned to Vera."I have never seen someone this shameless in my life!""She faked a donation and still made such a big show of it? That is beyond embarrassing!"The tone in the comment section shifted instantly."I knew it. Vera always looked mean and calculating. She never seemed like a good person.""I had my doubts about her too, but she
