she is from the Speiser family, which is a prominent family in the field of finance. Why didn’t I realize that before?Seeing that Winnie was about to go out, he hurriedly stepped forward to open the door for her.Winnie rejected his help. “No need, Nathaniel. I can do it myself.”She was still very polite to him, especially in public, as if they were just business partners.However, looking at the polite yet distant Winnie, Nathaniel suddenly felt a sense of resentment in his heart.We could have been closer with one another…“Ms. Garland.” In the elevator, Winnie’s assistant, Jasmine asked tentatively, “Are the things you said, the earthquake and the principal of the elementary school, just now true?”“Huh?” Winnie, who was replying to work emails on her phone, suddenly raised her head. “Do you think I would lie about this kind of thing?”“No, no.” The look in Winnie’s eyes shocked Jasmine. “I didn’t mean that way, Ms. Garland. “The earthquake that year had left a deep impression on me. I saw many netizens have the same feeling as me. They watched our live stream just now, and they all commented that there were tears in their eyes. There are people who survived that disaster just like you, and a lot of people say they cried while watching the live stream and said they supported you.” Winnie frowned. “Justice will prevail. I merely stated the facts and the truest thoughts in my heart. Have those negative posts been removed?”“It didn’t take long for the other side to gain momentum again. They spent a lot of money on hiring ghostwriters. Should we hire ghostwriters as well? Otherwise, we can’t keep up with the pace of their smear tactics.”“Don’t fight with them in this.” Winnie was as cool as a cucumber. “Just block the keywords they use to speak ill of me. Suppress the number of negative posts, and we’ll be at peace. Do as I say.”“Okay, but…” Jasmine trailed off.“What is it? Speak your mind.”“Just now, I heard Mdm. Sumner mention that you later donated a lot of money to a lot of Hope Elementary Schools in mountainous areas. I think maybe we can reveal some news about this so that people on the internet will be on your side.”“No!” Winnie refused without hesitation. “The Hope Elementary Schools I donated to build are places for children to get an education. I don’t want to disturb their studies because of my personal issues.”As soon as Winnie finished speaking, the elevator door opened with a ding.Standing outside were two people waiting for the elevator.With a glance at the equipment in their hands, one would know that they were a reporter and a cameraman, so Winnie didn’t say more as she led Jasmine out.After the two ladies were gone, the reporter asked the cameraman, “They mentioned donations to build Hope Elementary Schools. Did I hear it right? And she said she didn’t want to disturb the children’s studies?”“Yes, you heard it right.”“So maybe I can find out more information from this aspect? The Hope Elementary School she donated will definitely be found in the mountainous area of her hometown!”Soon enough, the reporter discovered information about Hope Elementary School.What he had found was shocking.It turned out that Winnie had not just made a donation to build one Hope Elementary School in her hometown but also hundreds of other Hope Elementary Schools in the poverty-stricken areas of Chanaea.The principals of those schools were originally reluctant to be interviewed, but as soon as they heard that Winnie was being slandered online, they all agreed to the reporter’s phone interview and provided a lot of school photos.With that, more and more photos of the Winnie Building in each Hope Elementary School were posted online and spread throughout the whole network in the country.As a result, topics related to Winnie once again became trending, and negative posts related to her foreign nationality and the illegal drug incident Nate used to defame her dropped in viewership.Besides Hope Elementary Schools, Michael and Rachel, whom Winnie had helped before, also took the initiative to contact the reporter to speak out. Rachel was the trafficking victim abducted
