Chapter 217

“Anything special about it?” Madeline took the document and asked curiously.

The guidelines for becoming a member of the Charity Association have always been clear-cut and transparent. As long as anyone fulfills the requirements, they can apply for it.

Although Madeline was the chairman of the Charity Association, she would not go through every detail of every applicant unless there were special circumstances that required her to interview the applicant or if she was requested to do that.

“You will know once you read the contents, Ms. Madeline.” Albert deliberately refrained from revealing what was inside.

Madeline produced the documents and when her eyes fell on a photo that was attached to the application form, she immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

The more she stared at the photo, the more she felt a sense of trepidation.

“Rowan Solace? Is he from the Solace family who controls the number one oriental conglomerate in Doskoustein?”

“It’s him, alright.”

“Isn’t he looking down on us all along? Why does he make the first move and hold out an olive branch to us this time? Or could it be that there is someone in our association who garners the respect of the Solace family so much that they are finally starting to make their move?”

Madeline continued to admire the photo of a mature man who exuded charisma, and she could not help but heap praises on him.

“The only daughter of the Solace family, Annalise, is returning to the country to continue her activities. She has the full support of the Solace family, and because of that she is also one of the nominees for the Ambassador for Philanthropy of Imperia.”

“So, to surmise, the Solace family is planning to give her their unrelenting support since Annalise is coming back to the country?”

“Yes, you can say so. According to reports, Rowan is indeed Annalise’s elder brother.”

“From what I heard, Annalise was a stray a long time ago, and she was only reunited with the family a few years back. That is probably why she is the apple of everyone’s eye, and in order to perfect her image, she is venturing into charity. In only just a few years, with the support of the Solace family, she has captured a few ambassadors for philanthropy awards of other nations. Imperia is probably just a stepping stone in her illustrious career.”

Albert was explaining what he had discovered in detail.

Madeline mulled over some thoughts and found that she was a little envious of this golden child.

It was one thing to be filthy rich, and it was another story to be loved so much.

“Not bad. The Solace family is pretty influential. They will add value to our progress in charity. This is good news! However, the Solace family is brimming with talent and they are always near the top of the list of richest families. Why does the sole daughter of the Solace family decide to come back to the country to continue her career?”

“I have looked into this too, but I didn’t get much out of my investigations. I vaguely heard that it has something to do with Ms. Solace’s marriage.”

“I see, that will really go down in history!” Madeline was already in a flowery mood as she entertained the idea of that marriage.

She would kill to know who could be so fortunate to be in talks of a marriage with the sole daughter of a huge conglomerate.

Madeline lamented as she turned her gaze towards Annalise Solace’s information right below Rowan’s. She had a delicate and alluring face. There was no mistake that she was a beauty in her own right.

Annalise could look the part of the Ambassador for Philanthropy of Imperia compared to Angie who had much to be desired.

Various thoughts were churning in Madeline’s mind as she flipped to the next page.

When she saw the name of the next applicant, she froze.

“Joseph? He wants to be a member too?”

“That’s right. What’s more, Joseph ticks all the boxes in terms of requirements. It’s going to be hard to stop him from being one of us.”

After all, these nominees had been filtered by the association collectively. Although Madeline was the chairman, she couldn’t just outright exercise her power to stop someone from joining.

If she did that, she would be suspected of abusing power for her own benefit.

“Ms. Madeline, are you alright?” Albert nervously asked as he saw what happened. He immediately came to help Madeline to regain her balance.

“I’m fine. They’re the VIPs, so we make way for them.”

Madeline watched this group of people and commented noncommittally.

At this moment inside the association office, Annalise was flanked by Liam and their team of bodyguards as they made their way in. Her gaze swept across the office before she decided to take a seat. She was actually sitting down on the main seat around the meeting table.

The moment she sat down, Professor Seeker who was going through some files immediately had a darkened expression.

“Who do you think you are? This is the meeting room of the Charity Association, and we have an important selection procedure that is imminent. I advise that you guys leave if you have no important business. Don’t come in and cause a ruckus.”

Robert Seeker, who turned sixty this year, was a professor at the University of Imperia. At the same time, he held the position of the head of the association.

Although he held a part-time position here, he was widely regarded and respected due to his vast knowledge and his reputation for churning out the best students.

There were a lot of major capitalist players who were his disciples in this association. Although everyone had their own designation here, they still greeted Robert amicably as Professor Seeker, which was a warm gesture.

He was able to be part of the judging panel due to a special invitation by the management of the association.

He was notified about his duty to have a meeting with the chairman about the nominees, but he never knew he had to entertain some guests. That was why he was a little annoyed when he saw this group of unknown people barging in.

“This important lady here is Ms. Annalise Solace of the Solace family. Who do you think you are? Watch your mouth!” Liam was already quite dissatisfied with the way they were treated. He couldn’t believe that there was no receptionist or employee to cater to them when they just reached. So when Professor Seeker started to throw shade at him and his group, he retorted indignantly.

“Ms. Solace? This is the office of the Charity Association, where we do the bulk of our work. There’s no one here with that title, so you better go somewhere else and not interfere with our work!”

Professor adjusted his glasses but he never even glanced at Annalise, not even once. He dished out his ultimatum and asked them to leave.
