Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 194

A week ago, Alderburg University received a staggering fifty million dollars from an anonymous donor. After thorough investigation, we discovered that this generous contribution came from none other than Cynthia Lynwood of L.S. Entertainment.

Ms. Lynwood performed this noble act without seeking recognition, adding a touch of selfless love to the world. She is truly an unsung hero.

Let's give her a round of applause to show our respect!"

The hall erupted with thunderous applause.

Cynthia Lynwood stood frozen for a moment, then finally smiled and nodded to the students behind her.

"Now, let's welcome Ms. Lynwood to say a few words."

The applause grew even louder.

Cynthia's smile brightened as she was led to the stage by the event hostess.

"I... I never expected that such a small gesture would be noticed. Honestly, it's nothing extraordinary; it's simply what I ought to do. In this world, many people are quietly doing good deeds, and my contribution is insignificant in comparison. I hope that when you all step into society, you'll also give back to your alma mater. Thank you."

Another wave of applause swept through the audience, mingled with the excited chatter of students.

"Wow, she's not only beautiful but also kind-hearted!"

"Cynthia Lynwood is amazing! No wonder she's Mr. Vance's dream girl!"

Rock found himself speechless. He couldn't very well admit that he paid close attention to Serena and those around her. Instead, he turned his head towards Cynthia Lynwood and said, "Regardless, I don't believe she's genuinely charitable."

Serena followed Rock's gaze to see Cynthia Lynwood stepping down from the stage, surrounded by adoring students. She was like the center of a solar system, basking in attention.

Her expression was pleasant enough, but if one looked closely, they could detect a hint of impatience in her eyes.

Serena, too, had her doubts about Cynthia's charitable nature. But since the university president vouched for it, it must be true. Besides, anonymous donations are notoriously difficult to trace. If Cynthia was identified as the donor, it was likely intentional.

After all, with her impending marriage to Aaron, establishing a reputation as the charming, benevolent future Mrs. Vance could certainly win her a legion of admirers.
