Kristina Kingston, as a senior member of the Kingston family, also gave a brief speech, mainly thanking everyone.
This was almost the climax of the charity gala, because she hadn’t appeared in public since that fire, and there were even rumors outside that she had died.
Countless media cameras went into a frenzy, capturing her every expression and recording every word she said.
As Justin Kingston’s wife and the newly appointed deputy CEO of the group, Mia Lane also spoke at such an important occasion—
"Thank you all for supporting charity, and thank you for your kindness." She was calm, confident, and graceful. "I have always believed that if everyone contributes a little love, the world will become a wonderful place."
Applause came in waves, and everyone cast envious eyes toward her.
Truly, it takes three lifetimes’ fortune to marry into the Kingston family, donating 1.5 billion just like that; imagine the money she could spend daily!
Tonight’s gala was broadcast live.
Every move at the venue was instantly spread, including on the screens of major malls throughout Riventhal.
"Oh my God, 1.5 billion? That’s huge!"
"Three times what it was five years ago, CEO Kingston is indeed generous!"
"Have they made more money these years? The group is expanding rapidly." Follow current novᴇls on NovelHub(.)net
"Having money is one thing, being willing to is another; there are many stingy entrepreneurs nowadays."
"So handsome and so wealthy, I envy his wife!"
"Yeah, I envy her too. Every morning when she opens her eyes, she sees such a handsome and rich husband; it would brighten anyone’s day, wouldn’t it? It’s a kind of happiness."
Countless young women stood and watched the live broadcast with excitement, their hearts pounding in excitement in front of the bustling malls.
In a certain apartment in Riventhal.
Monica Usher sat on the living room sofa, her legs crossed, coldly watching the computer screen on the coffee table. The frame-by-frame HD live footage stirred endless memories within her.
Five years ago, ten, fifteen years ago, she was the one by Justin Kingston’s side, standing in that position, making speeches, and receiving endless applause.
But now...things have changed.
For tonight, Finn Morgan had been preparing for months, and Monica Usher was aware.
Every event was always broadcast live, so she anticipated tonight would be no different.
Coldly watching the screen, seeing Kristina Kingston take the initiative to hold Mia Lane’s hand, the scene pierced deeply into her heart.
The smiles on their faces were so blissful, impossible to fake, purely from the heart.
Compared to her recent state of depression, the Kingston family lived leisurely, and suddenly Monica Usher felt it was all not worth it.
Her efforts had left her scarred, struggling to resurrect.
She felt unsatisfied, still clinging to a faint hope, consistently refusing offers from other companies.
She offended R-Alan Group, tricked Lydia Ingram, potentially facing life-threatening danger.
But what about Justin Kingston? Mia Lane? The Kingston family?
The family attended warmly, all wearing matching mother-in-law and daughter-in-law outfits! Flaunting their love to the world!
How did just a few days pass?
Mrs. Kingston was successfully won over by Mia Lane?
On the video screen, the evident smiles on those two women’s faces burned Monica Usher’s eyes. She snapped the computer shut, unable to continue watching!
With a cold expression, seated on the sofa, her emotions remained unsettled, growing angrier the more she thought about it, eyes filled with a light of hatred!
Kristina Kingston’s affection for her was fake! Her promises were lies too!
Though Justin Kingston didn’t love her, Monica Usher could accept that, since she never loved him either.
But Kristina Kingston?
Kristina Kingston genuinely approved of Monica Usher as the Kingston family’s daughter-in-law!! How could she do this?!
She had once given countless promises and hopes, how could she accept Mia Lane?!
Monica Usher couldn’t accept it, an inexplicable sense of shame surged from her feet to her heart, her blood rushed into her mind, feeling she might explode from anger!
