Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 512

Chapter 512:

Jada gave a small smile. “We’ll see how Madisyn responds.” She took a sip of her coffee, her eyes shining with resolve.

The boy returned to the first floor, where the other students were waiting for him.

“So, Bennie, how’d it go?” one of them asked, full of anticipation.

“Let’s talk at the hotel,” Bennie Palmer answered. Madisyn’s assistant organized a ride with the company’s cars to take the students to the hotel.

In the hotel room, the other students crowded around Bennie for news.

“Did she agree to keep supporting us?” one asked. “Betsey said if she stops the support, people will criticize her.”

“Yeah, hurry and tell us!”

The students were growing impatient.

They had been shocked when they first heard that the funding would stop. Even though their families had people who could work, they had grown lazy relying on the support. When they found out the money would be cut off, fear filled them. Their families had been scrambling for solutions when Betsey’s letter arrived, and without a second thought, they sent the students on a train to confront their benefactor.

Bennie glanced at the group and said, “I spoke with Miss Johns, but she’s not going to continue supporting us. There’s nothing I can do. If we keep pushing, she’ll have us arrested. You don’t want to end up in jail.”

The students’ faces fell into despair, and they broke down in tears.

Bennie looked away, feeling no regret. He was selfish by nature, which was why he had lost his sponsorship in the first place. Even though they had all grown up together, his own life mattered more. As long as he could secure the support and get ahead, their fate didn’t concern him.

Bennie went to bed to get some rest.

Everyone was deeply upset. One of the girls video-called her family to explain what had happened, only to be yelled at.

Aile, tall and slender, was filled with despair. Her family depended on the support money, and without it, she knew she’d face a beating when she got back home. The girl’s resentment toward their benefactor grew. She had given them a decent life, only to now cast them into misery. This wasn’t charity; it was cruelty.

In her anger, she furiously sent a private message to the benefactor on Twitter, venting her frustration: “You’re heartless! You promised I could finish college peacefully, and now you’ve stopped giving us money. Do you want us to die? You’re a monster, a bastard! Go to hell!”

She vented all her rage at Madisyn, ignoring the fact that without her financial support, they wouldn’t have had the opportunity to attend school in the first place. To her shock, Madisyn responded almost instantly—with just a question mark.

Caught off guard, the girl hurriedly typed, “Why did you stop helping us? Aren’t you supposed to be an angel? How can an angel watch us starve? If you don’t continue supporting us, I’ll expose you and make sure everyone knows.”

Betsey had drilled these words into her, instructing her to use this threat if Madisyn didn’t continue the support. Madisyn replied, “I never said I’d stop helping. But right now, my funds are limited, so I can only support one of you. Didn’t Bennie explain?”

The girl’s eyes widened in shock. Now she understood why Bennie hadn’t seemed upset—he had been planning to keep this opportunity for himself. She wasn’t going to let that happen. She was the one who needed it the most.

Bennie, lost in thoughts of his future lavish life, was humming to himself when the door flew open. Startled, he yelled at the girl standing there, “What’s your problem, you little brat?”

Emani Walsh slammed the door behind her, eyes blazing. “Bennie, you’re unbelievable! We came here together, and now you’re trying to take the support for yourself.”

Bennie was shocked—how did she replace out? Still, he wasn’t too concerned. He was the oldest, after all.

“Emani, stay out of this! There’s only one spot, and obviously, it’s going to be mine.”

“That’s nonsense! My family’s the poorest! I deserve that spot,” Emani shouted, charging at him.

Bennie fell backward, enraged. He slapped her hard, and Emani cried out, sinking her teeth into his arm until blood started to flow. Bennie screamed in pain.

The commotion caught the attention of the others, who began knocking on the door. “What’s going on in there?”

Being older, Bennie quickly came up with a plan. “Calm down,” he said. “If everyone hears about this spot, do you really think you’ll get it?”

Emani wasn’t foolish and chose to stay quiet.

Bennie called out to the students waiting outside, “I just knocked into the table. Go to bed—we’ve got to head back tomorrow morning.”

“If we lose the support, my dad is going to lose it!”

“Yeah, Bennie, there’s no way we can go back.”

Bennie responded, “Then stick around and wait for the police to pick you up tomorrow. Do you even realize what this is? This is extortion! Betsey tricked us. She did something bad, our benefactor found out, and now she’s using us to frame our benefactor.”

That was exactly what Madisyn had explained to Bennie. The commotion outside quickly settled down.

Emani shot Bennie a sharp look. “That spot belongs to me.”

“Alright, relax. I can’t hand over the spot, but I’ll give you half of the money I receive each month. Deal?” Bennie said.

Emani paused to consider. Half was better than nothing, and Bennie wasn’t going to give up that spot so easily. She eventually nodded in agreement.

The night was pitch black with not a single star in the sky.
