Mr. Topaz’s daughter was still in a vegetative state and might not wake up, but he never gave up hope.
Anthony saw Nolan too and walked toward him.” You’re here.”
Nolan smiled and nodded. “Uncle Anthony,” He put his hand over Maisie’s shoulder, “Let me introduce
you. This is my wife, Maisie Vanderbilt.”
Maisie politely greeted him, “I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Anthony courteously replied, “I’ve heard a lot about you and Nolan. You really are a match made in
heaven.”
Maisie smiled. “You’re too kind.”
The host did an opening introduction and invited someone from the organizing team to give a speech.
The LED screen on stage showed the area’s situation, where the donations went, and the organizers
invited the children from the villages to give their appreciation.
When the donation ceremony started, all the companies donated cash, paintings, and more, all costing
hundreds of thousands.
Anthony donated 100,000 textbooks and $150,000 in cash, welcoming a round of applause from the
attendees.
When the host saw the note from another donor, he looked extremely excited. “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs.
Goldmann, for donating $ 3,000,000 to build schools in the mountains.”
“$3,000,000 just like that. Only Mr. Goldmann could do that.”
“Not only has Blackgold been generating assets over the years, but this really isn’t much to the
Goldmanns.”
“We could never compare to Mr. Goldmann.”
The discussions around them were pretty loud.
Maisie turned to look at Nolan and raised her brows,” Mr. and Mrs.?”
Nolan said into her ear, “I’m not wrong.”
Maisie pulled at his tie. “You’re paying all of that. People are going to think that I’m just riding your
coattails.”
Nolan held her hand and looked around at the people.” I don’t mind that.”
Maisie smiled but didn’t say more. She waved to get the crew to approach, and when he did, she said
something into his ear.
Nolan watched her but didn’t stop her.
The crew walked to the stage and spoke to the surprised host. He then excitedly announced, “We got the
news that Mrs. Goldmann understood that it
wouldn’t be easy for the children to study in the condition they’re in, and she would like to donate some
learning supplies in her own name. She wishes that the children will be able to fulfill their dreams while
studying in a new environment.”
The round of applause was thunderous.
Maisie gladly accepted their praises.
Before the ball started, the children from the villages came to take pictures with Maisie and gave her
some gifts.
Maisie took their gifts, bent down to look at them, and smiled. “Thanks for your gifts. I’ll treasure them.”
The support teacher leading the children said with sincerity, “We really appreciate the supplies you have
donated. When the new schools are built, the children will no longer need to share textbooks.”
Maisie held her hand. “I know that it’s not easy for you either. I’m doing all I can for you and the children,
hoping that it can help
you.”
The teacher brought the children to prepare for the performance when Nolan walked next to Maisie and
smiled. “I didn’t know that my wife was such a philanthropist.”
Maisie looked at him. “Do you mean that I’m not usually kind?”
“No,” Nolan held her waist and smiled, “My wife is both strong and gentle in my eyes.”
