Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals

Chapter 1259 Trust Crisis

An influencer donated one billion dollars.

That was way more than the megarich corporations. It was totally unheard of.

The news rocked the online community.

Many Internet users, who loved drama, examined the list to check how much the rich and famous donated since they always advocated helping charities.

Then came the problem.

Lilyrose Commerce Guild was nowhere to be found on the list. Not a single local business had donated.

The public was not having it.

"Donations are coming from all over the country in the wake of a disaster, but none of the local businesses donated. Is there no decent soul in Lilyrose?"

"No way. Lil Dee signed onto Lilyrose's Lee Investment. He's not from that city, and yet he donated one billion dollars. I guess none of the locals think it's worth giving money to their community."

"Aren't there major corporations there? Sky Ocean Corporation and Shangrila Group were established there. They got Professor Whiteman as a spokesperson and poured a lot of money into marketing. They should save some for charity."

"I heard Lilyrose Commerce Guild raised 300 million dollars among their members. I don't see the organization on the list. I guess they kept the money to themselves."

"Lilyrose Commerce Guild can burn in hell!"

The Internet community labeled Lilyrose Commerce Guild the villain.

Livid, the locals wanted to protest in front of Lilyrose Commerce Guild, and their plan gained overwhelming support.

Desmond, a citizen from out of town, donated one billion dollars.

Lilyrose Commerce Guild was an organization that covered all the local businesses. Yet, no one cared enough to donate.

It was infuriating.

Darcy's blood went cold when she read the comments sent by her staff.

The guild was in trouble.

If not handled right, the matter could destroy Lilyrose Commerce Guild and her.

A rush of footsteps heralded the arrival of a group.

They were the members who were there the day before.

"Ms. Quint, the guild donated 300 million dollars. Why aren't we on the Red Foundation's list of donors?"

"My distributors outside the state called for refunds. The people are boycotting any products by local businesses."

"What's happening? The city's economy is on the verge of collapse. We might not recover for decades."

"I knew we can't trust some young person to be president. I regret giving my vote to you."

The group of members expressed their grievances.

Had they known, they would have made a personal donation.

They donated through Lilyrose Commerce Guild, but they did not make the list anyway. To make matters worse, they were accused of something sinister. Of course, they were angry and anxious.

Darcy settled them down. "Please be patient. 300 million dollars have been wired to the Red Foundation. We are inquiring why the organization has not made the list."

"The Red Foundation is an influential institution. They wouldn't overlook a transaction of 300 million dollars." "Did you take the money for yourself, Darcy?"

Hot with emotions, the members did not believe Darcy.

"Who said that? We all vouch for Ms. Quint. She won't do such a thing."

The heads of the Vikrams, Logmans, and Joestars rushed to the scene.

With their businesses facing boycott too, they panicked and came to get to the bottom of the situation.

They trusted Darcy was not the problem.

However, even the family heads could not calm the outraged group.

"You don't know that, Mr. Vikram. How can you guarantee Darcy isn't capable of taking the money?"
