Their candid conversation made Millie blush, leaving her unsure how to respond.
Her decision to donate the money was rooted in Marcus’ apparent indifference to the amount. Since it wasn’t her earnings, holding onto it seemed less meaningful. Besides, watching Marcus speed down the track earlier had sent her heart into a frenzy.
Winning the money wasn’t her priority. Her only wish was for Marcus to cross the finish line safely.
Thus, she resolved to donate the entire sum, channeling it toward greater societal good.

Nancy approached and issued a biting rebuke.
“Plagiarist!”
“Plagiarist? What’s that?” someone wondered aloud.
“Have any of you read the news?” Nancy put on a fake smile as she glanced at the crowd.

Nancy swept her hand through her hair and delivered her words with a veneer of eloquence.

“As for the truth about the plagiarism incident, it will cto Light soon enough. And speaking of acting innocent, aren’t you the one acting prim and proper? You’re only revealing your own sordid intentions,” Millie fired back.
“The one with sordid intentions is you!” Nancy seized a bundle of money from the basket and flung it at Millie menacingly.
“Don’t act so innocent. Deep down, you’re probably desperate for this money. Your deliberate donation is just a way to flaunt your supposed superiority. Millie, you sicken me,” Nancy sneered maliciously.
