章 93: Charity Events

"Hope for Scholars?" Amelia frowned as she tried to recall where she had heard that name from. 

Hope for Scholars… It sounded awfully familiar, as though she had heard that name in her youth. Her brow furrowed as she tried to place it. 

"It raises funds for students living in poverty, allowing them to seek higher education and better themselves to build better lives for their families," Emmeline continued to explain, a glint in her eye as she dangled her words like bait in front of Amelia. 

Against her will, Amelia found herself paying attention to her words. Was this Emmeline's attempt at an indirect jab about her past circumstances? 

Well, if so, she would be disappointed. Amelia was not ashamed of her poor origins. And she couldn't deny that she found this charity more meaningful as she continued to explain.
