Chapter 551
The moment the news of the expired tampons broke, everyone’s eyes turned to the scene.
Lemira was quick to grab a pack herself, and sure enough, the expiration date had long passed.
Sophia immediately demanded, “Who on earth was so careless to buy expired or nearly expired tampons? Do you have any idea what kind of fallout this would cause if the media caught wind of it p>
Silence fell over the room.
Sophia continued, “Who here bought this brand of tampons p>
Lemira, clutching the tampons, spoke up, “Our family purchased this brand, but I assure you, they were not expired p>
She had always insisted that the donations they bought should offer the best value, even if they weren’t the most expensive.
Susanna immediately sneered, “So it was you who bought the expired tampons. Why are you even trying to deny it? You probably misappropriated the funds, and when money ran short, you went for the cheap stuff p>
Lemira turned to Sophia, “We can’t be the only ones who bought this brand. Since everything got mixed up, how can you be sure it was us p>
She wasn’t about to take the blame without evidence.
Sophia nodded, “You’re right, we need to get to the bottom of this. Don’t worry, Ms. Langston, I won’t accuse anyone without proof p>
Susanna opened her mouth to continue her taunts, but Sophia stopped her.
Turning around, Lemira noticed Evelina was nowhere to be seen. She asked Susanna, “Where’s Evelina p>
“She went to the restroom to dry off after you spilled water on her. And now you’re looking for a scapegoat p>
Ignoring Susanna’s jabs, Lemira quickly messaged the foundation’s head: “Who was responsible for purchasing the tampons, and where were they bought p>
Lemira had a sinking feeling in her gut.

She’d suspected Evelina might fudge the paperwork for some kickbacks, but what if the “twofaced” girl was actually as greedy and foolish as she feared
s
Before long, a staff member arrived with another box. “Ms. Sinclair, we checked,
and this box is also full of expired tampons p>
The room erupted in shock.
Lemira marched over and saw the box was labeled with her Aurora Trust.
Her head spun with anger. Her suspicion was right.
Sophia approached, her tone stern, “Ms. Langston, this isn’t a small
matter what we hadnt nouded the expiration dates? What if
someone used these faulty products and got hurt?” s
Taking a deep breath, Lemira replied, “I’m sorry, I just found out myself. I’ll get to the bottom of this p>
Sophia sighed, “This isn’t something that can just be cleared up with an investigation p>
People around them began to chime in: “Exactly, we only allow those with a solid reputation to join our charity drives you wouldn’t have been here if Ms. Sinclair hadn’t vouched for you.” s
“Some people just don’t know how to appreciate an opportunity, buying expired
goods like this. If word gets out, it’d be so humiliating p>
Sophia quickly intervened, “Alright, let’s not jump to conclusions p>
Lemira had nothing to say at that moment. The evidence was damning, and there was no room for denial.
Mrs. Amanda spoke up, “Lemira, you should look into who’s responsible. Sometimes people don’t follow orders as they should p>
With Mrs. Amanda’s attempt to ease the tension, Lemira nodded, “I’ll investigate thoroughly p>
Susanna scoffed, “I bet someone siphoned off the funds, and now that the accounts are frozen, where would she get the money for donations p>
Lemira shot her a cold glare, “Susanna, remember that your words have legal consequences p>
