The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 The charity gala was a joint event with Kingston, Lockwood and Evergreen University? 

Everyone let out gasps of shocks when they heard the announcement from the professor. 

The three universities collaborating for the events were all top universities in their districts. They all had top students attending their universities and of course majority of the students there were of wealthy background. 

Darius scowled deeply when he heard this news. He hadn‘t even gotten over the incident that happened at the last gala he attended. He didn‘t even want to remember the horrible night he had at all. 

He hadn‘t wanted to go, but his roommates had forced him to go and Rudd even borrowed him one of his suits. After much encouragement he decided to go. As he expected, he was ridiculed and shamed by everyone when he was asked to contribute $200 to the money pool so that the orphanage could raise money to purchase hearing aids for deaf kids. 

Darius wanted to help, he really wanted to, but he didn‘t have that kind of money. He didn‘t even eat a meal that cost more than $20, and yet he was ridiculed because he was asked to provide an amount of money that was 10 times his feeding meal. 

That was last year. Now it wasn‘t just one university but three universities that were hosting this gala. 

Darius let out an exasperated sigh. It didn‘t matter. Even though he was now rich, he couldn‘t get over the embarrassment of more than 5,000 students laughing at him. He decided to just stay home and not attend the gala. It was even more reason for him to get his own apartment. If he stayed in the dorm, his roommates might force him to go to the gala again. 

“Also, we decided to add a little twist to the gala.” The professor said mischievously, garnering the attention of the students again.
