The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 69

“He’s handsome and oozes confidence. Is he a specially invited guest of the school?”

Ellinor had just finished her speech when she felt all eyes on her Curious, she turned around and was shocked to see Theo All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Theo? What was he doing here?

Theo’s gaze swept over Ellinor before he walked up to the microphone, adjusted its height, and spoke in his deep, captivating voice. “Hi everyone. I’m a family member of Ellinor’s. I’m here today to express our gratitude towards Creston University for their education and care of Ellinor I’m pressed for time so won’t be saying much I plan on making a donation to Creston University in Ellinor’s name, a new laboratory building, to show our appreciation.”

Ellinor Theo, are you okay?”

The auditorium was abuzz with surprise and shock.

Everyone was shell–shocked by this unexpected good news.

“Wow! He’s a man of few words, but he just donated a building!

“Such a handsome guy donating a building, is he Ellinor’s dad?”

“He’s here as a parent, so he must be Ellinor’s brother. But they don’t look alike at all!”

“He’s too young to be her father, isn’t he?”

The principal of Creston University excitedly stepped onto the stage, “Students, let’s thank Ellinor’s generous family and give a big round of applause for Ellinor and her family!”

Applause broke out, filling the room.

Yvette looked upset. Her pride was completely shattered, and once again, her limelight was stolen by Ellinor! In contrast, the three pianos her father had just pledged to donate seemed so insignificant!

Wasn’t Ellinor an orphan with no one to care for her? Who was this handsome and generous man to her?

Meanwhile

A female student rushed into the freshman language class, “Veronica, big news! Your brother just donated a building to the school!”

Veronica, who had just been scolded by her brother for her studies, still had red eyes. But hearing the news, she was over the moon, “I knew it! Although my brother scolded me, he still cares about me! He donated a building to the school to make the teachers go easy on me in exams!”

The student awkwardly said, “Uh… I don’t think your brother did it for you…”

Veronica didn’t believe it and waved her off, “Stop kidding, if it’s not for me, who else could it be for?”

The student regretfully said, “It’s really not for you, it’s for the senior Ellinor!”

Veronica’s eyes widened in surprise, ‘Ellinor? She’s also in Creston University?!”

The student had an incredulous expression, “Ellinor is an outstanding figure in Creston University. She was the top scorer in the national higher education exam, a record that has yet to be broken! I heard that she didn’t want to come to Creston University at first, but our principal personally persuaded her to come!”

“Right! Moran, the senior, has always been in love with Ellinor. He has been courting her for three years without success!”

The first piece of news made Veronica a little angry, but the last one was too much for her to take!

She liked Moran, but when he rejected her, he said he already liked someone else. She never expected that person to be Ellinor!

A classmate then asked. “Veronica, so your brother has two sisters? Is Ellinor your sister? Why does she have a different surname?”

Veronica answered impatiently, “Ellinor is not my brother’s sister!”

Confused, the classmate asked, “Then who is she? Why did your brother attend her graduation ceremony as a parent? And even donated a building for her

Veronica gritted her teeth, “She is…
