Everyone at the Wildlife Foundation despised such cruelty.
Aurelia was slightly stunned, sensing something sinister about the situation.
"Keep security on him. I'll be right there," Aurelia said with urgency.
While driving to the Wildlife Foundation, Aurelia got a call from William. "Mommy, are you at the office?"
"No, sweetheart, I'm heading to the Wildlife Foundation. What's up?" Aurelia replied, her voice softening.
"I just stumbled upon a video that spooked me, so I wanted to call you."
"What video?"
"I'll text it to you."
William sent her a clip via WhatsApp. It was a "confession" from someone who abused animals.
The man's face was half-blurred by a digital mosaic, his arm marked with a skull tattoo.
"I've killed fifteen cats, twenty-five dogs, nineteen rabbits. I love to skin them alive—they don't die instantly. They howl, twitch, and roll in agony, and then I pour boiling water over them... I'm a monster, and I don't regret what I've done to those animals, but I'm scared of death and hell. I thought donating money could cleanse my sins..."
Aurelia shuddered with disgust and quickly opened up a news website. The video had gone viral, and comments flooded with curses. The netizens had cursed the animal abuser as fiercely as hell.
Her instincts told her that he was the guy who had made a donation to the Foundation and was causing a fuss to get his money back.
After she arrived at the Wildlife Foundation and walked into the conference room, Aurelia heard a man shouting, "If you don't give me back my money today, nobody is leaving this room."
