Chapter 24
Yolanda's actions following her return made Yvonne feel somewhat threatened.
After all, she hadn't expected Yolanda to be anything other than the weak and pitiful creature she remembered.
Much to her surprise, Yolanda had learned to fight back.
However, when Yolanda got into a public argument with their seniors, Yvonne no longer felt like she was in danger. Yolanda had even stated confidently that she would place first in her year.
Yvonne realized that, while Yolanda was no longer as cowardly after she returned from the juvenile detention center, she had become a reckless fool.
Yolanda raised her brow. "Giving up on acting like a poor, innocent little thing so soon?"
"I'm just telling you this for your own good. No matter how hard you try, it's pointless. You will always be beneath me. You'll never win," said Yvonne.
She thought Yolanda would argue or yell at her after hearing her words. Surprisingly, the person beside her simply smiled. Aside from that, Yolanda had no other reactions.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?" Embarrassed and angry, Yvonne tried to push Yolanda.
However, she failed. She widened her eyes in astonishment when Yolanda moved ahead of her in the blink of an eye.
Yolanda was still fat and heavy, but for some reason, Yvonne felt that she was much more agile than in the past.
Yolanda was completely unconcerned about what Yvonne was saying. She was debating whether she should stop by a bookstore to get some workbooks.
The education she had received in her past life was different from what was offered in Havaria's standard school.
Even though those subjects were easy for her, she wanted to be prepared since she had made a bet.
Once Yolanda left the private room, she treated Yvonne as if she were invisible. A person like Yvonne didn't deserve her attention.
"Dammit!" Yvonne's face twisted as she stared at Yolanda's back. Clenching her fist, she kicked a rock away in anger.
"Soon, you'll have to pack up your things and leave the Henderson family. We'll see just how long you remain so smug."
Yolanda bought a few reference books from a bookstore. After returning to the Henderson residence, she flipped through the books.
Once she realized the exercises in them were quite easy, she abandoned her plan of staying up all night to study.
Then, she turned on the old computer and logged in as a guest on the hacker website she had made in her past life.
Suddenly, a message popped up.
Yolanda clicked it open, and her hand froze around the mouse.
The message was short. It was a cryptogram made up of 36 numbers. Some of the key information within the cryptogram was only known to her.
Suffice to say, this was probably a message for her.
Shortly after, she decoded the cryptogram.
When she saw the decoded message, she stared at it for a whole two minutes.
"He finally showed up?" Yolanda thought of the man who was more gorgeous than her four brothers collectively. He was as cold and aloof as a venerable deity, yet he would soften in her presence.
Despite his repeated claims that he didn't like her, he would always pretend to run into her. He would also pretend that he was coincidentally going to the same places as her for the same errands. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
He had disregarded everything to shield her from danger back then, and he was the only person who could fight alongside her when she was alone on her mission.
When she remembered the moments they shared, her heartbeat quickened.
She had always believed that her efforts back then would not be in vain, and she was certain the man who had died to save her would be reborn.
However, she didn't expect him to keep her waiting for two years.
Coincidentally, the message showed that he was in Riverdale City. Moreover, he could very well be at Riverdale City's First Academy.
Staring at the message on the screen, Yolanda smiled. "First Academy, huh? I kind of wish school started sooner now…"
…
The next day, Yolanda got up early in the morning and went out for a run.
The toxins in her body had gradually decreased.
However, her weight, which had increased due to the toxins, couldn't go down naturally for the time being. If Yolanda wanted to get her body back to normal, she had to exercise more.
After she finished her three-mile run and returned to the Henderson residence, she saw Diana, who was also in sportswear. Diana was bending over and leaning against the villa's main entrance.
