Chapter 19
Yvonne thought Yolanda was no match for her.
She was a student of First Academy. Moreover, she was one of the best in her year.
Meanwhile, Yolanda was a criminal who had stayed in a juvenile detention center for three years. She was a pitiful creature whom her parents did not love.
Furthermore, soon Yolanda would be a worker at the bottom rung who couldn't even go to school.
To Yvonne, Yolanda wasn't even qualified to compete with her.
Regardless, as a wide smile was about to settle on Yvonne's face, Harvey's voice sounded.
"What are you talking about? I'm here because I hope Yolanda's parents will promise to let her attend First Academy."
Boom!
Harvey's words rip through the people around him like a thunderstrike.
They could hardly believe their ears.
They'd assumed Harvey was there to hold Yolanda responsible for stealing an acceptance letter. Yet, he was there to invite her to attend First Academy.
They couldn't believe the useless Yolanda could do something to warrant a personal visit from the headmaster.
They felt ashamed when they remembered their disparaging words about Yolanda.
Among the crowd, Yvonne's face paled. Her widened eyes were filled with disbelief, and she felt as if she had been casted into hell.
She had assumed Yolanda would be a pitiful girl who couldn't attend any school. Yet, it turned out that Yolanda could enter the academy Yvonne had been most proud to attend.
Even better, the headmaster personally came to invite her.
The stark disillusionment sickened Yvonne.
"What?" After a whole three seconds, Philip was the first to snap out of his trance.
He exclaimed in astonishment, "Mr. Coleman, you're not kidding, are you?"
Harvey's face immediately darkened.
"What's that supposed to mean? Do you think I'd come to your family's birthday party just to tell a joke?" Harvey questioned with a cold face.
Philip wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly corrected himself. "I'm sorry, Mr. Coleman. I misspoke."
Meanwhile, Diana was staring dumbly at Harvey.
She opened her mouth a few times before asking somewhat incredulously, "Mr. Coleman, you mean that this acceptance letter is real?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
The surprise was too sudden and surreal for her. She had wished she could pull some strings to enroll Yolanda in Riverdale City's First Academy.
But she never imagined that the headmaster of First Academy would come and ask her to let Yolanda study there.
"I gave her that myself. Of course it's real." After saying that, Harvey frowned. Diana's attitude was puzzling to him. "Are you perhaps against Yolanda going to First Academy?"
