Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 643

In the name of assisting her younger brother's homework, Mary successfully entered middle school.

However, that only lasted for a year because he didn't seem to have improved in his studies at all. Her foster parents didn't want to waste more time and told Mary to drop out and provide for him.

That incident also marked her first intense act of resistance, and through that experience, she met the most important person in her life—her savior, Yolanda.

Yolanda told Mary her eyes resembled her daughter's. She, too, wanted a beautiful and graceful woman like her as a mother, but she dared not fantasize about it. After Yolanda offered to sponsor her education, she personally delivered the first term's school fee to the foster parents.

She left after that. Unbeknownst to her, Mary never had the chance to attend school. Instead, her foster parents sent her to a relative's factory to work, claiming that Yolanda had broken her promise and stopped sponsoring her.

In reality, they had been using Yolanda's money—for Mary's school fees and living expenses—on their son instead.

It wasn't until six months later that Mary discovered the truth. After tremendous effort, she wrote a letter to Yolanda and told her about the story. She wanted Yolanda to stop sending them money because it wouldn't be used on her, anyway.

Not to mention, Yolanda would've felt scammed and cut ties with her family if she found out all her donations had been used on another child.

To Mary's surprise, Yolanda made a visit to the village again after receiving her letter. This time, though, she came with an official from the school district. They sought the village chief, pressured the foster parents to bring Mary home from the factory, and subsequently enrolled her in the nearest middle school.
