Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 148

At this moment, it seemed to Diana that Yolanda's top rank was likely a result of her frantic studying, driven by fear of being kicked out of the Henderson family. But soon after the entrance exam, her true colors showed again.

If someone was inherently lazy and vain, no amount of parental guidance would make a difference.

"Yolanda, if you ever lie or talk big again, don't expect any allowance from me!"

Yolanda merely glanced at Diana with a hint of indifference before walking past her and heading calmly to her room.

"Hey! What's with that attitude? I'm your mom! Can't I scold you? Stop right there!" Diana yelled at Yolanda's retreating figure.

However, Yolanda didn't miss a step. As she passed by Yvonne's room, she noticed a shadow under the door.

She didn't need to guess what was going on. Yvonne was likely eavesdropping and enjoying Diana's scolding from the other side of the door.

Her guess was correct. Yvonne was indeed pressed against the door, listening intently to the commotion outside. Only when she heard the door close in the adjacent room did she return to her desk to resume studying.

Even though Yvonne hadn't been able to help today, at least Yolanda hadn't gained any advantage either.

From what she knew about Diana, she could bet that Diana was probably fuming right now and was likely running low on any goodwill she had for Yolanda's top score.

"I won't give you a chance to surpass me, Yolanda, never!"

This was Bailee's dream job, and she managed to be late on her first day. For someone like her, finding a job would have been a miracle if she hadn't gotten in through connections.

Bailee, standing next to Eleanor, yawned wearily. She was late because she had been so excited the night before that she couldn't sleep and ended up waking up late.

If she had caught a cab immediately, she wouldn't have been so late, but Eleanor didn't want to spend the money on a cab. She thought being a few minutes late was no big deal for a newcomer, so they took the bus instead.

They managed to get seats on the bus and fell asleep. By the time they woke up, the bus had already reached the outskirts of town, and Starry Gemworks was getting farther away.

They had to scramble to get off and catch another bus back to the city. On the way back, they ran into another obstacle. Riverdale's marathon was taking place today, and the main roads were temporarily closed.
