Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 238

Yvonne's previously sour expression softened slightly at the words of the women around her. She put on a pitiful demeanor and gently tried to correct her classmates.

"Please, don't say that. You can't force feelings, and maybe my sister just fell in love with Gavin at first sight… Otherwise, why would she suddenly declare she wanted to be with him on the day of our engagement despite having just met?"

"Yvonne, you're just too kind. That's why she takes advantage of you!"

"Don't worry. I'll tell my parents when I get home, and they'll report Yolanda too!"

"We'll make sure you get the justice you deserve!"

"Thank you, everyone, but let's just forget it… After all, she's my sister..." Yvonne lowered her head in feigned sadness, seemingly unable to bear the sight of Gavin and Yolanda driving away together.

This reaction only garnered more sympathy from the women around her. Several classmates, especially those from First Academy, eagerly pledged to join the campaign to report Yolanda.

Yvonne, who had been acting despondent with her head down, couldn't help the victorious smile that curled on her lips.

…

Wednesday afternoon was club activity day at First Academy.

Yolanda, having not joined any clubs, packed up after class to leave. As she stepped out of the classroom, she saw Bryce coming down the stairs.

"Yolanda, are you free this afternoon? I was hoping you'd join me for the academy's volunteer event!" Bryce felt a bit relieved when he saw Yolanda exiting the classroom. Before this, he was worried that he'd come down too late to catch her.

Regardless of how close friends might be, everyone still deserved their own space.

"Yolanda, stop right there! I'm not done talking!" Bryce called out as he saw her preparing to leave, assuming he'd hit the mark with his question. "So I was right, and now you're feeling guilty, huh?

"I'm not against you dating, but you do know which between schoolwork and romance is more important, right? You're still young; you shouldn't throw your future away! Love can go away, and when it does, you might regret not seizing the opportunities you had.

"If you don't build a strong foundation now, how do you expect the Savage family to accept you in the future?"

Yolanda paused slightly in her steps, then turned to look at the somewhat angry Bryce. She was frowning when she reminded him, "You have your opinions and I stay out of your business. So, don't interfere with mine. We're merely classmates. You have no right to lecture me."

"Just classmates?" A flash of hurt crossed Bryce's eyes. "You said before that we were friends!"
