Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 361

"You got caught stealing, and you still have the nerve to blame Yvonne?" Harold yelled.

"Dad, Mom, I didn't frame Yolanda," Yvonne muttered with tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked utterly aggrieved.

"Although Yolanda and I may have had some misunderstandings recently. I admired her a lot when I was younger. How could I have possibly framed her? Back then… At that time, many people saw it when she was caught…"

Yvonne didn't know why Yolanda suddenly brought up what happened three years ago, but it had been so long that no evidence was left to prove Yolanda's innocence. So, she wasn't worried at all.

Diana got up, walked over to Yvonne's side, and gently patted her head. "Stop crying, Yvonne. You're our daughter. Why wouldn't we believe you? Wipe away your tears and go upstairs to sleep."

"Do you really believe me, Mom?" Yvonne looked up at Diana pitifully, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Of course. You've been sensible and obedient since you were little. I believe you." Diana forced a smile and helped Yvonne up from the couch. She urged, "You should go sleep now."

"Alright. Goodnight, Dad and Mom." Yvonne wiped away her tears and headed upstairs.

As soon as Yvonne left the living room, Diana sat down beside Harold with a worried look and asked, "Honey, Yolanda won't listen to us. How are we going to explain this to the Savage family?

"Mrs. Savage has always been dissatisfied with Yolanda and keeps making sarcastic remarks whenever she sees me at gatherings.

"She keeps insinuating that I failed to educate my daughter properly… If this keeps up, I'm afraid she'll completely give up on the engagement between our families."

Harold massaged his temples in frustration and replied, "If even you can't control our daughter, what am I supposed to do? For now, we have to appease Mrs. Savage. You should take Yvonne over there more often. Maybe Gavin will decide to break up with Yolanda on his own before we know it."

He didn't care much about Yolanda. But if she had really been wrongfully accused…

Back then, Yolanda didn't necessarily have to go to the juvenile detention center. But during that period, she was too rebellious and had been caught stealing in front of a crowd.

Harold felt humiliated and wanted her to sincerely admit her mistakes so she wouldn't repeat them. He had intended to find a way to get her out of the detention center later.

But for some reason, Yolanda refused to admit any wrongdoing.

At that time, Harold's company had just started to take off. He had secured several major contracts in a row, so he didn't have the time or energy to deal with Yolanda. He decided to let her take the time to reflect on her actions in the detention center.

That forced reflection ended up lasting three years.
