Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 451

Chris was not just the dean of the academy. Since the Sawyer family held five percent of the shares in the academy, he had great influence on the academy's board of directors.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Sawyer!" Clara didn't think that an unintentional action she had done would bring her such huge benefits. She was elated.

"However, you have to keep this a secret. You can't tell this to anyone else. Yolanda can never know about this," Chris ordered.

His tone changed as his expression turned solemn.

Yolanda's support was Harvey. If she knew beforehand that her registration form wasn't submitted, she would surely go to Harvey for help. If Harvey had gotten a spot for her in the competition, all their efforts would have been in vain.

Even if Chris didn't believe that Yolanda could get first place in the competition, they still couldn't allow her to participate in the competition just in case.

The academy's board of directors often criticized Harvey for being too old-school because of how fair and just he was.

In reality, there was already a troop of people within the academy's board of directors who were against Harvey, and this troop was increasing rapidly in size.

Those who didn't join the troop wanted to safeguard themselves. Since they didn't want to offend either party, they naturally would not snitch to Harvey.

Instead of saying that these people were intolerant of Yolanda, it would be more of them wanting to bring Harvey down from his high horse.

If not, why would the high-and-mighty academy's board of directors gather with pitchforks and torches to attempt to expel Yolanda because of complaints from a small group of parents?

Those who didn't see Yolanda eye to eye were mostly from middle-class families. Students from the high society didn't care about Yolanda at all since her existence didn't affect them, so they wouldn't poke their noses into things like these.

"I understand. I won't tell anyone." Clara nodded aggressively.

Her performance evaluation was done by Chris. She wouldn't tell Yolanda about this unless she was the biggest fool in town.

Besides, she really didn't expect Yolanda to get first place in her exams. Even though she had now realized that there was a super genius in her class, if the academy board of directors couldn't tolerate having Yolanda around, it didn't matter if Yolanda's results were superb.

Yolanda was planning to give Gavin a gemstone as a gift if she were to stumble upon decent-quality gemstones, so she entered the shop to take a look.

Sadly, the raw, uncut gemstones that the shop had was worse than she had imagined. Not only were flawless, full-clarity gemstones not available, but she couldn't even find more than a handful of AAA-grade ones with visible inclusions.

Not only did Yolanda not find anything she was pleased with, but she had to also endure Nina Patel, the shop owner who rolled her eyes at her, so Yolanda left without buying anything.

"Hah! Why pretend to be a pro when you can't afford anything?"

Yolanda had just left, and Nina immediately grabbed her broom and swept some dust off the front of her shop.

"Haven't sold anything all morning. How unlucky!"

When she saw Yolanda walk into the antiques shop opposite them, she scoffed. "If you can't afford to buy an uncut gem, who gave you the courage to enter the antique shop under the Caldwell Group? I'll wait for you to be chased out!"
