Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 696

Thanks to these funds, First Academy had offered more extracurricular activities than ever before. Losing all these benefits to Zenith Academy would severely impact their school.

"If you're worried about losing, why not just decline?" Yolanda was puzzled by Andrew's dilemma.

"Well..." Andrew was now regretting his choices. "I already accepted."

Under Yolanda's questioning gaze, he explained reluctantly, "They kept provoking us and looking down on our school. They called us country bumpkins and nerds who didn't deserve to compete for the Crystal Queen title, so I lost my temper and agreed."

"So why come to me? Do you want me to enter?" Yolanda asked incredulously. Surely Andrew was not desperate enough to pin their hopes on her.

Besides, Yolanda had zero interest in these meaningless competitions that focused on superficial qualities. She had never even attended the Moonlight Gala, despite the Hoffmans being one of the organizers.

"No... I was hoping you might know how to cancel this bet." Having accepted Zenith's challenge in the heat of the moment, Andrew now hoped Yolanda could find a way out.

"I can't help," Yolanda replied without hesitation. "Even if you wanted to cancel, would the students from Zenith Academy agree?"

She could technically resolve this through the Hansens or use her authority as president of the Titan Merchants Association. After all, many Zenith Academy students' families relied on the Hansens and Seinfields for business. But it would be absurd to involve them in such trivial matters, so she refused to do so.

He suddenly caught himself, changing topics. "Ma'am, I didn't mean... you're already incredible..."

"Instead of worrying about this mess, focus on winning the competition."

Yolanda had chosen to present herself this way, so she was unconcerned with others' judgments of her appearance. Whether well-meaning or malicious, she truly believed a person's looks weren't that important.

"Got it!" Andrew straightened up, abandoning thoughts of canceling the bet. Though victory seemed unlikely, he could only pray they would not lose too badly.
