Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 7

When Diana saw the look on Yvonne's face, she panicked.

Then, she hurriedly yelled at Yolanda, "Yolanda, you're just a young girl. How can you be so evil? Both of you are my daughters, so why wouldn't I love the both of you?

"I scolded you because you aren't hardworking, and you failed to meet my expectations!

"The reason why I'm so strict with you is because I want you to turn over a new leaf! Look at how you're behaving now. With a previous criminal record, do you think there'd be any school that would accept you?"

…

Yolanda ignored Diana's nagging and returned to her bedroom. Then, she locked the door and took out the antidote from the hospital.

Soon after, a sharp pain could be felt in her stomach. She gritted her teeth and endured half an hour of immense pain.

A few hours later, a black and sticky liquid covered Yolanda's body.

She opened her eyes and exhaled deeply before she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Since there were too many toxins inside her body, the antidote couldn't force it all out. She would need half a year to purge all the toxins out of her body.

As it was gradually removed from her body, Yolanda's condition improved.

It was morning by the time she had finished showering, and she approached her closet to change before taking a walk outside.

Yet, when she opened her closet, there were only a few clothes inside that were from three years ago.

The only outfit that Yolanda could fit into was her junior high school uniform.

After putting it on, she headed outside and jogged around the neighborhood. Then, she ate some churros from a roadside stall.

As expected, when she returned to the Henderson residence, Diana and Yvonne had already finished their breakfast. They didn't leave any food for Yolanda.

Diana was already dressed immaculately, and she looked at Yolanda in disgust. However, since she was worried that their conversation the previous night would affect the way Yvonne viewed her, Diana still spoke up.

"You came back in time. Since you don't have any accessories to wear for the art exhibit, why don't you buy a few pieces with me?" Diana walked away in her heels before Yolanda could reply.

The latter kept quiet and followed Diana outside. When they boarded the car, Yolanda sat in the passenger's seat. This made Diana pretty satisfied with her behavior.

Unexpectedly, she didn't scold Yolanda for embarrassing her. Instead, she just sat in the driver's seat coldly.

Soon, the car stopped at the most luxurious commercial street in Dowonair. Many renowned stores in Riverdale City were in the district.

Diana and Yolanda entered a jewelry shop that was made up of five floors. Once they entered the shop, they headed to the necklace section on the second floor.

"Pick one for yourself," Diana said.

Then, she scrutinized Yolanda and added, "We'll head upstairs to buy an appropriate dress for you later on."

Yolanda wasn't interested in jewelry, so she randomly picked a diamond necklace from the counter.

When the shop assistant saw her old uniform and fat figure, she looked disgusted. But she realized that Diana, who stood beside Yolanda, was donned in branded clothes and seemed to be wealthy.

As such, she carefully brought out the necklace and said, "This necklace is the latest item in our shop. This suits you like…"

The shop assistant stared at Yolanda's chubby face and tried to think of an appropriate way to describe her.

But before she could finish talking, Diana shrieked, "20 thousand dollars?"

When the shop assistant heard that, her smile froze.

"Have you finished choosing a necklace? Why are you so slow? If you have so much time to dawdle, why don't you spend it on studying instead?"

"I've seen everything, and I don't like them. Let's not buy a necklace," Yolanda replied coldly.

After hearing that, Diana thought that Yolanda was humiliating her in front of Zora.

"Why aren't you buying it? Do you really think we can't afford a necklace worth 20 thousand dollars?

"I just thought that the necklace you chose wasn't good, so I intentionally said that it was expensive. Don't behave like a country bumpkin here!" Diana scolded.

Just then, the shop assistant greeted someone at the entrance. "Welcome! What brings you here today, Mr. Coleman?"

Harvey Coleman, the headmaster of First Academy, entered the shop. He came from the Coleman family, which had a background of prestigious scholars in the family.

Harvey had chosen to become an educator while his brothers became businessmen. The jewelry shop belonged to his younger brother, Grigor Coleman.

In the meantime, Harvey nodded slightly at the shop assistant and said, "My wife's birthday is coming up soon, and I want to buy a necklace for her. Please give me some recommendations."

"Alright! That's not a problem!"

Since Harvey was almost as important as the owner of the shop, the shop assistant greeted him enthusiastically.

When Diana saw him, she straightened up. Yolanda probably wouldn't be able to enter First Academy, but Yvonne was in First Academy's elite class!

She wouldn't allow Yolanda to tarnish Yvonne's reputation in front of Harvey, so she instinctively grabbed Yolanda's hand and tried to leave the shop with her.

But before they could walk away, the shop assistant screamed, "Ah!"
