Chapter 23
Nonetheless, everyone reacted differently to Vivian's words. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Joe's family looked pleased, while Diana looked extremely upset.
If Vivian simply wanted Yolanda to leave the family, Diana wouldn't say anything. However, Vivian was clearly being partial to her grandson.
Regardless of how displeased Diana was, she dared not express it to Vivian. All she could do was take her frustrations out on Yolanda.
"You good-for-nothing. You're normally so useless, yet now you're acting tough. I wonder what you're going to do once your exam results are out."
Diana's face twisted in rage.
She thought that if Yolanda hadn't bluffed shamelessly about how she could place first in her year, she would only lose her spot. She wouldn't have paved the way for Paul.
At that moment, Diana had forgotten that she had nothing to do with Yolanda getting a spot in First Academy. She was filled with unbridled rage toward Yolanda for thinking too highly of herself.
Alice smiled. "Diana, don't be so angry. If you cut ties with Yolanda, you'll get an empty room in your home. You could use it as a closet. That's not too bad."
Scott sneered, "A bet where you can see the outcome is not much fun."
"Indeed!"
Joe, who was Paul's father and Yolanda's uncle, said loudly with a grin, "Thanks to Diana, my son has a chance to attend First Academy. Paul, aren't you going to thank your aunt?"
"Thanks, Aunt Diana!" Paul promptly raised his glass toward Diana with a beaming smile.
From Diana's perspective, his actions were obviously a challenge. However, she couldn't lose her temper, and the pent-up rage boiled within her.
"Grandma, I have tuition later. I'll get going now." Yvonne stood up timely and said goodbye to Vivian.
Vivian nodded affectionately. "You're the most sensible. Go on, then."
"Okay."
With a smile, Yvonne picked up her branded handbag. When she passed by Yolanda, she asked purposefully, "Yolanda, do you want to go back with me?"
"Go with her," Diana said before Yolanda could answer.
Having Yolanda stay there would only annoy her. Besides, Yolanda would subject her to their relatives' derision.
Diana had wanted to send Yolanda away long ago, but she couldn't come up with a good excuse. Yvonne's timely invitation for Yolanda to leave together was just what she needed.
She sighed as she thought, "My youngest daughter is still the most sensible. Having one outstanding daughter is good enough indeed."
