Chapter 1515 Seeing Through Yvette's Lies
Among the group of male students, one couldn't contain his curiosity and asked a bystander, 'Why are they being so respectful to that girl?"
"Don't you know her?" The bystander was astonished. 'She's currently one of the wealthiest people in
Hawford. That piece of land she acquired is valued at billions! Not to mention her accomplishments in other areas."
Terrence's heart grew heavier as the words sank in. The male students' expressions varied, but the weight of embarrassment was palpable. It was clear that they all regretted their earlier actions, but what could they do
now?
Being kicked out had already been humiliating enough. They couldn't stay there any longer.
As they walked away, one of them mumbled, 'Do you think Wynter is really that rich? We're talking billions here."NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
No one replied. They had all seen the reactions of those around her, and any attempt to deny it would make them look foolish.
"Yvette! You're in Hawford, too. Have you heard about what Wynter has been doing?"
Their curiosity was natural, considering how different Wynter seemed from the girl from Southdale they remembered.
Wynter used to be a girl who would trail behind Charlie like a love-struck fool. That was why they asked Yvette, thinking she might have some insight.
Yvette was agitated at the mere mention of Wynter. She took a deep breath and glared at the one who had spoken.
"Carnell, if you're trying to humiliate me, just say so. I don't know anything about her situation, nor do I know if she actually bought any land."
The group, who had always regarded Yvette as someone unattainable, fell silent, instinctively taking her words seriously. But today's events had truly shaken them.
Carnell Binet wasn't foolish. He scrolled through his phone as he quietly remarked, "From the way you acted earlier, it didn't seem like you didn't know."
Yvette clenched her fists. 'I may have been humiliated today, but that doesn't mean I'll let that manager get away with it.
"I was happy to see you all, but if this is the kind of conversation we're going to have, I don't want to hear any more of it! Are you implying that I'm lying?"
"I didn't mean it that way." Carnell shrugged. He noticed everyone's gaze and tried to ease the tension. "I was just curious. No need to get upset, okay?"
Yvette was still frustrated. "Is this how you show curiosity? Fine, I get it. The situation was bound to cause misunderstandings. Let's just forget it. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you all."
No one felt like eating anymore with everything that had just happened. They had indeed come to see Yvette, but now, the excitement from earlier had completely evaporated.
The news about Wynter weighed heavily on them like a massive stone, making it hard to breathe.
They couldn't help but wonder if their issues regarding employment could have been resolved if they had treated Wynter better before. Instead, they had offended one of the wealthiest people in Hawford!
Terrence felt particularly miserable, though he wouldn't admit it aloud. "Didn't you hear what Yvette said? The land acquisition could just be a rumor. We can't tell what's true or false. Think about it-could someone like Wynter really have acquired any land?'
Just as he was getting into his groove of downplaying Wynter, one of the male students handed his phone to
him. "The land acquisition is real. The news broke yesterday about the Hawford Development Zone. Its value might exceed even billions."
Terrence fell silent, his face turning crimson, as if he could bleed from the embarrassment.
The other male students came from families with solid backgrounds. They could tolerate a girl wanting to gain something from them or even a little white lie now and then.
But Yvette was different, often distorting the truth to suit her narrative
