Chapter 18
"Mr. Coleman?"
Philip promptly stood up to welcome Harvey.
Harvey was also somewhat surprised to see Philip there.
"I heard that the Henderson family is having a birthday party here, so I decided to swing by. You're a member of the Henderson family as well?"
After leaving the jewelry store, Harvey was worried Yolanda would change her mind before she entered First Academy.
After all, an advanced hacker had far too many options for making money. If Yolanda didn't want to study, his offers wouldn't be enticing for her in the least.
She wouldn't be bothered if she didn't get recommended for admission to Creybia University. However, her admission would grant First Academy another spot in Creybia University's most renowned computer science department.
That was why, after much deliberation, Harvey asked his friend for the Henderson family's address. When his friend gave him the address, they told him the Hendersons were celebrating Vivian's birthday.
"Mrs. Henderson Senior, happy birthday. Here's a little something from me." Harvey walked up to Vivian and spoke with a smile.
When Vivian realized who he was, her expression instantly became much more solemn.
"You shouldn't have, Mr. Coleman! You're a very busy man, yet you made time to come. I suppose you're here for something important?" Vivian was astute.
She was aware Harvey hadn't stopped by intentionally to congratulate her on her birthday. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"Thing is, I'm here mainly to talk with Yolanda and her parents." When he said that, everyone's expressions changed.
"It's over!" they thought. "First Academy's headmaster already found out that Yolanda had stolen someone's acceptance letter."
In an instant, Diana's face was filled with despair.
The headmaster had personally come, and she was doomed to be humiliated.
From that day onward, she wouldn't be able to stand tall in front of the wives of elite families. She couldn't stand tall before her poor relatives from the Henderson family either.
Beside Diana, Yvonne smiled slightly upon seeing Harvey.
No doubt Yolanda would ever get to attend the same high school as her now.
That wouldn't only apply to First Academy. Every Riverdale City high school would reject Yolanda for her crime of stealing an acceptance letter.
That meant the good-for-nothing Yolanda wouldn't be able to attend even the worst academy in Riverdale City.
Their parents' love and the Henderson family's fortune would all belong to Yvonne and Yolanda could only live in her shadows as an ugly and useless wretch for the rest of her life.
If Yvonne wasn't around so many people, she would have laughed out loud.
Regardless, Vivian looked extremely upset across Harvey.
She'd expected her granddaughter to turn over a new leaf after returning from the juvenile detention center. However, it seemed that Yolanda was ultimately a lost cause.
At that thought, Vivian sighed and glanced at her grandchildren around her.
She then quickly turned to the headmaster. "Mr. Coleman, everything that Yolanda, that brat, had done was solely her fault. It has nothing to do with the Henderson family.
"You may punish her however you want. That's fine with us."
Harvey was taken aback at her words.
Punish her? All he wanted was to dote on Yolanda. Why would he want to punish her?
Oblivious to Harvey's expression, Diana glanced at the sweet Yvonne beside her. She feared that Yvonne, who was attending First Academy, would be dragged down by Yolanda. So she promptly echoed Vivian's sentiment.
"Mr. Coleman, Yolanda has always been a difficult girl who likes to cause trouble. If she has offended you in any way, I'll make her kneel and apologize to you right now!"
Diana's smile, hidden by her bowed head, widened at Yvonne's words.
