Xavier looked at her with sdispleasure, "Mom, things haven't been confirmed yet. Besides, Mr. Leach has
already released the surveillance footage, and there's absolutely nothing wrong."
"You're actually defending that little vixen! Don't forget who got Yvette into that situation, and Helen-she's still in
the mental hospital!" Selena was nearly shouting in rage.
Xavier took a deep breath, "It was of their own doing."
"Are you seriously speaking to r
like that? Do you actually like that woman?"
"Mom, stop jumping to conclusions and talking about irrelevant matters, Xavier said.
Selena's eyes were red, "I don't care about anything else. You need to get Yvette out of there right away. She's
pregnant, and | can't feel at ease with her being alone." But what good did worrying do? House arrest was
already decided, and at least she wasn't going to prison.

"Fine! If you won't help, I'll find someone who will!" Selena pointed at Xavier, barely refraining from unleashing a
torrent of choice words. She slammed the door with force, finally allowing Xavier to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Russell Group. Yonas was watching the public's reaction to the Aurelith University incident. Ever since the
media spread Urena's demands for 3 million, the public opinion on the whole event started shifting.
(I originally thought it was another case of a small-tindividual battling against big money, but it turns out
this was all about attempted extortion!]
(3 million! Thai's way too much. If she had asked for only a million, | might have gotten all fired up to support
her. But now, look at me, just a lowly employee earning 1,000 dollars a month, I should really just focus on
myself.]
There were many such opinions, and Yonas understood the portrayal of their sentiments well. Most people would
feel this way: if you're worse off than me, | can easily watch and sympathize with you as if it's entertainment. But
if you actually have a shot at outdoing me, there's no way | would support you, "Keep pressing down," Yonas said
in a deep voice.
The assistant nodded. In fact, ever since Aurelith University disclosed the surveillance footage from the
counseling room, many baseless critics of Yasmine had already given up and even deleted their posts on their
own.
Various renowned psychologists have been assisting Yasmine in clarifying the situation. From their professional
perspective Yasmine's statement about the three days was perfectly reasonable. In fact, it even offered Teresa

Yonas saw the unedited version of the video, whereas the version circulating publicly was altered. Although
releasing Teresa's medical details might have been more beneficial for Yine, the school chose not to do it. This
decision was made at Yasmine's request. After Teresa's downfall, Yoselin's video went viral. The eldest daughter
of the Russell family had spoken up for Yasmine the day before, only to fall ill the next day right at the gates of
Aurelih University. It was like being dealt a harsh slap, landing squarely on Yoselin's face, as well as on Yasmine's,
Many questioned Yasmine's abilities, not denying the prestige of the Dekker Competition but suggesting she
might merely possess a wealth of theoretical knowledge without real-world experience - merely an armchair
strategist. Since the incident began, Yasmine has not given any reply.
The assistant pushed the door open again, this tbringing snews. "Mr. Russell, this afternoon Mr. Dennis

The Russell family and the White family have equal stock interests, and the partnership,between the Russell
White Group has always been closely knit. To withdraw now would cause EverPeak to distrust them. "Keep an eye
on it," Yonas said. The Russell Group's stocks are extremely stable now, and they simply can't afford to let
anyone stab them in the back. He thought this, and Irene certainly thought the same.
Over here, Yasmine was preparing her report when Morgan cstraight to her room after finishing work, his
face serious. "Yasmine, | found out about what you askedto check last time." Yasmine held her breath.
"Who?"
"Irene.
Yasmine's pupils contracted sharply. It really was her. "Let's go! To Urena's place!" she said sharply.
Morgan quickly took her downstairs. In their rush earlier, the car wasn't parked in the garage, so they just got in
and drove
away.

Once again, they arrived at the Kindhearth Community. Fearing there might not be a parking space inside.
Morgan parked the car at the entrance. Yasmine, familiar with the place, led him to Teresa's hand knocked
on the door.
The door was opened by Urena, who eyed the two of them warily. "Why is it you again?!" She wanted to slam the
door shut, but Morgan blocked her attempt and forcefully pushed it open.
Yasmine stepped inside. The room was filled with a musty and damp odor that was quite unpleasant.
Uncomfortably, she rubbed her nose and, under Urena's angry glare, said, "Mrs. Urena, have you thought it over
about what happened last time? Are you ready to be honest? About who gave you the idea." Urena shook her
head, more decisively than before. "No."
Yasmine noticed the gold necklace peeking out from her neckline, suggesting she had received a sum of money,
enough to keep her silent without needing much persuasion.
But Yasmine was not empty-handed this time. She said, "I found out who sent the chocolate last time. Was it
her?" She flipped a photo out and placed it in front of her. "Mrs. Urena, answer me.
Urena's body trembled, and she sniffled, "No, it wasn't."
"Liar! It was her, you're lying!" Yasmine stepped closer to Urena, shoving the photo directly in front of her face.
"If it was her, Chapter 257

"Tell me, was it her?"
Urena remained silent for a long tbefore she finally said. "Ither. After Teresa's suicide, she showed up and
