withered with concem we’ve taught thous people a stem lesson for you. We promise never to let you suffer sach

injustice again!”

In the end, the store issued a forinal apology to Yvette. They even fired the manager and stall member, kicking

those people out of Tubife City

Yvette didn’t take that all matter to heart and only nodded with a band expression.

Yata continued warmly, “Yvic, this is the dress | specially chose for you to wear at the banquet. I'm sure it'll look

amazing on you, our beautiful

The ficklent at the mall caused them to lose all interest in dress shopping. So, Yara contacted a dress shop and

picked out the banquet dresses

“Yasmin, this is the dress chose for you!” Yara didn’t forget about Yasmin. With tender affection, she motioned

the latter to cover. “You and Wie should play the plane on stage during the banquet. When that happens, all

the ladies of high society will envyfor having such outstanding daughters!”

t dress design but

Yasmin’s expression dulled once she saw a picture of the dress Yara chase. It turned out that Yara had given

Yvette the latest dre pave Vasmin a design from last year.

Yasmin felt Yara was utterly biased for doing so

“What's wrong, Yasmin? Do you not like this dress? | could've sworn you've always liked this brand, though...”

Yara replied.

Yora always had poor health, so she disliked socializing outdoors. She usually preferred gardening and seldom

paid attention to things like Lashion. Naturally, she didn’t know clothing was categorized by the latest designs

and those from previous seasons,

She only knew Yasmin Bled this brand's pieces, so she specially picked out this dress for her.

Despite feeling upset, Yasmin flashed a honeyed smile as she hugged Yara’s arms. She put on a deliberate

affectionate act in front of Yvette. Thank you, Ait Yara! | love it! We're so in sync. | was previously eyeing this

dress, too!”

She wanted to drill one thing into Yvette’s mind-that she was closer to Yars and train, even if Yvette was the

couple’s biological daughter.

Alas, Yvette couldn't be bothered to spare a glance at Yasmin’s act. Yvette’s lack of interest felt like a cold slap

to Yasmin’s face, making her

even more upset.

“I'm happy to hear that!” Yara was pleased with Yasmin’s response. She then tomed to speak to Yvette in a

gentle tone. “Oh, right, Yve Your

ith older basher, Sean, is coming hthe day alter tomorrow when his Esports toumament enda!”

Yvette’s delicate brows arched when she heard “Esports competition” Then, she nodded. “Alright, | understand.”

Still, Vara went on with the sgentleness “We, Sean can be foolhardy. If he upsets you in any way when he

returns, feel free to tell your dad andabout it. I'll lecture Sean into behaving for you!”

“That's right!” Irwin joined in, nodding fervently. “vie, I'll make that heat kneel in front of our family’s memorial

hall for forgiveness if he dares to pick on you!”

He refused to let anyone ebully his precious daughter, not even his five sons

Yasmin couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard that. Even the corner of her lips slightly curved into an

Knowing Sean was about to retum, she was determined to brainston a way to make Sean hate Yvette.

Yvette sat on the couch and played mobile games. She maneuvered her in-gcharacter with her slender

fingertips. Her very presence was pleasing to the eye.

Vet, Yasmin immediately glanced at the former with contempt and mentally scoffed. She found Yvette to be an

incompetent loser. After all, wasn't long before the banquet, but Yvette was still in the mood to play mobile

games.

Yasmin refused to waste her tlike Yvette. Instead, she needed to practice her plano skills. Yasmin wanted to

steal the limelight at the banquet and crush Yvette, the bumpkin her family had picked up from the countryside!

Meanwhile, Yvette received a ginvite once she was online. She accepted it without much thought. After

that, she switched on her inkreptione in the team chat and heard a pleasant, excited male voice.

“Rebir, you're online again! | have samazing news to tell you | won the Esports National Championship this

year! What do you think? Did | make you proud?” Sean Murray exclaimed.

“That's pretty gecil, Yvette casually answered. She agreed that winning the national championship was indeed a

decent achievement. Sean's excitement becmore noticeable upon receiving Yvetta’s praise. He added,

“Rebir, | heard you're in Jubilife City. I'm going

home

there the day after tomorrow once the competition and

tomorrow once the competition and award ceremony ends. How about we meet after | go hto see my

younger sister? “You're kind of my mentor and contributed to my win at the national championships. | genuinely

wish to meet and thank you in person!”

Rebar was a legend in the Esports community. She had incredible gaming skills and won many global

competitions. However, she disappeared from the community shortly alter those wins.

Sean once overestimated his talents and challenged Rebir to a match when he was young and reckless. Their

player vs player duel ended with her beating him to a pulp

Since then, he becconvinced about Rebir’s abilities. He had the utmost respect for Rebir while also fearing

her.

“Younger sister?” Yvette asked, astutely picking up on those keywords. She raised a brow and felt a sense of

foreboding. She wondered if Sean could be the fifth older brother she had learned about earlier.

“Yeah!” Sean voiced without any careful thought. “We found my long-lost sister, so my parents keep urging me

to go home. I'm not that eager to meet her, to be honest. I'm only doing it because my parents insist that | do!”

Although Sean claimed to feel that way, he had already booked the earliest flight back to Jubilife City for the day

after tomorrow

The dots were connecting in Yvette’s mind. Helplessness flickered in her coptivating, upturned eyes.

Sean didn’t notice Yvette’s odd behavior. Instead, he kept rambling on. “Oh, forget it. There's no use in asking

you, Rebir. Piligure it out

myself.”

He touched the nearly lined-up gifts on his desk and fell into a conflicted state. He wondered if he should just

give all ten of them to his sister

“Do as he says without any objections?” Yvette wonderod.

She listened in silence as Seen bragged. Once he finished, she stated emotionlessly, “You'll practice for three

Amidst his suffering, he wondered what he had said wrong. Why did Rebir punish him with extra gaming practice

so suddenly?

Wette tib longer said anything to him. She then went offline and exited the game.

That was when she got a Whatnotification.
