NovelEnglishChapter 56
"What did you just say?" Diana and Yvonne exclaimed in unison.
How could that be possible?
Both of them knew exactly what Yolanda was capable of, and there was no way she could have secured the
contract with Doxcon Group.
Yvonne, in particular, sprang from her seat and hurried over to Harold, straining to read the details of the
contract. Even Harold, who had confirmed the contract was legitimate, found it hard to believe.
"There's no doubt about it. This contract is legitimate," he said solemnly. Then, he looked at Yolanda and
demanded, "Be honest. How'd you manage to secure this contract?"
Yolanda looked at him impassively and explained, "I took the proposal you left in the living room and went to see
the general manager of Doxcon Group. He found our company's idea innovative, so he changed his mind."
Anyone with any work experience at all would find her story dubious. However, that was beside the point. All she

Even if Harold were to ask Blake...
Blake would never admit to being blackmailed by her over the kickbacks, so he'd have no choice but to go along
with her story.
Harold fell silent after hearing that. He had a feeling there was more to the story, yet Yolanda clearly had no
intention of elaborating, so there was no point in pressing her further. Perhaps because everything felt unreal,
Harold couldn't feel a shred of joy despite securing the project.
"Dad, are you sure you've checked it thoroughly? Maybe it's so well-forged that you missed it!" Yvonne pressed,
still unwilling to let it go.
"Do you really think | can't distinguish between a legitimate contract and a forged one?" Harold snapped.
He had been irritated to begin with, and Yvonne's relentless doubts about the contract were draining what little
patience he had left.
"If you don't believe me, you can just call Blake and ask for confirmation," Yolanda said nonchalantly, looking at
Harold.
After hearing that, Harold's eyes lit
up. He immediately turned around and went back to the living room to get his phone. After a while, he returned
to the dining room with a genuine smile on his face.
"It seems I've misjudged you, Yolanda. Mr. Rowse said you explained the project methods in great detail and with
impressive clarity. But you've never been
linet
exposed to the company's busine
before. How'd you becso knowledgeable about it?"
Blake's unexpectedly positive attitude during the call took Harold by surprise. Consequently, his impression of
Yolanda had improved a lot. "There's a library in the juvenile detention center where | could borrow books. |
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmspent most of my tthere studying," Yolanda responded quietly.
After hearing her explanation, Harold didn't press the matter further. After all, he couldn't care less about how
Yolanda had acquired her business knowledge. All that mattered to him was that she had secured the project for
him.
"That's impressive! It looks like you really have ca long way. | hope you won't let yourself become
complacent again. Once school starts, be sure to focus on your studies and work hard."
Out of the corner of her eye, Yolanda noticed Yvonne's increasingly dark expression and couldn't help but curl
her lips slightly. "Of course I will."
Yvonne's face contorted in anger as her words sank in. However, she soon lowered her head and attempted to
hide her frustration by drinking her soup.
Yolanda watched her every subtle movement with keen interest.
Was that all it took to unsettle her?
However, Yolanda was just getting started.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of school. Early in the morning, Yolanda and Yvonne set out together.
