Winnie tried her best to comfort Yvonne. She told her not to be upset. Little did she know, Yvonne secretly hoped
that Yolanda would never return to the Henderson family-or see her as a sister again. But for the sake of her
plan, Yvonne kept up the act.
"Really?" Yvonne sniffled as she took the tissue Winnie handed her. "But Yolanda has been ignoringlately.
Even when we run into each other at the academy, she pretends I'm invisible..."
"Don't worry. Once she calms down, I'll try talking to her again," Winnie reassured her.
Though Winnie privately thought Diana and Harold clearly favored Yvonne, she didn't know the full details of
what had happened in the Henderson family. She only had bits and pieces of information and had pieced
together the rest on her
own.

While she could understand why Yolanda was upset, she also felt that family ties couldn't be undone. As far as
Winnie was concerned, Yolanda would always be part of the Henderson family, no matter what.
Winnie was kind-hearted, but her strong sense of traditional values often made her rigid. She firmly believed that
family bonds couldn't be broken, no matter the misunderstandings.
That said, Winnie prided herself on not imposing her beliefs on others. When she noticed Yolanda's determination
to distance herself from the family, she respected her decision and refrained from pushing the matter further.
After all, it wasn't her place to interfere, even if she was Yolanda's cousin.
"Winnie, you're so close to Yolanda. Could you helptalk to her when you get the chance?" Yvonne's tear-
streaked face lit up with a hopeful expression. Her eyes were wide and glistening. It was as if Winnie was her last
ray of hope.
"Um... sure," Winnie replied, not wanting to make Yvonne cry again. "I'll wait until she's less upset and try to
bring it up."
While she said this to console Yvonne, Winnie didn't actually plan to meddle. Between the two sisters, Winnie
would always side with Yolanda. It wasn't just because Yolanda had helped her recently-it was because, growing
up, Winnie had always felt Yolanda was more genuine and forthright with her emotions.
On the other hand, Yvonne had always seemed sweet and kind, but something about her made Winnie feel
distant like a subtle wall existed between them.
"Thank you, Winnie!" Yvonne exclaimed. Her smile was radiant, and she looked like all her worries had been
lifted.
"Oh, one more thing. When Yolanda left home, she was in such a rush that she didn't take many of her
belongings. | put together a bag of her essentials. Could you pass it to her when you get the chance?"
Yvonne reached down and picked up a small, stylish handbag from beside her chair and placed it on the table.
"I even replaced everything with new items-makeup, toiletries, and her favorite skincare products. If she seems
hesitant to accept it, just tell her you bought it for her," Yvonne added with a bright smile.
"Alright," Winnie agreed without much thought. "Next t| see her, I'll give it to her."
"Thank you so much!" Yvonne's face was full of gratitude. "It's getting late. Why don't you head hfirst? I'll
say hi to my friend, then head back myself."
"Okay, I'll get going then."
Winnie stood up. She was relieved to leave. She picked up the handbag and walked out of the bar. For some
reason, spending twith Yvonne always left her feeling mentally drained.
As soon as she stepped outside, she let out a long sigh of relief. She was glad to finally be away from the
suffocating atmosphere.
Back inside, Yvonne watched Winnie leave, then casually strolled over to the bar counter.
"She's gone, Yvonne?" the bartender asked as she approached.
