Yvonne's previously sour expression softened slightly at the words of the women around her. She put on a pitiful
demeanor and gently tried to correct her classmates.
"Please, don't say that. You can't force feelings, and maybe my sister just fell in love with Gavin at first sight...
Otherwise, why would she suddenly declare she wanted to be with him on the day of our engagement despite
having just met?" "Yvonne, you're just too kind. That's why she takes advantage of you!"
"Don't worry. I'll tell my parents when | get home, and they'll report Yolanda too!" "We'll make sure you get the
justice you deserve!"
"Thank you, everyone, but let's just forget it... After all, she's my sister..." Yvonne lowered her head in feigned
sadness, seemingly unable to bear the sight of Gavin and Yolanda driving away together.
This reaction only garnered more sympathy from the women around her. Several classmates, especially those

Yvonne, who had been acting despondent with her head down, couldn't help the victorious smile that curled on
her lips.
Wednesday afternoon was club activity day at First Academy.
Yolanda, having not joined any clubs, packed up after class to leave. As she stepped out of the classroom, she
saw Bryce coming down the stairs.
"Yolanda, are you free this afternoon? | was hoping you'd joinfor the academy's volunteer event!" Bryce felt
a bit relieved when he saw Yolanda exiting the classroom. Before this, he was worried that he'd cdown too
late to catch her.
"I have something to do this afternoon," Yolanda replied. She hadn't been to Willow Creek Clinic for two days and
was planning to check on the progress of the renovations there.
"What could be more meaningful than volunteering?" Bryce asked, his eyebrows pulled together.
"Yolanda, if you keep skipping the academy's activities, people will start thinking you're antisocial," Bryce
remarked worriedly.
Having heard the rumors of several parents complaining about Yolanda, he was genuinely worried that the
academy might expel her. Bryce hoped that Yolanda could repair her reputation with the school by participating
in more volunteer events.
"While | appreciate your concern, | really do have something important to attend to today," Yolanda replied
calmly without getting angry. She understood that his intentions were good, even if his phrasing wasn't the
kindest.
"Then tell me, what could possibly be more important than volunteering?" Bryce furrowed his brows slightly, his
frustration apparent. "You're not going on a date, are you?"
"Think whatever you want," Yolanda said. She had never been fond of people meddling too much in her private

Regardless of how close friends might be, everyone still deserved their own space.
"Yolanda, stop right there! I'm not done talking!" Bryce called out as he saw her preparing to leave, assuming
he'd hit the mark with his question. "So | was right, and now you're feeling guilty, huh?
"I'm not against you dating, but you do know which between schoolwork and romance is more important, right?
You're still young; you shouldn't throw your future away! Love can go away, and when it does, you might regret
not seizing the opportunities you had.
"If you don't build a strong foundation now, how do you expect the Savage family to accept you in the future?"
Yolanda paused slightly in her steps, then turned to look at the somewhat angry Bryce. She was frowning when
she reminded him, "You have your opinions and | stay out of your business. So, don't interfere with mine. We're
merely classmates. You have no right to lecture me."
"Just classmates?" A flash of hurt crossed Bryce's eyes. "You said before that we were friends!"
