Chapter 150

In truth, Bailee felt a twinge of jealousy. She had wanted to attend First Academy but was unable to. Yvonne was one thing, but why did Yolanda, of all people, get in? Was it just because she was born into a wealthy family, so she could take all the advantages of that for granted? As Bailee thought about this, a flicker of envy appeared in her eyes, and her tone grew sharper and more cutting. "Not only are your grades poor, but you're also so ugly. Even sweeping the streets would be a blemish on the city. If I were you, I'd just stay home to avoid embarrassing my family!" Yolanda's gaze grew colder at Bailee's words. In that moment, Yolanda could clearly feel the original Yolanda's frustration and sense of injustice. She must have heard such biting remarks often, which led to her growing self-doubt and eventual self-destructive behavior. However, Yolanda wasn't interested in arguing with Eleanor and Bailee. She didn't see the need to waste time confronting them when a simple call could solve everything. Ignoring Eleanor's and Bailee's hostility, she walked straight to the front desk of Starry Gemworks. "I'm here to see Brigham." "You're looking for Mr. Holt?" The receptionist looked surprised. "Ha! Who do you think you are to see Mr. Holt?" Eleanor snorted disdainfully at Yolanda's request. "Exactly! Even I can't see Mr. Holt!" Bailee added with a mocking tone. "You're really clueless and stupid!" "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Holt? He doesn't meet with anyone without an appointment." The receptionist's attitude turned slightly condescending as Yolanda didn't seem like someone who knew Brigham. Yolanda said nothing. She simply dialed Brigham's number. "I'm here." "Okay. I'm coming down right now." On the other end of the line, Brigham immediately put down his documents and headed downstairs to meet Yolanda. However, Eleanor and the others couldn't hear their conversation and thought Yolanda was just putting on an act. So, Bailee sneered when she saw this. "Stop pretending. Do you think a phone call is enough to get you past the front desk? Dream on!" The receptionist chimed in, "You're disturbing our work. If you don't leave now, I'll have security escort you out." Yolanda glanced at the receptionist and replied, "If you won't let me up, I'll just have Brigham come down." "Have Mr. Holt come downstairs?" Eleanor was growing impatient and scoffed. "I know you're trying to put on a show in front of me and Bailee, but Mr. Holt is not someone you can just meet. "If he comes down to see you, I'll crawl out of this place!" Even Diana hadn't had the chance to meet Brigham. So, how could Yolanda, of all people, get such special treatment? Bailee, estimating that Zaid would be coming down soon, yelled at Yolanda, "Stop embarrassing yourself here and leave! If you cause me to leave a bad impression on Mr. Ware, are you going to take responsibility for that?" Eleanor and Bailee still thought Yolanda was trying to benefit from them. Yolanda only claimed to be looking for Brigham after being exposed. "Why aren't you moving? Don't you understand? Get out now!" Eleanor was furious. Just as she was about to push Yolanda, the elevator nearby dinged. The elevator doors opened, and a group of people stepped out. The young leader in front of the group hurriedly exited the elevator and headed straight toward Yolanda.
