When Yolanda heard that, her gaze on Diana became even colder. "If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself."
"That's enough. Let's end this topic. No one shall bring it up again," said Vivian. It was only then that this matter was over.
The Ice Lily valued at tens of millions of dollars was gone just like that. Of course, Vivian was hurt. However, the situation reached this extent because they didn't believe Yolanda.
Vivian felt suffocated, but she was old and still believed in the older traditions. She thought that the younger generation shouldn't argue back even if the older generation was in the wrong.
To Vivian, Yolanda's behavior meant disobeying the older generation and being unfilial. Thus, the good impression Vivian had of Yolanda was all gone.
After Vivian spoke up, no one else spoke, and the venue became quiet. Then, Diana cleared her throat awkwardly.
She noticed that Philip and his family were sitting on the right side of Vivian. She quickly pulled Yolanda's arm.
After that, she placed an even more valuable gift than the one she gave Vivian in front of Philip.
Full of smiles, she said, "Philip, it's time for Yolanda to attend high school now that she has returned. But I haven't found a suitable school. Since you're in Riverdale City's First Academy, can you have Yolanda study in your class?"
Upon hearing that, Philip frowned. He immediately pushed the gift back to Diana. "Diana, I can't accept your gift.
"You know what kind of place Riverdale City's First Academy is. Based on Yolanda's level, she isn't qualified to study in the academy."
Then, his wife asked, "Diana, are you joking? It will be great even if an ordinary school accepts Yolanda based on her current situation.
"How could you ask Philip for help? Aren't you making things difficult for him? If Harvey sees that he recommended such a problematic student to get into the school, won't you be embarrassed?"
Diana was at a loss for words. Initially, she had prepared herself to get rejected. Nonetheless, she could sense the disdainful looks from around her.
She couldn't handle it and even wanted to slap herself.
If she didn't bring Yolanda with her, she wouldn't have been humiliated to this extent. But she was already there. If she couldn't get anything, she would have been humiliated for nothing.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Philip, I know you have your difficulties, but if you can help Yolanda get into First Academy, I can donate more money…"
"Diana, please stop talking," interrupted Philip coldly. "I can't help you with this. If she's only a little bad at studying, I can give it a try. But we all know how she is."
When the other relatives heard Philip's words, they nodded and agreed with him.
"That's right! Yolanda doesn't have good grades and has a criminal record. She doesn't qualify to study at First Academy."
"Diana, I heard that there are schools that especially accept problematic students. It's managed like a military. You can have Yolanda get into that kind of school. In this way, she can't humiliate you much."
"If not, you can get her into a vocational school to study cosmetology. After all, it's still a skill. At least, she won't die from starvation in the future."
The relatives spoke one after another. They seemed to be giving suggestions for Yolanda, but in reality, they were mocking Yolanda for being unsuccessful.
Diana was so furious that she couldn't say a word. But she couldn't refute, so she could only vent all her anger on Yolanda.
"Say something. Don't just stand there. If you don't grab the chance yourself, who will give you a chance?"
