Nonetheless, everyone reacted differently to Vivian's words.
Joe's family looked pleased, while Diana looked extremely upset.
If Vivian simply wanted Yolanda to leave the family, Diana wouldn't say anything. However, Vivian was clearly being partial to her grandson.
Regardless of how displeased Diana was, she dared not express it to Vivian. All she could do was take her frustrations out on Yolanda.
"You good-for-nothing. You're normally so useless, yet now you're acting tough. I wonder what you're going to do once your exam results are out."
Diana's face twisted in rage.
She thought that if Yolanda hadn't bluffed shamelessly about how she could place first in her year, she would only lose her spot. She wouldn't have paved the way for Paul.
At that moment, Diana had forgotten that she had nothing to do with Yolanda getting a spot in First Academy. She was filled with unbridled rage toward Yolanda for thinking too highly of herself.
Alice smiled. "Diana, don't be so angry. If you cut ties with Yolanda, you'll get an empty room in your home. You could use it as a closet. That's not too bad."
Scott sneered, "A bet where you can see the outcome is not much fun."
"Indeed!"
