"Why should I apologize to you?
"Given the situation earlier, it was only normal for me to suspect you for stealing the necklace. Do you think anyone believed in you earlier on?" Zora yelled angrily.
She was a wealthy lady, so it would completely destroy her ego if she publicly apologized!
"Since there wasn't evidence just now, I didn't suspect her," Harvey replied.
After hearing that, Zora fell silent, and the expression on her face turned serious.
Her daughter was in First Academy, and Harvey was now speaking up for Yolanda.
If Zora continued behaving like this, Harvey wouldn't have a good impression of her.
Her daughter might be affected, too, if Harvey disliked her.
The only reason Zora and her husband were on good terms was because of her daughter.
If her husband found out that she affected their daughter's future, she would be doomed!
Once she considered the consequences of her actions, Zora gritted her teeth and told Yolanda, "I was wrong. I'm sorry!"
In the meantime, Diana felt very pleased when she saw Zora apologizing.
But before she could say anything, Harvey looked at her coldly. "You're her mother. You accused your own daughter of stealing the necklace even before there was any evidence to prove that. Is she your biological daughter?"
"I…" Diana tried to explain the situation.
Yet, once she saw Harvey's stern expression, she didn't dare to speak again.
Meanwhile, Yolanda observed Diana and Zora coldly. She didn't want to remain in the shop any longer.
"You can continue shopping. I'm going home." Yolanda quickly left the jewelry shop.
When she reached the bus stop, a car suddenly stopped in front of her.
After the car windows were rolled down, Yolanda realized Harvey was inside the car.
"Where are you headed to? Let me take you there," he said.
Yolanda immediately opened the car door. "I'm going to Southly Drive, Pollen Street Apartment 55."
She knew that Harvey had his reasons for meeting her.
As expected, once she boarded the car, Harvey asked, "Are you willing to study at First Academy?"
"I doubt that First Academy will accept students who have been in juvenile detention centers before."
After hearing that, Harvey paused. He didn't know that Yolanda had entered a juvenile detention center previously.
However, First Academy was the best school in Riverdale. Many people tried to use their connections to beg him for a spot there.
Yet, Yolanda was different. Though Harvey had already offered her a spot there, she told him that she had been in a juvenile detention center before, and made no efforts to conceal her past.
At first, Harvey was impressed with her hacking skills, but he admired her personality later on as well.
"To be honest, if I hadn't seen your skills just now, I wouldn't have offered you a spot in First Academy even if Mrs. Henderson begged me to.
"But, after seeing what you did in the jewelry shop, I think I can make an exception for you," Harvey offered.
Though he didn't know why Yolanda was in a juvenile detention center previously, he admired talented people.
So, if Yolanda behaved herself in First Academy, he would disregard her past.
Yet, Yolanda remained emotionless when she heard that.
"The tests in First Academy aren't related to Computer Science, right?"
"That's right. However, we would allow you to study at Creybia University as a Computer Science student. If you study at First Academy, I'll give you a spot in that university." Harvey thanked his lucky stars that he went into the jewelry shop that day.
Once Yolanda's hacking skills were revealed, other institutions in Riverdale would certainly fight to accept her.
