"Of course! Why else would Dean Ludden personally deal with the situation, if not to back the filthy bitch up?"
Yana was very confident that Hera had seduced Andrew.
Hera had stirred up a ruckus at the Gaskells' family banquet in the past, resulting in them becoming a laughingstock in the upper echelons. Also, their reputation had been endangered since that incident.
Queenie was furious at Hera because of that incident. Of course, it was only natural for her to hate Hera to the core.
Now, all Yana had to do was invoke Queenie's wrath directed at Hera. That way, she'd become Yana's ally in dealing with Hera. Things would definitely be a lot easier after that.
"And here I was, thinking about how to destroy that brat once and for all! To think that her scandalous weakness is presented to me on a silver platter!" Queenie snarled out, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"This time, she has nowhere to escape," Zyler muttered under his breath while clenching his fists tightly.
He had been worrying about how to expose Hera's true colors so that he could patch his friendship with Christopher in order to secure a spot on the guaranteed admission list. Now, that chance had arrived.
"Zyler, since you and Christopher are such close friends, can you help put in a good word for me in front of him so that I can return to Cavenridge as a student? I promise, once I'm re-enrolled into the academy, I'll definitely study hard instead of picking fights with others!" Eugene requested eagerly.
"Precisely. Zyler, you and Mr. Ludden are good friends, aren't you? Can you speak up for Eugene? My sweet Eugene can't leave Cavenridge, you see," Yana pleaded as well.
This was the purpose behind their visit.
After Eugene got expelled from Cavenridge International Academy, the other elite academies refused to take him in as their student. On the other hand, Eugene's grades were so poor that he could barely qualify for public schools. Then again, he felt that studying in a public school was humiliating, so he didn't want to enroll in any of them.
"Um…" Zyler looked a little troubled.
The thing was, he never told anyone that Christopher no longer wanted to remain as his friend. That was because he was confident that Christopher would soon make up with him. To him, there was no need to tell anyone about the incident, lest others laughed at him instead.
"This isn't a problem at all. Zyler can bring it up to Christopher the next time they meet. Just wait patiently for his good news."
While Zyler was racking his brain on how to refuse Yana and Eugene politely, Queenie agreed to help them out on his behalf.
Naturally, Zyler didn't know what to say.
Yana was elated, to say the least. "Thank you, Queenie and Zyler!"
