Yvenne wasn't exactly a powerhouse. She clicked on Jackson's chat and asked for the guest list from that day's engagement party. Naturally, Jackson didn’t question her motives, and Fiona didn’t bother explaining. She couldn’t lean on Jackson to sort out everything for her. Plus, she wasn't sure if Yvenne's situation was tied to a high-status family in the Capital or if she had already joined one of those elite circles.
Time flew by, and soon the preliminary exams were looming. These exams were a big deal because they'd directly impact the college entrance exams next semester, so everyone was giving it their all. Except for Yvenne, who was consistently trailing at the bottom of Class Three. If it weren't for her reputation as a designer, she might have been shown the door a long time ago.
Sandy had always backed her up, but it was a bit of a letdown when Yvenne only bagged third place in the second design competition. She kept blaming her hand injury for her performance in class, which frustrated Sandy to no end when it came to Fiona. Fiona couldn't wrap her head around why the school was bending over backward to support a student like Yvenne. Without Fiona's help, how could Yvenne have even snagged third place? Her design drafts were undeniably impressive.
Fiona took a quick peek at her exam paper and filled in a few answers. Normally, she’d skip questions out of sheer laziness, but this exam was crucial for the upcoming college entrance exams, so she had to pay a bit more attention.
Once the exam was over, Fiona was caught off guard by a message from Allen. She hadn't been in touch with him for ages, and since the dust had settled publicly, he had been fully immersed in Woods Corporation, where his career was really taking off.
Allen: Ms. Fiona, could you swing by Memorial Hospital?
Fiona simply replied, “Sure,” grabbed her bag, and hopped into a cab heading to the hospital.
