Oscar's temper flared again, but Yolanda stopped him.
"It's alright, Oscar. Don't cause any more trouble for my sake. I'll apologize." Looking like a martyr, Yolanda walked over to Yvonne. "Ms. Jones, I apologize for my friends' actions. Are you satisfied now?"
"Yolanda," Oscar said, pulling her into a protective embrace as if she were the one who had been terribly wronged.
Yvonne could only scoff at the sight.
"Murderers pay with their lives, debtors pay their dues, and wrongdoers apologize. It's common sense. Yet here you are, Ms. Walker, looking so aggrieved, one might think I was the one bullying you."
Yvonne finished speaking and slowly rose to her feet.
She walked up to Yolanda and studied her with a frown. "Ms. Walker, I don't know if you were truly innocent in all this, but birds of a feather flock together. I can't help but question if your character is as poor as your friends'. Are you really worthy of Bennett?!"
Yvonne's final words clearly struck a nerve.
Yolanda's eyes turned red, and she buried her face in Oscar's chest, crying. Her shoulders shook as her tears soaked his shirt.
Oscar's fury reached its peak. He looked at Yvonne, his eyes dark and menacing. "It seems you have too much free time on your hands lately. I think it's time you had something to do."
"Are you planning on giving me more work, Mr. Rogers? Excellent. I look forward to it," Yvonne retorted with a cold smile.
She didn't know what Oscar was planning, but the more he tried to interfere, the more opportunities she'd have to expose him.
...
Yvonne stayed in Damry for nearly a month.
On the day she flew back to Istra, she was surprised to find Jeffrey waiting to pick her up at the airport.
