RedNovelChapter 370
Rachel's eyes were red. A mix of embarrassment and fear surged within her, making her almost burst into tears.
"Stop making a fool of yourself here! Go back and reflect on your actions. You'll hear from the academy soon!"
Marcus scolded.
"I understand... I'm really sorry..." Rachel, disheartened and despondent, walked away from the crowd. She
disappeared amidst murmurs of disapproval and whispers from others.
"Isn't Yolanda supposed to be a worthless student who got into the academy through connections? How could
she possibly have such exceptional art skills?"
"Could Mr. Carter be mistaken? | refuse to believe that someone like Yolanda can produce such an outstanding
work!"
No matter if it was outsiders or students from the academy, none could accept that the drawing-which had
received high praise from Simon-was created by the s"worthless" Yolanda they had been mocking just
moments before.
"Maybe it's just someone with the sname? Are there any other students named Yolanda in our academy?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe students who had been the most vocal in mocking Yolanda racked their brains, trying to recall any other
student with the ssurnin the academy. However, they couldn't think of another Yolanda.
"Could it really have been her who drew it?"
They were still unwilling to accept the truth. If Yolanda was just someone with a strong background but no talent,
they could convince themselves it was simply unfair luck.
But now that Simon had recognized Yolanda's talent, she still had a bright future ahead of her, even if she
flunked everything else academically.
This was a hard pill to swallow for those students who had always belittled Yolanda to elevate their own sense of
superiority.
"Mr. Carter, there must be smistake! This worthless girl couldn't possibly have produced such an excellent
piece!" The girl who had stood up for Rachel earlier spoke up, unwilling to accept reality.
"Why don't you take another look?" she urged.
Upon hearing this, the other students looked expectantly at Simon, hoping to witness stwist confirming their
beliefs.
"Are you questioning my judgment?" Simon's expression soured.
He turned to Marcus and criticized, "What is this attitude displayed by the students of the top academy in
Riverdale City? They slander and deftheir peers. Even after realizing their mistake, they refuse to apologize.
Instead, they continue to cast doubt and raise baseless accusations.
"Mr. Zwink, this art exhibition has been very disappointing!"
"Please don't be upset, Mr. Carter. These students are usually the worst performers in the academy. Please don't
take them seriously," Marcus replied, sweating profusely.
He glared furiously at the unruly students and scolded, "What were you all thinking? Who gave you the nerve to
question Simon? Go hand write a 10,000-word self-reflection essay. On Monday, you'll read it in front of the
entire school!"
The students were so frightened by Marcus' reaction that they didn't dare make a sound. Yet, their eyes were still
filled with reluctance and disbelief.
They couldn't accept that Yolanda had such exceptional artistic talent. Even if it was her non this piece of
drawing, she could have hired someone else to draw it for her.
"Why are you still standing here? Go hand start writing!" Marcus bellowed at them.
The more he looked at the students, the angrier he became. He was also afraid that someone might say
something inappropriate and further anger Simon.
So, he quickly turned to Simon and said, "It's almost lunchtime. I've reserved a table at a private restaurant near
the academy. Why don't we head there now?"
"There's no need." Simon glanced coldly at Marcus. "I have to return to Creybia this afternoon and don't have
tto eat with you. If you have so much free time, | suggest you think more about how to educate the students
at this academy."
After saying that, Simon's expression turned into one of respect and warmth as he smiled at Yolanda. "Ms.
Henderson, do you have tfor lunch? I'd like to treat you to a meal."
"If I can bring a guest along, then I'll be glad to comply," Yolanda responded, smiling at Gavin.
"And who is this gentleman?" Simon asked curiously, clueless as to who Gavin
was.
"My fiancé," Yolanda replied with a smile.
