Chapter 267
Lily’s text read: “When did Yolanda transfer to Ember Creek High School?”
Joseph’s reply was almost instantaneous: “She applied about a week ago.”
Lily: “Got it.”
She stored her phone away and narrowed her eyes in thought. She was in Bridgeport a week ago, around the same time Yolanda decided to come to Lagersfield City.
“How interesting,” Lily thought as a low chuckle escaped her.
John looked around the classroom. Pointing at Heather’s old seat, he said to Yolanda, “You can sit there.”
Yolanda flashed him a sweet smile “Alright. Thanks, Mr. Everton.”
After briefly explaining the class rules to Yolanda, John left.
Yolanda met Lily’s gaze and gave her a triumphant smile.
The students in class lost interest in their books after Yolanda took her seat, occasionally sneaking glances at her. She was beautiful, with delicate features and skin like porcelain. She looked elegant and understated in her expensive clothing.
Although her looks paled slightly in comparison to Lily’s, she was easily the second–most beautiful girl in school.
She was even more attractive than Zoey.
Previously, Shannon was the belle of Ember Creek High School. But she had lost out to Zoey, Yolanda, and Lily.
When class ended, Yolanda put her textbooks into the desk drawer and took a few things out of her backpack.
She then rose to her feet and called out to the students who were filing out of the classroom, “Guys, wait! I have a present for all of you.”
With that, Yoland distributed the presents she had brought for the class.
Someone cried at once, “Whoa! Entry tickets to City of Glory’s tournament?”
“No way! And these are all issued by the Titanium Force Squadron! This is amazing!”
“I’m mind–blown. You know, I heard the Titanium Force Squadron recently added a new female member. She’s never shown her face before, but her skills are out of this world. She landed a double kill in the first round. She’s as good as Tyrant back in the day!”
Do you think Yolanda could be the new member of the Titanium Force Squadron?”
lly couldn’t focus on her books with all the excited chatter in the classroom. She frowned in irritation
Lily
Yolanda handed one of the entry tickets to Anya, but she rejected it. “No thanks. I’m not much of a gamer. I appreciate the gesture, though ” Yolana bristled. She eyed Anya for a few seconds before she smiled and said, “It’s fine. I should’ve prepared better. I’ll give you another present
tomorrow.”
“You don’t have to-
Before Anya could finish her sentence, Yolanda walked over to lari.
She thought Ian would accept the entry ticket, but he surprised her by turning it down as well. “Thanks, but I’m not a gamer.”
That was a bald–faced lie. He was an avid gamer, and he usually played several rounds with his friends during his free time.
He simply did not want Yolanda’s p
present.
Since swearing his loyalty to Lily, he had become more observant. He had noticed Yolanda’s gaze constantly shifting to Lily the moment she showed up in class.
When he glanced at Lily and saw her pensive expression, he knew at once that the two girls were acquainted. However, he doubted the acquaintance was a friendly one.
lan concluded that Yolanda’s timely transfer to Ember Creek High School had something to do with Lily.
As Lily’s most loyal fan, lan would not betray her by accepting a present from her enemy.
Yolanda was stunned by lan’s rejection, but she said nothing about it.
Anya looked away and whispered to Lily, “City of Glory is the hottest game right now. Almost everyone in school is playing it. “Besides, the Titanium Force Squadron has won several championships. I think Yolanda could be one of the squadron’s members.”
