Yulia looked at the girl walking from afar, and for a fleeting moment, she thought it was a young Lilian. They looked so much alike, especially those eyes, as if they were carved from the same mold. However, the girl in front of her was even more beautiful than Lilian.

“Yves, you’re back! The next class is with Top Dog. I thought you might not make it! Bonnie said.

Yvette nodded slightly and lifted her eyes, a laid–back expression in her gaze. She looked at Yulia, who was staring at her in a daze.

Yulia was wearing the latest fashion from LV. Although she was in her fifties, she was well–maintained. Apart from a few visible wrinkles on her face, she looked lively.

When Yulia noticed Yvette looking at her, she suddenly became tongue–tied.

Bonnie, looking puzzled, whispered, ‘Yve, this lady came to find you. Don’t you know her?”

Yvette turned slightly, revealing a portion of her wrist. “Who are you?” she asked in a chilly and lazy tone.

Noticing that people around were starting to glance in their direction, Yulia quickly introduced herself, “Hello, Yvette. I’m Yulia, Victor’s mother, and… and your mother’s close friend.

Last time on the basketball courty–she had spoken ill of Yvette to appease Victor. Yulia didn’t know the full story, only that Yvene had gotten involved, which angered her. She felt Yvette shouldn’t have helped outsiders go against Victor. Later, after calming down, she realized Rebecca was right. Victor’s spoiled nature was her doing, and he deserved some setbacks.

Time had passed, and Yulia no longer harbored those feelings. Seeing Yvette in person now stirred some old memories. Lilian had treated her kindly back then, viewing her as a close friend, though their relationship could never reach a heart–to- heart level due to too many entangled interests. Yulia could never truly be sincere with Lilian.

After hearing Yulia’s words, Yvette’s gaze sharpened slightly, exuding a cold aura that made Yulia feel uneasy. “Let’s go to the cafe outside the campus, Yvette said. Then, she tilted her head and said to Bonnie, “Tell Jeremiah I have something to do and won’t make it to class.”
