The words caught Dakota's attention. "What do you mean it's not the first time, Yvette? Isn't Mitchell always good to you? Has he been bullying you?"

"It's not exactly bullying... Dakota, let's go to class!" said Yvette. She turned her face away, unwilling to elaborate. But Dakota saw the restrained hesitation in her expression. "Yvette, if you don't tell me the truth, I'll ask Mitchell Dakota, who was usually gentle and polite in front of Yvette, now showed an unusual stubbornness and sternness. "Don't, Dakota, please don't..." Yvette bit her lower lip, and under Dakota's insistence, she had no choice but to voice her grievances. "Mitchell has always been very caring towards me. He's been the best among all my brothers. No matter what happened, he always protected me, but after my sister returned, he changed a bit.

"They are related by blood. Though all my family comforted me saying that their love for me wouldn't diminish because of Shakira's arrival, and Mitchell said the same, I can feel that Mitchell cares more about her. Like this plagiarism scandal in the competition, as soon as the video of me apologizing to my sister went viral yesterday, Mitchell found me. He blamed me for crying in front of Shakira."

"Next week is my grandma's birthday celebration. Why don't we invite her as a guest? Maybe with my grandma's help, she might forgive you."

Two years ago, Dakota and Shakira often got into trouble, and it was always Martha, Dakota's grandma who faced up to it. Shakira held Martha in high regard.

Yvette had met Martha a few times, and each time she was distant, even asking Dakota in front of her why Shakira hadn't come to visit her. Thinking of this, a venomous jealousy was in Yvette's eyes as she nestled in his arms. "Yvette, what t do you think?" Dakota asked.

"This is a wonderful idea," said Yvette as she smiled cheerfully. Thank you, Dakota, for helping me."

Dakota smiled back, "No need to thank me. It's what I should do.

Yvette and Dakota arrived late, and their joint appearance in the classroom caused quite a stir among their classmates.
