Chapter 33
After Sharon and her group left, the physics students went anxious. They couldn’t understand why Yvette would accept Sharon’s unreasonable challenge, it seemed like a self-inflicted humiliation.
Ever since Winona spread the news yesterday, students at Argrol University had already learned that Yvette was the daughter brought back from the countryside by the Chambers family. Although she managed to force Victor to apologize, it didn’t mean she could speak Frixyia.
With the level of education in the countryside, it was impossible for her to have learned the language. This was a gamble she was bound to lose.
Bonnie followed behind Yvette, lost in her thoughts. After making up her mind, Bonnie firmly said to Yvette, “Ms. Gorgeous, how about I take your place! I know a little Frixyia, and even if I can’t win, I can at least argue with her.”
Yvette smiled slightly, a mischievous glint in her eyes “No need I know a little Frixyia, too”
Upon hearing Yvette’s words. Bonnie nodded. “Oh, you know a little Frixyia. Wait a minute, Ms. Gorgeous. What did you just say? You can speak Frixyia?”
With one hand in her pocket, Yvette gently flicked Bonnie’s forehead. “Yes.”
When Bonnie heard Yvette say that, her worries inexplicably disappeared. She just blindly trusted Yvette; if Yvette said she knew Frixyia, Bonnie believed her.
Oh, then Ms. Gorgeous, do you need to review? Do you need any books? I can go find some for you, Bonnie asked.
Yvette shook her head, her voice slightly hoarse. No, and please don’t call me Ms. Gorgeous
Bonnie obediently nodded and thought seriously for a moment. How about I call you Yve?”
Realizing that if she didn’t agree, Bonnie would continue calling her Ms. Gorgeous, Yvette nodded in acceptance. Bonnie smiled, feeling happy that Yvette accepted the nickname..
In less than half a day, the news that Yvette from the Physics department and Sharon from the Frixyia department would compete in a Frixyia speech contest in the auditorium three days later spread throughout Argrol University.
As Winona and Victor passed by the campus bulletin board, they noticed a poster for the upcoming speech contest: [Sharon from the Frixyia department had challenged Yvette, a freshman from the Physics department. Who would win? The results would be known in three days.]
Winona was somewhat gloating. “Victor, I really don’t understand what Yvette is thinking. Why does she insist on competing with Sharon in Frixyia? Sharon is one of the top students in the Frixyia department. She even won a second place in last year’s citywide Frixyia competition. Yvette is going to be humiliated. I’m really worried about her.”
Victor despised Yvette and was eager to see her embarrassed. He snorted disdainfully. “She just came back from the countryside and hasn’t seen much of the world. She dares to accept any challenge, really courting disaster.
Winona smiled gently. “Let’s go watch the competition between Yvette and Sharon. That way, if Yvette loses, I can comfort her.
Victor looked at the angelic Winona and marveled at her kindness. In a doting tone, he said, “If you want to go, I’ll go with
you
After they left, Jeremiah and Andrew also passed by the bulletin board.
Jeremiah, dressed in black casual wear, walked with long strides, his eyes full of seriousness and his expression aloof, making him seem unapproachable. Andrew, on the other hand, was all smiles, eager to greet every pretty girl that passed by Jeremiah, tell me, how do you know that girl from today? She looks so familiar. Andrew asked.
Jeremiah ignored him. Unwilling to give up, Andrew pressed on Jeremiah glanced at him and narrowed his beautiful eyes. “Is my gossip worth 1 million dollars?
Andrew immediately fell silent. He had forgotten that Jeremiah was also in the group chat because Jeremiah never participated in it.
1 really shouldn’t do things against my conscience, Andrew thought. But he still said smilingly, Jeremiah, I just wanted to share the news with everyone. Everyone is very concerned about you.”
“Take that I million dollars and donate it, Jeremiah said.
Andrew was reluctant. Indeed, ill-gotten gains are not meant to be kept. The money had just arrived and was gone already. “Alright, I’ll do as you say. Jeremiah,” Andrew said.
The Chambers family was having dinner. While eating, Zachary asked about how Yvette was doing. This annoyed Winona, so she casually mentioned the upcoming competition between Sharon and Yvette
“Yvette is taking part in a Frixyia competition?” Zachary asked.
Winona nodded innocently. “Yes, Yvette accepted the challenge, and now the whole campus knows about it. In three days, there should be a lot of people watching the competition!”
Zachary was upset. He couldn’t understand why Yvette would choose to compete in Frixyia with a top student from the Frixia department, thinking it would be an embarrassing spectacle.
Ignoring Zachary’s pale expression, Winona continued, “Dad, why don’t you and Mom come too and cheer for Yvette?”
Zachary threw down his fork. “No way. It’s bad.enough she’s embarrassing herself; we can’t join her in that. No one is going. understand?”
Of course, Winona wasn’t about to miss the chance to see Yvette humiliated. Pretending to be conflicted, she said, “Dad, Victor is going too. We planned this together. Yvette already made the Carter family upset a few days ago, and if I back our

Zachary’s tone softened. “Alright, you can go. Just don’t upset Victor over this
Winona nodded happily. Zachary thought for a moment and added, “If Yvette needs any help, do your best to assist her.” Winona gripped her fork tightly upon hearing this. “Don’t worry, Dad. I will.”
Nellie had been in a good mood lately. Zachary was spending more time at home, and the private investigator she hired reported that Zachary had significantly reduced his visits to his female secretary. Nellie had been focusing all her attention on Zachary and had no time to target Yvette,NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Besides, with Yvette living on campus, she had no opportunity to deal with her. For now, she was solely focused on winning back Zachary’s heart and wasn’t too concerned about Yvette.
“Honey, let’s eat. Yvette is old enough to know what she’s doing. Winona is sensible and will help her when needed,” Nellie said
Zachary lost his appetite from the news and went upstairs, saying he wasn’t eating anymore. Seeing this, Nellie also put down her fork and followed him upstairs, leaving Winona alone at the table.
After sending the servants away, Winona took out her phone and called Sharon. The phone rang twice before Sharon answered.
“Hello, Sharon, are you busy right now? Winona asked.
Recognizing Winona’s call, Sharon quickly returned to her room, leaving her half-eaten dinner behind. “Not busy, Winona, what’s up?”
Winona spoke in a sweet, delicate voice, “Sharon, do you really live to compete with Yvette? Maybe you should just let it go. Even if Yvette bullied me, I don’t want her to be embarrassed in front of everyone. Really, I can forgive her.”
Of course, Sharon disagreed with Winona.
“Winona, why should you forgive her? You’re too soft. She’s just a country girl. How dare she bully you? The competition can’t be canceled, absolutely not. But you gave me an idea. This time, I’ll make sure she apologizes to you in front of everyone. By the way, I’ll get someone to spread the word about this on the campus forum. I’ve got to go. Winona, just wait for Yvette to apologize to you in front of everyone in three days Sharon hung up.
“Hello, Sharon? Hello?” Winona hung up the phone, then stood by the living room’s floor-to-ceiling window, a wicked smile spreading across her face.
