Yvonne continued to whine, "I know I was wrong! But I really care about you both! I hope we can always be as close as we used to be!
"I know Yolanda has always hated me, but I really tried to please her. Yet she still mocked me and claimed that everything in the Henderson family would belong to her in the future, which is why I made a foolish mistake and lied to you!"
"Yolanda really has no shame! Your father and I are both well; how can she say such things?" Diana frowned in displeasure.
Harold observed Yvonne's expression but didn't respond. However, doubt began to form in his mind. Was what Yvonne said true?
Unlike Diana, Harold had encountered many people in the business world, including many who seemed sincere but were actually full of lies.
He had always believed Yvonne was obedient and sensible because she was his daughter.
But after yesterday's events, he realized that this seemingly understanding daughter could also lie and act cruelly for her own benefit.
The thought that Yolanda had taken him to the hospital, only to have Yvonne frame her, felt like a heavy stone weighing on his heart.
Yet, as a father and the head of the family, his pride wouldn't allow him to apologize to Yolanda.
This matter would have to remain unresolved.
Afterward, Diana comforted Yvonne a bit as if she were the one who was wronged.
Once back in his study, Harold reviewed the electronic version of the contract he had signed with Dunhill Group earlier and decided to discuss it seriously with Yolanda soon.
…
"She brought this upon herself." In her room, Yolanda was having a voice chat with Gavin.
She recounted what had just happened, including the text she sent to Joel. Joel sent Yehuda to expose Yvonne's true colors, and once that task was completed, he could leave.
Yolanda also promised Joel to visit the hospital the next day for another check-up on Jude.
"I can imagine that after I went upstairs, she would probably act pitiful and twist the truth in front of those two." She could easily picture Yvonne playing the victim, claiming she was frequently bullied.
