"What's wrong with experiencing life as a normal person?" Yolanda challenged.
"Besides, I'm just a regular student in Riverdale now. This is my only option if I want to actually return to Creybia."
"Hmm..." Rowan fell silent for a moment, then realized Yolanda had a point. "So you'll be able to come back in a year? That's great!"
"It'll take a year at most. It could be sooner if we track down the people who are trying to kill me."
"I'll do my best!" Rowan became determined again after hearing Yolanda's words. "Just wait for my good news!"
After hanging up, Rowan immediately started using his hacking skills to investigate Shadowthorn's movements. Meanwhile, Yolanda took a shower and went to bed early.
. . .
The next morning, Yolanda woke up early but stayed in her room. Around ten, she came downstairs to the living room to find Harold's family and Skylar had arrived again.
"Uncle Joe, I've asked around. They're still gathering evidence, so lawyers aren't allowed to see Aunt Diana yet. But the situation isn't too bad," Skylar told Joe confidently. "I've already had people smooth things over. They won't give Aunt Diana any trouble!"
"Thank you for your help." Joe seemed relieved to hear his wife was not being mistreated.
As Yolanda walked downstairs while checking her phone, she received a text. Vic had given orders to have Diana released.
