The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 398

Once she went to university, the rumors would naturally fade away.

"Endure? You're really good at comforting yourself."

"I think you're not enduring. It's just that you can't say anything to refute us."

Yolanda looked up to face three heavily made-up women in front of her.

She frowned as she said, "I'm not in that kind of relationship with Mr. Joplin. He really is my older brother."

"Older brothers are the trend these days. We get it."

The three of them had always enjoyed bullying Yolanda. With the rumors that were circulating, they had even more reason to act out. They cornered Yolanda against the wall.

She looked up and stammered, "W-What are you trying to do?"

"You should know that Mr. Joplin is already married. Why are you clinging to him so shamelessly?"

"Is it for the money? You act so innocently, but how many men have you been with? What exactly do they like about you? You're not even that pretty."

Yolanda had never experienced such malice in her life. She pursed her lips tightly in fear.

"Speak up. Why are you so quiet?"

The leader of the group grabbed Yolanda by the collar and pulled her closer. "No wonder I didn't like you from the moment I saw you. You're just a seductress."

These women had previously worked for Yvonne. They had been planning on tormenting Lorraine, but Lorraine ended up getting pregnant. Now that they had found another target, they latched on and wouldn't let go.

"Let's see how you'll seduce anyone if I injure your face," she said.

She reached her hand out, but the blade never came. She turned around impatiently. "What's taking so—"

She was utterly shocked when she saw the person standing behind her. She started to tremble as she nervously released Yolanda. She couldn't even form a complete sentence. "M-Mr. Joplin."
