Chapter 521 It Is Impossible To Come Back From The Dead
When Yara was back at the Nichols residence again, there was dust all over her body. Apart from that, her white dress turned grey, and her dusty damped hair was in messy knots. There was even a flicker of sheer frigidness in her bloodshot eyes. In other words, her dishevelment at the moment was a stark contrast to her usual dignified self.
As Thomas had already left for work, only Yvonne and Melissa were at home at the moment.
Yvonne shot Yara a disdainful glance and mocked, “I heard your speech during the conference yesterday was non-comparable to the one from the Dream Corporation. You were badly defeated by them, weren’t you? Pfft! What a shame! Melissa would have outperformed you if she were the one to attend it yesterday!”
Needless to say, Yvonne was observant and had a clear insight into the current situation.
She used to bottle up her emotions in the face of Yara as she had pinned her hope on her to build a familial bond with the Bowers family. Now that the chance of the latter marrying Samuel was getting slimmer, it was pointless for Yvonne to butter her up.
Yara only stared at Yvonne coldly without uttering any words. The utter frigidness in her eyes sent a shiver down Yvonne’s spine.
“W-why are you looking at me like that?” Yvonne stammered.
She had gotten used to Yara, who tended to have her nose in the air at home for the past five years. Nevertheless, she had never seen the latter wear such a horrendous look before. She could not help shuddering at the sight of the ferocity in her eyes.
It was as though the latter’s penetrative gaze would turn into a dagger that ripped her apart! My goodness! She’s only twenty-four years old! But how could she have such a heinous gaze?
Yvonne tried to put on a brave front despite the surge of fear that started to well up from within her. At the same time, she suddenly remembered her date with the other three ladies from prominent families. She foresaw she would surely be late if she did not manage to step out in time.
The next moment, she pulled her grey fur coat tighter around herself and told Yara incoherently, “I have a date with my friends. I have to go now.”
After Yvonne had left, Melissa advanced toward Yara daringly and questioned her with a grimace, “Even if she’s not your biological mother, how could you talk to her in such a rude manner?”
“Follow me to my room. I’ve to tell you something,” Yara requested instead of refuting her words.
“Why do I have to go to your room? What is so secretive that you can’t be straight to the point here?” Melissa retorted.
