Chapter 88
Daniel asked, "Ms. Henderson, I left in a hurry that day and didn't get a chance to have a proper conversation. Could you possibly give me your contact number?"
Yolanda knew what kind of help Daniel wanted from her. Without hesitation, she extended her hand and said, "Phone."
Hearing this, Daniel immediately handed his phone to Yolanda as quickly as possible.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Yolanda took his phone, entered her number into his contacts, and handed it back.
"Thank you, Ms. Henderson." Daniel held the phone like a prized possession. He repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
"I won't disturb your meal any longer. I'll invite you to dinner properly another time."
Before leaving, Danel glanced around at the others in the private room. "Everyone's expenses tonight will be on my tab. Consider it my apology to Ms. Henderson."
No matter what they thought of Yolanda, Daniel's gesture undoubtedly showed her great respect, and it served as a harsh slap in the face to some of her relatives.
Everyone watched in stunned silence as Daniel left the room with his bodyguards, still reeling from the shock.
Alice's face was ashen, mostly from anger. Just moments ago, she had been gloating, mocking Yolanda. However, in an instant, Yolanda had become someone even Daniel wanted to curry favor with.
The stark contrast made Alice feel incredibly bitter. Yolanda was supposed to be a worthless nobody. For years, their family had used her as a benchmark for their superiority.
Ever since Vivian's birthday banquet, Yolanda had been unpredictable. She did things that were completely beyond their expectations. Feeling jealous and resentful, Paul blurted out, "Yolanda, what dirty tricks did you use to make Mr. Miller value you so much?
Without waiting for Yolanda to

respond, he immediately issued a warning. You'd better explain yourself to him before it's too late Mr. Miller isn't just anyone. If he finds out you deceived him, you won't have a good ending. Content

"That's right!" Paul's words seemed to snap most of the people in the room back to reality. They convinced themselves that Yolanda must have used some underhanded scheme to trick Daniel.
Otherwise, Daniel would never show such respect to someone considered worthless.
"Yolanda, you'd better come clean now, or you'll not only drag down the Henderson family but also involve us relatives," Jerome, who loved to act superior, scolded Yolanda.
However, Yolanda didn't even glance at him. She simply called the waiter over and ordered a dessert.
The pastry at the Regency Hotel was quite impressive. Although it was a notch below the desserts from the Hoffman family's pastry chef, it was still rare to find such quality in Riverdale City. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Yolanda was someone who never skimped on food.
In her previous life, she had a naturally high metabolism and never had to diet like other girls to control her weight.
She remembered traveling to
Fugresh with Nydia once. Nydia
would count calories obsessively at every meal, while Yolanda sampled all the signature dishes from the top one hundred restaurants listed in the travel guide. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
When they returned to Creybia, Yolanda's weight hadn't changed, but Nydia had gained five pounds.
Yolanda still recalled Nydia's resentful glare at that time. Now she realized that the discord and animosity had probably started much earlier than she had thought...
As Yolanda was lost in thought, Alice came over and rudely took away the dessert in front of her. "Yolanda, are you listening to me?"
Yolanda finally looked up, frowning slightly at Alice. She said, "No."
"You..." Alice was exasperated. She slammed the plate down onto the table.
