Chapter 15
Upon hearing that, Alice shouted exaggeratedly, "Is this a joke? How can this be an Ice Lily? If this is an Ice Lily, then the raspberry on my plate is a goldenseal of thousands of years.
"Yolanda, we all know that you don't have a lot of allowance and can't afford expensive gifts, but you shouldn't give such a thing and mess with Grandma.
"Diana, why didn't you give Yolanda her allowance in advance? Is Mom not important to you?"
Diana's face darkened as she was embarrassed. She lowered her voice and questioned Yolanda, "Where's the tea set I prepared for you?"
She didn't know that such a situation would happen when she had prepared a gift for Yolanda. Even though the tea set wasn't expensive, the other people wouldn't criticize it during such occasions.
Diana didn't expect Yolanda to make her own decision and give a flower she picked from who knew where to Vivian. She even claimed that it was an Ice Lily.
"If it's a gift better than the tea set, why should I give the tea set?" Yolanda asked.
When Diana heard Yolanda's words, she wanted to beat the latter up. However, she would only be even more humiliated because the people around them were watching them.
At this moment, she was furious.
Upon seeing the situation, Vivian felt disappointed. "Yolanda, I will like anything you give me, but remember that you have to be honest. You can't lie!"
Initially, she thought that Yolanda would change for the better after coming out of the juvenile detention center. She didn't expect the latter to fool others instead.
Yolanda looked at Vivian and said, "I'm not lying."
Vivian slammed her hand on the armrest, and her voice turned cold. "I won't blame you for giving me a flower, but you lied to me saying it's an Ice Lily. Do you think I'm easy to be fooled?"
"Diana, how do you teach your daughter? I feel embarrassed for you," said Alice fearlessly.
When the other relatives heard that, they all looked at Diana and Yolanda mockingly.
"Ice Lily? It is worth tens of millions of dollars. Because it's extremely rare, even if one had money, one couldn't buy it. You just got out of the juvenile detention center, so how can you obtain an Ice Lily?"
"You're so young, yet you lied because of your pride. If you grow up, you will only know how to scam others."
"This child can't be helped. Even when she grows up, she will only waste money."
…
Diana suppressed her anger. "Yolanda, apologize to Grandma now!"
"I'm not in the wrong. Why should I apologize?" Yolanda was speechless.
The Henderson family was an upper-middle-class family, but she didn't expect that not a single person from such a wealthy family could recognize the Ice Lily.
It seemed that the families in Riverdale City and Creybia were more different than she expected.
"Are you trying to anger me to death?" Diana regretted her choices.
If she had known that Yolanda would embarrass her, she wouldn't have brought the latter over.
Vivian sighed. "Yolanda, how did you turn out like this?"
Then, she turned around. It was clear that she didn't want to see Yolanda anymore.
"Today is Grandma's birthday. Hurry up and apologize. Don't make her upset."
"That's right. Why are you so insensible?"
The relatives around them began to target Yolanda and forced her to apologize and admit her mistake.
"Yolanda, you're in the wrong. You should apologize…" Yvonne walked over pretentiously and acted as a nice sister.
As Yolanda looked at the people before her, who were arrogant, her gaze turned cold. She took the box from the table and ate the Ice Lily in front of everyone.
The Ice Lily was beneficial to getting rid of the toxins in Yolanda's body.
Of course, if Vivian consumed the Ice Lily, it would have been more effective. But since Vivian didn't appreciate it, Yolanda didn't need to give the gift stubbornly.
"Yolanda, what's with your attitude?" Diana was about to reprimand Yolanda again, but she heard someone say something.
"Isn't that Fusion Group's box in Yolanda's hands?"
"Fusion Group?"
At once, everyone's attention shifted to the box.
"It really is the logo of Fusion Group…"
When Alice thought of something, she took a sharp breath.
"I saw the news a while back that Fusion Group bought an Ice Lily valued at 50 million dollars at an auction in Creybia." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"I saw this news before too!"
"It was trending this morning!"
"So…"
At this time, everyone realized a fact that they dared not believe. Perhaps the wildflower they thought was actually an Ice Lily.
Alice quickly pulled out her phone to check Twitter. She found the picture that was trending. The Ice Lily in the picture looked exactly like the one Yolanda ate moments ago.
"How could you waste such a precious item?" Alice shouted at Yolanda, feeling heartbroken.
In her opinion, Yolanda consuming it was wasteful.
"Precious?" Yolanda snorted. "Didn't you say it was worthless just now?"
"We didn't know it was an item from Fusion Group. If you had said earlier that it was from Fusion Group, would we have doubted you?" Alice put the blame on Yolanda boldly.
At the same time, everyone present was stunned when they heard that Yolanda brought a genuine Ice Lily. Especially Vivian and Diana.
When they saw the Ice Lily that had gone to waste, they all looked regretful.
"Yolanda, tell me the truth. Where did you get it from?" Diana refused to believe that Yolanda could obtain such a precious item.
Meanwhile, Yvonne frowned. She seemed to have thought of something and felt upset. She remembered that the Ice Lily was given to Yolanda by Zach at the scene of the car accident previously.
Why was Yolanda so lucky? If Yvonne had gone there a few minutes earlier and pretended to stop Evan's bleeding, she could have gotten the Ice Lily instead. What a pity.
Yolanda looked at Diana and said, "On the way here, I met Zach after I got out of the car and lent him a hand. This is a gift he gave me to express his gratitude."
Upon seeing how casual Yolanda was, Yvonne despised her even more. All of this should have been hers! She should have been the one to help Zach and get the Ice Lily.
Yolanda had taken everything away from her. She deserved death!
On the other hand, Diana didn't notice that Yvonne's expression had darkened. She was looking at Yolanda suspiciously. It was as if she wanted to check if Yolanda was lying based on her expression.
"Is that so? The Wright family isn't to be treated lightly. Don't make me find out that you're lying."
