Chapter 84
Someone said, "But this is also thanks to some people's overestimation of themselves. Otherwise, Paul wouldn't have such a good opportunity."
"Yeah, someone who hasn't even finished middle school dares to say they can top the exam?"
"First Academy is for genuine students, not for people from the juvenile detention center."
"Haha..."
"Paul going to the First Academy means his future is bound to be limitless. Getting into college in Creybia will be a piece of cake."
The guest sitting at the same table as Yolanda looked at her with disdain as if she were a fool. Their expression was filled with mockery.
Alice's family basked in the praise from their relatives, their joy visibly intensifying, especially Paul, who proudly lifted his chin as if he had already taken Yolanda's place at the First Academy.
"Yolanda, once you're expelled from the First Academy, no other school will accept you. You might as well start planning to find a job now."All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Elena nodded in agreement and added, "That's right. Even though your family has some means, you can't just rely on them forever. Why not have Robert help you find a job?"
"Robert is now the HR manager at Fusion Group. He could easily arrange a janitorial position for you."
Elena's son, Robert Lawson, had just been promoted a few days ago, and she took every opportunity to brag about it.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
As soon as Elena finished speaking, Neil sternly interjected, "Fusion Group is a public listed company. How could we offer a job through backdoor means? And Yolanda has no skills. Even for a janitorial position at Fusion Group, she wouldn't qualify."
"Exactly!" Robert chimed in. "Our company requires at least an associate degree for such positions. She doesn't meet the requirements."
Robert's comment drew unanimous agreement from the surrounding relatives and friends.
"Fusion Group is for the most talented individuals. Only the best can get it."
"Fusion Group is such an impressive company, and Robert was promoted to manager before turning 30. Truly outstanding!"
"I wish I had such an excellent son."
"Ah, not having a remarkable son is one thing, but having a useless daughter who shows no ambition is just a waste."
Hearing the increasingly harsh comments from the guests around her, Yolanda's frown deepened. An icy atmosphere seemed to emanate from her.
Yolanda's uncle, Joe, looked at
Yolanda's growing cold demeanor with disdain but didn't counter her. He said, "If nothing else works Yolanda, you can come work for me.
"My factory still needs female workers. Though, with your qualifications, you'd only be suitable for the most basic tasks on the assembly line. "Of course, if you're willing to work hard, earning one thousand dollars a month is possible. Come and see me tomorrow to start, and I'll arrange something for you."
"Yolanda, don't you want to thank your Uncle Joe?" Alice urged as if it were a great favor she was granting.
Hearing her words, Yolanda's gaze slowly shifted to Alice. A cold smile spread across her lips.
"Yolanda, I'm talking to you." Alice's irritation flared when Yolanda remained silent.
Yolanda looked at Alice, her smile growing even colder. She said, "Keep your so-called kindness for those who need it."
Joe and Alice were speechless. They were taken aback, thinking Yolanda was lost in thought. They exchanged baffled glances.
"Your Uncle Joe and Aunt Alice are

kindly offering you a job, and you not only fail to appreciate it but also look down on the opportunity? Do you even realize your situation? Being given a job is a favor. Don't be ungrateful."
Alice's uncle, Jerome Lawson, knocked on the table with mild force. He frowned at Yolanda as he

scolded her, "Is this what your family taught you? Don't you know how to respect your elders? Get up and apologize immediately."
Just as he finished speaking...
