Chapter 82
Edgar asked, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Edgar glared at the dumbfounded Samson, barely restraining the urge to kick him to death.
Upon hearing this, Samson quickly nodded. "Yes, yes..."
He continued, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Ms. Henderson, I realized my mistakes."
"Ms. Henderson, I've already warned him... What do you think?" Seeing this, Edgar instantly switched from his fierce demeanor toward Samson to a sycophantic smile as he turned to Yolanda.
Yolanda didn't respond. Instead, she directed her gaze to the three students who were still standing against the wall.
Edgar immediately caught on and ordered the thugs at his side, "Return the money to them and apologize right now!"
"Yes, yes..." The thugs nodded hastily.
Soon, they returned the stolen money one by one. The three classmates of Bryce stood there. They were all bewildered as they accepted the money from the thugs.
Even now, they couldn't understand why Edgar was so afraid of Yolanda.
"Yolanda, you..." Bryce started to say something but hesitated.
These people were all connected to the underground forces, and he worried that Yolanda had been led astray and ended up associating with these scum of society.
Yolanda knew what Bryce wanted to ask and understood the original Yolanda cared about this friend. So she offered a brief explanation. "My dad has business dealings with Doxcon Group."
Bryce's expression cleared up when he heard this. "So that's it..."
Since Harold was involved with Doxcon Group, it made sense that Edgar would give her this level of respect.
Soon after, Edgar approached Yolanda. He grinned as he spoke, "Ms. Henderson, I've returned all the money to them. Can we let this matter go today?"
Yolanda shot him a cold glance. "Don't ever show up in front of me again."
Edgar quickly nodded and promised her. "You can count on it. I swear I won't come here to collect protection fees again."
After speaking, he wisely stepped aside, clearing the path for her. Without sparing Edgar another glance, Yolanda walked away with Bryce.
"Yolanda, I've noticed you've changed a lot..." Bryce hesitated for a moment after they exited the alley before finally voicing his thoughts. "Really?" Yolanda responded. "And how do you think I should be?"

Bryce frowned, struggling with his words. However, before he could
answer
Yolanda's phone rang.
She
pulled it out and saw it was Diana calling.
"Hello?"
"Yolanda, where are you?"
"I just got out of school. I'm near the subway station."

As soon as she finished speaking, Diana's commanding voice came through the phone, "Perfect timing. Don't
go home. Head to the Regency Hotel instead.
"Aunt Alice is hosting a dinner tonight to celebrate her nephew's promotion. You'll be going on behalf of our family to celebrate."
Diana never liked Alice much, and with Alice's personality, she would undoubtedly take the opportunity to brag tonight.
Harold was too busy with work to
attend such events, and Diana couldn't be bothered, so she decided
to send Yolanda and Yvonne as the Henderson family's representatives.
Of course, Yvonne didn't want to go with Yolanda. So she made up an excuse about having evening classes, leaving Yolanda as the only option. "Use your allowance to buy some fruit on the way. Don't show up empty-handed and embarrass me, got it?" Diana instructed.
"I got it."
