Chapter 48
Surprisingly, the son of the general manager of Doxcon Group was the student council president of First Academy.
"The student council president…" Yolanda murmured, pondering for a moment.
First Academy had several thousand students, and she wasn't sure if her child still remembered their previous life after being reborn.
Hence, the most effective way to find the person she was looking for was to start with the student council, as they knew almost every student at the school.
Her primary goal was to avenge the original Yolanda. To do so, she must first earn Diana and Harold's trust and favor. Her plan was to let them have a taste of success through her help before stripping it all away, making them regret how they had treated the original Yolanda. This would put the original Yolanda's spirit at ease.
Even though she helped Diana out of a tight spot that night, she still couldn't replace Yvonne's place in her heart. Plus, Harold's attitude made her realize she needed to take drastic measures. Hence, she decided to help him secure the project he'd been after.
…
The next day, after her morning jog, Yolanda went to Doxcon Group. Even though she still appeared to be overweight, her recent exercise had paid off—she had lost five pounds in less than a week.
The original Yolanda's body had been so overweight and unhealthy that she was in a perpetually swollen state. Although she'd lost weight, she still looked bloated.
While waiting for the subway at the station, Yolanda found herself the center of attention. People were openly mocking her weight and the way her facial features seemed to be squashed together© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
due to her size. Some even went as far as to gasp when they saw her.
Yolanda, on the other hand, didn't feel a thing when she looked at her reflection. In fact, she found herself oddly curious about whether that man would still love her as much as he did in her previous life if he saw her now.
In her previous life, she was blessed with stunning features and a figure that even the most renowned international supermodels would envy, so she had never concerned herself much with her appearance. Yet, she had to admit that most people judge others by their appearance.
"If you're attending First Academy, I suppose I can take my time to restore my appearance," Yolanda mused, looking at her reflection in the glass—a reflection that seemed to draw disdain from everyone around her.
Then, a knowing smile crept onto her face. "It'd be quite interesting to meet you in this state, don't you think?"
Half an hour later, Yolanda emerged from the subway station and arrived at the entrance of Doxcon Group. Blake Rowse, the general manager of Doxcon Group, was the president's right-hand man. He'd been with the company for five years and had steadily risen through the ranks to his current position.
Of course, his rise to prominence was largely due to his influential family background.
Before arriving at Doxcon Group, Yolanda had done her homework on Blake's background and learned that the Rowse family was once a prominent family in Riverdale but had fallen from grace during Blake's grandfather's generation. Now, when people talk about Riverdale's elite, no one even remembers that the Rowse family was once a force to be reckoned with in the city.
Yolanda had also reviewed the bids from Henderson Group and its competitors, and she found that Henderson Group's proposal was more reasonable in terms of both the plan and the cost. Now that the project had been snagged by someone else, she suspected that, in addition to the renowned painting, the other party had promised Blake a hefty kickback.
As soon as Yolanda walked into the Doxcon Group, the receptionist looked at her with a hint of disdain.
Noting Yolanda's unattractive appearance and shabby clothes, she mistook her for a beggar, who had come to seek alms. She immediately yelled, "What are you doing here? This is private property!"
Yolanda got straight to the point. "I'm here to see your general manager, Mr. Blake Rowse."
