Yasmine had several suspects in mind. Helen and Selena were likely the ones who hated her the most, but she couldn't completely rule out Xavier either. While it seemed unlikely that he would stoop to such a level, he had already shattered her previous perceptions of Given the incident at the party yesterday, Helen had taken the day off and was currently at home.
him.
Without hesitation, Yasmine went straight to the Flynn residence. The s**t who opened the door was surprised to see her, especially since Helen and Selenaspent most of their day at home cursing her. "Ms. Sanchez, what are you doing here?" Yasmine said directly. "I'm here to see Xavier.
"Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Flynn isn't home. Perhaps you could come another day," the maid suggested.
A soft voice came from inside the house. "Who is it Yvette walked over and was surprised to see Yasmine. For a moment, she didn't know how to react and could only manage an awkward smile. "What: what brings you here?" Yasmine didn't have time for pleasantries. "I lost my phone during the banquet yesterday, and I believe I left it here.

She turned to the s***nt who had opened the door and asked, "Did you find a phone while cleaning yesterday?"
The se**t thought for a moment and said, "No, when we cleaned the hall yesterday, it was just me and another person. We only cleared away the wine glasses and snacks. We didn't find any phone."
"Ms. Sanchez, you see, there's really no phone here. Maybe you left it somewhere else. You should go look for it quickly." Yvette said, clearly trying to usher her out.
Yasmine knew that she wouldn't get any answers, but she still came just to observe her reaction. She was now convinced that. Yvette probably didn't know about it.
"Yvettel Who is it? Helen called out as she came downstairs, intending to get a glass of water. When she saw Yvette standing at the door, she looked closer and found that it was Yasmine. She immediately put down her cup and rushed to the door. "What are you doing here again? Do you think you haven't caused me enough trouble yesterday?" Yvette sighed and said, "Helen, Ms. Sanchez says she lost her phone here yesterday. I've already told her we didn't find anything, but she doesn't believe me."
you think our Flynn family would steal your phone? You lose it somewhere but come here to blame us? Or are you just looking for an excuse to get close to my brother?" Helen sneered at Yasmine with disdain. Yvette was stunned, and her face darkened.

"Since it's not here, I'll leave now," Yasmine said, realizing that Helen wasn't the one who took her phone.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"Instead of wasting your time looking for your phone, you'd better focus on figuring out how to invite Lena. I've heard that word's already spread around the school that you've invited her if she doesn't show up, I can't wait to see how embarrassed you'll be Helen gloated. Yasmine gave her a cold glance. "I met with Ms. Langston yesterday and extended the invitation. She hasn't given me an answer yet. How do you know she definitely won't come?" 1/3 14:30 Thu, Sep12 0 G %
"I advise you not to get your hopes up too high. Everyone knows that Lena has already turned down several competition invitations, all from schools even more prestigious than Aurelith University. Do you really think she would accept your invitation and offend others because of you?" Helen said mockingly.
Yasmine smiled faintly and said, "I suggest you find some time to visit the counseling office. I can help you with your psychological issues before they become incurable."
"You!" Helen was so furious that she raised her hand to strike.
Yasmine took a step back and said, "I advise you to stop. Last time, I let it go and didn't call the police, but if you dare to lay a hand on me now, I'll settle both old and new scores with your Helen eventually lowered her hand and said, "The Flynn family does not welcome you!"
The door was slammed shut. Yasmine glanced at it briefly and then walked away. She went straight to get a replacement card and bought a new phone.
"Bang!" The
As soon as as Yasmine opened the forum, she realized how much trouble that phone call had caused. Most of the students in the Psychology Department idolized Lena like a pop star. They were already planning to create a banner to welcome her. She tried calling Lena's assistant again, but once more received the same response: no time. She also didn't receive any updates on the papers she had sent for review. After thinking it over, she decided to go to the principal's office.
Carter greeted her with a beaming smile, "Ms. Sanchez, you did it! You managed to invite Lena. I'm sure the students in the Psychology Department will be very grateful to you."
"Mr. Leach, I came here today to discuss this matter with you, Yasmine said, her expression growing increasingly serious. Carter nodded. "Go ahead."
"Lena might not come,"
"Yasmine said.
"What?" Carter's hand trembled, almost spilling the water in his cup.
"I did meet with Ms. Langston yesterday and expressed my desire to invite her as a judge for the competition. However, she mentioned that she had previously declined similar invitations from other competitions, and I think I understand what she meant. She was refusing me as well, Yas Yasmine said I solemnly,
Carter's brows furrowed deeply. "Ms. Sanchez, this is not something to joke about. If she refused, then why did you say she agreed when I called you this morning?"
"My phone went missing during the banquet yesterday. At first, I thought I had left it in the counseling office, but it wasn't there either. It seems someone is deliberately playing a prank on me, trying to cause trouble," Yasmine said in a grave tone.
Carter sighed. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier? The school board has known since this morning and has already arranged to invite reporters."
Yasmine was a bit surprised that the school board had known it since this morning. "We can't delay this any longer. The more we drag it out, the higher the students' expectations will become, and it will be even harder to manage the situation. III go explain to the school board, but I'll need you to inform the school leaders," Yasmine said, understanding that the principal was also in a difficult position "That's all we can do at this point," Carter agreed.
Just as Yasmine was about to leave, Carter called out to her, his voice urgent and anxious, "Wait!"
What is it, Mr. Leach" Yasmine asked.
"It's too late," Carter said, his face turning grim. He turned his phone screen towards Yasmine. "The school board informed the media just ten minutes ago."
Yasmine read the line on the screen: [Renowned psychologist University's upcoming psychology knowledge competition.] family.
She fell into deep thought, recalling the expressions of Yvette about the lost phone was anger, even accusing Yasmine of usi her. That left Yvette as the only possible culprit. However, but she wondered.

Yasmine read the line on the screen: [Renowned psychologist Lena Langston may be invited as a judge for Aurelith University's upcoming psychology knowledge competition.] And the first source to release this information was the Flynn family.
She fell into deep thought, recalling the expressions of Yvette and Helen. It was clear that Helen's first reaction upon hearing about the lost phone was anger, even accusing Yasmine of using it as an excuse to get close to Xavier, so it probably wasn't her. That left Yvette as the only possible culprit. However, but she didn't seem unusual when they met today, 'Is it really her? she wondered.
