Chapter 83: Show off the Engagement Ring
The light from the principal’s office shone on the three people in the corridor. Standing in the light, Yvonne held the handle with a sneer. "Well, are you going to meet the principal too?"
The three girls were vicious, but they were very timid. When they heard the word "principal", they were already scared out of their wits.
"We, we..."
"Who said we’re here for the principal? We’re just passing by!"
One of them acted tough.
"Good."
Yvonne closed the door and walked out, ignoring them. In the corridor, the girl left a long and narrow shadow.
Suddenly, one of the three girls screamed at her while clenching her fists. "Yvonne Taylor! Why are you so arrogant?" Yvonne stopped in her tracks.
Every time the three girls saw her arrogant look, they wanted to pounce on her and tear her face apart!
The girl compressed her lips, chuckled, and then turned around slowly. "Arrogant?"
She shouted, "Last time in the bathroom, and this time too. We are all classmates. Why do you always look down on us?"
"I look down on you?"
Yvonne merely smiled.
Her seductive eyes could topple states without any makeup.
It was no exaggeration to say that she had stolen the color of the whole world with such a smile.
In front of her, the three girls were dwarfed!
"I believe I should treat people the way they treat me. If you spread rumors behind my back, of course, I won’t treat you nicely!
"Or what do you want me to do? Explaining to you that I’m not that kind of person in tears?"
"You!"
The three women were furious.
They couldn’t beat Yvonne verbally and finally shouted, "Yvonne Taylor, you’re just a ho who Zachary abandoned! He’s getting married! You’re nothing!"
"Is that so?"
Yvonne stroked her hair.
"Speaking of this, I really want to show you something."
...
Although she wanted to graduate normally by concealing their marriage, she didn’t think it would be a problem even if she told the girls.
...
After all, they had no evidence. No matter how it was spread in the school, others would not take it seriously. They would only think it was another rumor.
With that, Yvonne took out a big diamond ring from her bag!
This was the ring that Zachary had given her at the school ceremony. He said it was an engagement ring, but in her heart, this was the ring that symbolized forever love.
Therefore, although she felt that this ring was too conspicuous and had never worn it, she carried it everywhere she went.
When the three women saw the ring, they were all stunned.
They had never seen such a big diamond before. In the dark corridor, the diamond’s perfect cutting surface reflected the light outside the window. It was so luxurious that no one dared to look at it!
"Do you understand?"
Yvonne held the super big diamond ring and spoke proudly.
"This is what he gave me!"
"How... how is this possible..."
"Could, could she really be..."
The three girls were struck dumb.
They did not know Yvonne was Frank’s daughter or a wealthy family like the Taylor Group.
They only felt that they had been slapped in the face. What a shame.
"No, this is impossible!"
Yvonne saw that they had yet to come to their senses and faintly spoke.
"Do you know why I didn’t tell the principal just now?
"Because I want everyone to not know that I am the real wife of Zachary Leinster!
"Only in this way, when I meet scum like you who bully the weak, can I enjoy your expressions when you are slapped in the face..."
When the three girls heard this, they were already out of their minds!
They had always thought Yvonne’s good days had come to an end, but they never thought that she would be the future Mrs. Leinster!
Her bright future had just begun!

Yvonne originally wanted to go to the Art Department to practice singing.
After such a mess, she was late.
Just as she was about to leave the school, Zachary called.
"Where are you? I’m passing by your school."
"I’m in school," Yvonne said, "what’s the matter?"
"The wedding dress store called me today and said that they have a new arrival. I’ll pick you up to try it on."
"Okay."
Once Yvonne thought of the three livid girls just now, she suddenly felt proud.
The black Maybach stopped at the school gate under everyone’s gaze.
Yvonne hung up and slid in.
No one could make out who the man in the car was. They could only see that it was a very young man.
He was noble and handsome...
In the car.
Yvonne closed the door and put her bag on her lap.
"Another bunch of people who spoke ill of me today. It’s so annoying."
Zachary took the opportunity to hug the little girl tightly. His mellow and masculine breath instantly surrounded her, and his voice was low.
"No one will gossip about you if you make it public earlier. It’s because you don’t want to."
"I just want to see who really cares about me."
At this point, Yvonne thought of someone.
"Oh, when I was working as an intern in your company, a colleague in the finance
department treated me very well."
"Well?" The man approached her with a sly look. "Is it a male colleague or a female colleague?"
Yvonne poked his face. "Of course it’s a female colleague." The man instantly looked uninterested again. "How was she treating you well?"
"It’s just... when the rest of the office were sucking up to Vanessa Hyneman and the manager, she still protected me even without knowing who I am."
Zachary raised his eyebrows. "There is such a person in the finance department? What’s her name?"
"Tracy Lewis, and she seems to have gone to Zagor University too." Zachary immediately spoke to Mr. King, who was driving.
"Mr. King, a finance department employee named Tracy Lewis, graduating from Zagor University. Do you know her?"
Mr. King nodded. "I know. She has been working in our company for many years and handled many big projects."
After that, he listed some of the big projects of the Leinster Group.
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Zachary nodded.
"Recently, the finance department is in need of a manager. Make her one."
"Okay."
Mr. King didn’t even have a single question.
With her experience, Tracy could make a manager, but she lacked a chance.
However, Yvonne was clearly a little shocked. "No way, is it that hasty?"
Zachary smiled, and so did Mr. King. They all knew that it wasn’t a hasty move.
Nevertheless, Zachary lifted her long hair and whispered in her ear, "The person who can recognize the future Mrs. Leinster is definitely not ordinary. I should give her this position."
...
At the same time, at the headquarters of the Leinster Group.
The Leinster Group was a big company. School had already ended, but the employees of the Leinster Group wouldn’t get off work soon.
It was nearly payday, so the whole finance department was very busy.
Perhaps everyone knew that, so no other colleagues would visit them.
The entire department was in a mess, but someone came to the entrance at this time.
A male colleague was the first to discover him.
"Mr. Jameson, what brings you here?"
The president’s office staff seldom came.
Except for a few who visited when Yvonne was still there, no one had ever come since then.
"Time to settle accounts. Very busy, huh?"
"Yes, but we are used to it."
Mr. Jameson smiled and said, "Considering your workload, the company has hired new employees for you. Oh..."
At this point, Mr. Jameson looked at Tracy, who was working hard on her computer. "Tracy Lewis, come here."
"Wait! I’m in the middle of something!"
This wasn’t the first time that Tracy had been so focused on work that she hadn’t noticed a big shot behind her.
She had been working overtime for a week and wished she could sleep in the company.
Except typing, she almost had no energy to care about anything else. Her hair was messy.
Seeing this, the male colleague hurriedly reminded her.
"Tracy, it’s Mr. Jameson."
Mr. Jameson?
Only then did Tracy come to her senses. She quickly got up with a pale face. "Mr. Jameson, I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you. I was completely focused." Seeing her like this, he couldn’t help smiling.
"It’s okay. The president really likes employees who are always thinking about work."
"What, what do you mean?"
Tracy immediately covered her body.
Obviously, she was thinking about something else.
Tracy said timidly, "No... no, the president already has Yvonne..."
"Ahem."
Mr. Jameson pulled a wry face. "It’s not like that. He wants to give you a promotion and a raise."
"Rea-really?!!"
Tracy thought she was dreaming!
She had been working in the company for many years. The people who came in together with her either were promoted or left. Some went to small companies and became managers, but only she remained the most ordinary employee.
There were a few times when she met up with previous colleagues or classmates, everyone would laugh at her knowing that she was still doing the same job as she did years ago!
Someone had persuaded her to go to a small company to change her job, but Tracy had never thought about it.
How should she put it? Maybe it was because the Leinster Group was so big that she could meet many outstanding people and gain good experience.
Therefore, she would rather stay as a low-level employee!
But now, her chance finally came.
"I, I’m not dreaming, am I? I’ve been working here for so many years, but I’ve never..."
Mr. Jameson smiled, "There are many outstanding people in the Leinster Group. Few can be promoted by him. You indeed should feel happy."
Mr. Jameson’s words finally made Tracy start to believe it!
"Thank you! Mr. Jameson!"
"You’re welcome. If you want to thank someone, thank the future Mrs. Leinster."
M-Mrs. Leinster?
Tracy was stunned.
Looking at Mr. Jameson’s back as he walked away, Tracy stood on the spot, her mouth agape.
Could... could it be...
Thinking of this, Tracy immediately made a phone call.
The call was picked up after a while.
There seemed to be a noise on the other end of the line. Judging from the sound, she seemed to be joking with someone and was very happy.
"Hello?" It was a sweet, familiar voice.
Tracy walked to the landing and held back her surging emotions.
"Yvonne... it’s me."
"Tracy?"
Yvonne was surprised when she heard this voice.
When they worked in the finance department, they ate and almost went to the toilet together every day.
However, since her identity was exposed, probably because of that, Tracy had never gone to talk to her again.
Yvonne had felt heartbroken for quite a while.
"Tracy, what’s the matter?"
"I... I just wanted to say thank you."
"What?"
Yvonne didn’t realize what was going on at first. She looked at Zachary beside her.
Seeing the playful look on his face, she instantly understood.
Tracy had been promoted, so she called to thank Yvonne.
"You don’t need to do this, because you deserve it.
"With your ability, you should have had this position a long time ago. But, it’s not too late now!"
"No, not too late."
Tracy felt very excited.
This was simply good news.
Just a month ago, a classmate of hers showed off her salary which was even $100 higher than Tracy’s for working in the Leinster Group. She kept mocking Tracy, leaving her embarrassed in front of others!
Now, she was the manager of the finance department!
Her monthly pay was several, no, ten times theirs!
She had worked hard for years, and it paid off...

Meanwhile, Lord Villa:
Hanging up, Yvonne found that the man on the side of the sofa had been eyeing her for a long time.
After coming out of school, on the grounds of picking her up for tea, Zachary had "tricked" her into Lord Villa.
It turned out that as soon as they sat down, he began to get his hands on her. They had been kissing on the sofa just now, but the phone call came in. "Turn off the phone."
Yvonne bashfully pouted facing the overbearing guy. "Why? What if... something urgent comes up?" "What could be more urgent than doing it with me?" They hadn’t seen each other for some time.
Every time he saw her, he felt a surge of desire for her.
...
He did want tea just now, but when he saw her long hair and small body, he wanted to press her down on the sofa.
"... I haven’t eaten yet. I’m hungry." Yvonne became timid feeling his intention.
As expected, just after that mumble, she was picked up by the man. She was shocked. "Ah! What are you doing? Hey!"
Zachary took her into his arms. Then he turned over and pressed himself against her.
"What do you think?"
