Chapter 94: Lifting Frank’s Cover
When Yvonne heard Frank’s plan, she burst into laughter.
"Dad, that’s an evil way to do it..."
"It doesn’t matter if it’s evil or not, as long as it works.
"What’s wrong with being evil? I just want to stop your mom from leaving the country."
"Okay..."
Yvonne was really worried about her dad’s intelligence. Her mom was so smart, would she really fall for his tricks?
Early the next morning, Yvonne went back to the Taylor Mansion.
There was no class today, and Zachary went to work as usual, and she arrived home early as she had agreed with her father.
The helpers in the house should have been given early notice of what to do today as well.
Frank had gotten ready early and was lying on the big bed in the bedroom.
He looked a little pale at his fussed look, probably having smeared his lips with something.
Surely a sickly look.
"Well, get on the phone to your mom."
Yvonne held the phone, a little hesitant.
"Dad, do we really have to do this?"
"Isn’t that bad... and it’s said that people who lie about being sick get retribution for it, and get really sick."
"Don’t worry, we just dissuade your mom from leaving the country and I will go to the temple for blessings afterwards.
"Why haven’t you called?
"Are you really my daughter?"
"Okay, okay."
She was really helpless with him, then dialed out on her cell phone.
As long as it was Yvonne’s number, Yesmina had always answered it quickly.
"Hello?
"Yvonne?
"What is it?"
"Mom... Something happened..."
Yvonne glanced at Frank, who was lying deliberately under the covers on the bed, and was embarrassed.
But Frank still seemed to be dissatisfied with her acting, and kept telling her to get some crying out of it.
"What’s wrong with you?
"You’re so fake like that, come on, be miserable!"
Frank’s eyes kept giving her signs.
"What’s happened?
"Yvonne?
"Where are you now?
"Do you want mommy to come over?"
"Um... Mom, I’m fine, I’m home, it’s dad...
"Dad had a physical examination yesterday... and the doctor said... he has a major illness."
"What did you say?!"
Yesmina’s heart stuttered at her words, "A major illness?
"What’s that?"
"It’s..."
Yvonne didn’t know any kind of major illness.
She couldn’t lie since she was a child, and she was nervous when Yesmina saw through her every time!
"It’s...
"It’s that really bad... lung... it seems to be from drinking..."
"What?
"Drinking?"
Yesmina was puzzled.
Frank was so anxious that he wanted to grab the phone and yell, "It’s smoking, smoking!"
He said with a wink, then made the motion of holding his hand over his cigarette.
"Oh, it’s too much smoking, something’s happened to his lungs." "Wait, Yvonne, you’re home now, right? "Take it easy, mommy’s coming over now."
Yvonne was worried now, "Mom, drive safely, no, don’t drive, you tell the driver to drive!"
Because in her previous life, Yesmina was distracted driving after she knew about Frank’s death before she was killed by Sarah Mooney’s big truck, and in this life, she couldn’t let the tragedy repeat again.
Yesmina was a sensible woman, perhaps she would indeed not have thought of it if Yvonne had not reminded her, but now that Yvonne had said it, she also thought that she should let her assistant drive.
"Got it, don’t worry about me, just behave yourself for now."
Half an hour later.
Yvonne and Frank sat in the bedroom and waited, Frank was still eating apples and playing with the ipad, and when he heard a movement in the yard, he immediately hid the ipad in the comforter, and the apple was thrown directly into the drawer of the bedside table, and the drawer was pulled shut.
Yvonne was simply speechless.
The sound of Yesmina’s hurried high heels could be heard downstairs.
"Yvonne, how is your father now?"
"He is..."
Yvonne glanced at the man lying on the bed pretending to be dead.
"Terrible."
"Where?
"What did the doctor say?"
Frank said what he had prepared before, "It’s fine, nothing major, it could just be lung cancer."
"What?!"
Yesmina’s face went white all of a sudden.
Lung cancer?
"How... how..."
She couldn’t take it for a moment.
Frank was still so young, and he still argued with her so energetically.
"How did this happen..."
Yvonne felt awkward on the side.
Only Frank was still acting conscientiously, "But it’s nothing serious, it shouldn’t kill me for a while."
"Is it early or late?"
"This..." Frank didn’t know much about these diseases either and ended up blurting it out, "It should be good for a few years at least!"
Yesmina swayed and almost passed out!
Yvonne saw the situation and rushed forward to support her mother, "Mom, don’t worry, Dad is... Dad is not that so serious!"
"Yvonne, do you remember exactly what the doctor said?"
"Um..."
Yvonne exchanged glances with Frank again and said awkwardly, "The doctor said that Dad is usually stressed and always smokes and stays up late, that’s why he is sick... He needs to take care of himself and cooperate with the treatment.
"It’s important for him to stay in a good mood and worry less."
Yesmina’s face was grim.
"Take care and cooperate with the treatment.
"Didn’t the doctor say anything else?"
Frank was worried that it wasn’t serious enough and added, "The doctor said I’m so serious that there is a chance I won’t live for years!
"If anything happens to me, nothing else is wrong, but I feel guilty of you and Yvonne..."
When Frank said this, his face had that grief-stricken look on it.
The fake was made to look like the real, it was breathtaking!
Yesmina cried even more severely at her words.
Because Yvonne was there, and it was something important, she couldn’t think of any deranged person who would fake cancer to deceive people.
She didn’t raise any suspicions and eventually couldn’t hold back the tears.
When Frank saw that she was so worried about him, he was touched inside.
And regardless of the fact that Yvonne was still there, he smoothly swept the woman sitting on the bed into his arms!
"Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m strong, it’ll be fine!"
Yvonne was really speechless again.
Man’s mouth cheats the hell out of people!
She really couldn’t see this and wanted to exposed it so badly!
Frank really... was so unethical to keep mom in Hiltonan!
"I’m just worried that even though Yvonne is married, she’s only 18, she doesn’t even have a marriage certificate, and she’s not legally protected.
"There are still 2 years until she can officially get a marriage license, and it’s safe to get that, but in case I have a problem in these two years, and you are abroad, Yvonne..."
Frank finally talked to get the conversation on track.
Yesmina said, "You are so seriously ill, I am not at ease to let Yvonne deal with that Yeliz alone, I... I won’t go abroad!"
"Really?"
Frank looked at her with joy.
"I was just not in the mood to go after what happened to you.
"Even though... we’re divorced, but after all, we’ve known each other for so many years... until you get better, I’m not going anywhere!"
"Really?
"Great, Yesmina, I’m content with your words..."
Frank was still acting, and what turned out to be shocking was that Yesmina was actually overly sad and kissed him directly on the lips.
Yvonne had never seen her parents so in love again all these years and was shocked.
The next second, teary-eyed Yesmina left from his lips.
Just then, she saw that Frank’s originally pale lips were suddenly smudged with a smear of yellowish white, something like powder, revealing a really stupidly rosy lips, and there were two colors instantly showed up.
Yesmina’s eyes were still wet from tears, and she frowned, "What is this?"
...
"Ah... this... what is this?"
Frank foresaw that something bad was going to happen.
Yesmina’s tears, which had not yet dried up, stopped now.
Her face darkened little by little, and Yvonne looked at it from the side and knew that something was not good.
she hurried up and pulled her mom who was about to lose control.
"Mom, maybe dad ate something that left powder on his mouth, let’s go outside..."
"Wait!"
Yesmina, however, was not pulled out by Yvonne.
Instead, she stood up.
In one fell swoop, she lifted the cover off Frank’s head!
"Wow!"
The view under the cover was all revealed.
He was indeed wearing his pajamas, but the iPad on the bed was revealed all at once.
The iPad interface was still the game that Frank liked to play, and it showed that it was in play.
Frank’s screen name and his majestic avatar were in plain view, and as soon as Frank accidentally touched the button, the sound of the cheerful game music came from the tablet!
Tick tock, tick tock, and the iconic voice over.
"Pass!"
"Waive!"
Yvonne really didn’t know how to react.
There was dead silence.
Yesmina’s face went dark.
Frank realized he was playing off this.
"Yesmina, don’t... Don’t get angry...
"You... drink some water..."
Frank pulled open the drawer and prepared to pour her water.
This resulted in just revealing the apple that was previously hidden in a bowl in the drawer along with the fork.
Yesmina’s brain was really going to explode when she saw this.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
She growled.
"Frank, you big liar!!!
What was all that talk about loss of appetite and lung cancer and not having too much time to live?
And he even took foundation, put it on his lips, and pretended to be sick.
Why was she so stupid?
"Yesmina, listen to me..."
Yesmina turned his head and walked away, Frank chased after her, ’’Listen to me, I didn’t mean to lie to you... I, I just don’t want you to go abroad... I don’t want you to go abroad!
"I... I don’t want you to leave..."
"Get out of my way!!!"
Yesmina didn’t want to care about him anymore.
If there was that little change of heart and feelings before, now it was really just ridiculous.
She pulled the door open and got in, simply treating Frank like he was air.
Frank chased the car, "Yesmina, don’t be angry, OK? I’m not, I’m not..."
"Roar..."
With a roar of the engine, the Maserati drove out.
Frank wanted to drove after her first, but Yvonne pulled him back.
The sun was dazzling and Yvonne squinted, "Forget it, Dad."
She shook her head.
She knew this wouldn’t work.
Even if he hid it today, sooner or later it would still be revealed.
Frank was frustrated.
"Yvonne, I just want your mother to stay.
"Don’t leave the country.
"Am I wrong?"
Yvonne shook her head, "Dad, you are not wrong, but we shouldn’t use this method to lie to mom."
She also realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Maybe if you talk to Mom properly, it will be okay.
"But we lied to her like this... and she’ll feel insincere."
Sincerity was the foundation of a relationship between two people.
"Dad, think about it again."
Yvonne said it and then also took the car and left.
Although there was no class today, the Belline’s staff from earlier in the afternoon said they were going to gather those previously selected at the Zandia University to learn a set of dance moves.
The dance moves would be taught to them by a professor from the Department of Dance at the Zandia University.
They then needed to practice diligently and eventually audition for the nationwide audition.
According to what Yvonne knew, Belline had selected a total of three girls at Zandia University this time.
In addition to Yvonne and Amy, there was a girl from Television Broadcasting Science major.
But it seemed like a shame that this girl was Amy’s best friend and she would be about to become Yvonne’s nemesis as well.
-
Zandia University, dance studio.
When Yvonne arrived at the classroom, both girls were already there, Amy and Ashley Miller.
Both girls were on the dance team, so they had long been familiar with the dance teacher who was responsible for teaching them the moves this time.
Before Yvonne even entered the classroom, she heard the three of them talking and laughing.
"Ms. Hall is the prettiest."
"Yes, this necklace around your neck is so chic and nice."
"You two are the only ones with sweet mouths."
Ms. Hall was over 40 years old, but was dressed stylishly and beautifully.
Just then, she saw Yvonne in the doorway.
First, she gave Yvonne a quick glance who had excellent body proportions and aura.
Only, it was said that she had no foundation in dance and had not been part of a dance team before.
And Belline needed to shoot underwater dance moves for this photo shoot.
Without a foundation in dance, it would have been very difficult to outperform students who had been dancing since elementary school through sudden learning, not so much in terms of how difficult the moves were, but in terms of a physique, a flexibility, and a body control that could be very flawed.
This flaw would become more apparent when they went underwater.
Because people were inherently nervous when they go underwater, and when they do, their limbs were uncoordinated and uncontrolled, and their aesthetics were greatly diminished.
Even those who studied dance couldn’t handle the difficult underwater dance, let alone a rookie like Yvonne.
So Mr. Hall didn’t expect much from her, and just greeted.
Then it was time to start teaching the class.
"The moves aren’t hard this time, but it still takes talent to make them feel amazing, so you two need to learn."
"You two."
The teacher directly ignored her.
Yvonne’s heart was quite unpleasant.
It was not like she wanted to be picked that badly, but it was still not nice to be looked down upon.
But even so, she learned with particular care.
This seriousness of her attitude made Ms. Hall look at her slightly more favorably.
There were only a few particular tests of flexibility, and both Amy and Ashley Miller completed them perfectly, lifting their feet above their heads.
As a result, Yvonne couldn’t even lift it up, and her limbs were still stiff.
Ms. Hall immediately shook her head helplessly again.
Her body flexibility was too poor.
But there was no way around it.
The school’s mission this time was for someone to just make it to the final, and she would have 15 thousand dollars as bonus.
So she would still focus on training Amy and Ashley Miller, instructing the moves with a little more attention to them on purpose, even helping them stretch themselves to get the moves right.
When it came to Yvonne, she was only spoken casually, basically treating her as she was not there.
Class dismissed.
Amy and Ashley Miller were in high spirits.
Although they were also competitors, the two were close and didn’t argue with each other, instead they complimented each other.
But when they faced Yvonne, the sarcasm was one after another. "I really don’t know why Belline picked you in the first place.
"You can’t even lift your leg, loser."
"Really, what a joke.
"Can even someone like you do a commercial? What kind of moves are you going to do then, aerobics?"
Ashley Miller had long heard Amy complained about Yvonne countless times.
When they met for the first time today, she was shocked by her beauty, but she didn’t know where she came from, so she laughed at Yvonne at will.
Yvonne didn’t take them to heart and grabbed her backpack to leave.
Just then, Ashley Miller stretched her leg to stop her, "What, are you really deaf?
"You can’t hear me every time I talk to you?"
