Chapter 65
Drawing from the original Yolanda's memories, Yolanda soon figured out who the girl in the baseball uniform was. Her name was Casey Miller, and she was the biggest bully around. Even back when the original Yolanda was still in junior high, Casey had already built up quite a fearsome reputation.
As soon as the two delinquent-looking girls saw Casey, they quickly toned down their attitude and said cautiously, "Casey, we've brought her here!"
Casey sized Yolanda up. "So, you're Yolanda Henderson? How dare you mess with my friend on the first day of school? I'm going to make you regret it!"
The students who had picked on Yolanda that morning were made to scrub the restrooms by Harvey. This made them resent Yolanda, and they wanted to get back at her.
However, since Harvey was clearly on Yolanda's side, they were afraid that if they took any action, the academy would hold them accountable. Fortunately, one of them happened to be Casey's neighbor. So, they pooled their money and hired Casey to deal with Yolanda and teach her a lesson.
Then, they planned to seize the opportunity to capture footage of Yolanda crying and begging for mercy and post it on the academy's forum, ensuring that all students could witness her public humiliation.
That was how this scene everyone came about.
Initially, Casey had planned to collect her payment and get down to business, but when she saw Bryce standing next to Yolanda, she had a change of heart.
Bryce noticed the hostile looks Casey and her goons were giving Yolanda and was worried that she might get hurt.
"You should leave, Yolanda. These people look like trouble," he hurriedly said.
"Not so fast! Where do you think you're going?" Casey sneered. Then, she waved her hand at her goons, who swiftly closed in on Yolanda and Bryce.
"I'll be honest with you. You've messed with the wrong person. I'm here to make sure that you end up on your knees, begging for mercy."
Looking at Casey's arrogant expression, Yolanda had a pretty good idea of who the "wrong person you shouldn't mess with" was.
There were several people
threatening to teach her a lesson that day, but if Andrew had really wanted to deal with her, he wouldn't have sent these few people. After all, while Casey and her goons were pretty well-known around here, they weren't part of the underworld.
To those in the underworld, she was just a small fry. So, it had to be those students who were punished by
Harvey to clean the toilets for
mocking Yolanda at the academy
gates that morning.
When Yolanda realized that Casey and her crew weren't sent by Andrew, she couldn't help but feel that the whole thing had become somewhat anticlimactic.
However, Casey mistook Yolanda's silence for fear and grew even more arrogant. Pointing at Bryce, she said, "Hey, handsome, if you want to save this ugly duckling, I'll give you a chance."
"What do you think you're doing?" Bryce asked with a frown, glaring at Casey. "One more move, and I'm calling the cops!"
The delinquents cracked up, almost doubling over at Bryce's threat.
"Seriously? You're going to call the cops over a bit of trouble? Grow up already!" one of them jeered.
"By the time the cops show up, you'll already be beaten to a pulp!"
Bryce's face flushed crimson, trembling with rage. "Don't push your luck!"
It was only natural for an honors student like him to feel powerless against these delinquents.
"Easy there, handsome. If you don't

is to be my boyfriend and come with me tonight!" Casey's eyes were. locked on Bryce, and it was obvious that she was eyeing him witha hungry look.
