Chapter 1163:
Christina just watched the chaos unfold with a deepening smile. She wondered how they would react when they finally realized Yolanda was the real plagiarist.
Christina wasn’t rushing that moment. No, she was playing the long game. She’d wait—wait until Yolanda thought she’d won, until she was basking in the spotlight. And then Christina would knock Yolanda off her high horse, hard. The higher Yolanda climbed, the more satisfying it would be to watch her crash.
Meanwhile, at Bayview Estates.
“Yolanda! Did you see what’s happening online?” Katie burst into the room, practically vibrating with excitement.
Yolanda glanced up, faking unawareness. “What’s going on?”
She’d seen everything already. The accusations, the outrage—it was all going exactly the way she’d planned. This time, she was certain Christina would be finished.
“Look!” Katie shoved her phone under Yolanda’s nose. “People are tearing Christina to shreds! They think she stole your work!”
Katie wasn’t just spectating—she’d pulled a few strings behind the scenes to make sure the whole scandal went viral. And clearly, it worked.
But even with the satisfaction bubbling inside her, Yolanda feigned a concerned frown. “She’s getting dragged pretty badly. What if she breaks down or something? Maybe I should post something… clear the air a bit.”
“Are you kidding me?” Katie snapped, eyes flashing. “Why would you do that? She stole your work! Let her deal with the fallout.”
Yolanda hesitated, lowering her voice like she was actually worried. “Yeah, but what if she can’t handle the distress and does something reckless?”
Katie didn’t miss a beat. “Yolanda, don’t even think about defending her. If you do, I swear—we’re done.”
Yolanda frowned. “Katie, that’s not fair. You’re putting me in a really tough position.”
“I don’t care,” Katie said coldly. “It’s her or me. You decide.”

Yolanda stayed quiet, her expression distant, her thoughts clearly troubled.
“Yolanda, you’re hesitating!” Katie snapped, turning away in anger.
“I’m sorry, Katie,” Yolanda said at once, her tone carrying genuine sincerity. “Please don’t be upset. I never meant it that way.”
“I don’t care. If you won’t side with me, then I’ll never speak to you again,” Katie huffed, still sulking.
“Alright, alright, I’m on your side. Does that make you feel better?” Yolanda answered with a weary smile.
The moment Yolanda declared her loyalty, Katie brightened, slipping her arm through Yolanda’s with affection. “That’s my good Yolanda.”
“You’re always so childlike. When will you finally grow up?” Yolanda said, her voice laced with gentle indulgence.
