Chapter 697

Snow’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that Yvana’s uncle was Sebastian, which was one reason she
befriended Yvana.

The last time she could not speak to Sebastian at the party. Now that Sebastian had come to the Royal
Creek Institute, she suddenly had a glimmer of hope in her eyes. “Yvana, are you sure you’ve not
mistaken it?”

Harvey had changed lately, especially when he was in front of her. Snow was trembling in fear every
time she spent time with him, unsure when he would dump her. So she figured she had to secure the
patronage of the powerful. Her idea was that if she could rub shoulders with Sebastian like Nicole did,
then Harvey would certainly not dare to neglect her.

Snow did not know what Sebastian was doing at the Royal Creek Institute, but she could not afford to
miss this opportunity to see him. Snow tugged at Yvana’s sleeve. “Don’t you have your uncle’s phone
number? We should call and meet him.”

Yvana hesitated because she and Sebastian were not close, and she felt it awkward to call him all of a
sudden.

“Don’t tell me you can’t get along with Mr. Wyance.” Snow added.

Yvana took the bait. She retorted. “Of course not. My uncle loves me.”

She immediately pulled out her phone and made the call. After only four or five rings, the other side
picked up. “Yvana, what’s the matter?” Sebastian sounded kind, but his voice lacked enthusiasm. But
Yvana was already thankful as long as he picked up the phone. After all, Sebastian was a busy man.
Had she called him on normal days, his secretary would have probably answered



ve calls, which was already the best-case scenario. So she was pleasantly surprised that she got so
lucky today and that she did not lose face in front of Snow.

Yvana tried to suppress her excitement and pretended to be nonchalant. “Uncle Sebastian, I just saw
your car driving past at school. Have you come to the Royal Creek Institute?”

Sebastian chuckled and said, “Yeah, I’ve come to the Royal Creek Institute to see Mr. Ellison. what’s
wrong?”

‘He is here looking for Mr. Ellison. That makes sense now.’

Yvana mouthed her words at Snow. Knowing that Sebastian was here to see Mr. Ellison, Snow
suddenly got the question in her mind answered.

‘No wonder. Mr. Ellison is the only person in the Royal Creek Institute who can make Sebastian come
in person.’

Yvana continued. “I haven’t seen you for a long time. I don’t know if I can go to the principal’s office to
see you, and when you’re done seeing Mr. Ellison, we can go to a light meal together.”

Sebastian seemed to be checking his itinerary before he said, with regret, “I’m sorry, Yvana. I need to
meet someone important after this. I’m afraid I don’t have time. Come over now if you want to see me.”
He hung up after saying this.

Yvana felt it was already a bargain after talking with Sebastian over the phone for such a long

time. Even Snow was looking at her with envy.

Meanwhile, inside the gray car. “Mr. Wyance, is that your relative?” Merwin asked.



Sebastian nodded. He and Yvana were relatively close by blood, and he could still recognize her by her
name. If he had time, he would still keep in touch with her. But it meant little to him.

After driving around for a while and not seeing Nicole, he decided to look for Mr. Ellison.

The gray sedan pulled into the office building and stopped downstairs. Sebastian straightened his collar
and stepped inside. At some point, four or five more people came out of nowhere to escort him,
keeping others away from him. He walked into an elevator and unhurriedly pressed a button for the top
floor. This was not his first time coming to the Royal Creek Institute, so he knew where he was going.

He came to the top floor, which was solely occupied by the principal’s office, and no other employees
would come. So the entire floor was quiet.

Sebastian motioned with his hand for his men to leave him as he came in front of a door with a gilded
sign that read “Principal’s Office.” He politely gave a few knocks on the door before walking in.

Meanwhile, Snow heard Sebastian was going to the principal’s office and smiled. “Yvana, did you say
you wanted to go to see Mr. Wyance in Mr. Ellison’s office? You’ve seen Mr. Wyance since you were a
kid, but I’ve never seen him once. Can you bring me along so I can get a glimpse of what our future
governor looks like?”
