Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 38

Chapter 38 What Are You Staring At?

Lexie didn’t expect Yuliana to admit it frankly with a faint smile on her face, keeping her cool while being polite toward Lexie.

This reminded Lexie of the first time she met Yuliana. A few days before school reopened last year, the school had started preparations for the new semester, and it was in the same office that Yuliana also greeted her in the same manner.

The first impression Yuliana gave Lexie was different from other teachers in the school. She was not like a teacher in the school, yet she seemed to be like a teacher more than anyone else.

She didn’t know how to describe it. In her opinion, Yuliana was the most special among the school’s teachers. Lexie couldn’t help but pay attention to Yuliana, and she somehow felt jealous and envious of the latter.

When she first came to Juxshire Primary School, Lexie also wanted to have a good relationship with Yuliana, but Yuliana had a better relationship with Fiona. Hence, she wasn’t able to fit into their clique.

Since Fiona was a country bumpkin, Lexie thought she wasn’t half as bad as Fiona, but she couldn’t figure out what Yuliana liked about the latter.

Once, she made a joke about Fiona, which made Yuliana unhappy. Consequently, Yuliana chastised Lexie in front of the other teachers, humiliating her.

Since then, Lexie had always considered Yuliana to be an eyesore to her..

However, the students in Yuliana’s class had better grades than her students. Yuliana was younger and even more beautiful than her. Even though she was already married, Yuliana was still more popular at

school with the opposite sex than Lexie. Most importantly, Yuliana had married a young, handsome, and rich husband. She couldn’t help but sigh resentfully. “How could Yuliana get all the nice things?”

Nevertheless, after learning about Yuliana’s divorce, Lexie was so happy that she couldn’t sleep well at night, fantasizing about how she would trample and humiliate Yuliana under her feet. But now, seeing how calm and collected Yuliana was and how unbothered she was about the divorce, Lexie’s excitement dropped drastically.

After a while, she smiled stiffly and said, “It’s okay. I was just concerned about you.”

“Thank you for

your concern. If there’s nothing else, then I’ll head to the classroom first, Ms. Anderson.” Yuliana nodded slightly and left the office with her textbooks.

“Ms. Livingstone, wait for me!” Fiona shouted behind Yuliana and chased after her with a stack of workbooks.

Yuliana stopped in her tracks and waited for Fiona to come out. Then they walked together toward the school building. She looked at the workbooks in Fiona’s hand and asked, “Did you work overtime again on the weekends?”

Fiona replied helplessly, “I have no choice.”

She and Yuliana joined Juxshire Primary School in the same year, and they both taught first-year students from the beginning. However, after three years, the grades of the two classes were miles apart.

“By the way, how did Ms. Anderson know about your divorce?” Fiona suddenly asked.

Yuliana pondered for a while and said, “I don’t know, but it’s not a secret anyway. It’s fine if they know about

it.”

“But I’m sure you had no idea how horrible Ms. Anderson and Ms. Tyler were when talking about you before you came into the office.” Fiona was enraged at the thought of Lexie and Ariel’s remarks.

All of them had been working together in the same office for several years. They clearly knew what kind of person Yuliana really was.

“How can they simply speculate and spread rumors at their own will? Fiona fumed inwardly.

Yuliana comforted her instead. “Let them talk about it. In any case, they weren’t saying it in front of me. When they’re done talking, there won’t be anything more to gossip about me.”

Fiona didn’t expect Yuliana to be so open-minded. “You really don’t care about their opinions?”

“It’s not that I don’t care.” Yuliana smiled before she continued, “But even if I care about them, they’re not going to stop gossiping about me anyway.”

Fiona thought what Yuliana said made sense, yet she still felt angry.

Yuliana’s divorce was discussed privately within the school for a few days. Harsh and disrespectful statements were also heard. In spite of that, Yuliana didn’t respond to those remarks at all, and those who were waiting to enjoy the drama gradually lost interest after they realized there was nothing else to see anymore. Nonetheless, their gazes were somehow different when they saw Yuliana in school.

Ever since their meeting ended in discord last Saturday, Yuliana and Xandria had not contacted each other for several days.

On Thursday, Yuliana sent a message to Xandria, inviting the latter to have dinner together on the weekend, hoping to ease the tension between them.

However, Xandria did not respond after the message was sent, even after Yuliana had gotten off work.

When she got home, Yuliana called Xandria directly.

The phone continued to ring, but no one answered it until it hung up on its own.

Yuliana stopped calling after that. Once she had made some seafood pasta and finished her dinner, Yuliana began to mark the students’ homework she had brought back from school. After that, she read some lesson plans for a while. When she was about to go to bed at around ten at night, Yuliana hesitated for a moment before deciding to give Xandria another call.

She didn’t think she and Xandria should keep ignoring each other because of Harry. He was not worth it.

The call was answered quickly this time..

“Xani.”

“Yuliana, it’s Larry.”

Besides Larry’s voice, noisy and harsh music could be heard over the phone. It was obvious that they were in a bar or a nightclub.

Yuliana asked, “Where is Xani?”

Larry replied, “Xani is drunk, and now she’s going berserk over here, Yuliana! Could you come over? I’m worried that she’s going to cause trouble later!”

Yuliana frowned upon hearing his reply. “What’s going on?”

Before Larry could respond further, Yuliana heard a scream from the other end of the line.

Her heart sank. Immediately, Yuliana lifted her blanket, got out of bed, and said, “Send me the address. I’ll be right there.”

The bar was already in disarray when Yuliana arrived. Xandria and Kathryn were both glaring murderously at the people across them while some of their friends managed to restrain them. On the other side, Annabelle and her companions stood opposite them, neither side benefiting from the scuffle.

Yuliana hurried to Larry, who was grabbing Xandria’s arm, and asked, “What’s going on?”

Larry seemed hesitant at first but eventually remained silent.

Yuliana looked at Xandria and noticed that her hair was messy and there were several blood marks on her face. It was obvious they were caused by nail scratches. She couldn’t help but frown deeply at the sight of that “Xani!”

Hearing Yuliana’s voice, Xandria

Yuliana. She snorted. “What are med down a little, but it was apparent that she was still quite mad at This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

you doing here?”

A cold expression appeared on Xandria’s face as she looked away from Yuliana and glared angrily at Annabelle, who stood not far away from her.

Annabelle sneered, “What are you staring at? Xandria, I’m not done with you tonight!”

There was a sudden sound of a patrol car outside. The authorities eventually took away both parties involved in the bar brawl.

Yuliana had also followed them to the police station. It was only after Larry told her the entire story that she understood what Annabelle meant by “not done” with Xandria.

Initially, Xandria, Larry, and their friends were in the bar enjoying themselves when Annabelle and her friends arrived later. That night, Xandria had drunk too much since she had been in a bad mood recently. On the other hand, Kathryn despised Annabelle terribly.

Due to their intoxication, both parties started to cause a scene at the bar. A few words were being exchanged between them at first, but eventually, a fight broke out between them.

Most importantly, Xandria and Kathryn were the ones who started the fight.

Both parties who were involved in the fight made their statements and were reprimanded by the police while Yuliana waited outside the station. She knew very well that Annabelle’s refusal to let it go would make resolving this matter difficult.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps approaching from far away. Upon regaining her senses, Yuliana tilted her head and saw Harry walking over to her.
