Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 428



A Rose 428

Jake couldn’t help but tremble, instinctively pulling back the hand holding Yvette’s arm. However, after realizing what he had done, he felt he had acted too cowardly, and it was humiliating.

Reluctantly, he spoke up, “What’s wrong with me holding my boss’s arm? We have a good relationship.”

His words sounded assured, but his reaction was honest as he dared not touch Yvette’s arm again.

Wilson couldn’t be bothered to deign him with a response. Without sparing a glance, he naturally took Yvette’s hand, his deep, magnetic voice especially gentle as he said, “I’ll take you home.”

Jake was furious at being ignored. He glared at Wilson, but Yvette stood protectively in front of him. She frowned and said unhappily, “Don’t glare at him.” ›

Jake heard a loud crack as he felt his heart break into pieces. “Boss… you’ve become so biased now!”

Yvette was way too protective of Wilson.

“No, you’re overthinking it,” Yvette blinked her eyes lightly, responding with an air of righteousness, “I’m very impartial! Don’t spout nonsense.”

Jake was speechless.

Wilson’s sensual lips curled up into a smile. A low chuckle escaped his throat, leaving a tingling sensation to anyone who heard it. “That’s right, my fiancée is the most impartial person.”

Hearing this, Yvette immediately lifted her chin toward Jake with an expression that seemed to say, “You heard that, right?”

Jake was left even more speechless, pouting and secretly glaring at Wilson. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Wilson might have been smug now, but once Xavier found out that he had stolen Yvette, his good days were numbered!

Suddenly, the phone in Yvette’s pocket began vibrating intensely. Upon seeing that it was a call from Yara, she moved to a quiet spot to answer.

As soon as Yvette walked away, Jake immediately seized the opportunity to glare at Wilson and scoffed coldly. “Don’t think just because the boss likes you now that it means anything. She’s only into your looks. Once Mr. Phillip returns, she won’t bother with you anymore!”

Wilson’s eyes instantly narrowed dangerously. They were filled with a murderous intent that sent chills down one’s spine. “Say that again, I dare you.”

“Crap! How terrifying!” Jake thought.

Jake felt the temperature in the air drop rapidly, as if he had been plunged into a frozen abyss. His legs went weak. He didn’t dare provoke Wilson any further, so he quickly made his escape!

Wilson clenched his fists tightly; the viciousness in his eyes hadn’t faded, and his expression was as grim and terrifying as ever.

From Jake’s words, it seemed that Yvette had a close relationship with Xavier Phillip of Dark Organisation.

“Yvie, when are you coming back? Adam has returned and is eager to see you!” On the other end of the phone, Yara’s gentle voice came through.

Yvette responded with a softened expression, “Mom, I’ll be back soon.”

“That’s great!” Yara was clearly delighted. “Yvie, I’ll be waiting for you at home!”

“Mrs. Murray…” Wilson had quietly approached Yvette, his menacing air now reined in. He spoke to Yara with a respectful and courteous tone.

“Oh, Wilson is there too!” Yara’s voice on the other end brightened with a radiant smile. “I love the flowers and plants that you’ve sent! You’re so thoughtful; I’ve been searching for these for ages and couldn’t find them. Thank you so much!”
