Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 440

“That’s right. I only found out upon returning home.” Adam looked incredibly pleased. He began to boast even further, “My sister is exceptional!”

“She’s incredible! We would expect nothing less from your sibling.” Upon recalling Yvette’s heroic actions, his men offered genuine praises.

“Your sister is good at combat. She’s a great driver too. Most importantly, she’s bold. She’d make a great addition to the team!”

The situation yesterday was extremely dangerous; even a fully–grown man would feel afraid and reluctant to go in. However, Yvette was fearless and level–headed throughout the entire ordeal. On top of providing them with assistance, she managed to avoid any injuries.

“He’s right, captain. Your sister has potential. Maybe we should bring her back to base camp for training-”

“No!” They didn’t get to finish before Adam interrupted them firmly.

“Why not, captain? She’s a strong candidate. You even said it yourself that you’d like to bring her back to base!” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Adam cleared his throat. Prior to discovering her identity, that thought did occur to him. However, the situation was now different. Yvette was his sister, and life at base camp was difficult. He couldn’t possibly let her go through any hardships!

“No particular reason. Don’t bring this up ever again!”

Since he was getting annoyed, they didn’t dwell on the matter any further. Instead, they shifted their attention toward legitimate issues.

“How are things going with the medication, captain? Is she willing to sell it to us?”

Adam nodded. “Yes, it’s already been settled. The medication will be delivered to you soon.”

“That’s great news!” they exclaimed excitedly. “Your sister is actually our lucky star!”

“Exactly! I feel like I owe her an immense amount of gratitude.”

Yvette walked into the classroom. She nodded at the people who greeted her before lazily making her way to her seat. She was now extremely popular amongst her classmates, while Alice was treated like an

outcast.

Alice’s jealousy grew, and she glared at Yvette.

Noticing Alice’s stare, Yvette slowly turned to look at her with an icy gaze. Unlike a couple of days before, Alice looked unusually spirited. Moreover, she didn’t appear as fearful as she did. She even glared menacingly at her.

Yvette’s lips twitched in annoyance. Something felt off. Did Alice manage to find someone powerful to back her up? Why is she suddenly so bold?

When Alice made eye contact with her, she felt a chill run down her spine. Subsequently, she lowered her head frightfully. Immediately afterward, her expression soured in realization.

Why was she afraid of that bitch, Yvette Murray?

The Quinns have already invested in the Robertsons. With their protection, not even the Murray family would be able to threaten her family! Yvette had no right to be so obnoxious!

was just as Alice expected. Wilson cared about Victoria more than he cared about Yvette. When ictoria asked him to help the Robertsons on her behalf, he agreed right away!

ctoria was a fool who thought of Alice as her best friend With a connection like this, Alice wouldn’t ave to fear Yvette at all

With that in mind, Alice began smiling gleefully. After Wilson revoked their marriage agreement because

Look at how happy Alice looks right now, Yvie. How nasty

wish we could kick her out of the class!”

pon hearing this, Yvette said casually, “Don’t worry. She won’t be around for much longer.”

When Madison recovers from her injuries, Yvette would make Alice pay for her actions. She’ll just let her ave her way for a little while more.

er classmates placed their full trust in Yvette’s words. They immediately began nodding in joy. “Okay. vie. We’ll wait for her to finally get out of our classroom!”
