Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 382

[

“Ms. Yvette, please wait! Why don’t you rest here for a while?”

Yvette pursed her lips, her tone cold and commanding. “Get out of my way,” she snapped.

Despite her expressionless face, there was a sense of authority about her. There was something about her that made it impossible to disobey her.

Samuel felt a chill that went right to his bones. Swallowing his fear, he forced himself to speak.

“Ms. Yvette, Mr. Murray is furious right now. If you go, it won’t calm him down, but only make it worse. You should let Mr. Quinn and Mr. Murray handle this on their own.”

Upon hearing his explanation, Yvette’s long lashes fluttered slightly. She thought he made a good point. If she went to protect Wilson, it would only enrage Jacob even more..

Seeing that Yvette no longer intended to leave the room, Samuel finally sighed in relief. He hastily wiped the sweat from his brow, letting out a silent sigh.

Yvette was indeed the future lady of the Quinns. She was every bit as formidable as Wilson when she wanted to be!

As soon as Jacob stepped out of the VIP room, he swung a punch. It was fierce and fast, aimed directly at Wilson’s face. If it landed, it would surely leave a mark.

Wilson dodged the blow. His captivating eyes were devoid of emotion yet somehow instilled fear.

“Don’t hit my face.”

Yvette liked his face, so it must not be damaged.

“When did you start caring so much about your looks?” Jacob sneered.

Wilson’s tone was calm, which only made it more irritating. “If my face gets ruined, Yvie won’t like me anymore.”

“I’m going to fucking ruin your face right now! See how you’re going to seduce Yvie with that!”

As expected, Jacob was so angry his temple pulsed. He swung another punch at him with all his might. “Hey… Jacob, stop! Don’t fight!”

Collin rushed over as soon as he got the news. He caught Jacob’s punch just in time, his heart sinking at the tension in the air. With a forced smile, he tried to lighten the mood.

Imagine the spectacle if these two were to come to blows right here! The other wealthy families would surely laugh at them!

“We’re all friends here. Let’s talk this out. There’s no need for violence.”

A sinister, icy rage burned in Jacob’s eyes as he spoke between clenched teeth. “If he considered me a friend, he wouldn’t have hit on my sister!”

Yvette was still so young, and she had only been brought back to Murray Manor not long ago. All Jacob wanted was to spoil her and make up for the 18 years of hardship she endured while away.

Little did he know, his darling younger sister would be a target after her return to Jubilife.

Before he could even make up for her suffering, Yvette had been snatched away!

How could he not be furious?

“He’s ten years older than Yvie! He’s an old lecher preying on a young lady.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Such verbal abuse would have been fatal for anyone else. But because it was his fiancée’s older brother, Wilson had to swallow his pride.

Collin silently nodded in agreement. He understood why Jacob was angry. What Wilson did was indeed inappropriate. If it had been his sister being pursued by a man ten years older, he’d be furious too!

“Jacob, calm down. What Wilson did was wrong, but don’t forget, both of your families arranged this marriage years ago. Now that Wilson and Yvette like each other, it could be a good thing…”

Collin tried his best to soothe Jacob’s fury.

Jacob’s anger didn’t subside. “I had already reached an agreement with him to cancel the marriage between our families. He’s the one going back on his word! That old lecher!”

That was because Wilson didn’t know then that his fiancée was Yvette. That was why he had agreed to call off the engagement.

Wilson’s expression was cold and sharp as he spoke, each word firm and resolute. “There’s no way I’m calling off this marriage. I’m determined to be this lecher!”
