Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 394

After seeing Wilson off, Yara said, “But I must say, that Wilson is really quite handsome. If we’re talking about looks, he’s the only person in the whole of Jubilife who’s worthy of Yvie!”

Her beautiful, excellent, darling daughter deserved only the very best of men!

Upon hearing this, Jacob’s face turned uglier. “Well, at least we know now who Yvie takes after,” he muttered.

Yvie had been deceived by that brute Wilson’s good looks. But now, even their mother was falling for his charms too?

“What’s that attitude you’re giving me?” Yara glared at Jacob, then thrust out her chin proudly. “Yvie’s my very own daughter. Who else would she take after?

“Besides, Wilson truly does look handsome. No wonder Yvie likes him! Back in my younger days, I’d have liked someone as handsome as him, too!”

“And I wonder who was the one who opposed their marriage so vehemently right before this,” Irwin said bitterly. “You started singing a different tune right after you saw his face. It seems that you’re just as shallow as you were back then!” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“You’re calling me shallow? You really are itching for a good smack, aren’t you?” Yara smacked him hard.” If I hadn’t been shallow in my younger years, would I have fallen for you?”

Irwin looked pleased to hear this. “Seems like I was quite a looker back in the day!” he said jubilantly. The snarkiness was gone from his voice.

Bothered by his cockiness, Yara jibed, “What are you so puffed up for? As if an old geezer like yourself is in the same league as that Quinn boy!”

Irwin was left with nothing to say.

Well, they did say love doesn’t last forever, didn’t they?

“Ahhh! What are you trying to do?”

Passing through an alleyway on her way home, Madison found herself seized by some bodyguards dressed in black. Alice then had her dragged into a toilet cubicle with no chance of rescue.

Madison stared in fear at the bodyguards standing behind Alice, “What do you want with me? Let me out!” “What, are you scared?”

Seeing Madison tremble in fear, Alice smiled triumphantly. She fixed her with a venomous glare.

“You were pretty cocky back today, weren’t you? You said I got what I deserved, that I was ugly?!”

Thinking back to the humiliation she had suffered in the classroom that day, Alice’s fury rose like a stoked fire. She slapped Madison hard across her face, cursing her as she did.

“You fucking bitch. How dare you cheer Yvette on and mock me, when you come from some lousy mediocre family? I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Even after she’d said this, Alice’s anger was far from extinguished. She kicked Madison hard in the stomach, making the color drain from her face in pain.

“Ouch… That hurts…”

Seeing Madison suffer like this, Alice only felt pure elation. She tossed her phone at Madison.

“Right now, you’re going to call that bitch Yvette, and tell her to come here,” she threatened. “If you do as I say, I’ll let you go. But if you don’t, I have my ways to put you through hell!”

Yvette had a luxury car to come pick her up every day. Kidnapping her would be an extremely difficult task. The only choice left was to use some trickery to lure that bitch into coming to her!

The plan was to capture Madison before using her to lure Yvette over.

After whimpering in pain, Madison worked up the strength to speak. “You’re going to make me trick Yvie? No way, I’m never doing that–Ahh!”

Before Madison could finish, Alice grabbed her by her hair impatiently. “If you don’t call that bitch Yvette right this instant, I’ll strangle you!”

Madison cried silently, too pained to say anything else. Alice scoffed, chucking the phone at her. “Make that call. Don’t make me repeat myself, or I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
