A Rose 471
“Okay, Mom.” Yvette nodded obediently and stepped out of the door. As soon as they were out of sight, Wilson took her hand, their fingers intertwining in a possessive gesture.
Yvette didn’t resist, allowing him to lead her. She lifted her stunning fox–like eyes to meet his, asking, “What did you do? Why is Mom so fond of you now?”
Wilson’s gaze fell upon her face, filled with tenderness and affection. “I simply displayed my feelings for you to Mrs. Murray.”
Ultimately, it was Yara’s deep love for Yvette that made her accept and approve of Wilson. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
A wave of warmth washed over Yvette’s heart as she looked at Wilson. Jacob and the others had been giving him a hard time lately. She couldn’t help but say, “You’ve been through a lot lately.”
Wilson chuckled lazily, his captivating eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at her. “It’s nothing, it’s what a fiancé should do.”
After all, he had stolen their precious little sister, so it was only fair that they came after him.
Wilson’s fiery gaze involuntarily drifted to her luscious, crimson lips. He swallowed hard at the sight.
Her lips were so perfectly shaped and beautiful, luring him in to kiss them.
Yvette felt her ears burn under his intense gaze. She blinked shyly and, on impulse, tiptoed
and kissed him lightly on the lips.
“Alright, I have to go back now!”
Adam and the others would surely come looking for her soon. Without giving Wilson a chance to speak, Yvette slipped away.
Wilson could only watch her retreating figure with a resigned fondness. An endearing smile graced his lips. His fiancée was getting bolder, teasing him and then running away.
How he wished he could catch and “punish” her where she stood.
Yvette had just entered Murray Manor when she received a call from Jake.
“Boss, bad news! One of our bases was raided by those people who were investigating you!”
Jake was fuming and bewildered on the other end of the phone.
“Boss, they didn’t find anything last time, but they somehow managed to locate one of our bases. It’s so strange!”
Her exquisite, porcelain features hardened at the news. The speed at which they’d uncovered
everything was too fast to be a coincidence. Someone had to be tipping them off.
Yvette’s fine features twisted in bitter anger. She was going to find out who played dirty and make them pay!
Wilson stood unmoving outside, his eyes following Yvette until she disappeared from view.
Without delay, Samuel gave him a polite report. “Mr. Quinn, Mr. Adam is quick on his feet. No sooner had you sent him the message than he had Master Xev’s base wiped out. Talk about swift! Unfortunately, Master Xev wasn’t there. Mr. Adam’s men came up empty–handed.”
Wilson wasn’t surprised by the outcome. He said casually, “He’s not that easy to catch.”
Those who rose to power in the underworld and held onto it for years would not be ordinary people.
“We’ll hunt them down, come hell or high water.
Samuel responded respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Quinn.”
Wilson was going all out to please Adam, choosing to go as far as burning bridges with Master
Xey.
