Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 334

Jacob added gently, “I’ll also pick you up after class. If there’s anywhere you want to go after that, I’ll go with you.”

Yvette finally came to a realization. Jacob was trying to prevent her from meeting Wilson. She lightly clicked her tongue in disapproval.

“It’s fine, Jacob. I can come home by myself after class. I don’t want to trouble you.”

Jacob did not relent. “Yvie, I told you that I like it when you trouble me. It’s a deal, okay?” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Just as Yvette was going to reject Jacob again, he lightly pushed his glasses up and put on his most endearing puppy eyes.

“Yvie, do you hate me? Do you not want to see me, or allow me to pick you up from school?”

Yvette didn’t have the heart to reject him. She ended up accepting his offer to chauffeur her to campus and back.

Ashton and Sean inwardly cursed vulgarities as they observed the events unfold.

The two hadn’t expected Jacob to be such a pretentious person, too! They were determined to learn from Jacob’s ways.

30 minutes later, Jacob’s car stopped outside Jubilife University.

After seeing Yvette off, the gentle expression on Jacob’s face morphed into an icy glare. He looked at Ashton and Sean coldly.

“Remember what I told you. If you can’t stop Wilson this time, you’re not going to like what I do to you after.”

Ashton and Sean couldn’t help but shudder. They immediately nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Jacob. This time, we’ll keep a close eye on Yvie.”

They would never give Wilson a chance to get close to Yvette.

When Yvette reached her classroom, the noisy atmosphere instantly turned silent.

“You’re here, Yvie!”

vette’s classmates surrounded her like a flock of birds.

“It’s such a pity that you took a leave of absence yesterday, Yvie. Not long after you left, Mr. Rusell came to our class with Dr. Marx!”

“Yeah, you left too early. Otherwise, you would’ve met Dr. Marx too!”

Yvette raised her brows at the news. She felt relieved that she decided to leave class early yesterday. Eustance would’ve bothered her endlessly had he caught sight of her.

“Silence, now!” Charlie yelled as he walked into the classroom. “We’ll be having that friendly competition with Yael University today. We all know that the people from Yael University look down on us, so we must win the competition and earn their respect!”

“Professor Lawrence is right. We must win with flying colors and prove Yael University wrong!”

“Yes! We have to win!”

Charlie nodded in satisfaction. Then, he said to Madison, “Ms. Kennedy, don’t be nervous about the friendly match. Just do your best. We have faith in you.

University and Jubilife University had to each send a representative to participate in the medical exchange. Undoubtedly, Liam would be representing Vista University.

Charlie initially intended to select Yvette as the representative for Jubilife University, but she refused to participate. Left with no choice, Charlie chose Madison instead.

Madison wasn’t exceptionally gifted in medicine, but not everyone was a genius like Yvette. Madison was pretty good in her own right. She was usually a quiet and gentle girl.

She nodded hard at Charlie’s encouragement. “I’ll do my best, Professor Lawrence. I won’t bring shame to Jubilife University!”

“Very well,” Charlie replied, nodding his approval. “Now, let’s all head to the competition venue.”

Just as Yvette was about to sneak out, Charlie caught her red–handed. “Yvette, Mr. Rusell told me to definitely bring you along!”
