Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 345

Jasper was feeling the full brunt of true disappointment at that moment.

He held his chest and asked in confusion, “Why is my brother suddenly so nice to them? Why is he going out of his way to please them?”

Normally, they would be the ones to curry favor with Wilson. But for some reason, the roles had now

reversed.

Furthermore, Ashton and Sean didn’t appreciate the gesture, even coldly rejecting Wilson’s efforts.

Jasper found it very strange. After all, Ashton and Sean used to fear Wilson as much as he did. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Samuel said, “Mr. Jasper, this will happen more often from now on. You need to get used to it…”

It would be hard for Wilson to get close to Yvette if he couldn’t win over her brother’s favor, after all.

Seeing Sean and Ashton walk away without waiting for him, Jasper didn’t probe Samuel further. Instead, he hurried after them. “Hey, wait for me!”

“What’s wrong with you two? Why are you being so cold to me today? Aren’t we friends?” Jasper voiced his displeasure after catching up with them.

Seeing Jasper’s face, which looked eerily similar to Wilson’s, Sean and Ashton grew irritated.

“Stay away from us! We don’t want to see you!”

Jasper was dumbfounded by this reaction. He wondered if they had discovered his sneaky plan to pursue

Yvette.

Feeling diffident, Jasper remained quiet. Sean and Ashton, on the other hand, couldn’t be bothered by him/ and thus failed to notice his unease.

After walking a distance away, Ashton said, “Sean, I’ll go find Yvie first.”

Sean nodded and replied, “Alright, I’ll join you after I feed Ginger.” They were determined not to give Wilson the chance to approach Yvette.

As Sean turned the corner, he unexpectedly ran into Victoria.

“Hey, we meet again!” Victoria’s eyes sparkled with excitement. With a smile, she playfully winked at him. I brought catnip this time. Ginger shouldn’t scratch me now, right?”

Her cheerful smile somewhat eased Sean’s earlier irritation. “I’m sure it’ll like you a lot now.”

“That’s great!” Victoria smiled happily, but she stiffened as soon as they reached the garden.

The usually lively Ginger lay motionless on the ground. It had been brutally killed. Its body was gruesomely opened with its internal organs spilling out. This was clearly a result of deliberate cruelty.

“How… How could this happen?”

Victoria’s face turned deathly pale. Her clear doe–like eyes welled up with tears.

“Don’t look…” Sean struggled to keep his composure while covering Victoria’s eyes. He couldn’t bear to see the horrific state of Ginger.

He spoke through gritted teeth, “I’ll find out who did this and make sure they pay!”

“Yvie, you really made us proud today. Those arrogant Yeel University kids always looked down on us because of their international reputation. Today, you put them in their place! Let’s see if they still act so superior around us.”

Nancy excitedly chattered away while clinging to Yvette’s arm. However, she immediately fell silent when she saw a distinguished man from afar.

“Wilson Quinn? What is he doing at Jubilife University

Before Nancy could finish expressing her surprise, the imposing Wilson strode toward them. His charmingly devilish face softened as he took Yvette’s beg, and he casually held her hand.
