Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 371

Alice’s face darkened as she listened to what her classmates were saying.

Who would have thought Liam would confess to Yvette? That penniless woman. And Yvette had even rejected him?

Alice scoffed, her contempt for Yvette growing deeper.

With her act of being so above it all, it was no surprise that she had managed to charm everyone in the class.

Outside the classroom, Liam’s handsome features twisted into a look of sincere apology. “I apologize about the situation with Serena.”

Eustace had strict requirements for his apprentices. Although he agreed to take Liam on for Yvette’s sake, he still set a test for him.

Liam had been spending all this time with Eustace in the lab and only now gained his approval. It was only today that he learned about Serena’s shameless actions.

Yvette said, “You don’t need to blame yourself. It has nothing to do with you.”

Liam shuddered, his face contorting in disgust as he recalled Serena’s vile acts. “I bear some responsibility for this, regardless. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have to deal with Serena.”

The fact that Serena was already so wretched was the only reason he let her off!

“By the way, Yvie, Dr. Marx has left Jubilife. I’m leaving this afternoon to go back with him. I came to say goodbye.”

“Is the old man leaving today?” Yvette frowned, slightly displeased. “Why didn’t he tell me?”

Liam smiled at her. “Dr. Marx said he didn’t tell you on purpose because if he saw you, he’d want to drag you back with him.”

Yvette’s luscious red lips curled into a slight smirk as she clicked her tongue. “The old man is so greedy.”

She had already found him an apprentice to carry on his legacy, and he still wanted to drag her back!

Liam, understanding her thoughts, spoke gently. “Dr. Marx has said that you’re a medical prodigy, the best he’s ever seen. He’s offered you his position whenever you’re ready to take over.”

Yvette’s eyes were half–lidded. She spoke with a casual, offhand tone. “I won’t go back and fight you for it.”

She had more important things to do in Jubilife and had no plans to leave for now.

The more Liam got to know her, the more he realized how exceptional she was. She was a person whose brilliance was unforgettable.

Liam couldn’t help but say, “Wilson better be good to you, or I’ll come back and take you from him!”

Before Yvette could respond, Jasper rushed over, carrying bags of snacks. “Don’t even think about it! If you try to steal my brother’s girl, you’re dead meat!”

Yvette frowned when she saw Jasper suddenly appear. “What are you doing here?”

“Of course to send this to you, Yvette!”

Jasper turned to Yvette with a fawning look on his face, a total brown–noser. Last time, when he secretly tried to woo Yvette and got caught, Wilson cut off his allowance. He had been miserable ever since!

Now, he was trying to please Yvette, hoping to get his allowance back! Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

So he spent the last of his money on snacks and treats to please Yvette. But as soon as he walked in, he stumbled upon this sight/

“Yvette, these are all for you! You have to take them!” Jasper eagerly pushed the snacks into her hands.

Her classmates couldn’t hear their conversation; only their actions could be seen. “Wow! Jasper is here too!”
