Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 401

Tyson’s face twisted into a sinister grin as he imagined the dagger plunging into Yvette’s body.

“Oh, you’re courting death.” Yvette’s words were cold, laced with a deadly threat.

Her next movements were so fast they were a blur, and by the time the crowd realized what had happened, the dagger was already in her hand.

“H–How did she do that?” The audience was once again stunned, shivering in disbelief.

Tyson was equally shocked, his crazed grin frozen in place. When his eyes met Yvette’s murderous gaze, fear gripped him, and he immediately begged for mercy

“I’m sorry. Please, spare me…”

“Too late.” With that, Yvette flicked the dagger from her hand. It flew straight into Tyson’s hand, embedding itself deep.

If Yvette hadn’t been quick and prepared, she could’ve been killed by this very dagger. But Yvette wasn’t one to let things slide–she had to make sure Tyson paid for what he tried to do.

Tyson’s agonized scream echoed through the underground boxing ring, making the onlookers sigh in pity.

“His tendons are severed. He’s a cripple now,” someone said.

“Mr. Scott is here!”

Jared’s face turned smug as if he’d just seen his savior. He rushed toward Richard and said, “Dad, you came just in time! This bitch just crippled the King of the Ring. You’ve got to teach her a

lesson!”

Tyson was known for his viciousness. Each of his fights was brutal and ruthless. His savage style attracted wealthy thrill–seekers, bringing significant profits to the underground boxing ring.

Now that Tyson was crippled, the losses would be enormous. If Jared couldn’t handle Yvette, surely Richard could.

“Dad, that bitch came to our turf and wrecked the place. We need to teach her

a lesson–Ah!”

Jared’s rant was abruptly cut off by a sharp slap across his face, making his head buzz.

“Shut your mouth, dumbass!”

Jared had never been hit by Richard before, nor had he heard him speak in such a harsh tone.

“Dad, what are you doing? Why did you hit me? She’s the one who came to our boxing ring and caused

trouble-”

“Shut up!” Richard yelled once more, cutting him off with a murderous glare. “Don’t forget what I warned you about–never cross anyone with a golden invitation letter.”

Jared scoffed, dismissing Richard’s concern. “How could a girl like her possibly have one of those invitations? She must’ve stolen it. Dad, we don’t have to be afraid of a little brat.”

“Why did I raise such an idiot?” Richard was so furious that he raised his hand to strike Jared again. But when he met Yvette’s icy gaze, his legs went weak, and he dropped to his knees before her, his tone

utterly servile.

“Please don’t be angry. It’s all my worthless son’s fault. I promise I’ll punish him severely.”

The onlookers were stunned, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

“Why is Richard kneeling to her?”

“Yeah, Isn’t Richard the kingpin of the underground world? Yet he’s kneeling before a young woman? This Is unbelievable!”

But no matter how shocked the crowd was, Richard remained respectfully on his knees. “As soon as i heard someone with a golden invitation had arrived, I rushed over immediately. I never imagined it would be you. You should have informed me sooner–I would have been here to welcome you.”

settle our score later. For now, keep your mouths shut, and don’t reveal my identity in front of them.”

“Of course! Master Xev, I swear, I won’t say a word.” Richard nodded frantically,

By the time he finished speaking, Wilson had already reached Yvette. The sight of blood on her hands made his already striking features darken with an ominous fury.

“Don’t worry. It’s not my blood,” Yvette quickly assured him.

Wilson’s expression softened slightly at her words, and he pulled out a handkerchief, carefully wiping her hands clean.

Yvette felt a warm flutter in her chest, but her thoughts were still on Madison, who was unconscious. Noticing her concern, Wilson turned to Samuel and ordered, “Take her to the car and get her to the hospital.”

“Yes, Mr. Quinn,” Samuel responded respectfully

Seeing this, Richard’s face twisted in confusion. “Why is Mr. Quinn being so gentle with her?”

Collin said eagerly, “Let me fill you in–she’s Collin’s fiancée.”

The moment those words registered, Richard’s legs weakened and he could barely keep himself upright.

Still, Collin wasn’t finished. With a mischievous grin, he added, “Oh, and by the way, she’s also Jacob’s precious sister.”

Richard’s knees buckled and he nearly fainted. He was utterly doomed.

Master Xev had many other identities, and Richard couldn’t afford to offend any of them.

A quick 15 minutes later, the car came to a smooth stop at the hospital.

Wilson, fully aware of how worried Yvette was about Madison, had already taken care of everything. As soon as they arrived, Madison was rushed into the emergency room.

Thankfully, Yvette had arrived just in time; Madison’s injuries were only superficial, with no threat to her

life.

“Jacob.” The call connected immediately when Yvette dialed for Jacob.

“Yvie, what’s the matter? Why are you calling me?” he asked in surprise. This was the first time his precious sister had ever called him.

Yvette didn’t bother with small talk. “Jacob, I want you to withdraw your investment in the Robertson family.”

She had just confirmed that the Murray family was the Robertson family’s largest investor. If they pulled out, the Roberstons would be in immediate financial trouble.

Without any hesitation or questions, Jacob agreed. “Alright, Yvie. I’ll take care of it right away.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Yvette’s lips curved into a slight smile. “Thank you, Jacob.”

On the other end of the line, Jacob replied gleefully, “There’s no need to thank me.”

Madison, who had been lying in the hospital bed, had woken up at some point. After seeing that Yvette’s phone conversation had ended, she softly called out, “Yvie…”

Noticing Madison’s weak state, the coldness in Yvette’s eyes deepened. She had already pieced everything together. Most of Madison’s injuries were inflicted by Alice, who then had her thrown into the underground boxing ring.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure they pay for what they did. Pulling out the investment is just the start. Focus on recovering. Once you’re better, I’ll let you take your revenge,” Yvette said gently.

Tears welled up in Madison’s eyes as she uttered, “Thank you, Yvie.”

Alice was busy unwinding in a beauty salon, maintaining the poised demeanor of a lady from high society -but her mind was swirling with vicious thoughts.

She was absolutely glowing at the thought of Madison suffering a fate worse than death in the underground boxing ring. That was her punishment for crossing Alice.

The next person Alice was going to punish was Yvette. She had humiliated her too many times.

Alice was determined to make Yvette pay–more severely than Madison.

Before she could finalize her plans against Yvette, however, her mother burst into the salon in a panic and grabbed her arm.

“Alice, hurry! We need to get to the Murray family.”

Startled, Alice asked, “Mom, what’s wrong? Why do we need to go to the Murray family?”

“Don’t even ask! The Murray family suddenly pulled their Investment from our company, and now the Robertson family’s business is in serious trouble.

“We have to go to the Murray family‘ and beg them to reconsider. You need to come with us. I’ve heard Ms. Murray is about your age and very well–loved. You have to get close to her, so she’ll speak up for us!”

Understanding the urgency, Alice quickly nodded. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll make sure to get on the good side of Ms. Murray.”

No matter what it took, Alice would find a way to win the favored Murray daughter over.
