Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 403

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.”

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.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

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.
