Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 412

The next day, as Yvette walked into the classroom, Alice immediately approached her.

“Yvette, I brought you breakfast. Would you like to try it?”

The slap mark that Molly had left still lingered on Alice’s face. Despite the thick layer of concealer she had applied, it was clear something was off.

With a cautious and overly flattering expression, she continued, “Yvette, I was wrong yesterday. I sincerely want to earn your forgiveness. I even stood in line to buy this myself. Please, give it a try!”

“Get lost.” Yvette didn’t even glance her way, her voice icy and detached.

“Anything that belongs to you is disgusting,” she added.

“Yvette, you-” Alice’s face turned pale with anger. She had lowered herself to please Yvette, yet she was still humiliated in front of everyone.

“And the person you should apologize to is Madison. I will take revenge for what you did to her,” Yvette hissed.

Alice’s expression darkened further, her resentment bubbling.

So what if she had beaten Madison and thrown her into the underground boxing ring? She hadn’t killed her, so why was Yvette so fixated on this incident?

Alice couldn’t understand why Yvette would go out of her way to help someone like Madison, who was just a poor girl from an ordinary family.

“Move aside! Don’t block Yvie’s path.”

Noticing the annoyance etched on Yvette’s face, her classmates quickly stepped in to push Alice aside.

Given Alice’s previous harsh attitude, the class had developed a strong dislike for her, and they weren’t shy about expressing it.

“Exactly. A good dog wouldn’t block the way. Hurry up and get lost.”

“Right! Don’t bother Yvie so early in the morning. Can’t you see she doesn’t want to deal with you?”

Once Alice was pushed aside, everyone turned their attention back to Yvette. Their demeanor was warm and friendly.

“Yvie, what’s up with Alice? She seems like a completely different person today. Bringing you breakfast

and all!”

“Yeah, it’s really strange! Wasn’t she looking down on everyone before?”

“I bet she has ill intentions.”

“Exactly! Don’t let her fool you, Yvie.”

As Alice stood rooted to the ground, rejected by her classmates, her expression grew even darker. She had always relied on her status as the daughter of the Robertson family to bully others and lead the isolation of her peers.

Never had she imagined that she would one day be the one ostracized. It didn’t feel good to be excluded.

With fierce determination, Alice clenched her teeth. As long as Yvette fell from grace, she would surely face a pitiful end!

Alice needed to think of a way to get Victoria and Wilson together. After all, the Robertson family didn’t

have much time left.

“Alice texted me, saying she would come find me later. You wait for her here while I go feed the kittens,” Victoria instructed Lionel.

Lionel nodded, concern evident in his tone. “Alright, Ms. Olson. Just be careful and don’t get scratched again.”

Victoria shook her head and replied, “I won’t. They’re used to me now and won’t scratch me anymore.”

Lionel finally relaxed. He was allergic to cat fur and couldn’t be around her while she was with them. Knowing the kittens wouldn’t hurt her put his mind at ease.
