Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Irwin was out of the city, so he didn't know what had happened back home. He frowned as he listened to Alex's lamenting.

"Dad, Yara has always treated you with utmost respect. There's no way she would do the things

you're accusing her of!"

Alex scoffed heavily in response. "She was indeed respectful toward me in the past, but now that Yvette has returned to our family, it's as if she's become a different person!"

He gritted his teeth at the thought of Yvette. "Just look at what a mess the family has become

ever since you brought Yvette back! There's not a single day of peace to be had!"

Irwin was furious at his words. He couldn't help saying, "Dad, I'd say the one causing the mess is you!"

Alex became even angrier when he realized that even Irwin was taking Yvette's side without

hesitation. "Alright, I see how it is. Each and every one of you is siding with that brat. Are you all

trying to make me die of anger?"

Irwin was both angry and puzzled.

"Dad, Yvie is your granddaughter, too. Have you ever thought about how she would feel, hearing you call her brat all the time? Yvie is outstanding in many aspects. Why can't you just can't accept her, Dad?"

Alex immediately seized the chance to state his terms. "If you want me to acknowledge that brat then fine, but only under the condition that you get Yasmin back from the psychiatric hospital!"\

Irwin's face darkened at his words. He turned down Alex's request, both angry and disappointed. Bringing Yasmin back is out of the question! Dad, have you forgotten everything she did before?" Alex was unconcerned. "It's true that Yasmin did some wrong things, but she knows she made

mistakes. Give her another chance!

"Furthermore, Yasmin is Erwin's only remaining descendant! Can you really bear to leave her to

stay in the psychiatric hospital?"

Irwin was only more disappointed in his father. "Since I was young, you've always been biased toward Erwin. I'm willing to forget that, but even now, when Yasmin has done something so unforgivable, you're still trying to force me to take her back!

"Yara and Yvie would never agree to it. Are you trying to force me into a fight with my wife and

child?"

"Yara comes from an ordinary background, while you're the wealthiest man in Jubilife right now, Irwin. She's not worthy of you.

"This is the perfect ctrance for you to divorce her and marry a woman who matches you in social

standing-"

"Just shut up, Dad. Enough about this." Irwin cut Alex off irritably without waiting for him to

finish.

He added, "I only plan to have one wife in my life, and I'm absolutely not divorcing her! Also, if you're not willing to accept Yvie from now on, then you should just return to the nursing home!" Upon hearing these words, Alex almost fainted from anger.

They were all rebelling against him! The moment that brat Yvette returned, his entire family stopped listening to him!

The next day, Yvette entered the classroom just as the bell rang. She handed Madison a stack of Ashton's personal autographs.noveldrama

"These are the autographed photos of Ashton that I promised to get you guys before. Go ahead and share them with everyone." Ashton had worked overnight to sign all these autographs, to the point that his hand had cramped up, before sending them over. "I didn't think you still remembered about that, Yvie!" Madison smiled, feeling warm inside.

Yvette brushed the hair from her forehead before smoothly pinching her round face. "Of course, I have to keep my promise to you guys.

"

Madison's heart thumped in her chest at Yvette's gentle motions and seeing her beautiful face up

close.

Ahhh, she was no longer straight! How she wanted to snatch Yvette away from Wilson!

As if recalling something, Yvette added slowly, "Oh right, remember to leave a few photos for Professor Lawrence." "Yes, of course! I've got it, Yvie!" Madison nodded her head mechanically. "I guarantee I'll accomplish this mission!" Yvette smiled at her silly yet cute antics, lightly tapping her on the forehead with a finger.
