Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

The following day, Yvette stepped out of school and immediately spotted lan and Sean waiting for her at the entrance.

lan's expression was icy, clearly indicating he was in a foul mood. But as soon as he saw Yvette,

his demeanor softened, and he reached out to take her backpack.

"Yvie, you must be exhausted after a full day of classes. Why don't you skip going to the Jubilifenoveldrama

Research Institute today? I'll take you home to rest he offered.

Yvette shook her head and replied, "I'm not tired. I need to go to Yenosha for a competition soon, and I'm worried you'll be too busy when I'm away. I invited a friend to help you out, and I want to introduce you two today."

lan replied warmly, "Okay. I'll do as you say."

With such a talented sister, her friends had to be impressive too. Having an extra pair of hands would definitely make things easier for lan.

"Wait here for a moment while I go get the car," lan instructed.

Yvette nodded obediently and watched him walk away before turning to Sean. "Why does it seem like he's not very happy today?"

Sean burst into laughter. "He's probably still mad about last night! You wouldn't believe it. When he went to the bar looking for you, some girl groped him!

"And that same girl flirted with him and ended up throwing up all over him! lan has severe OCD. If it had been a guy, he would've definitely thrown a punch. You should've seen his face. It was practically green with rage. And then you got whisked away by Wilson while he was dealing with that mess."

lan returned from parking the car and overheard Sean's teasing at that moment. He immediately interrupted with a stern voice, "Sean, shut it!"

Sean leaned closer to Yvette, whispering conspiratorially, "You have no idea! That girl even complimented his backside. She said it was nice and firm!"

"Sean, are you asking for trouble?" lan shot him a warning glare.

He didn't want to relive what happened last night and certainly didn't want Yvette to know about it. The experience was far too embarrassing!

Hearing this, Sean immediately kept quiet.

lan had been groped and then thrown up on. Yvette could already imagine the psychological toll it had taken on lan, and she felt a pang of sympathy for him. Chapterent

"Are you ever going to step foot in a bar again?" Sean couldn't help but tease again.

"Say one more word about last night, and you'll regret it!"

Thinking back to the events of the previous evening, lan pressed his lips together tightly, his face darkening with annoyance. He hoped he would never have to see that woman again!

"I won't say anything else. Come on, Yvette. Get in the car!" Sean suppressed a laugh as he opened the door for Yvette. But just as he was about to climb in after her, the door suddenly slammed shut. "Wait. What?"

lan remained unfazed as he started the engine, leaving Sean flustered. "Hey! I'm not in the car yet!" "Walk home," lan replied coolly, casting Sean a sidelong glance before flooring the gas pedal. The car shot forward, leaving Sean choking on exhaust fumes.

"Seriously?" Sean exclaimed in disbelief, wiping his face in frustration.
