Chapter 35
Rose with Thorns
Chapter 35 âBoss, weâve cracked it. Lyndaâs family suddenly moved to Jubilife City from the countryside because theyâve come into some money,â Jakeâs voice crackled through the earpiece as Yvette listened quietly.
âTurns out your biological parents had slipped them the money to thank them for raising you all these years.â
Before Yvette could respond, Jakeâs tone grew angrier.
âYour parents gave them the money, not knowing how they actually treated you! Itâs infuriating! Lyndaâs family doesnât deserve it at all. Boss, Iâll make sure they return to being poor and miserable!â
âThereâs no rush,â Yvette said, her voice steady. âLet them rise higher. The fall will hurt much more that way.â
âGot it, Boss,â Jake replied. âBy the way, the Quinn family just screwed up our plans by paying off $7 million dollars for Yasmin.
Now that Yasminâs insufferably smug, itâs hard not to beat her up!!
âThe Quinn family?â Yvette pursed her lips, her expression icy. She made a mental note, then instructed, âFrom now on, double the price of any herb order from the Quinn family.â
That was the consequence of helping Yasmin.
Yvette exited the lounge after ending the call. Her demeanor was icy and indifferent. She had only taken a few steps when someone suddenly blocked her path.
Already irritated, Yvette glanced up with a cold stare. Her striking eyes were sharp with annoyance.
Collin was startled by her glare and instinctively retreated several steps. âWoah. Yvette, donât look at me like that. Itâs scary.
Last night, Yvette had the same look in her eyes when she got drunk and kicked him away ay with one blow.
Hearing this, Yvette finally remembered him and gave him a polite nod Collin, always friendly, didnât mind her indifferent attitude and began chatting with her. âYvette, as soon as I saw you, I messaged Wilson. Do you want to bet? I bet heâll be here in five minutes-
Before Collin could even finish, they saw Wilson approaching.
Collinâs grin widened mischievously. âLook at that! It hasnât even been five minutes, and Wilsonâs already here. Someoneâs really nervous that youâll be snatched away....
Collin stopped teasing as soon as Wilsonâs warning gaze landed on him.
âNice to see you again,â Wilson said. Unlike his earlier cold demeanor, Wilson now wore a lazy and charming smile that was inexplicable seductive.
Yvette nodded at him. âMen.â
Nothing her low spirits, Wilson gently ruffled her hair. His deep, magnetic voice softened as he asked, âWhatâs wrong? Did anyone upset you? S~á´aÊá´h the (F)indNÆvá´l.É´et website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Yvette ignored his question. She extended her hand with her beautiful, foxâlike eyes fixed on him. âWhereâs my charm?â
Wilsonâs smile faltered briefly. Then, he met her gaze with those captivating eyes. âI forgot to bring it with me. Iâll have it ready for you next time, I promise.â
Samuel, who stood nearby, couldnât help but silently scott Wilson always carried that charm with him. Now he claimed to have forgotten?
He secretly looked at Wilson with accusing eyes. Doesnât his conscience ache to lie to such a pure and innocent girl?
âAlright then.â Yvette nodded, not pressing further.
By then, Collin caught another waming glance from Wilson and quickly apologized.
