Chapter 47
Rose with Thorns
Chapter 47 The manager couldnât help but quiver under Collinâs intense gaze. Then, he cautiously spoke up, âOf course... Of course, weâll kick out the troublemakers downstairs..â
âNo!â Collin rubbed his temples in frustration. Yvette was Wilsonâs cherished sweetheart. Wilson would have his head if she were thrown out!
âRemember her face. No matter what, donât you dare lay hands on herâeven if she razes this place to the ground someday!â
âYes, yes, got it, Mr. Steele, I remember her now...
The manager hurriedly agreed as he saw Collinâs grave expression. However, he was also bewildered by Yvetteâs significance.
What made her worthy of Collinâs protection?
âOuch... You bitch, how dare you do this to me! Iâm the heir of the Zeigler family, the Zeiglers wonât let you off-
Before he could finish his threat, Yvette landed another kick. With her head lowered, her voice dripped with defiance as she challenged, Wonât let me off? Iâll be waiting to see you try.â
Heâd used such despicable tactics on countless girls. Even if he was killed, it would only mean that justice was served!
âYvieâ
Hearing the familiar voice behind her, Yvette pulled back her foot and turned to Wilson. Blinking innocently, she appeared harmlessâa stark contrast to her earlier ferocity.
âI was waiting for you. Heâs the one who started it.â sá´aÊá´h thá´ FɪndNøvel.É´á´t website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Seeing Yvetteâs eamest explanation, Wilsonâs hardened demeanor softened. Why was she so lovely?â
âAre you hurt?â Wilson strode over and inspected her carefully.
Yvette shook her head. âNo.â How could she be hurt dealing with a scumbag like him?
After confirming she was unharmed, Wilsonâs tense expression eased slightly. Then, he turned to Samuel and ordered, âGot him out of here and deal with him.â
Samuel nodded. âYes, Mr. Quinn.â
Wilson caught a whiff of alcohol on Yvette, and he gently rubbed her head. âDid you drink?â
With the alcoholâs effects, Yvette felt dizzy. Instinctively, she rubbed her head against Wilsonâs palm and murmured softly, âJust a little.â
Wilson found her obedient demeanor adorable. His eyes were tender as he asked gently, âWhy were you drinking?â
âI was unhappy.â Yvette pursed her lips, her voice subdued.
âDid someone bully you, hmm?â Wilsonâs gaze sottened as he coaxed her gently.
Wilson supported her and continued, âTell me who it was. Iâll take care of it.â
Yvetteâs heart warmed at his protective tone. She became increasingly muddleâheaded, and she extended her arms to seek solace. She whispered, âHug me â
Before Wilson could respond, Yvette had already thrown herself into his arms. She then wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
Wilson chuckled softly, then reached out to embrace her.
His deep and magnetic voice was uncharacteristically gentle. âAlright. Iâve got you, Yvieâ
Jake, who just retumed from the bathroom, was taken aback by the commotion. It didnât take long for him to connect the dots, and he quickly charged toward Wilson âHoly crap, who the hell are you? Let go of my boss right now!â
Heâd only stepped away for a quick bathroom break, and now someone was making a move on Yvette. He had to cut this guyâs hand off!
But before lake could reach Wilson, he was blocked by a group of blackâclad bodyguards.
