Rose with Thorns
Chapter 9 lovin and Yara sumounded Yvette at the Murray Manor. They cupped each side of her cheeks while their voices withered with concem weâve taught thous people a stem lesson for you. We promise never to let you suffer sach injustice again!â
In the end, the store issued a forinal apology to Yvette. They even fired the manager and stall member, kicking those people out of Tubife City Yvette didnât take that all matter to heart and only nodded with a band expression.
Yata continued warmly, âYvic, this is the dress I specially chose for you to wear at the banquet. Iâm sure itâll look amazing on you, our beautiful The ficklent at the mall caused them to lose all interest in dress shopping. So, Yara contacted a dress shop and picked out the banquet dresses âYasmin, this is the dress chose for you!â Yara didnât forget about Yasmin. With tender affection, she motioned the latter to come over. âYou and Wie should play the plane on stage during the banquet. When that happens, all the ladies of high society will envy me for having such outstanding daughters!â
t dress design but Yasminâs expression dulled once she saw a picture of the dress Yara chase. It turned out that Yara had given Yvette the latest dre pave Vasmin a design from last year.
Yasmin felt Yara was utterly biased for doing so âWhatâs wrong, Yasmin? Do you not like this dress? I couldâve sworn youâve always liked this brand, though...â Yara replied.
Yora always had poor health, so she disliked socializing outdoors. She usually preferred gardening and seldom paid attention to things like Lashion. Naturally, she didnât know clothing was categorized by the latest designs and those from previous seasons, She only knew Yasmin Bled this brandâs pieces, so she specially picked out this dress for her.
Despite feeling upset, Yasmin flashed a honeyed smile as she hugged Yaraâs arms. She put on a deliberate affectionate act in front of Yvette. Thank you, Ait Yara! I love it! Weâre so in sync. I was previously eyeing this dress, too!â
She wanted to drill one thing into Yvetteâs mindâthat she was closer to Yars and train, even if Yvette was the coupleâs biological daughter.
Alas, Yvette couldnât be bothered to spare a glance at Yasminâs act. Yvetteâs lack of interest felt like a cold slap to Yasminâs face, making her even more upset.
âIâm happy to hear that!â Yara was pleased with Yasminâs response. She then tomed to speak to Yvette in a gentle tone. âOh, right, Yve Your ith older basher, Sean, is coming home the day alter tomorrow when his Esports toumament enda!â
Yvetteâs delicate brows arched when she heard âEsports competitionâ Then, she nodded. âAlright, I understand.â
Still, Vara went on with the same gentleness âWe, Sean can be foolhardy. If he upsets you in any way when he returns, feel free to tell your dad and me about it. Iâll lecture Sean into behaving for you!â
âThatâs right!â Irwin joined in, nodding fervently. âvie, Iâll make that heat kneel in front of our familyâs memorial hall for forgiveness if he dares to pick on you!â
He refused to let anyone ebully his precious daughter, not even his five sons Yasmin couldnât help rolling her eyes when she heard that. Even the corner of her lips slightly curved into an undetectable sneer.
Sá´aÊá´h thá´ (F)indNÆvá´l.É´et website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Knowing Sean was about to retum, she was determined to brainston a way to make Sean hate Yvette.
Yvette sat on the couch and played mobile games. She maneuvered her inâgame character with her slender fingertips. Her very presence was pleasing to the eye.
Vet, Yasmin immediately glanced at the former with contempt and mentally scoffed. She found Yvette to be an incompetent loser.
After all, wasnât long before the banquet, but Yvette was still in the mood to play mobile games.
Yasmin refused to waste her time like Yvette. Instead, she needed to practice her plano skills. Yasmin wanted to steal the limelight at the banquet and crush Yvette, the bumpkin her family had picked up from the countryside!
Meanwhile, Yvette received a game invite once she was online. She accepted it without much thought. After that, she switched on her inkreptione in the team chat and heard a pleasant, excited male voice.
âRebir, youâre online again! I have some amazing news to tell you I won the Esports National Championship this year! What do you think? Did I make you proud?â Sean Murray exclaimed.
âThatâs pretty gecil, Yvette casually answered. She agreed that winning the national championship was indeed a decent achievement. Seanâs excitement became more noticeable upon receiving Yvettaâs praise. He added, âRebir, I heard youâre in Jubilife City. Iâm going home there the day after tomorrow once the competition and tomorrow once the competition and award ceremony ends. How about we meet after I go home to see my younger sister?
âYouâre kind of my mentor and contributed to my win at the national championships. I genuinely wish to meet and thank you in person!â
Rebar was a legend in the Esports community. She had incredible gaming skills and won many global competitions. However, she disappeared from the community shortly alter those wins.
Sean once overestimated his talents and challenged Rebir to a match when he was young and reckless. Their player vs player duel ended with her beating him to a pulp Since then, he became convinced about Rebirâs abilities. He had the utmost respect for Rebir while also fearing her.
âYounger sister?â Yvette asked, astutely picking up on those keywords. She raised a brow and felt a sense of foreboding. She wondered if Sean could be the fifth older brother she had learned about earlier.
âYeah!â Sean voiced without any careful thought. âWe found my longâlost sister, so my parents keep urging me to go home. Iâm not that eager to meet her, to be honest. Iâm only doing it because my parents insist that I do!â
Although Sean claimed to feel that way, he had already booked the earliest flight back to Jubilife City for the day after tomorrow He continued, âMy mom even insists I prepare a present for her. How annoying! Rebir, since youâre also a woman, what kind of present do you think sheâd like?â
The dots were connecting in Yvetteâs mind. Helplessness flickered in her coptivating, upturned eyes.
Sean didnât notice Yvetteâs odd behavior. Instead, he kept rambling on. âOh, forget it. Thereâs no use in asking you, Rebir.
Piligure it out myself.â
He touched the nearly linedâup gifts on his desk and fell into a conflicted state. He wondered if he should just give all ten of them to his sister âWomen are so troublesome. Iâll act like a tough big brother when I go home. That way, she wonât dare disobey or challenge me She must do everything I say without any objections!â
âDo as he says without any objections?â Yvette wonderod.
She listened in silence as Seen bragged. Once he finished, she stated emotionlessly, âYouâll practice for three more hours todayâ
âWait. What? Why? Seanâs features wrinkled into a pained expression at once. His voice took on a yowl as he complained, âThree extra hours, Robir? Youâre cruel!â
Amidst his suffering, he wondered what he had said wrong. Why did Rebir punish him with extra gaming practice so suddenly?
Wette tib longer said anything to him. She then went offline and exited the game.
That was when she got a WhatsApp notification.
