Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns



Just as Lionel finished speaking, a man's incredibly imposing voice rang out coldly.

"Is this how you speak to my fiancée?"

Wilson stood behind Yvette, his captivating eyes narrowed. The rage emitting from him was frightening.

Lionel's expression suddenly changed upon seeing Wilson.

"Mr. Quinn," he immediately greeted respectfully. Under pressure from Wilson, he then reluctantly greeted Yvette as well. "Greetings, Ms. Murray..." Yvette noticed the shift in his expression. She clicked her tongue lightly. He was certainly very

hostile toward her!

She had never paid attention to him before, so she naturally hadn't noticed that he held such great hostility toward her.

"Yvie, Wilson, why are you two here?" Victoria looked toward them in confusion, her voice cutting through the heavy atmosphere.

"Alice put poison in the school's water dispenser today, poisoning more than thirty students. and almost causing them to lose their lives," Yvette said coldly.

"What? Why did Alice do something like that!" Victoria exclaimed, frowning sadly.

Yvette's frosty gaze landed on Lionel. She spoke up slowly, observing his every move. "She's been arrested by the police. She claimed that you gave her the poison and that you, Lionel, were the one who instructed her to do so."

“Nonsense!" Lionel denied immediately, his face contorting in anger. "How could I possibly have instructed her to do something like that!”

"But she identified you as the culprit who gave her the poison."This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mr. Quinn, I'm being wronged! I've been recovering in the hospital the entire time. Not even once have I left this place! In fact, I've never even met this Alice! Someone must be trying to

slander me!"

Lionel placed heavy emphasis when he said "someone". He even kept sneaking glances at

Yvette.

"That's right, Wilson. Lionel's badly hurt. He's never left the hospital!" said Victoria. She bit her lip, looking lost. "Although I don't know why Alice would point her finger at Lionel, I believe that he definitely didn't do it!"

Lionel also added, "Mr. Quinn, if you don't believe me, you can take a look at the security camera footage. I never left the hospital throughout my stay here."

Wilson was unmoved by their words. He turned to look at Yvette.

He would only listen to her. Everything would proceed according to her wishes.

Upon seeing this, Lionel's expression darkened further. He gritted his teeth resentfully, his dissatisfaction and hostility toward Yvette increasing.

In such a short time, she had made Wilson fall head over heels for her and listen to her every word. How cunning!

Yvette tapped her fingers on her lip in thought. She had already hacked into the hospital's security system and looked at the footage before coming to the hospital.

It was indeed as Lionel had claimed-he hadn't left the hospital throughout his stay.

But Alice hadn't seemed like she was lying...

"Wilson, Ms. Yvette, we've retrieved Ms. Robertson's phone. There are indeed two unknown numbers listed in her recent call logs. The timings match Mr. Robertson's account of when she was contacted." Samuel strode into the ward. He presented the phone to Yvette respectfully.

"Impossible!" Lionel denied aloud, voice cracking. His face was red with anger. "I've never contacted Ms. Robertson, and that phone number isn't even mine! I'm being framed!"

“Whether you've been framed or not, we'll know soon enough."

Yvette took the phone from Samuel. Her slender fingers flew nimbly across the screen, tapping away.

Surprise flashed across Lionel's eyes as he watched her. To think that Yvette even knew how to hack!

He had really underestimated her. So she wasn't just a pretty face...
