Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns



The phone number was not Croedalian. The area code was unknown, and there was no way to trace it.

Yvette's expression became even grimmer. She started looking into any and all information on Lionel, down to all the skeletons in his closet. This number indeed did not belong to him.

Yvette clicked her tongue softly.

Interesting. This mastermind was no run-of-the-mill crook. It seemed he had spun an

elaborate web, then gone to great lengths to lure them all in, only to trap them all in it.

"Ms. Yvette, how is it going?" Samuel couldn't help asking from his position off to the side.

He got along pretty well with Lionel, so naturally, he found it hard to believe that Lionel would betray Wilson's trust by doing such a thing.

The first rule of being a guard was loyalty! Furthermore, Lionel wasn't a fool. He clearly knew how much Wilson cared for Yvette, so how would he dare commit such treason?NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"This phone number is indeed not his," said Yvette.

Hearing this, Victoria sighed in relief. She rested a hand on her chest. "I knew you wouldn't do, something like this, Lionel!"

Her parents had passed away early. Lionel was the person who had been with her the longest. She'd long thought of him as family to her.

Thank goodness it wasn't him. She wouldn't have been able to accept if he had actually done something so wicked!

Samuel also relaxed. He was happy to have helped clear Lionel's name.

At the same time, he couldn't help but add, "But Ms. Yvette, we've now confirmed that the number doesn't belong to Lionel, and there's evidence proving he never left the hospital. In that case, Ms. Robertson must have been lying!"

Yvette was absolutely certain that Alice hadn't been lying. However, she kept that thought to herself and simply pursed her lips instead.

"We'll take the investigation slowly. Our priority now is to develop an antidote for Madison and the rest," she said calmly.

Wilson understood the meaning behind Yvette's words. She wanted to keep the investigation under wraps to avoid alerting the people involved. Only by waiting for the culprits to let down their guard would they be able to catch them all in one fell swoop. She was so smart... Chapter 546

"We'll do as you say, Yvie," Wilson immediately said in agreement. His gentle gaze fell dotingly upon her.

"I need to head to the laboratory to start analyzing the poison," said Yvette.

Wilson automatically reached out to hold her hand. "I'll escort you to the laboratory, baby," he said, his tone gentle and affectionate. Yvette even practiced medicine...

Lionel was even more surprised. He gazed after her, feeling complicated.

"Yvie really is amazing! No wonder everyone likes her!"! Victoria couldn't help but exclaim. She sounded a little down.

"I'm really envious of her. She's exactly the kind of person I want to become! Sadly, my health is poor and I still get sick from time to time, so I can't do anything properly!"

"Ms. Olson, you're also an outstanding person. There's no need for you to be envious of others," Lionel said, instinctively comforting her.

In his mind, Victoria was the kindest, most perfect lady in the world. Nobody else could ever compare to her!

"Lionel, thank you for comforting me!" A pure smile bloomed on Victoria's face once more.

She continued, "I've already come to terms with it though. I may not be able to become someone as amazing as Yvie, but with all of you by my side, I'm never alone. I'm already happy with just that!"

Lionel was completely infatuated with her smile.

"Ms. Olsen, I'll always remain by your side," he thought to himself.

He'd also definitely get rid of the eyesores who'd stolen the things that were supposed to be hers!
