Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Yvette's cold and elegant voice echoed softly, but it instantly changed the expression on

Lionel's face.

Recalling what Victoria had said earlier, Lionel felt like his heart was being torn apart once again. His hands clenched into tight fists, veins bulging, and he appeared to be in unbearable pain.

"When you're ready to tell the truth, let me know," Yvette said casually, having fully enjoyed the sight of his torment. Then, she turned and left the chamber.

Lionel knelt in the corner, his expression dark and unreadable, leaving one to wonder what he was thinking.

As soon as Yvette stepped out of the chamber, she noticed Xavier standing not far away. She frowned slightly in confusion.

"Xavier, what brings you here?"

"Yvie..." Xavier softly called her name.

He tried hard to conceal the love in his eyes as he spoke gently. "I came to tell

you that I've already successfully transported that batch of shipments back to the Dark Organization, and it was done without alarming Mr. Maximillian."

"Very good." Yvette nodded in satisfaction, finally feeling the weight lift off her shoulders as a smile tugged at her red lips.

After all, she didn't want a certain man to meet Theodore with a bad impression of him

already in place...

Seeing the faint smile on Yvette's face, Xavier's eyes darkened, but he kept his expression neutral and continued speaking softly, "Yvie, are you heading back to the hospital? Let me

take you there."

Thinking of Wilson's uncontrollable jealousy, Yvette refused without hesitation. "No need."

Xavier's heart grew even bitter at her firm refusal, and he lowered his deep black eyes, his voice dropping. "Yvie, you've grown distant from me..."

He knew that Yvette had a soft spot for those close to her, so he purposely said it that way.

Sure enough, in the end, Yvette nodded and agreed. "Alright, sorry to trouble you, Xavier."

A smile appeared on Xavier's handsome face, and his tone became even more gentle. "Yvie,

there's no need to be so formal with me!"

"Wilson, you've really outdone yourself! You announced that the Dark Organization's shipment was destroyed, but in reality, you secretly hid it away!"

Collin's tone was filled with exasperation in the hospital room, clearly never expecting that Wilson would pull such a move!noveldrama

Wilson had never done such things before. He was always straightforward–if he said he would destroy something from a particular organization, he would destroy it without

hesitation. When had he ever been this restrained?

Without even lifting his eyes, Wilson said calmly and leisurely, "If I didn't secretly keep it, what would I do if Yvie got angry?"

It wasn't easy to placate her when she was upset!

Collin went silent.

Wilson was way too afraid of his fiancée! Letting her boss him around like this... He was truly an embarrassment to all men!

As Collin stood up, he happened to glance out the window and saw Yvette walking alongside Xavier, seemingly talking about something. The two of them looked quite close.

"Wilson, isn't that Yvette with Xavier?" he asked.

Upon hearing this, Wilson looked up, his gaze falling on the two walking side by side, but he remained calm.
