Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

"Damn!" Collin exclaimed as if he had discovered something new. "Wilson, you're actually not jealous?"

In the past, whenever Wilson saw Xavier near Yvette, he treated it like a major crisis. If looks

could kill, Xavier would've been dead hundreds of times by now!

"Why should I be jealous?" Wilson's attractive and sensual thin lips curled into a smile, and

even the corners of his eyes were filled with amusement.

His tone was full of pride as he said, "Yvie said she only likes me."

Collin was speechless. It was just a little sweet talk, but look how pleased and smug Wilson

was!

"Wilson, that was just a small trick Yvette used to placate you, don't take it too seriously -

He wanted to say more, but Wilson's sharp gaze immediately made him swallow the rest of his

words.

"Do you have a death wish?" Wilson asked.

Collin trembled with fear and quickly admitted his mistake. “Wilson, I'm sorry; I was wrong! I'll leave right now, don't be angry!"

At that moment, Yvette walked in with Xavier.

Upon seeing Yvette, Wilson's cold expression immediately softened.

"Yvette, I'll take my leave now. I'll visit again later," Collin said before quickly leaving.

Seeing how fast Collin ran off, Yvette frowned in confusion before saying, "Xavier is here to visit you.'

Xavier wore a smile, but deep in his eyes, there was no warmth-only coldness. "Thank you for risking your life to protect Yvie."

Hmph, did Xavier really need to thank him for protecting Yvette?

Wilson's handsome face instantly turned icy, his deep magnetic voice dripping with coldness."

It's r

my duty to protect my fiancée. There's no need for you to thank me on her behalf. As vice president, you should know your place!"

He deliberately emphasized the fact that Yvette was his fiancée. Xavier's hands clenched tightly at his sides, his hostility growing even stronger.

The atmosphere in the hospital room instantly became tense.

Wilson purposefully took Yvette's hand and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head

to plant a kiss on her forehead.noveldrama

"Baby, you were gone for so long. I missed you...

Yvette, who was usually shy and disliked public displays of affection, surprisingly didn't push Wilson away this time.

Xavier had indeed crossed a line today. Wilson had a reason to be upset....

Seeing that Yvette didn't resist Wilson's intimate gesture at all, Xavier couldn't bear to stay

any longer. He abruptly stood up, suppressing the surge of emotions in his heart. "Yvie, I have

matters to attend to. I'll leave first."

Before Yvette could respond, Wilson ordered, "Samuel, see Mr. Phillip out."

Samuel immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Quinn!"

"No need," Xavier said coldly and turned to leave.

Once he walked out of the hospital room, his expression immediately turned icy, and a menacing coldness radiated from him.

Thinking back to the intimate moment he had just witnessed, he felt as if a knife had been thrust into his heart, causing a sharp pain.

Yvette didn't resist Wilson's touch at all. Her feelings for Wilson ran deeper than he had imagined!

Unwilling to accept this, Xavier clenched his fists tightly, his eyes darkening further.

Yvette thought highly of Theodore's opinion. If he disapproved of this relationship, perhaps she wouldn't stay with Wilson.
