Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Without hesitation, Yvette said to Martha in a gentle tone, "Grandma, I need to step out to take a call.

"Alright!" Martha patted her hand affectionately. Yvie, go ahead if you have something to attend to. Come back to keep me company when you're done!"

Yvette stood up and walked to the balcony, answering the phone.

"Xavier, what can I do for

you?"noveldrama

His stern expression softened as soon as he heard her voice.

"Yvie, bad news! One of our shipments has been seized. If we can't get it back in time, we'll suffer a huge loss!"

Hearing this, Yvette frowned instantly. "Why was this shipment going through Jubilife?"

"I'm sorry, Yvie. It was my oversight."

Listening to Xavier's apologetic voice on the other end, her anger dissipated. She spoke calmly. "It's alright. Leave this to me."

In Jubilife, there was only one person bold enough to confiscate something belonging to the Dark Organization. Yvette's red lips were pressed into a thin line, her anger evident.

She knew he was a bit of a green-eyed monster, so she made a point of telling him that she and Xavier were only friends. She even tried to keep her distance to avoid any misunderstandings. But she never expected him to secretly act against the Dark Organization. He had done it all behind her back!

If word got to Theodore about this, he would have a terrible first impression of Wilson.

Yvette's mood soured, her delicate porcelain face turning cold. She stopped a passing housekeeper and inquired, "Where's Wilson?" Intimidated by her bearing, the housekeeper stammered, "M-Mr. Quinn is in the study..."

"I see. Thank you."

After thanking the housekeeper, Yvette turned and strode toward the study.

The housekeeper watched her go, a chill creeping up her spine as she recalled Yvette's

expression.

She had a terrible feeling that Wilson was in big trouble.

In the study, Collin clicked his tongue disapprovingly. He had rushed over as soon as he got the

news.

"Wilson, you actually seized the Dark Organizations goods, huh?"

"Everyone knows that the mysterious president of the Dark Organization is all about the money. You've withheld a billion-dollar shipment, Wilson. That president will go all out against you!" Hearing this, Wilson let out a cold snort, not taking the matter seriously. That said, the president's obsession with money did somewhat remind him of Yvette.

"Wilson, I don't get it. What's the point of pissing off that insane Dark Organization president?"

Yvette stopped short at the door of the study when she overheard Collin's comment. Her, a lunatic?

That just about did it. She was going to sew that yap right up! As she was about to push the door open, Wilson's deep, magnetic voice rang out, tinged with disdain.

"The president of the Dark Organization is indeed a lunatic. But just because others fear him doesn't mean I do."

Yvette flashed a sly, almost sinister smile, her exquisite eyes taking on a mischievous glint. Even Wilson dared to insult her now!

He was getting way too cocky, so she'd to knock him down a peg or two today.
