Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 494

Wilson raised his eyebrow ever so slightly. He clearly hadn’t expected that.

Yvette also blinked in surprise. Then, she took Wilson’s hand and smiled at Jacob. “Thank you,

Jacob.”

Jacob’s gaze immediately softened when he looked at her. “There’s no need to be so courteous

with me,

Yvie.” But the moment he fixed his eyes on Wilson, his expression hardened once

more.

“You only have my approval for the time being. If you dare do anything to harm Yvie, I swear

I’ll never let

you off!”

It went without saying that he still didn’t like the looks of this old lecher. But what could he do? His precious sister adored the man!

“Set your heart at ease and trust Yvie with me, Jacob.” Holding Yvette’s hand in his and interlocking their fingers, Wilson earnestly assured Jacob with a gentle look.

Jacob only scoffed. However, he did not pull them apart.

“Wilson! You’re here!” Yara came out and warmly greeted Wilson the moment she saw him, completely ignoring Jacob, who was standing by the side.

Jacob shot Wilson another displeased look. How had the old lecher managed to charm not only

vette but even Yara too?

“Hey, Wilson! There you are!” Irwin came over and proceeded to drag Wilson to the study. Come on! Let’s play another round of chess!”

He had been waiting for his chance to win against Wilson after being defeated the last time

they played.

“Tsk! Didn’t he dislike Wilson before? Now he’s fighting for him!” Yara murmured to herself. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

It was only then that she remembered about Jacob and instantly asked, “Jacob, who was the young lady who attended the banquet with you last night? When are you bringing her home to meet me?”

Yara trusted in his taste. She knew that he must have his eyes set on a nice young lady, and she

couldn’t wait to meet her.

“Oh, right, how old is she?”

Finding it difficult to answer her question, Jacob massaged his temples. Back then, he had so confidently declared that he’d never be a shameless lecher like Wilson. But that was exactly

what he was now!

“You’ll find out when I bring her home, Mom.”

Yara broke out in a joyful smile when she heard that. “Sure! You’d better bring her home soon!

He wished he could bring her home soon too.

Jacob sighed inwardly. He pulled out his phone and looked at the message he sent Nancy. She hadn’t replied to him yet. He had the greatest urge to send her another message.

But at the thought of Wilson’s words, he held back the urge to do so. He had to let her reach out to him first. He could not be the first one to break the silence.

“Good morning, Yvie!”

The moment she stepped into the classroom, Yvette’s classmates surrounded her enthusiastically.

“I’ve got good news for you, Yvie! The Robertsons have gone bankrupt!”

“They deserved it! We’ll see what Alice has got to be arrogant about in the future!”

“Exactly! Let’s see if she’s still able to bully others as she wishes just because of her family background!”

Yvette was aware of the piece of news. Though the Quinn family had invested in them, the Robertsons had both the Murray family and KW Corporation working against them. It was only a matter of time before they went under.

“Yvie, I brought breakfast especially for you! I even got you your favorite milk!”
