Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

"Yvie, do you really want to call off the engagement with Wilson?"

Seeing Yvette walk away, Victoria quickly suppressed her inner joy and caught up with her. Her face still wore a concerned expression.

"If you just agree like this, you will definitely regret it later. Yvie, you can't act impulsively!"

Yvette stopped in her tracks and coldly fixed her gaze on her, her voice indifferent. "He's just a man. Why should I regret it? Whatever the Quinn family has, the Murray family has too."

She added, "Don't forget, the Murray family is the richest in Jubilife! Why should I suffer in the Quinn family?"

Yvette's tone was bold and confident.

On the surface, Victoria maintained her worried expression, but in her heart, she was delighted.

Yvette was such a fool. The Murray family might be the richest in Jubilife, but in reality, the whole capital answers to Wilson!

Not to mention, Wilson had an even greater background, which Victoria hadn't fully investigated yet. Even so, she knew his power was not to be underestimated.

And now, the foolish Yvette had agreed to call off the engagement so easily.

Watching her leave, Victoria's heart was pleased, but she still pretended to speak with concern as she turned toward Wilson. "Yvie definitely said that in the heat of the moment, Wilson. Don't take her words seriously!"

Recalling the look Yvette had given him, Wilson's eyes darkened even further. He ignored Victoria and instead turned his gaze to Martha, his voice chilling. "Grandma, are you satisfied now?"

This was the first time Wilson had spoken to Martha with such a tone.

Victoria's doubts eased a little, and a smile involuntarily crept up on her lips.

Wilson was someone with a huge ego. How could Yvette dare to treat him like that? Their relationship was over!

This was great!

"Contact the media and announce I've broken off my engagement to Wilson."

Upon hearing this, Samuel's expression immediately changed, and he exclaimed in panic, "Ms. Yvette, are you serious?"

Yvette was amused by his shocked expression. She said lazily, "Of course Grandma opposes this marriage so much. To let her properly recover, the engagement

will be called off."

"Ms. Yvette-"

Samuel opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but Yvette cut him off, "Do as I say."

Once the words were out, Yvette turned to head toward the elevator to go downstairs. However, halfway through, she was suddenly puffed into the stairwell by a pair of large hands.

"Baby, your acting just now was pretty good. I almost believed it."

Wilson's warm breath hit the back of Yvette's neck, and his hands tightly gripped her slender waist, leaving her unable to move.

Unable to break free, Yvette could only raise her hand to hook around Wilson's neck, speaking seriously.

"I already know why Grandma has suddenly become so abnormal. She's been poisoned with a hypnotizing fragrance."

At these words, Yvette's beautiful fox-like eyes instantly turned cold.

A hypnotizing fragrance could manipulate a person's mind, making it hard to detect in routine checks.

However, if used over time, it could cause significant harm to the body, especially since Martha was already elderly. The effects were even more dangerous for her health.

Before, when Martha resisted Yvette's approach, she never had a chance to get close, so she couldn't smell the strange fragrance on her.

"I didn't want

t to cancel the

engagement, but if I hadn't agreed at

the time, Grandma would have suffered. The fragrance would have made her do even more crazy

things, and her body wouldn't benoveldrama

able to handle it!"

Hearing the explanation, Wilson held her even tighter, pressing delicate kisses on

her soft earlobe, his voice hoarse.

"I know all that. But Yvie, hearing you say you wanted to cancel the engagement, even if it's pretend, still makes me sad..."
