Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Wilson followed closely after Yvette, his cold and calculating gaze landing on the smug-looking Victoria.

"Who do you think you are?"

"Wilson..." Victoria hadn't expected Wilson to have come as well. Her expression instantly changed and she looked drastically different from a moment ago.

Wearing an aggrieved expression, she said, "You've misunderstood me, Wilson. I'm just worried that Mrs. Quinn Senior might get angry if she sees Yvie. It would affect her health, which is why I asked Mr. Lacroix to escort her out!"

As she said so, she cast Jimmy a glance, who understood what she meant and hurriedly nodded along.

"That's right! You know as well that Mrs. Quinn Senior isn't fond of Ms. Murray, Mr. Quinn. It's also quite inappropriate for her to show up here—"

Before he could even finish speaking, Wilson unceremoniously kicked him to the ground, voice cold and harsh as he questioned, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

Jimmy was kicked so harshly that his ribs broke. He was in so much pain that he couldn't get back up.

Still, he pleaded pitifully, "No, no! It's a misunderstanding, Mr. Quinn! How would I dare..."

The unease in Victoria's heart increased as she watched everything happen. She quickly and inconspicuously sent the staff accompanying Martha a message, instructing them to bring Martha over immediately.

Once Martha was here, she would manipulate her into bringing up the topic of marriage between her and Wilson. Given how much respect Wilson showed toward Martha, he would definitely agree to it!

At that point, she would be the legitimate future lady of the Quinn household. She'd certainly like to see who dared go against her then! At the mere thought of it, a smile curled on her lips.

Yvette took note of all the changes in Victoria's expression, cherry red lips lifting coldly in a half-smile as she looked at her.

Why was Yvette looking at her like that?

Victoria's unease deepened again, but when she saw the household staff

wheeling Martha over in her wheelchair, her smug smile reappeared on her face.

No matter what reason Yvette had

for coming to Quinn Manor today, she would only receive hatred from Martha, who was being controlled by the hypnotizing fragrance! She could only wait to be driven out of Quinn Manor in despair!

"Why are you here, Mrs. Quinn Senior?"

She pretended to walk over to Martha in concern, when actually she was instructing Martha in a voice only loud enough for the two maids next to her to hear.

"Remember, the person you hate the most is Yvette! And no matter what methods you have to use, you must make Wilson agree to marry me!"

Martha's clouded gaze seemed to become even more unfocused as she mumbled subconsciously, "I-I remember... I know what to do! Will..."

Victoria felt immensely smug upon hearing Martha's mumbling. She turned to look challengingly at Yvette.

Soon, Wilson would be hers! She wanted to see Yvette watch helplessly as Wilson became hers!

She could already imagine Yvette's look of pain and despair upon witnessing Wilson promising Martha to get engaged with her!

But just then, Martha suddenly smelled a cool fragrance that made her feet refreshed. Her aching head stopped hurting as well. Her gaze was no longer dull and lifeless, but was slowly becoming clear. noveldrama

However, Victoria didn't notice these changes. When she saw that Martha wasn't obeying her orders, her expression twisted. She clenched her fists tightly in anger, fingernails digging into her palms.

Why was this old hag not listening to her again? It seemed she would have to

increase the intensity of the fragrance!
