Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Jimmy had never imagined that right after returning to Quinn Manor, he would be driven out again. He had thought that as long as he ingratiated himself with

Victoria, he would have an easy life, but...

Although he was unhappy with the outcome, he could only blame himself for siding with the wrong person. The other members of the staff who tried to curry favor with Victoria were also deeply regretting it, but it was too late for them.

Wilson hugged Yvette, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead as he said in distress, "It's been hard on you all this while, Yvie."

Yvette leaned into his embrace, replying gently, "Let's go see how Grandma is doing!"

Martha had genuinely regarded Victoria as her own granddaughter, so now that she knew everything that Victoria had done, she must be truly sad.

"Alright," Wilson said in agreement.noveldrama

Martha was standing on the balcony alone, a sad look on her face.

"Grandma," Yvette called.

Martha's mood improved the moment she saw Yvette and she held her hand lovingly, completely ignoring Wilson.

Wilson, long used to Martha's double standards, stood to the side, looking on silently with an exasperated smile on his lips.

"I feel much better after seeing you, Yvie!"

The moment the words left her mouth, Martha seemed to think of something else and sighed heavily, before continuing, "If she hadn't done all those things, Will and I would never have treated her badly.

"I had actually already prepared a generous wedding gift for her and had been keeping an eye out for other handsome and outstanding men for her, hoping that she would meet someone who truly loved her..."

She knew that Victoria fancied Wilson, but love wasn't something that could be forced, so she'd subconsciously always turned down Victoria's attempts to visit Quinn Manor.

She hadn't expected to end up inviting Victoria's hatred, but what she found most unforgivable was Victoria attempting to truly harm Yvette and almost causing Wilson's death!

"Forget it. Let's not bring her up in the future! We'll simply act as if she never existed!" she declared.

Yvette lightly squeezed her hand, offering silent comfort.

Martha's eyes were filled with affection as she said, "I haven't even had the opportunity to congratulate you on coming in first place in the International Medical Congress' competition, Yvie!

"I even heard that you're the world's leading medical scientist, Vern! You really are amazing, as expected of my granddaughter! You truly make me proud!"

She hugged Yvette, praising her endlessly, only reluctantly letting her go when it was time for her to take her medicine and return to her room to rest.

"You're finally returning Yvie to me, Grandma," Wilson complained jokingly.

He held Yvette's hand in satisfaction, a smile in those captivating eyes of his as he breathed across her neck. "You're mine and only mine now, baby."

Yvette knew exactly what his expression meant, her face turning red in an instant.

The atmosphère in the room

suddenly became tense and heavy. Wilson's dark gaze landed on her moist lips, those well-defined hands of his reaching out to wrap tightly around her slim waist in an aggressive move.

But just then, his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing nonstop, cutting through the tension in the air.

Wilson's gaze darkened instantly. Which ignorant bastard was it that interrupted him at such a good time?

When she say the many messages Jacob sent Wilson, Yvette couldn't help becoming curious. However,

before she could go through his et

messages properly, Wilson quickly snatched his phone away and stowed it in his pocket.

She arched an eyebrow at him, looking at him in puzzlement as she asked, "Why

are you suddenly getting along with Jacob?"

Although Jacob had acknowledged

Wilson, he still found Wilson extremely unpleasant. Every time they met, they would exchange. barbed words and taunt each other over their age-in other words, it was mutual destruction.

And yet, they were suddenly contacting each other so frequently. Something was fishy here!
