Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Yvette was indeed very angry at Wilson for destroying the Dark Organization's goods, and canceling the engagement party served as punishment for him.

Beyond that, she needed to return to the Dark Organization headquarters as soon as possible to give Theodore an explanation, so the engagement party had to be canceled no matter what. lan couldn't help but be curious. What exactly had happened that would cause Yvette and Wilson to fight to the point that they would want to call off the engagement party?

"Yvie, there's something I haven't found the time to tell you. On the night you and Wilson fought, he waited in front of the Murray Manor for an-"

Before he could finish his sentence, the driver's polite voice drifted over to them. "Mr. Ian, Ms. Yvette, we've arrived at the research institute."

lan was just about to continue where he left off when he was interrupted, but then he caught sight of a familiar silhouette standing outside the car. His eyes widened in shock and fear. "How is she here, Yvie?"

Yvette couldn't help but feel amused at lan's spooked expression. "Have you forgotten, lan? I'll need to leave Jubilife City soon, so Ellie will be your partner instead."

lan was immediately in despair. He had no desire to become partners with this frivolous woman!

Yvette told him seriously, "Ellie is a great person, lan!"

lan was at a loss for words, the corners of his mouth twitching violently. He gritted his teeth just thinking about how she boldly and crassly fondled his butt, but he could only endure it for his darling sister's sake. "I'll do my best to get along with her during work, Yvie."

Outside of work hours, he didn't want to see even a glimpse of her!

"Yvie!" Ellen rushed forward enthusiastically at the sight of Yvette, wrapping her in a bear hug. Then her gaze fell on lan, and her eyes were filled with amusement. "Have you considered what I said to you last time?"

lan retreated a step, putting some distance between them. "I don't remember what you said," he said coldly.

His resistance simply increased Ellen's urge to assert dominance over him. Her lips curled up in a smile. "Submit to me, and I'll take care of you!" she said breathily in his ear. When she thought about it more, it wasn't such a bad idea to be able to become even closer with

her dearest Yvette!

"You" lan reddened, unsure if what he was feeling was anger or something else. Angry and annoyed, he turned and entered the research institute ahead of them.

Ellen laughed in glee. "Sweetie, your brother is so much fun to tease!"noveldrama

Yvette looked at her helplessly. "Stop bullying lan, Ellie!"

"Yvie." Xavier was also here now. He naturally carried an elegant and noble air about him, so just

seeing him standing there was pleasing to the eyes

His face darkened at the dark shadows under Yvette's eyes. Who would've thought that Wilson

held such great influence over Yvette...

Outwardly, his face remained neutral and his tone gentle.

"I also bear responsibility for the matter of the destroyed goods. It was my negligence that caused the shipping route to change midway. If not for that, they wouldn't have ended up destroyed. I'll go back to headquarters with you and explain everything to Mr. Maximillian!"

"There's no need for that. You're not to blame for this incident."

Yvette's expression grew cold at the mention of the incident. Even if the shipping route hadn't been changed, Wilson would've had the ability to destroy them as long as he set his mind to it.
