Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Skyla was worried. "Besides, this is Kaiser Casino-a territory of the Shadow Alliance! No one is allowed to stir up trouble here!"

She continued, "Don't you understand? In Yenosha, the Shadow Alliance is practically God. Of all people, they're the last ones you want to offend!"

"Oh," Miguel replied calmly. He was unfazed, unlike the visibly anxious Skyla.

What was the big deal? Yvette had already crossed the Shadow Alliance many times over.

"Stop right there!"

Kaiser Casino's guards arrived swiftly, surrounding Yvette.

"Who are you? Don't you know that no one is allowed to cause trouble in Kaiser Casino?"

"Well, isn't that convenient?" Yvette's tongue pressed lightly against her teeth; instead of any sign of fear, a hint of wicked amusement crossed her face.

She said brazenly, "I came here today precisely to cause trouble."

Her words sent a shockwave across the crowd. No one could believe someone would actually dare act so boldly on Shadow Alliance's territory!

Skyla stared at Yvette, momentarily dazed, her heartbeat quickening.

How arrogant! No one had ever dared be this arrogant in front of the Shadow Alliance before!

But... wow! This person really was incredibly handsome!

"How dare you! You have quite the nerve to come here and cause trouble on Shadow Alliance's territory!"

Skyla quickly snapped out of her thoughts and stepped forward, trying to plead on Yvette's behalf. "He's my friend. This is his first time coming to Kaiser Casino, and he's still unfamiliar with the rules. Could you let it slide just this once, for the sake of the Granger family?"

The lead guard's face remained impassive. "Ms. Granger, this is a rule set personally by the boss. Anyone who violates it must be punished accordingly."

Hearing him mention the Shadow Alliance's dumbass boss reminded Yvette of how he'd once cost her a fortune and nearly emptied her savings. Her mood soured instantly.

In the next moment, she snatched the gun from the lead guard's hand with ease, pointing it directly at his forehead.

"Well, that depends on whether Shadow Alliance has the skill to back it up!" she taunted.

"You... you actually dare to act so arrogantly on Shadow Alliance ground. You have a death wish!"noveldrama

The lead guard's expression

hardened as he pressed a button on

his device. Alarms blared throughout the casino as a wave of guards surged toward them.

Yvette remained utterly unfazed, a smirk tugging at her crimson lips. Then, she casually tossed a smoke bomb.

The guards panicked and shot at the smoke bomb, only to trigger it prematurely, sending up clouds of smoke.

"Ah... gunfire! Run!"

Gunshots and smoke spread

quickly, throwing the wealthy guests

into a terrified frenzy. In no time, the entire Kaiser Casino descended into chaos.

"Careful." Yvette reached out to steady Skyla, who nearly stumbled in the

commotion, brushing a stray lock of her hair back into place.

Her tone was casual, almost indifferent, yet inexplicably reassuring. "You'd better

get going. Wouldn't want to scare you lovely ladies."

Looking into Yvette's mischievously upturned fox-like eyes, Skyla felt her

heartbeat skip. She couldn't recover for a long moment.

It was over-she'd fallen in love...

The other heiresses close to Skyla quickly dragged her away, scrambling to

escape as the rest of the crowd rushed toward the exits.

As Yvette watched the last of the innocent bystanders evacuate Kaiser Casino, her eyebrows arched lazily.

"Time to put our plan in motion," she said in an unhurried tone.
