Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Victoria's lips curled up in a sinister smile, and she moved to smash the full bottle of hypnotizing fragrance on the floor.

Just a little whiff of the hypnotizing fragrance was enough to muddle the senses, and a little more than that could enable her to control someone's mind. Therefore, such a strong dose would be enough for her to control everyone in the room!

However, Yvette moved faster than she did. Before she could react, Yvette had snatched the hypnotizing fragrance out of her hand.

"What are you doing, Yvette Murray?" Victoria's expression immediately twisted upon seeing the hypnotizing fragrance stolen away from her.

But Yvette completely ignored her in favor of presenting the bottle of hypnotizing fragrance to Martha. "Grandma, don't you find this fragrance familiar?" she asked.

Because Martha had already had a whiff of the antidote Yvette made, even if she smelled the hypnotizing fragrance again, it would no longer affect her.

"Yes, it's familiar! That's the strange fragrance I've been smelling!" replied Martha, instantly becoming worked up after sniffing at the bottle. "I started feeling muddle- headed and confused after inhaling this fragrance, like I was being controlled!

"This is a hypnotizing fragrance. People who inhale this fragrance will slowly become dull and muddle-headed, in the end turning into mindless puppets open to manipulation."

As soon as the words left Yvette's mouth, Victoria's expression turned uglier, and she quickly said, "This is just a normal bottle of perfume. I've never heard of something like a hypnotizing fragrance! Furthermore, how could something capable of controlling people's minds exist in this world!"

She bit her lip, eyes red, putting on a feeble and aggrieved expression. "I know you don't like me, Yvie, so you want to drive me away from Mrs. Quinn Senior and Wilson's side. However, you can't just slander me like this either!"

"Your acting skills are pretty good," Yvette commented instead.

She looked coldly at Victoria's pitiful appearance, then added with a sneer, "It's a pity you didn't go to acting school."

"Mrs. Quinn Senior... Wilson... you have to believe me..."

Victoria sniffled a few times, crying so pitifully that anyone who saw her would find it hard not to feel for her.

"I didn't do it... How could I have done something like that? I don't even know what hypnotizing fragrance is!"

Seeing this, Jimmy couldn't resist adding, "That's right, Mrs. Quinn Senior, Mr. Quinn! Ms. Olson is the kindest person around and also treats you with utmost respect. How could she possibly do something to harm you?"

Martha couldn't help feeling a little hesitant. She naturally believed Yvette, but Victoria was someone she'd personally watched grow up. She really wasn't willing to believe that the latter could have the intention to hurt her!

"Please allow me to perform acupuncture on you, Mrs. Quinn Senior."

Yvette didn't waste time saying anything unnecessary. Instead, she quickly and accurately inserted an acupuncture needle into a point on Martha's head.

The moment the needle was inserted, Martha's gaze became even clearer. Then, as if recalling something, her face went pale and for the first time in her life, she looked at Victoria as if looking at a stranger.

"I-It's you!" she exclaimed. "I

remember now! It was after you made me inhale that strange fragrance that I kept hearing a voice in my head, telling me to take a fall from the second floor. That's why I fell from the second floor as if possessed!"

Martha had been controlled by the hypnotizing fragrance for too long and was just barely regaining her senses, so she only barely

remembered everything that had happened for the past few days. However, now that Yvette had performed acupuncture on her, she could recall everything clearly.

She looked at Victoria with eyes full of disappointment and great heartache.

"The Quinn family has never treated you badly, and I've always treated you well, so how dare you do something like this?"

How exactly had Yvette managed to make her hypnotizing fragrance ineffective?

Seeing Martha become completely clear-headed, Victoria turned white as a sheet, a strong chill running down her spine.noveldrama
