Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 458

Yvette’s delicate features hardened into an icy expression that sent shivers down one’s spine.

A wave of dread washed over Alice as she trembled and cried out, “Yvette, you’ve already ruined my family and driven us to bankruptcy! What more could you possibly want?”

Yvette didn’t even care to look at Alice and dismissed her entirely.

“She’s all yours now.” When Yvette shifted her gaze to Madison, the latter unexpectedly felt a surge of confidence.

“An eye for an eye; make her pay.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Upon hearing that, Madison felt warmth flood through her.

Yvette had told Madison to focus on healing and promised that once she was better, she could take her revenge. Now, Yvette was making good on that promise.

“I know exactly what to do, Yvie.”

“Okay.” Yvette nodded lazily before crossing her long legs as she settled in to watch the unfolding drama

with keen interest.

“D–Don’t come any closer,” Alice stammered, her face paling as Madison approached.

“Madison, don’t think that you’re special just because you have Yvette’s backing! Once she stops protecting you, you’ll regret crossing me. There will be no escape for you-”

Before Alice could finish her threats, a loud slap rang out as Madison struck her hard across the face.

Alice stumbled back in shock, staring wide–eyed at Madison. “You bitch! How dare you hit me?”

Even though the Robertson family was bankrupt, Alice still believed she was superior and looked down on those from humble backgrounds. Hence, being slapped in the face by someone she considered beneath her was a humiliation she simply could not accept.

“Bitch?” Madison scoffed as she raised her hand and struck Alice’s face again.

“Only someone as malicious as you deserves that title!”

Madison unleashed all the pent–up anger she had been harboring. Alice’s face swelled, transforming into a grotesque mask of pain as she cried out for mercy.

“Ouch! It hurts. Please stop slapping me. I was wrong. Just let me go!”

Madison’s voice was icy and unyielding. “You can’t handle this? This is nothing compared to what you did to me!”

Back then, Alice had cornered her in a dark alley with a group of bodyguards, subjecting her to humiliation and beatings before tossing her into an underground boxing ring–a hell on earth.

Madison hadn’t even come close to inflicting that level of suffering on Alice.

Alice’s face twisted in agony, her eyes narrowing with venom as she glared at Madison.

“Who told you not to cooperate with me back then? You brought this on yourself!”

If only Madison had helped her deceive Yvette sooner, then Alice wouldn’t have had to resort to such brutal measures.

Madison bellowed, “How dare you bring up the past? If I had gone along with your plan to harm Yvie, that

would make me just as cruel and selfish as you!”

“I’m cruel?” Alice’s expression contorted further, her voice rising in a frantic scream.

“This is all your fault! I just transferred to Jubilife University and all of you isolated me. Yet, you fawned over Yvette. If you hadn’t turned your backs on me and only supported her, I wouldn’t have acted like this!”

Madison was taken aback by Alice’s words. “You really are shameless.”

Alice had arrived at Jubilife University with an air of superiority and had deliberately targeted Yvette. That was why everyone felt repulsed by her. Yet here Alice was, flipping the narrative and blaming everyone else for isolating her.

“You always blame others and never reflect on your own mistakes.”
