Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns



As soon as he heard that, Lucas' fear intensified, and his face contorted. He shouted, "You'll face the wrath of the Murphys if you dare lay a finger on me! You think you're all that because you sleep with all those wealthy men, huh? You're nothing but a lowly-"

Without hesitation, Yvette lifted her foot and ruthlessly stomped on his crotch. She put everything she had into that kick, ensuring that he was rendered useless in that aspect.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

After he let out another blood-curdling scream, Lucas' eyes rolled back in his head from the pain, and he fainted.

When Jake arrived on the scene, he was met with a sight that sent a shiver down his spine. As he shook uncontrollably, a certain notion became even more firm in his mind—there was no one more dangerous to provoke than Yvette!

"Boss, I've brought everything you asked for!"

Jake respectfully presented the items to Yvette, who nodded in acknowledgment and accepted them from his hands.

"Are there any developments at the research institute?"

"After you fixed the chip last time, everything's been running smoothly. Also, the research institute is still looking into it!"

At this point, Jake flashed a cheeky wink at Yvette and said, "Oh, the only issue is that we're running low on funds again. How about another round of funding, boss?"

Yvette was clearly accustomed to it, so she remained impassive and asked, "How much?"

After a light chuckle, Jake's smile became even more ingratiating. "Exactly two billion dollars, not a penny more, not a penny less!"

Yvette gently pressed her pale fingers against her forehead. Who knew that the current research was such a financial black hole? She had recently invested one billion dollars into it, and now, it required another two billion dollars.

It seemed like it was time for her to start earning some money. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to keep up with the constant demands of this financial black hole.

"You can transfer this sum from my account."

"You got it, boss! I'll get right on it."

As for Lucas, who had fainted on the ground, no one paid him any attention.

After leaving Jubilife University, Yvette returned to Murray Manor on time.

"Welcome back, Yvie! We've personally whipped up a feast of your favorite dishes. Come

have a seat."

As soon as Yvette walked in, Yara and Irwin came forward to greet her, lovingly taking her hand and guiding her to a seat.

Meanwhile, Yasmin couldn't stand the sight of it. She feigned concern and said, "Where on earth have you been, Yvie? You're awfully late. We've all been waiting for you!

"And Yvie, you've been out and about quite a bit recently, which has us all worried sick. Are you perhaps getting mixed up with the wrong crowd?"

Although Yasmin appeared to be worried about Yvette, each sentence was a veiled attempt to paint Yvette in a negative light to Yara and Irwin.

As expected, Yara and Irwin both furrowed their brows as soon as they heard that.

A triumphant smirk spread across Yasmin's face as she cast a smug glance at Yvette. She was sure that Yvette would be in hot water, and that Yara and Irwin would give her a stern talking

-to.

With that thought in mind, Yasmin couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Yet, before Yasmin could bask in her triumph, Yara and Irwin turned to her with solemn glances.

"We know you're worried about Yvie, but we're confident in her character. She wouldn't befriend anyone who would lead her astray!"

"Exactly, Yas. We don't want to hear you say anything like that again. If someone overhears and spreads it around, it could harm Yvie's reputation."
