Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 219

After Yvette ended the call with Matt, she received another call from an unknown number.

“Yvette!”

Immediately after the call connected, Amy’s sharp voice pierced through the phone speakers.

‘Listen up, we’re not going to give you the 50 million dollars that you asked for. On top of that, you must repay us for raising you over the years!

“We won’t ask for much. Just give us 80 million dollars and we’ll stop bothering you!”

80 million dollars? Yvette sneered at their audacity. “Do you think you’re worthy?”

“Why aren’t we worthy?” Amy barked. “We’re Kayla’s only family members. She’s dead, so you should repay us for her kindness!”

Yvette was angered by Amy’s shameless statements, her gaze turning ice cold. If the Murphys weren’t Kayla’s family members, they wouldn’t have survived until today.

Concerned, Tyler immediately stepped in to be the peacemaker.

“Yvie, we used to be family; why push us into a corner like this? Also, you’re the daughter of the richest man in Jubilife City. You don’t need the 50 million dollars. Why don’t you just let this go?”

As Yvette had expected, Amy and Tyler were equally shameless as a couple.

Yvette said icily, “I’ve said this before: if you don’t pay up, you can go to jail instead. Take your pick.”

“Must you do this, Yvette? You ruined my reputation, and our company’s gone bankrupt because of you. We have so much debt, but you’re still asking for 50 million dollars. Are you trying to kill us?” Lynda demanded spitefully over the phone.

“If you force us any more than this, we’ll just die!

That sounded like good news to Yvette, though. She said nonchalantly, “If you’re going to die, go somewhere far away to do it. Don’t taint my eyes.”

The Murphys hadn’t expected Yvette to answer that way. They didn’t think Yvette would tell them to die somewhere far away when they threatened to kill themselves. How evil!

Lynda trembled from anger. She began, “Yvette, you-”

Before Lynda could say anything else, Yvette hung up and immediately blocked their phone numbers. Then, Yvette casually turned on the news.

News outlets everywhere had already reported Lynda’s plagiarism. Netizens were cursing Lynda out, and the design industry made a public statement to ban her as well. Lynda was effectively nailed onto the wall of shame.

Yvette sent a text message thereafter. The other party instantly replied, and they sounded very respectful.

“We understand. We’ll make sure they go bankrupt and receive a long prison sentence.”

The next day, everyone in the class was excited.

only five slots, so everyone hoped to see their own name on the list.

“It goes without saying that Nora would be on the list!”

“Of course! Nora’s smart, and she’s always done well. She will definitely be on the list for the medical competition.”
