Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 438

“If you dare compete with me, I’m going to have to beat you up.”

Adam, tall and imposing, naturally exuded an authoritative presence.

Ashton and Sean immediately backed down. As much as they wanted to be by their beloved sister’s side, they couldn’t handle Adam’s fists!

After all, Adam was a former special forces soldier. How could they possibly be a match for him?

“We get it, we get it, Adam. We won’t compete with you for Yvie!” Ashton and Sean muttered begrudgingly.

Good, those two brats knew their place!

Seeing this, Adam raised his eyebrows triumphantly, but as soon as he turned, he saw Yvette standing

behind him.

The smug expression on his face instantly vanished.

Oh, no! He’d just acted like a thug–what if Yvette got a bad impression of him and stopped liking him?

“Yvie!”

Adam immediately squeezed out a gentle smile from his rugged, chiseled face. “I’m actually very gentle, so don’t be afraid of me!”

Gentle?

Ashton and Sean rolled their eyes so hard they literally saw the back of their skull. Did Adam even know the meaning of the word gentle?

Seeing the tough man act so cautiously in front of her, Yvette didn’t have the heart to make things difficult for him. She nodded obediently. “I’m not afraid.”

Only then did Adam’s face light up with a smile again, his eyes full of hope as he asked, “Yvie, how about I take you to school?”

“Okay.” Yvette nodded in agreement. After all, she had something she needed to talk to him about.

Seeing her agree, Adam was overjoyed, almost like a large, excited dog..

Jacob sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead. He clearly hadn’t expected that Adam would display such innocent foolishness one day. He immediately gave up on competing with him.

Forget it, it was rare to see him this happy. He would give him this one!

Jacob’s assistant, Jack, walked in briskly. “Mr. Murray, Chanel has released their latest collection,” he reported respectfully. “Shall we place an order for everything as usual and send it to Ms. Yvette’s room?”

“Yes.” Jacob nodded, then added, “And make sure to send the latest collection to the Smith Residence as well. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Yes, Mr. Murray,” Zack responded respectfully but couldn’t help but chuckle as he spoke again,

“Mr. Murray, everything you buy for Ms. Yvette, Ms. Nancy gets a share too. People who don’t know might think you have another little sister!”

He’d never seen Jacob care so much about any other woman besides Yvette. Could it be that Nancy was the future lady of the Murray family?

At that, Jacob fell into deep thought, his long, slender fingers tapping gently on the table.

It was true that his concern for Nancy far exceeded that for others. However, Jacob quickly came up with an explanation in his mind.

Nancy was as well–behaved and as understanding as Yvette. It was only natural that he treated her a bit more special!

With this thought, Jacob no longer dwelled on it and regained his composure, sneering inwardly. He would never be like Wilson, that old beast, who preyed on younger women!

In the car, Yvette said, “Adam, I’ve already made arrangements with the Elixirs Apothecary. Just mention my name, and they’ll give you the medicine.”

Adam was incredibly touched. He had mentioned the issue to her yesterday, and Yvette had not only remembered but had already taken care of it today.

His precious little sister was truly an angel!

“Thank you so much, Yvie, I really appreciate it!”

With this medicine, even if they got injured during missions, they’d recover quickly. It was a huge boon for

them!

Yvette shook her head. “No need to thank me.”

They were family, after all. Helping him was a matter of course. Besides, it wasn’t a difficult task for her.

Adam’s affection for Yvette grew. Not only had she saved his life in a critical moment, but now she’d helped him solve such a major problem. His little sister was truly his lucky star!

“Yvie, how much does the medicine cost?”

Without even looking up, Yvette replied, “It’s free.”

She might like money, but she would never overcharge her own family.

“No way, Yvie!” Adam frowned, adamantly insisting, “I must pay for it. I can’t take advantage of you.”

Seeing how stubborn he was, Yvette rubbed her temples with her delicate fingers and casually gave a price. “Fine, Adam. The medicine is 100 dollars per bottle.”

“What?” Adam was so shocked that his eyes widened. “It’s that cheap?”

How could such an effective medicine be sold at such a low price? That’s absurd!

Yvette nodded without batting an eye. “Yes, it’s really that cheap.”

If the people from the Elixirs Apothecary knew that Yvette was selling the medicine for 100 dollars a bottle, they’d probably be so heartbroken they’d practically spit blood.

On the black market, just one small bottle was being sold for a million, and even at that price, there wasn’t enough supply to meet demand.

Everyone was scrambling to get their hands on it.

But for Yvette, making this medicine was simple. She had developed the formula when she was only 10 years old, originally as a fun experiment. However, since the medicine was so effective, she kept the recipe

“Alright then!”

Adam had prepared himself to spend a fortune, but he hadn’t expected the medicine to be this affordable!

His precious little sister was truly his lucky star!

Seeing Adam so happy, Yvette smiled faintly.

“Yvie, do you know the people at the Elixirs Apothecary?”

Only now did Adam realize that the Elixirs Apothecary, backed by the Dark Organisation, was notorious for its high–profile and arrogant conduct. How had Yvie, who had just returned to Jubilife, become connected with them?

“Not very well,” Yvette lied with a straight face.

She wasn’t lying–it was just that they were only a little bit familiar!

Adam didn’t say anything. He couldn’t seem to believe her words.

“Mr. Murray, we’ve arrived at Jubilife University,” the driver said, interrupting Adam’s thoughts.

Adam gently patted Yvette’s head, his tone unusually soft. “Yvie, I’ll come pick you up after school!”

If his teammates could hear the gentleness in his voice, their eyes would surely pop out of their heads in

shock.
