Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 495

Madison placed the breakfast in front of Yvette. She often saw Yvette drinking this specific brand of milk, and she had secretly taken note of it.

“Thank you.” Though Yvette had had her breakfast, she didn’t want to let Madison down, so she accepted the breakfast.

“You’re welcome, Yvie. Had it not been for your help, I’d still be lying in a hospital bed! Here! Try this croissant I got you!”

“Yvie, I’ve got some delicious chicken quiche! Do you wanna have one?”

“Try these custard buns, Yvie!”

Yvette’s classmates were all eager to let her have a bite of the breakfast they brought her. And that was exactly the scene that Charlie saw when he walked into the classroom.

He couldn’t help but smile. Yvette was truly popular among her classmates!

As she listened to Charlie’s lecture lazily, Yvette received a text message from Adam.

Adam: “Yvie, I’ve submitted the applications. Someone will be there to bring you to the base camp in three days!”

It wasn’t an easy feat to enter the base camp. They had stringent rules to adhere to.

Yvette: “Got it, Adam.”

Adam unknowingly smiled when he saw Yvette’s reply. It had only been a day since he last saw her, but he was already starting to miss her.

He had originally planned to come and pick her up himself. Unfortunately, he had other

matters to attend to and really couldn’t find the time to do so.

After replying to Adam’s text message, Yvette put her phone away and began paying attention to Charlie’s lecture. She already knew all that he was teaching, but she was just showing him some respect to make him feel better lest he put on a pitiful expression again.

When he saw Yvette paying attention to his lesson, Charlie was very pleasantly surprised. He was so excited that he couldn’t bring himself to dismiss the class even after the bell had gone

off.

“It seems like I’m getting better at delivering my lessons!” Charlie glowed confidently. “Even Yvette is paying attention! This is amazing! Oh boy, I don’t even want the lesson to end now. Let me carry on for a while more, everyone!”

Yvette couldn’t believe her ears. She thought that she’d be better off sleeping in class in the future.

Charlie held the entire class back for another ten minutes before finally letting them go unwillingly.

“Yvie!” Nancy excitedly pounced on Yvette the moment they walked out of the classroom. She even burrowed herself into Yvette’s arms and rubbed her cheeks on Yvette.

Yvette reached up to pinch her cheek before asking softly, “How long do you plan on giving Jacob the silent treatment, Nancy? He’s been looking glum for the past few days because of this.”

He was, after all, her brother. She couldn’t bring herself to see him look so miserable. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“He’s not taking the initiative to text me!” Nancy was peeved at the mention of that. “Is that how one pursues another? No way! I need to make him do so!”

After a moment’s thought, Nancy linked her arm with Yvette’s intimately. “You’ll help me, Yvie, won’t you?”

Yvette gladly went along. “Of course.”

“Haha! I knew you’re the best!” Nancy’s smile widened further. “Let’s go! Let’s grab lunch at Royal Crown Kitchen.”

They had barely taken a few steps when Jasper appeared out of nowhere.

“Yvette, where are you guys headed? Can I tag along? I promise that your meal will taste much better with me there…” Jasper rambled on.

Yvette massaged her temples. She finally understood why Wilson couldn’t stand Jasper. He was unbelievably noisy!

“Come on, bring me with you, Yvette. Let me tag along…” Jasper carried on harassing her when he saw Yvette ignoring him.

“You did me such a huge favor that time, Yvette. Let me buy you a meal!”

Had it not been for Yvette, he’d have lost 5% of Quinn Corporation’s shares. If Wilson were to find out, he’d be done for!
