Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

"Hmm?"

Wilson's expression darkened slightly. His eyes narrowed, and a dangerous air began to radiate from him.

Xavier showed no sign of backing down. "This is Mr. Maximillian's decision."

The two locked eyes, and invisible sparks seemed to explode in the air, charged with tension and hostility.

Yvette pressed her lips together, turning to Wilson. "You wait outside for me. I'll go in and see Mr. Maximillian first."noveldrama

"Okay." Wilson's expression softened as he looked at Yvette, returning to his usual gentleness. He nodded obediently.

Yvette's red lips curved, and she couldn't help but pat Wilson's head, seeing him being so obedient.

As he watched their intimate interaction, Xavier's gaze deepened, and the jealousy and hostility in his eyes intensified.

...

"Mr. Maximillian!" Yvette entered the inner room and called out respectfully.

Upon hearing her voice, Theodore slowly turned. A gentle smile appeared on his face, making him appear refined and approachable.

"You're back," he said.

Yvette nodded obediently. "Mhm."

"Sit down." Theodore waved his hand toward her, then poured her a cup of coffee. "Finally decided to come back? I thought you'd forgotten about us old men!"

Yvette's ears turned slightly red at his teasing tone. "There were just too many things to handle in Jubilife, so I didn't come back earlier."

"Too many things, or was there someone in Jubilife you couldn't bear to leave?" Theodore took a sip of coffee.

He continued, "And you've been hiding it from me all along. If I hadn't found out by accident, how long were you planning to keep this from me?"

"I wasn't trying to hide it from you. It's just that I didn't find the right opportunity yet."

Yvette spoke obediently. She only acted this way in front of Theodore.

Theodore, not really angry to begin with, softened upon seeing Yvette being obedient.

"Mr. Maximillian, I've brought him back. Why haven't you seen him?"

Upon hearing this, Theodore slammed his cup down with a cold snort. "If I agree to meet him so easily, won't I be acting in his favor?"

Wilson had stolen away Theodore's most treasured apprentice, and now, he wasn't even allowed to throw a tantrum or put on a show?

Yvette fluttered her lashes. "Mr. Maximillian, please don't make it difficult for him!"

She was so protective of him. She was afraid that Theodore would give Wilson a hard time!

Theodore felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.

Guess she was all grown up and slipping away!

"Mr. Maximillian, he's been waiting outside. Please meet with him!" Yvette said softly, her lips slightly pursed in a pleading manner.

Theodore snorted lightly. "Hmph, look at how anxious you are."

He had never seen Yvette act like this before. Clearly, she really liked that man! "Mr. Maximillian..."

As they spoke, Wilson had already entered the room, respectfully greeting him.

"Arthur... Arthur Quinn?"

Yvette frowned, a bad premonition rising in her heart. "Mr. Maximillian, what are

you saying?"

She had never seen Theodore look this way before...

"No, you're not him."

Theodore's usual gentle and refined demeanor completely vanished. All that was

left on his face was hatred, and he spoke sharply.

"What is your relationship with Authur Quinn?"
