Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Ashton smiled at her and said, "Now that you've safely returned to Jubilife, I can finally relax

He wanted to say more, but lan interrupted him, "Look at you, acting so spineless. Not only did you

get yourself kidnapped, but you also had to make our precious sister clean up your mess!" lan didn't bother hiding his disdain.

This whole matter had been kept under wraps, and no news of it had leaked. Only lan and the

others were in the know.novelbin

Sean immediately nodded in agreement. "Exactly! Yvie really worked hard this time!"

Ashton went silent.

So, no one felt bad for him, huh? He was the victim here, almost left with psychological trauma because of that disgusting Raymond!

"I didn't work that hard," Yvette said. She noticed the concern reflected in lan and Sean's eyes and

felt a bit helpless.

She didn't understand why they always saw her as a fragile doll when, in reality, she was much stronger than they thought. However, her words only made lan and Sean feel even more sorry for her.

"Yvie, no need to pretend to be tough in front of us!"

Yvette rubbed her temples in frustration, letting out a soft sigh. What could she do to make her brothers stop thinking she was weak?

Watching Sean and lan fussing over Yvette, Ashton immediately felt insecure about his position in her life. Looking like a kicked puppy, he said, "Yvie, I've been busy filming lately to earn money for you, so I haven't been able to stay by your side. You better not forget about me!"

He didn't want to be out filming at all. He just wanted to stay by his precious sister's side, but what could he do? After all, he was the moneymaker for his sister!

"Of course I won't," Yvette replied firmly, instantly filling Ashton with joy.

He'd better accept a few more endorsements and earn more money for his precious sister!

Half an hour later, the car came to a smooth stop in front of Murray Manor.

As soon as Yvette stepped into the living room, a stern voice echoed through the air. "So, you've finally decided to come home!"

Alex was sitting in a wheelchair with a gloomy expression. He was being pushed toward her by a

maid.

A young woman like you, disappearing for days 1 word gets out, it'll bring shame to the Murrays

name!

Yvette's indifferent gaze landed on Alex. He looked even older than when she had last seen him. as though he had aged ten years. Clearly, his days in the nursing home had not been kind to him

No wonder he had threatened his life just to make Irwin bring him back from the nursing home

The moment Alex saw Yvette, he couldn't help but think of Yasmin, and he gritted his teeth Hatred toward Yvette coursed through him.

Yasmin was suffering in a psychiatric hospital, while Yvette was showered with everyone's love and even had a marriage agreement with the Quinn family. Why did she get everything?

If she hadn't returned, all of this would have belonged to Yasmin!

Alex was the elder, and lan had always respected him. But when he heard him reprimand Yvette, his expression instantly darkened.

"Grandpa, what are you saying?" he chastised. "Yvie didn't come home because she went to Jeckton to help Ash with his troubles. I hope you'll watch your words and not wrongly accuse her!

Sean's face was also clouded with displeasure as he chimed in, "That's right. Yvie hasn't done anything wrong. Grandpa, you're being unfair, and you owe Yvie an apology!"

Yvette was their precious little sister, and they wouldn't allow anyone, not even their grandfather, to wrong her!
