Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 631



Yvette spoke lazily, knowing that hitting him wouldn't relieve her anger. She had a better way to vent her frustration

Alex let out a disdainful snort, convinced she didn't have the guts to lay a hand on him. After all,

no matter what, he was still her elder in name. If she dared to hit him, people would condemn her.

"Ah ah ow...novelbin

Alex was just beginning to feel smug when a sudden, intense itch spread all over his body. He immediately started scratching, but no matter how hard he clawed at his skin, the itch wouldn't stop.

"What's happening? Why is this happening? It itches... it itches all over..."

Watching Alex suddenly scratch himself like mad, Sean was startled and asked in confusion," What's happening to Grandpa? He was fine just a moment ago, wasn't he?"

Yvette had quietly and swiftly flicked a pinch of powder without anyone noticing. Her delicate eyebrows raised lazily, and she spoke innocently, "I have no idea."

The powder she had sprinkled on Alex was nothing more than a stronger version of itching powder. It was harmless to the body but would make a person itch so badly that it felt unbearable for a while. Today, Alex was certainly in for a rough time. Although Yvette's face was a picture of innocence, there was a mischievous gleam in her eyes. lan thought for a moment and quickly realized what had happened. Since Yvette knew medicine, she must have sprinkled some kind of powder on their grandfather. lan gave her a doting look without the slightest hint of blame, causing warmth to bloom in

Yvette's heart.

Alex, still frantically scratching his skin, yelled, "It's so itchy... I'm going to die from how itchy it is!

Only then did lan turn his attention back to Alex, giving a cold command to the maids, "Take

Grandpa to the hospital."

The maids quickly and respectfully complied. "Yes, Mr. Ian."

As they wheeled Alex out of the living room, his screams of agony could still be heard, a testament to how potent the itching powder was.

Sean laughed. "Isn't this karma?" He rubbed his swollen cheek, but his face lit up with a smile.

This feels so damn satisfying!"

"Sean, you need to apply some ointment to your face," Yvette said as she took out a first aid kit.

Otherwise, the swelling won't go down by tomorrow. Let me apply it for you."

"What! I've got a competition tomorrow, and my handsome face can't have any flaws!" As soon as Yvette offered to personally apply the ointment, Sean broke into a bright grin, and he obediently. leaned his face toward her. "I'll have to trouble you to take care of me then!" However, lan's voice cut through his happiness, "Yvie, you've had a long journey. Go rest first. I'll take care of applying the ointment."

lan was firm, and Yvette couldn't refuse, so she agreed obediently.

"Ow... ow... it hurts, lan! Could you be a bit gentler? Sean winced and gritted his teeth in pain. "It really hurts..."

Not only did lan not lighten his touch, but he applied even more pressure. "And who was it that tricked me into believing Yvie liked bland food? You'll have to endure it, Sean!"

It was revenge, plain and simple!
