Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

1

"As expected of my precious daughter, you pull off every look perfectly!" Yara praised happily, watching Yvette try on the new skirts she had bought. By this time, night had fallen.

lan and Sean, who were watching from the side, also immediately followed up with their own

praises.

"That's right, any clothes worn by Yvie are beautiful!"

"Yvie looks good no matter what!"

The two of them lacked aesthetic sense and knew nothing of design. They simply felt that their sister looked good in anything!

Yvette smiled, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

Sean's teeth were bared in a wide grin, while lan was looking at her gently and affectionately

Yara held her hand tightly as they surrounded her and showered her with praises.

It was a heartwarming scene. However, a furious roar from outside abruptly shattered the peace.

"Where is Yvette? Tell her to get out here and face me!"

The maid pushed Alex into the living room on his wheelchair. Anger filled him at the sight of

Yvette.

He pointed at her and yelled, "You shameless thing! You're young, yet instead of studying well you

get yourself into a scandal! You've really brought shame to the Murray name!"

Upon hearing Alex's harsh words, Sean and lan were instantly angered. They moved to stand in

front of Yvette, shielding her from Alex.

"Don't go overboard, Grandpa. Don't forget that Yvie has an engagement agreement with the Quinns. Even if she didn't, this is hardly even something worth lecturing Yvie over, much less

something that would bring shame to the Murray name!"

"That's right! What era do you think this is? Why are you still so old-fashioned, Grandpa?"

Alex was even angrier to see lan and Sean defending Yvette to this extent.

"I haven't even started on you two ungrateful little shits!" he berated in rage. "I was lying in the hospital for an entire day, yet none of you came to visit me! The way I see it, every single one of you has been bewitched by that country bumpkin!" Hearing Alex call Yvette a country bumpkin, Sean could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. "We still call you Grandpa out of respect, but if you slander Yvie one more time, you're no longer

my grandfather in my eyes!"

Yvette had gone through countless sufferings in her 18 years living in the countryside. It didn't matto

if Alex didn't feel bad about it, but the fact that he would use it to slander Yvette was

bitterly disappointing.

"You're actually going to disown your grandfather just because of that brat?"

Alex felt his blood boil. He raised his hand, intent on giving Sean a slap to the face. Just as it looked like it was about to connect with Sean's face, his wrist suddenly went numb. He couldn't seem to summon any strength to his hand. A woman's cold voice sounded near him. "You still want to hit Sean? Dream on."

"You-" Alex felt humiliated. He roared, "Fine! I won't hit him. Instead, I'm going to beat you to death, you disrespectful brat!"

"Nobody gets to touch my precious daughter!" Yara rushed to stand in front of Yvette, glaring angrily at Alex. Every word she spoke held power. "I'm warning you, if you dare criticize Yvette again, don't blame me for how I react!" Screw respect! It was precisely because she had been too respectful in the past that Alex was allowed to bully Yvette again and again!

Alex was stunned. He evidently didn't expect Yara, who had always been meek and respectful, to/ treat him this way. It made him so angry his hands shook.

"You... How dare you speak to me this way! This is utterly unacceptable!"noveldrama
