Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

The air outside the restaurant was thick with tension. Inside, Yvette was blissfully unaware.

"Sweetie, you should eat a little more!" Ellen exclaimed. Ian, for once, agreed with her, helping to pile more food onto Yvette's plate.

"Yes, Yvie. You need to eat more!"

Yvette rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat exasperated as she gazed at her overflowing plate. Ian, Ellie, I'm already full."

Ellen finally relented, abandoning her attempts to feed her further. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Yvette's slender waist, giving her a gentle squeeze. With a worried look, she said, "How can I get my sweetie to eat some more?" lan frowned in distaste as he watched Ellen's hands roam over Yvette's body. If she weren't a

woman, he would have chopped off her hands where she sat.

"Ellie, stop it. I'm ticklish!"

Yvette squirmed, then pulled out her phone to read a message from a certain man. A delicate smile played on her luscious, ruby-red lips.

She was already stunning, but with that delicate smile, she became breathtakingly gorgeous.

Ellen was mesmerized, reluctant to release her hold on Yvette. "My sweetie is just too beautiful!"

lan looked at her with exasperation. Of course, he knew how attractive his precious sister was

But how could a woman like Ellen be so utterly captivated by Yvette?noveldrama

Feeling lan's gaze on her, Ellen turned her head toward him, her expression languid and charming. "Why are you looking at me?"

He let out a cold snort, his handsome face turning frosty as he looked away.

There he was again, showing that blasted attitude!

Ellen seized the moment when Yvette left the private room for the restroom. Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she sauntered over to lan. Her voice dripped with nonchalance. "Are you still sulking about me touching your butt when I was drunk yesterday?"

His expression turned even colder, his jaw clenched in annoyance. "Shut up! Don't mention it again! Ellen's eyes gleamed with amusement at his reaction. She leaned in closer, her voice taking on a flirtatious tone. "I'll take responsibility for my actions. You can be mine. How does that sound?" lan was caught off guard by her sudden proximity. His heart pounded in his chest as her face Chapter 665

drew closer.

Watching him panic, Ellen's amusement only grew. She breathed a soft breath into his ear, her voice a sultry whisper as she said, "I've come to like you very much."

The spot where she touched him felt like it was on fire, and his ears flushed with heat.

With a mischievous glint in her eye, Ellen watched as his face turned a bright scarlet. "You're so

cute when you're flustered!"

lan's flush deepened, and then he paled as her words sank in. His fists clenched in fury. What did she mean by saying she liked him? She was only toying with his emotions.

With each passing moment, her smirk grew more pronounced as she watched his frustration escalate. Her eyes narrowed in amusement. She thought, "It would be quite satisfying to have him under my control and train him to my liking."

When Yvette returned from the restroom, she raised an eyebrow at the scene before her. Ian looked furious, while Ellen seemed to be enjoying herself immensely.

lan was typically very level-headed, so it was unusual for him to become so agitated. Yvette was intrigued by what Ellen had done to invoke such a reaction out of him.

"Yvie, let's go. I'll take you home!" The moment lan spotted her, he sprang to his feet, took her hand, and urged her to leave. His lips were pressed into a thin line. He couldn't stand being in the same room with that frivolous Ellen for even a second longer. The sight made Yvette wince, her head starting to ache. She let out an exasperated sigh

She couldn't help but wonder if lan and Ellen would be able to get along after she left Jubilife for

Yenosha.

As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, Yvette spotted two men standing by the entrance.

She blinked her beautiful eyes in surprise. "What are you two doing here together?"

Wilson and Xavier, who had been squaring off with their menacing bearings, suddenly relaxed and smiled, looking like the best of friends.

"We just happened to run into each other," Xavier said.

Samuel, watching from the side, couldn't help but think, "Wow, Mr. Quinn's acting skills are already impressive. But I didn't expect the vice president of the Dark Organization to be such a

talented actor either!"

"Xavier, you're so thoughtful! How did you know Yvette wanted a milkshake after dinner?"

Ellen, who was standing behind Yvette, noticed the milkshake in Xavier's hand. Of course, she wouldn't miss the chance to take a dig at Wilson. Chapter 665

"Unlike someone who didn't even bring a little something when he came to get Yvie."

Wilson's gaze deepened instantly, his brow creased in thought. However, considering Ellen's background, he remained silent and held back his words.

A soft smile graced Xavier's handsome features as he spoke with warmth and indulgence. "Yvie, give this a try. I ordered it with your preference in mind." "Thanks!" She accepted the milkshake but didn't drink it. After all, Wilson was very possessive and would get jealous easily.

Seeing that she wasn't planning to drink the milkshake, Wilson smiled and took her hand. "Baby,

let's go

home." She nodded and turned to Xavier and Ellen. "I'll see you tomorrow, Ellie."

A chilling frost settled over Xavier's eyes as Yvette made no move to rebuff Wilson's touch. He watched them leave, feeling a mix of emotions. He then turned to his subordinate and ordered, " Route the cargo through Jubilife."

His subordinate looked hesitant and said, "But Mr. Phillip, if we change the route now, it might-" Xavier interrupted him, his voice low and displeased. "Do you have a problem with my decision?" A shiver ran down the subordinate's spine as cold dread crept from his feet to the top of his head. He quickly shook his head. "No, I wouldn't dare! I'll do as you say, Mr. Phillip."
