Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

“Damn it, get out of my way!” Jake demanded.

Wilson’s cold, piercing gaze landed on Jake, who was bristling. So, this was the young man Collin mentioned?

Young, yes, but he was clearly just a kid. There was no way Yvette would go for someone like him.

“Let him through,” Wilson said.

The black–clad bodyguards immediately released their hold on jake, allowing him to approach Wilson.

For some reason, meeting Wilson’s gaze made Jake inexplicably apprehensive. Though he was intimidated, protecting Yvette outweighed his

fear.

“Let go of my boss…” Jake insisted. However, his confidence wavered instantly when he saw Yvette tightly embracing Wilson.

He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “Could you step aside? I need to take my boss back!”

Wilson’s expression remained unchanged, but his commanding presence made Jake instinctively fearful.

“That depends on who Yvie wants to go with.”

‘Ugo Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Of course, my boss will come with me!” Jake declared with confidence. “Just because she’s hugging you doesn’t mean she’ll go with you!”

“Is that so?” Wilson’s frigid demeanor sent shivers down Jake’s spine.

After suppressing his fear, Jake leaned closer to Yvette. “Boss, are you coming with me or him?”

Confident in their bond, Jake couldn’t believe Yvette would choose another man over him.

“Let’s go, boss. I’ll take you home” Before he could finish his sentence, Yvette pushed him away and said, “You’re so annoying. Go away

Yvette didn’t bother hiding her disdain for Jake. However, her arms remained tightly wrapped around Wilson’s waist, leaving no doubt about her choice.

Jake felt like a dagger had pierced his heart. He spoke with a pained expression, “Boss, given our relationship, you’re choosing him? What does he have that I don’t?”

Yvette, irritated by his whining, silenced him with a single sentence. “He’s better looking than you.”

Jake was speechless. Though he hated to admit it, it was the truth.

Wilson chuckled softly. He asked, “Do you Eke my face?”

“Kind of” Yvette pursed her lips, hertone proud when adding, “Not particularly”

“In that case, I’ll have to try harder.” Wilson’s smile deepened. His low, magnetic voice teased in her ear. “How about spending the night at my place tonight?”

Without hesitation, Yvette nodded in agreement. “Okay.” She didn’t want to go back to Murray Manor tonight.

Initially, Wilson had only been teasing Yvette, but her quick agreement surprised him. A hint of resignation flashed in his deep eyes, but more than that, there was a sense of indulgence.

“No more agreeing to stay with other men in the future, okay?”

Yvette blinked innocently. Mischief glinted in her beautiful eyes as she deliberately said, “Geezer, you’re so naggy!”

Yvette was deliberately provoking him again! Out of resignation, Wilson extended his hand to her.

His voice was lazy but with a hint of flirtation “Alright, this geezer won’t nag anymore. Come with me.”

After hesitating, Yvette placed her hand in his, letting him lead her away. As they disappeared into the distance, Jake still couldn’t believe what had just happened.

What just happened? Had Yvette really lett him behind like that?
