Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns



Chapter 626

Wilson watched as Yvette let go of his hand and turned toward Ellen without hesitation. He clenched his jaw, grinding his teeth. His large hand tightly gripped her wrist, unwilling to release her.

"Baby, you've already spent the whole night with her."

Yvette was amused hearing his low, magnetic voice that was laced with obvious frustration. However, she was helpless by the situation. "If I don't go over, Ellie will say I'm a bad friend for choosing a relationship over friendship."

Wilson still couldn't bring himself to let go.noveldrama

Yvette stared at him for a few seconds before speaking slowly, "I'll make it up to you once we're back in Jubilife."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wilson finally released her wrist. His captivating, soulful eyes gazed at her tenderly and affectionately. "Alright, I'll wait for your 'compensation' back in Jubilife."

Yvette hummed in reply. Her lips curled into a faint smile before she turned and walked toward Ellen without looking back.

Samuel, standing nearby, witnessed the whole scene. He couldn't help but silently sigh in his heart.

"Tsk, the way Ms. Yvette talks, it really sounds like she's just making empty promises. Yet Mr. Quinn seems to believe it wholeheartedly!" he thought.

"Sweetie, I knew you'd choose chicks over dicks!"

Ellen's smile deepened at the sight of Yvette walking toward her. She wrapped her arm around Yvette's slim waist, throwing a smug glance in Wilson's direction, as if flaunting her triumph.

She knew it! In Yvette's heart, she was more important!

Watching Ellen's arm snaked around Yvette's waist, Wilson's gaze darkened, and he gritted his teeth.

Standing off to the side, Samuel almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Mr. Quinn sure has it tough! Before this, he had to compete with the five brothers of the Murray family for Ms. Yvette's attention. Now that they're all busy and can't cling to her, a close friend has appeared. Ms. Yvette really is in high demand!" he thought.

"Ellie, I need to discuss something with you," Yvette said inside the car.

"Sure, sweetie, go ahead," Ellen said. She still had her arm around Yvette's slender waist, reluctant to let go. "Your waist is so tiny, it's driving me crazy! If only I were a man, I'd have you all to myself!"

Feeling a bit ticklish from Ellen's wandering hands, Yvette placed her delicate hand over Ellen's, stopping her. "Ellie, I need to go to Zaria soon, and I need you to come to Jubilife and temporarily take my place at the research institute," she said straight to the point.

She had to go to Zaria, no question about it. She needed to uncover why the DY Organization had relentlessly hunted her down. She had a nagging feeling that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Her biggest concern about going to Zaria was the research institute. Barnabus was still recuperating in the hospital and wouldn't be able to return to the lab for a while. If she left, Ian would have to handle the high-intensity research alone, and she feared it would overwhelm him.

Ellen, being one of the top figures in the scientific field, was someone she could trust to temporarily take her place.

"Don't worry, sweetie. With me handling things, you can rest assured!" Knowing how much Yvette valued the chip research, Ellen didn't hesitate to agree.

However, she soon looked at Yvette with concern. "But sweetie, Zaria isn't exactly safe right now. And given your special identity, if you get exposed... I'm really worried about you going there alone!"

Yvette smiled, her lips curling with a hint of nonchalance, but her tone carried an air of arrogance. "Ellie, if my identity were so easily exposed, I wouldn't be worthy of being the president of our organization anymore."
