Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Over the next few days, Yvette stayed at the Gray House, focusing on managing Evelynn's

illness.

Her condition was visibly improving, and she no longer looked frail and sickly. Her face now lit up with the kind of joy and energy you would expect from a child her age.

She had also grown very close to Yvette, letting her guard down and becoming increasingly dependent on her.

"Yvette, the weather is nice today. Can I go out and play in the sun?"

Evelynn, with her sweet and innocent look, was like a beautiful doll. Her hopeful gaze made it impossible for Yvette to say no to her request.

“Sure, but remember to limit your time in the sun since you're still weak." Yvette gently pinched her little face with her pale fingers, speaking softly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and only stay outside for a bit!"

Evelynn's pale face was beaming with a radiant smile. She sat obediently in the wheelchair as a staff member pushed her to the garden.

"Oh, it's so beautiful! And it feels so warm." Her smile grew even brighter as she spoke sincerely.

"Yvette, I used to always wonder why I hadn't died-why I was still alive. The pain I felt was unbearable. Being locked in the basement, injected with drugs every day it was pure torture. I constantly wished for an end to it all.

“But it's different now. I have a family. Because of my family and you, Yvette, I've discovered the beauty of life. I want to live and grow up strong so that one day, I can be the one who protects you."

As Yvette listened to Evelynn's words, her heart felt a pang of sadness.noveldrama

If she couldn't obtain the drug developed by DY Organization and create an antidote, Evelynn's condition would deteriorate. Her organs would fail, and she would likely not live more than six months.

And then there were the other children taken by DY Organization as test subjects. All of them would eventually suffer from organ failure and die.

"Yes, Evelynn. You will grow up to be happy and healthy." Yvette set aside her complicated emotions and offered her sincere blessings.

Evelynn had already suffered enough. Yvette only hoped the young girl had nothing but joy and happiness ahead of her.

Evelynn's weak body couldn't handle being outside for too long, so she was taken back inside by the staff.

Yvette also decided to head back to the hotel to check on Madison and the others. As soon as she got into the car, she received a message from Jake.

"Boss, Victoria has been behaving herself. She goes to Quinn Manor every day to visit Mrs. Quinn Senior. There's nothing suspicious about her behavior. Boss, should I keep watching

her?"

Yvette's beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed slightly as she typed out a response with her slender

fingers.

"Continue keeping an eye on her."

As Jake read the message, he didn't quite understand Yvette's intentions. But he still followed her orders without question.

"Okay, boss!"

"Ms. Murray, we're here." The driver's tone was respectful as he spoke.

Yvette nodded, and with her long, slender legs, stepped out of the car.

Estelle happened to be walking out at the same time and caught the whole scene. She gave a disdainful snort, her arrogance almost palpable.

She thought to herself, "That pauper's riding in such a plain car! How utterly poor and squalid! Unlike me—I'm chauffeured around in luxury cars every day. All the noble scions are falling over themselves to please me!"

Estelle owed it all to her high status. It was a privilege that lowlife, Yvette, would never attain

in this lifetime.

Thinking about this, Estelle's attitude became even more haughty. Her gaze toward Yvette

grew venomous.

She had to win the International Medical Congress competition this year to gain her family's recognition. Only then could she become the true heiress of the Locke family. She wanted to forever bask in the adoration of the masses.

Estelle's smug expression vanished when she saw the Gray House insignia on the car. Why was that bitch coming out of the Gray House car?

Last time, a Gray House car picked Yvette up, and this time, it dropped her off.

Estelle's mind was suddenly filled with a sense of panic and unease. Could it be that Yvette had used her alluring face to seduce Jordan?

It had to be true. Otherwise, that slut wouldn't have dared to lay a finger on her! Chapter 766

Estelle bit her lip in frustration. She couldn't allow Yvette to become involved with the Locke family. If that happened, Yvette could easily poison Jordan's mind and ruin her chances of being recognized by the family.

The mere thought of the possible outcome made Estelle furious. She took a step forward, ready to slap Yvette across the face.

"You shameless vixen! I'll kill you, you slut-",

A look of triumph lit up in Estelle's eyes as her hand neared Yvette's face. She kept her nails razor-sharp so a single slap would leave deep scratches on Yvette's face.

Without that vixen-like face, Yvette would no longer be able to seduce men!

"Ouch!"

Estelle was feeling smug when Yvette made her move, fiercely grabbing her hovering arm. With a sickening crack of bone, Estelle let out a blood-curdling

scream.

"That hurts! Yvette, let go

of me!"

Estelle's eyes welled up with tears as she glared at Yvette with pure hatred.

"You'll pay for this! If you cross me, the Locke family won't let you get away with

it!"

Yvette's mesmerizing fox-like eyes narrowed into slits as she leveled a frigid glare at Estelle. She spent several days at the Gray House without encountering Estelle

or hearing her name mentioned. Her claim of being the heiress of the Locke family was questionable.

Yvette's lips curled into a mocking smile as she spoke, her words dripping with sarcasm.

"You can fool others, but don't fool yourself."

The words struck Estelle like a blow to the gut, and her face paled as a look of

sheer terror spread across her features.

Why would she say that? Could Yvette have discovered something?
