Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Ellen inserted a straw into the glass of milk before handing it to Yvette. "No, sweetie. You can't drink alcohol. If Mr. Maximillian finds out I let you have alcohol, I'm going to be in so much trouble."

Yvette was a treasure to Theodore-and to all of them.

At that moment, Yvette's phone buzzed Realizing it was lan calling, she quickly stood up. The noise on the second floor was loud, so she told Ellen she'd be right back and headed toward the restroom to take the call.

"Hey, lan," she said warmly when she picked up. Ian's heart softened as he thought about his precious little sister. How could she be so sweet and innocent?

"Yvie, where are you right now? I'll come and take you home."

Yvette, not one for lying, replied honestly, "I'm at a bar with some friends."

Jan furrowed his brows and replied, "What? Bars are a dangerous place. I'm on my way to you." Before Yvette could protest, he hung up and rushed out the door.

Sighing at the abrupt end to the call, Yvette tucked her phone away and prepared to leave the restroom

Just then, the door swung open, and a group of heavily made-up women walked in. If Yvette hadn't reacted quickly, she would have collided with them.

As they caught sight of her stunning face, their expressions shifted to surprise. Among them was Annie, who recognized Yvette as the woman who caught Collin's attention earlier.

Collin couldn't see Yvette's face clearly from where he was sitting earlier, but Annie was standing in the doorway so she had a full view.

Annie's jealousy flared as she remembered how Collin stared at Yvette. With a scowl, she stepped forward and snapped, "Are you blind? You nearly ran into me!"

Yvette refused to back down from Annie's provocation. "You almost bumped into me," she replied coolly.

"What? You ran into me. You're the one at fault!" Annie shot back, her irritation growing. "You néed to apologize to me right now!"

The other women behind Annie quickly chimed in eager to support her. "Yeah, we all saw it. You bumped into Anníe. Do you have any idea how expensive her outfit is? You've ruined it." "Exactly! Annie is so kind-hearted. She's only asking for an apology instead of demanding you to Chapter 653

pay for the damages."

"Come on, hurry up and apologize!"

Yvette raised an eyebrow and scoffed. "I'll consider letting you off if you beg for my forgiveness

now."

"Are you serious? You want me to apologize?" Annie's expression darkened as she glared at Yvette. "Do you have a death wish?"noveldrama

Yvette narrowed her eyes and replied in annoyance, "The one with a death wish is you. Now, get

lost."

"Annie, did she actually just talk to you like that?" someone exclaimed.

"She obviously doesn't respect you at 11! You need to teach her a lesson!" another chimed in.

"Yeah! She deserves to be punished for offending Annie."
