A Rose 258


    In Croedal, the pressure to be grateful to elderly parents could be overwhelming. This often left


    most people feeling burdened.


    Yvette stoodzily to the side, not saying a word. Her delicate, fair face showed no expression, yet


    she somehow appeared intimidating.


    Alex’s face looked even more sickly than when shest saw him. It wouldn’t be long before his


    illness red up. Once it did, he’d suffer immensely!

    As for Yasmin, she had plenty of ways to deal with her,


    “Mom, you’re weak right now and need to rest. We won’t disturb you any longer.”


    After all the turmoil, Yara felt exhausted both physically and mentally. She nodded and said gently, ”


    Alright, Yvie, you should get some rest too. You’ve had a hard day.”


    As Yvette stepped out of the room, Jacob caught up with her. He gently patted her head; his voice


    was steeped in apology.


    “Yvie, I’m sorry you had to go through this today.”


    Jacob’s concern washed over Yvette like a warm wave, and a gentle smile bloomed on her lips.


    “Jacob, I’m not upset.”


    She had always been someone who sought revenge and found ways to get even. No one could


    push her around!


    Jacob’s heart ached with love and guilt as he listened. His sister was so sweet and considerate.


    She had been wronged, but she put on a brave face to make him feel better!


    With a determined glint in his eyes, Jacob vowed, “Yvie, I promise you. I’ll never let anyone hurt you


    again.” He couldn’t just let this slide. No one was going to make his sister suffer.


    Yvette had just returned to her room when she received a message from the Dark Organization.


    Dark Organization: “Ms. Murray, we have something very interesting to tell you.”


    Yvette’s curiosity was piqued. Her fingers flew across the keypad to reply. “What is it?”


    Dark Organization: “Ms. Murray, get a load of this! Some moron dropped 20 million dors on a hit


    on you! Can you believe it? It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?”


    Yvette read the message with a bored nce, her eyebrows rising slightly. “Have you found out


    who ced the order?” she typed.


    Dark Organization: “Yes, we have. It’s Yasmin from the Murrays, the wealthiest family in Jubilife.”


    As expected! It was her.


    Yvette was not at all surprised by the news. The icy glint in her mesmerizing eyes intensified. “Reply


    to her that the Dark Organization has epted this order.”
