A Rose 271


    Yvette was at a loss for words.


    It wasn’t her fault. Charlie’s sses were always scheduled for the first two periods in the morning.


    In the end, Yvette cated Charlie by giving him a rare, limited–edition anatomy book, which made


    him happily resume his lecture.


    After ss, Yvette stepped out and found Liam waiting for her again.


    This time, her ssmates didn’t squeal at the sight of them. Instead, their conversation was tinged


    with regret.


    “Tsk, poor Liam! Hees to Jubilife University daily, but it seems Yvie isn’t interested.”


    “I’m still rooting for them! Liam is the heartthrob of Vista University,, and Yvie is the campus belle of


    Jubilife University. Both are medical prodigies. If they got together, they’d be unstoppable in the


    medical field…”


    Had Yvette overheard, she would have pointed out that she was already a significant force in the


    medical field and didn’t need a partner to enhance her standing.


    “Alright, I’ve taught you everything you need to know. The rest is up to you to practice.”


    Yvette nned to leave straight after her tutoring session with Liam to avoid further


    misunderstandings, but he stopped her.


    “Wait… There’s something I need to tell you…”


    Yvette paused and looked at himzily. “Go ahead.”


    Liam frowned. His voice edged with Jension. “What’s your rtionship with Wilson Quinn?”


    Yvette’s eyes narrowed with impatience. “That’s a private matter, and It’s none of your concern.”


    “I didn’t mean to pry,” Liam rushed to rify. “But Wilson Quinn is dangerous and intimidating. He’s


    not a good person…”


    Before he could continue, Yvette cut him off with a cool, disinterested tone. “I’m aware.”


    “You are?” Liam looked at her in shock and confusion.


    “Yes,” Yvette nodded slightly, barely lifting her gaze. Her tone was nonchnt. “I actually appreciate


    that he’s not a good person because I’m not exactly a saint myself.”

    “You should practice on your own.” Yvette ignored Liam’s stunned expression and strode out of the


    lab.


    However, as soon as she stepped outside, her path was blocked.


    “You’re the shameless woman clinging to Liam, aren’t you?”


    Serena Sutton, adorned in glittering jewels, aggressively obstructed Yvette’s way, her face a mask


    of tant jealousy.


    Liam was distant and aloof by nature. Despite Serena’s attempts to get close, she had never


    exchanged a single word with him or even caught his attention.


    Yet now, Liam wasing to Jubilife University daily for Yvette and even bringing her breakfast!


    Serena’s fury was palpable.


    Yvette’s eyes shed with impatience. “Move aside.”


    “I won’t!” Serena stubbornly blocked her path, speaking fiercely, “I’m


    warning you to stay away from Liam. He’s the man I’ve set my sights


    on!


    “No one wants topete with you for him.”


    Yvette’s face remainedposed, but an icy coldness radiated from her, sending a shiver down


    Serena’s spine.


    Feeling the weight of Yvette’s intense air, Serena’s legs wobbled momentarily. Mortified by her own


    reaction, her expression darkened. How could she be intimidated by a mere country bumpkin?


    “Stop pretending. If you didn’t want topete with me, why are you seducing Liam? Making him


    travel from Vista University to Jubilife University daily and bringing you breakfast. Don’t pretend


    you’re not trying to steal him from me.”


    “Having a brain is a good thing. It’s a shame you don’t seem to possess one.”


    Wary of Serena’s behavior, Yvette directly sidestepped her and walked away.


    “Who are you calling brainless?” Serena, enraged, pursued her


    relentlessly. “Do you know who I am? I’m the eldest daughter of the Sutton family. Cross me, and I’ll


    make sure your life bes unbearable!”
