A Rose 334


    Jacob added gently, “I’ll also pick you up after ss. If there’s anywhere you want to go after that,


    I’ll go with you.”


    Yvette finally came to a realization. Jacob was trying to prevent her from meeting Wilson. She lightly


    clicked her tongue in disapproval.


    “It’s fine, Jacob. I cane home by myself after ss. I don’t want to trouble you.”


    Jacob did not relent. “Yvie, I told you that I like it when you trouble me. It’s a deal, okay?”


    Just as Yvette was going to reject Jacob again, he lightly pushed his sses up and put on his most


    endearing puppy eyes.


    “Yvie, do you hate me? Do you not want to see me, or allow me to pick you up from school?”


    Yvette didn’t have the heart to reject him. She ended up epting his offer to chauffeur her to


    campus and back.


    Ashton and Sean inwardly cursed vulgarities as they observed the events unfold.


    The two hadn’t expected Jacob to be such a pretentious person, too! They were determined to learn


    from Jacob’s ways.


    30 minutester, Jacob’s car stopped outside Jubilife University.


    After seeing Yvette off, the gentle expression on Jacob’s face morphed into an icy re. He looked


    at Ashton and Sean coldly.


    “Remember what I told you. If you can’t stop Wilson this time, you’re not going to like what I do to


    you after.”


    Ashton and Sean couldn’t help but shudder. They immediately nodded and said, “Don’t worry,


    Jacob. This time, we’ll keep a close eye on Yvie.”


    They would never give Wilson a chance to get close to Yvette.


    When Yvette reached her ssroom, the noisy atmosphere instantly turned silent.


    “You’re here, Yvie!”


    vette’s ssmates surrounded her like a flock of birds.


    “It’s such a pity that you took a leave of absence yesterday, Yvie. Not long after you left, Mr. Rusell


    came to our ss with Dr. Marx!”


    “Yeah, you left too early. Otherwise, you would’ve met Dr. Marx too!”


    Yvette raised her brows at the news. She felt relieved that she decided to leave ss early


    yesterday. Eustance would’ve bothered her endlessly had he caught sight of her.


    “Silence, now!” Charlie yelled as he walked into the ssroom. “We’ll be having that friendly


    competition with Yael University today. We all know that the people from Yael University look down


    on us, so we must win thepetition and earn their respect!”


    “Professor Lawrence is right. We must win with flying colors and prove Yael University wrong!”


    “Yes! We have to win!”


    Charlie nodded in satisfaction. Then, he said to Madison, “Ms. Kennedy, don’t be nervous about the


    friendly match. Just do your best. We have faith in you.


    University and Jubilife University had to each send a representative to participate in the medical


    exchange. Undoubtedly, Liam would be representing Vista University.


    Charlie initially intended to select Yvette as the representative for Jubilife University, but she refused


    to participate. Left with no choice, Charlie chose Madison instead.


    Madison wasn’t exceptionally gifted in medicine, but not everyone was a genius like Yvette.


    Madison was pretty good in her own right. She was usually a quiet and gentle girl.


    She nodded hard at Charlie’s encouragement. “I’ll do my best, Professor Lawrence. I won’t bring


    shame to Jubilife University!”


    “Very well,” Charlie replied, nodding his approval. “Now, let’s all head to thepetition venue.”

    Just as Yvette was about to sneak out, Charlie caught her red–handed. “Yvette, Mr. Rusell told me


    to definitely bring you along!”
