A Rose 339


    Jason’s words carried a clear threat, making Matt’s expression even grimmer.


    With renewed arrogance, the Yael contingent spoke up condescendingly.


    Jason started, “Mr. Rusell, your students have ndered ours with no proof whatsoever. We


    demand an exnation, or we won’t let this matter rest!”


    Zavier added fuel to the fire, yelling, “Indeed, Mr. Rusell, She must apologize to us!”


    They did not seem to believe that Matt would risk offending Yael University for the sake of one


    student.


    In the face of their arrogance, Yvette’s expression grew darker. When she was about to step


    forward, Matt stood protectively before her and spoke firmly, “Yvette didn’t nder you, nor will she


    apologize!”


    Yvette was a cherished student at their university, so Matt wouldn’t let her suffer any grievances


    unjustly. How dare these visitors demand an apology from her?


    Jason hadn’t expected Matt to continue defending Yvette even after his obvious threats, which only


    added to his anger. This time, he lowered his volume and spat another threat, “Mr. Rusell, do you


    want to offend Yael University for an ordinary student without backing?”


    Then, he shifted his malicious gaze onto Yvette. “As for you, I advise you to shut up and apologize


    now. Otherwise, Yael University won’t let you off easily-”


    Before he could even finish his sentence, he was rudely interrupted.


    “Who said Yvie has no backing?” Eustace looked impatient and eventually stood up. “And what are


    you trying to do to my apprentice?”

    Eustace’s words instantly caused another uproar.


    “Oh my God, Yvie is actually Dr. Marx’s precious and sole apprentice!”


    “This exins Dr. Marx’s sudden appearance at Jubilife University. It was all for Yvie!”


    “Considering Yvie’s skills, it’s fitting for her to be Dr. Marx’s apprentice!”


    Jason and the others were equally as shocked. They stared at Yvette in disbelief. They couldn’t


    believe she was the apprentice who Eustace treasured so much.


    Seeing the looks of admiration on everyone’s faces, Yvette realized that peace and quiet would be


    hard toe by now.


    “Yvie, you aren’t mad at me, are you?” Eustace carefully leaned closer toward Yvette with a fawning


    smile.


    He knew she disliked revealing her identity as his apprentice, so he hadn’t nned on revealing


    who she was. However, he couldn’t tolerate these idiots bullying her in front of him.


    Yvette rubbed her throbbing temples. “I’m not mad at you.”


    “I’m d!” Eustace immediately shed a glowing smile. “Then, return with me this time-”


    “No.” Yvette cut him off mercilessly.


    Upon hearing her rejection, Eustace’s face fell, and he looked as if he was going to wail.


    “Be quiet. Yvette felt exasperated and added, “Stop making a scene!”


    He might not mind embarrassing himself, but she certainly did!


    2/2


    Eustace’s expression turned even more sorrowful. However, he kept his mouth shut and only


    muttered pitifully, “Yvie, do you dislike me now? Did you think I embarrassed you…


    “Oh boy, my life is so difficult. It took me a lot of effort to find a precious apprentice..”
