A Rose 341


    Upon witnessing this scene, Samuel struggled to hold back hisughter. After all, no one had dared


    to scold Wilson like this before.


    Wilson pressed his thumb against his other fingers while casually crossing his legs. He didn’t refute


    Jacob’s usations.


    He knew he deserved Jacob’s scolding for his indecent behavior.


    Jacob was still furious and deeply disgusted by Wilson for engaging in a rtionship with Yvette,


    who he had a significant age gap with.


    Jacob clenched his jaw tightly. “I’ve known you for years, but never thought you could be so


    shameless! You chose to be a scoundrel instead of a decent person.”


    Wilson did not back down. “Since I’vemitted to that role, I have no intention of letting go,” he


    replied nonchntly. His tone remained unwavering as he continued, “If you’re still angry, feel free


    to hit me.”


    Jacob scoffed. “In your dreams!”


    He wouldn’t hit Wilson, lest he go to Yvetteter with his injuries and y the victim yet again.


    Besides, a few punches wouldn’t be enough to vent Jacob’s anger!


    “You agreed to break off the engagement before, so we’re still going through with it-”


    Before Jacob could finish, Wilson interjected resolutely, “I’ve changed my mind. I won’t break off the


    engagement.”


    Yvette was destined to be his wife from birth, so Wilson had no intention of giving up on her.


    Jacob snorted and red at him grimly. “Whether you want to or not, the engagement will be


    annulled Stay away from Yvie. That’s also what my parents want.”


    Before Wilson could respond, Jacob continued coldly, “Get out. I don’t want to see you.”


    The thought of Wilson’s actions made Jacob’s anger surge, inciting his urge to punch him.


    However, hitting Wilson would only give him the excuse to y the victim in front of Yvette. Hence,


    Jacob held back his impulsion.

    Realizing that the negotiation had failed, Wilson strode out of the office.


    He rubbed his temples while pondering ways to win his future inws‘ favor.


    “Wow, that’s Mr. Quinn…”


    As Wilson walked away, the employees of Murray Corporation looked on with awe, gossiping


    amongst themselves in hushed tones.


    *Did you hear the argument in the office? The rumors must be true!”


    “Yeah, I can’t believe Mr. Murray and Mr. Quinn actually fought. Considering how battered Mr.


    Quinn’s face looks, Mr. Murray must’ve hit him pretty hard!”


    “Well, Mr. Quinn deserved it for breaking off his engagement with the Murray family. After all, Mr.


    Murray has always been very protective of his younger sister. Now that news about the


    engagement annulment has spread through high society, it won’t be long before it’s official…*


    With a creak from the door, Jacob walked out of his office with a stern expression. The employees


    immediately fell silent and acted as if they hadn’t just been gossiping.

    “Mr. Quinn…” Samuel, who stood at the doorway, hurried over to Wilson, who was making his way


    outside.


    Seeing Wilson’s displeased expression, he knew things hadn’t gone well. To avoid provoking


    Wilson, he lowered his head to make himself less noticeable.


    He had just returned from Wakara and didn’t want to be sent back.


    “What’s the progress of the tasks I assigned you?” Wilson’s cold and deep voice broke the silence.


    “Mr. Quinn, I’ve prepared everything as you instructed,” Samuel reported respectfully. “I’ll head to


    Jubilife University shortly.”
