A Rose 345


    Jasper was feeling the full brunt of true disappointment at that moment.


    He held his chest and asked in confusion, “Why is my brother suddenly so nice to them? Why is he


    going out of his way to please them?”


    Normally, they would be the ones to curry favor with Wilson. But for some reason, the roles had


    now


    reversed.


    Furthermore, Ashton and Sean didn’t appreciate the gesture, even coldly rejecting Wilson’s efforts.


    Jasper found it very strange. After all, Ashton and Sean used to fear Wilson as much as he did.


    Samuel said, “Mr. Jasper, this will happen more often from now on. You need to get used to it…”


    It would be hard for Wilson to get close to Yvette if he couldn’t win over her brother’s favor, after all.


    Seeing Sean and Ashton walk away without waiting for him, Jasper didn’t probe Samuel further.


    Instead, he hurried after them. “Hey, wait for me!”


    “What’s wrong with you two? Why are you being so cold to me today? Aren’t we friends?” Jasper


    voiced his displeasure after catching up with them.


    Seeing Jasper’s face, which looked eerily simr to Wilson’s, Sean and Ashton grew irritated.


    “Stay away from us! We don’t want to see you!”


    Jasper was dumbfounded by this reaction. He wondered if they had discovered his sneaky n to


    pursue


    Yvette.


    Feeling diffident, Jasper remained quiet. Sean and Ashton, on the other hand, couldn’t be bothered


    by him/ and thus failed to notice his unease.


    After walking a distance away, Ashton said, “Sean, I’ll go find Yvie first.”


    Sean nodded and replied, “Alright, I’ll join you after I feed Ginger.” They were determined not to give


    Wilson the chance to approach Yvette.


    As Sean turned the corner, he unexpectedly ran into Victoria.


    “Hey, we meet again!” Victoria’s eyes sparkled with excitement. With a smile, she yfully winked


    at him. I brought catnip this time. Ginger shouldn’t scratch me now, right?”


    Her cheerful smile somewhat eased Sean’s earlier irritation. “I’m sure it’ll like you a lot now.”


    “That’s great!” Victoria smiled happily, but she stiffened as soon as they reached the garden.


    The usually lively Gingery motionless on the ground. It had been brutally killed. Its body was


    gruesomely opened with its internal organs spilling out. This was clearly a result of deliberate


    cruelty.


    “How… How could this happen?”


    Victoria’s face turned deathly pale. Her clear doe–like eyes welled up with tears.


    “Don’t look…” Sean struggled to keep hisposure while covering Victoria’s eyes. He couldn’t


    bear to see the horrific state of Ginger.


    He spoke through gritted teeth, “I’ll find out who did this and make sure they pay!”

    “Yvie, you really made us proud today. Those arrogant Yeel University kids always looked down on


    us because of their international reputation. Today, you put them in their ce! Let’s see if they still


    act so superior around us.”


    Nancy excitedly chattered away while clinging to Yvette’s arm. However, she immediately fell silent


    when she saw a distinguished man from afar.


    “Wilson Quinn? What is he doing at Jubilife University


    Before Nancy could finish expressing her surprise, the imposing Wilson strode toward them. His


    charmingly devilish face softened as he took Yvette’s beg, and he casually held her hand.
