A Rose 352


    As soon as Yvette exited the car, Jacob, Sean, and Ashton gently pulled her toward their side. They


    red at Wilson and guarded Yvette from him as if he were some threat.


    Wilson helplessly rubbed his temples and greeted them politely. “Jacob, Sean, Ashton, I brought


    Yvette home.”


    Upon hearing his respectful tone, Sean and Ashton were shocked but gradually felt pleased.


    Although they were still unhappy with him, they actually felt great to see Wilson defer to them.


    After all, they used to be the ones deferring to Wilson.


    However, Jacob’s expression grew grimmer. He scoffed and said, “I’m one year younger than you.


    You don’t have to be so respectful toward me.”


    Yvette raised her eyebrows slightly with exasperation. Jacob really knew how to push Wilson’s


    button by bringing up age!


    Sure enough, Jacob’s words hit the mark. Wilson clenched his teeth and narrowed his eyes as a


    dangerous air radiated from him.


    But when he saw Yara and Irwin, his expression changed immediately. He greeted them politely,


    “How are you, Mr. and Mrs. Murray?”


    Yara and Irwin responded coldly, “We’re fine. You don’t need to keep visiting. Larry, see him out!”


    Even Yvette’s parents weren’t fond of Wilson.


    Yvette couldn’t help but click her tongue softly. For some reason, she felt sorry for Wilson.


    Without giving Wilson a chance to speak, Yara and Irwin led Yvette inside Murray Manor. The


    helplessness in Wilson’s eyes deepened, but he could only watch them take Yvette away.


    As Samuel approached and saw this, he shook his head and felt bad for Wilson. With none of the


    Murrays being fond of Wilson, it would be even more challenging for him to marry Yvette.


    Wilson withdrew his gaze and asked sternly, “How is the task I gave you going?”


    Samuel respectfully replied, “Mr. Quinn, I learned that Mr. Murray fancies antiques. On the other


    hand, Mrs. Murray is fond of nts, especially the rare and precious ones.


    “Got it,” Wilson nodded thoughtfully. Then, he said, “I remember there’s an auctioning up in a


    few days. Make sure we get a spot.”


    Normally, Wilson never attended these auctions. But Samuel knew Wilson was joining this time to


    buy gifts for his future inws.


    Thus, Samuel replied, “I understand, Mr. Quinn.”


    The next day, as soon as Yvette reached campus, she received a phone call from Jake.


    “Boss, we have a situation. Someone uploaded a video of you and the Murphy family online!


    Everyone is criticizing you now!”


    “Really?” Yvette feebly raised her eyebrow. She took out her phone and logged into Twitter.


    Indeed, the inte was full of people condemning her

    her adoptive parents?” someonemented.


    “Yeah, she’s such an ungrateful brat! No matter what, her adoptive parents raised her. How could


    she treat them like that?”


    “Exactly, I heard she’s a student at Jubilife University. How can they have such a poorly behaved


    student? She should be expelled immediately!”
