A Rose 359


    Hearing Wilson call Yvette “Baby,” Jake clenched his fists in anger.


    “How dare he call the boss ‘Baby‘!” he thought.


    “I know you’re my boss‘ fiancé!” Jake said, scoffing, his voice heavy with disdain. “But it’s just a


    family arrangement; my boss doesn’t take it seriously. She was even considering breaking off the


    engagement!”


    “Jake…”


    Yvette tried to interrupt him, but it was toote; Jake had already blurted it out. She raised a hand to


    massage her temples, feeling a headacheing.


    “Break off the engagement?” Wilson’s dark pupils constricted, and his handsome face was suddenly


    shrouded in a thickyer of ice.


    “Yvie, do you want to break off the engagement?” he questioned.


    “No.”


    Sensing the man’s rising agitation, Yvette blinked and held his hand, softly exining, “That was a


    decision made before I knew you were my fiancé. I dismissed that idea once I found out the truth.”


    As Yvette spoke, the violent emotions swirling within Wilson instantly dissipated. He wrapped his


    large hand around her slender waist, his deep, maic voice coaxing her. “Baby, then tell him


    what our rtionship is.”


    Watching them being lovey–dovey, Jake was at a loss for words, and he rolled his eyes


    dramatically.


    He wondered if this was the notorious figure everyone in Jubilife City feared. He looked more like a


    charmer!


    Jake couldn’t hold back any longer. He gritted his teeth as he said, “You better let go of my boss


    now, or I swear I’ll take action against you!”


    The members of the Dark Organization were not to be trifled with if they knew about this. The burly


    men in ck behind Jake eyed Wilson warily, clearly ready to act at a moment’s notice.


    Wilson recognized the Dark Organization’s emblem on their clothing. His eyes narrowed slightly. He


    wondered how Yvette was involved with the Dark Organization..


    Yvette quickly intervened, “Jake, don’t be stupid; he’s my fiancé.”

    “Boss, you’re taking this engagement seriously?” Jake eximed in disbelief.


    “Of course I am.”


    Wilson’s deep, resonant voice left no room for doubt, asserting his im with a domineering


    presence. Yvie is my fiancée!” he repeated.


    Seeing Yvette not refute Wilson’s words and instead ept them, Jake felt the shock of his life, as


    if the sky was falling.


    His boss had truly fallen for Wilson!


    He sensed something was different about hertely, but he had never thought it was because of


    Wilson.


    The members of the Dark Organization would surely cause chaos in Jubilife City if they found out


    Yvette had been captivated by a man.


    Meanwhile, Julian and Cynthia’s faces grew even darker, their fear intensifying.


    “Serena, didn’t you say she was just a country bumpkin


    Before she could finish her sentence, a cold voice bellowed, “How dare you call the Murray family’s


    princess a country bumpkin?”


    Jacob strode in with long strides, his dark and unfriendly expression leaving a sense of dread in his


    wake. He had rushed over as soon as he heard about the situation, fearing his precious sister might


    be bullied
