A Rose 407


    Upon hearing Alice’s shameless words, Yvette’s gaze grew even colder. “You deserve far worse


    than what you did to Madison.”


    Yvette was fiercely protective of those close to her. If Alice had the nerve to harm someone she


    cared about, she had to be ready to face the brutal consequences.


    Alice’s eyes widened in disbelief as the truth dawned on her. “So, you are why the Murray family


    pulled out their investment. You did it to get back at me?”


    Yvette nodded, her tone nonchnt. “Yes. And this is just the beginning.”


    Whatever Alice did to Madison, Yvette would ensure Alice paid for it a hundredfold.


    “You… You wretched bitch! You’ve ruined my family!” Alice lost control and suddenly lunged at


    Yvette. Her


    hands stretched to w at thetter’s face.


    “You worthless-”


    Just then, Yara appeared, her expression darkening as she took in the scene. She rushed forward,


    instinctively pulling Yvette behind her.


    “Yvette, don’t be afraid. I’m here to protect you!”


    Alice hadn’t expected Yara’s sudden appearance, and the shock of it snapped her back to reality.


    She froze, no longer daring to move forward.


    Molly, who had followed closely behind, saw what was happening, and her face paled. She shot her


    daughter a furious re before quickly stepping forward, trying to smooth things over.


    “Mrs. Murray, there must’ve been a misunderstanding.”


    Unlike the gentle tone she had with Yvette, Yara turned to both Molly and Alice with a fierce re,


    exuding the authority of a true matriarch.


    “Get out of my house! Let me make one thing clear–the Murray family will not only pull our


    investment in the Robertson family, we’re cklisting youpletely. Your family shall head for


    bankruptcy! How dare youy a hand on my precious daughter? I’ll make sure you pay for this.”


    “Mrs. Murray…” Molly tried to plead, but before she could finish, Yara had already called for


    security.


    The guards quickly arrived and forcefully escorted Molly and Alice out of Murray Manor.


    Molly had never been so humiliated in her life. Seething with rage, she turned to Alice and pped


    her hard across the face.


    “I told you to get close to Ms. Murray. You fool! Not only did you mess it up, but you’ve also made


    the Murray family hate us to the core!”


    “Mom, it’s all that wretched Yvette’s fault.” Alice whimpered, clutching her face as she started to cry.


    She’s the one who ruined our family…”

    “Shut up!” Molly snapped, her eyes filled with fury. “The Murray family dotes on Yvette, and you still


    dare insult her? Do you want to make things even worse for us?


    “The Murray family alone can push us to the brink of bankruptcy. Don’t forget they are engaged to


    the Quinn family. If the Murrays have the Quinns take action, we’ll be destroyed.”


    Molly continued in frustration, “You’ve ruined any chance we had with the Murray family. Now, with


    the investment gone, you shall be married off to Mr. Luiz.”


    “No! Mom, please…” Alice’s body trembled with fear, and she sobbed even harder. “Please, don’t


    make me marry Mr. Luiz.”


    Benedict Luiz was in his 40s–old, ugly, and known for his violent tendencies. He’d already been


    through three wives, all dead. If she were to marry him, her life would be over.


    “You don’t have a choice!”
