A Rose 408


    Molly angrily stormed off after saying those words. She then turned around and got into the car


    without sparing Alice a second nce.


    “Mom…” Alice chased after Molly, but Molly suddenly shoved her aside with force. “Get lost! You’re


    nothing but a useless failure!”


    Alice was roughly pushed aside and fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled. Hurt and


    humiliated, she bit her lip, the resentment welling up inside her. It was all that bitch Yvette’s fault.


    Alice struggled to her feet, the malice in her eyes deepening as her pupils darted around.


    The prestigious families of Jubilife were abuzz with rumors that Wilson was interested in Victoria. If


    Wilson called off the engagement with the Murray family, then Yvette would surely be the


    laughingstock in Jubilife.


    Moreover, Victoria was a fool who treated Alice like a friend. If Victoria could get together with


    Wilson, Alice could beg her to help the Robertson family. After all, Victoria was easily manipted,


    so she would surely agree to help.


    That way, Alice wouldn’t have to marry that disgusting, obese man, Benedict.


    After Jacob returned, he learned about the incident from Yara.


    His face darkened with anger. How dare the Roberston family bully the precious daughter of the


    Murray family? He swore to make them pay for their actions.


    “Jacob.”


    Upon hearing the gentle voice, Jacob quickly wiped the scowl off his face and reced it with an


    I you-”


    affectionate smile. His tone softened as he said, “Yvie, I have a gift fo


    Before he could finish speaking, Yvette interrupted, “Jacob, I need to step out for a moment. We


    can talk


    Yvette had just received a message from Winston, who was waiting for her at the back door of


    Murray Manor. She needed to meet him quickly so that he would leave. If Jacob learned that Wilson


    was here, they would surely get into another argument.


    As Jacob watched Yvette walk away, he reluctantly put the exquisite gift box back into his pocket.


    He turned to his assistant standing nearby and whispered, “Do you think Yvie will like the


    ne?”


    His assistant couldn’t help but wonder who wouldn’t love the ne. It was designed by Yvy


    Weaver and cost 50 million dors. The gems were all of the highest quality, worth millions


    themselves.


    “Mr. Murray, Yvy Weaver’s designs are exceptional. The ne she designed is even more


    stunning than the Violet Kiss ne auctioned off earlier. You can be confident that Ms. Murray


    will like it.” Hearing this, Jacob’s lips curled into a faint smile. Once Yvette saw this ne, she


    would surely dismiss the Violet Kiss that Winston had gifted her.

    But why was Yvette in such a hurry? Something wasn’t right. A look of concern shed across


    Jacob’s face as he immediately chased after Yvette.


    Meanwhile, Yvette had reached the back door. Just as she was about to nce back, a pair of


    hands suddenly gripped her waist tightly.
