Talented Heiress A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson) novel Chapter 687

"I know." Xavier nodded, a faint smile lingering at the corner of his lips. He was clearly in a good mood. He also knew that Yvette intended to cancel her engagement with Wilson.

Ellen frowned as she looked at him, her expression unusually serious. "Xavier, Yvie really likes Wilson. You should back off!" While she didn't think Wilson was unworthy of Yvette, it was evident that Yvette was very fond of him.

As soon as Ellen said this, the smile on Xavier's face disappeared instantly, his gaze turning cold. "Ellen, you shouldn't interfere in this matter."

"Xavier, I initially supported you, but given the current situation, Yvie has chosen to protect Wilson, which is enough to prove her feelings for him!" Ellen sighed, trying to persuade him.

"So, Xavier, please back off. Otherwise, once Yvie finds out that you've been the one obstructing her, you won't even be able to remain friends!"

They had known each other for so many years and had gone through life and death together. Yvette and Xavier were important to her, and she didn't want to see them turn against each other!

"Ellen, I know what I'm doing. Just stay out of it." Xavier's eyes were sharp as he dismissed her. He exuded a cold presence, sending chills down one's spine.

What he wanted wasn't just to be friends with Yvie. He would never back down!

…

At Murray Manor, Yvette was feeling uneasy and had no desire to sleep, so she put away her phone and prepared to head to the research institute. Just as she went downstairs, she happened to run into Alex, whom Irwin had picked up from the hospital.

Upon seeing Yvette, Alex's teeth clenched in anger, and he coldly snorted.

"Yvie?" Irwin looked at Yvette in surprise. Although surprised, his tone was still gentle. "Why are you still up so late?"

Yvette's beautiful fox-like eyes were filled with mockery as she scoffed, "You think you're worthy to be my elder?"

Alex was so enraged by her contempt that he trembled, slapping his wheelchair angrily. "Look at the daughter you've raised! She's disrespectful and has no upbringing. She doesn't deserve to stay in the Murray family—"

"Dad, don't forget what you promised me in the hospital," Upon hearing Alex speak ill of Yvette, Irwin impatiently interrupted him, his expression darkening. "You agreed not to argue with Yvie anymore if I brought you home!"

"Would you have brought me back if I hadn't pretended to agree?" Alex scoffed heavily, his gaze toward Yvette growing even darker.

"You're all enchanted by her! I want you to see her true colors! I'm telling you, she's a jinx! She caused the death of that woman who raised her in the countryside!

"Now that she's back in the Murray family, she wants to bring about my downfall! You all need to kick her out of the family immediately!"
