Talented Heiress A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson) novel Chapter 708

A splash of ice-cold water shocked Nancy back to consciousness, the freezing sting biting into her wounds and amplifying the pain. A scream escaped her lips as she couldn't endure the pain.

The cry was cut short as rough hands clamped around her throat, choking her.

The man's cold and venomous voice rang in her ear, dripping with malice.

"What's wrong? Can't handle a little pain? Did you ever stop to think how much Ms. Olson suffered when you hurt her?"

Nancy's vision blurred as she struggled, her face turning ghostly pale from the crushing grip.

Yet, even amid her torment, Lionel's twisted smile only grew darker, his hands tightening with sadistic pleasure.

"You insulted Ms. Olson and made her suffer. This is your punishment! Ms. Olson is kind and beautiful—she's the only one worthy of Mr. Quinn. And Yvette? What is she compared to Ms. Olson? How dare she try to compete with her?"

Nancy's breath came in desperate gasps as the hands tightened around her neck, but she still managed to glare defiantly at Lionel.

"You're out of your mind! That conniving bitch, Victoria, is nothing compared to Yvie. Luckily, Wilson never had eyes on that bitch to begin with."

"I won't allow you to insult Ms. Olson!"

Lionel's expression darkened, his eyes fixed on Nancy with an intensity that could tear through her. "Anyone who harms Ms. Oslon will pay the price. Today, both you and Yvette shall die!"

Although Lionel hated to admit it, Yvette's abilities far exceeded his, and he knew he didn't stand a chance against her. In his desperation, he went with a different tactic. He abducted Nancy to threaten Yvette.

Lionel's plan worked perfectly. Now that he managed to capture Nancy, all he had to do was wait for Yvette to fall into his trap.

Lionel smirked after checking his watch. Next, he raised his hand and struck Nancy unconscious.

…

Half an hour later, Yvette's car pulled up at the destination. She drove fast enough to make it there in record time.

As soon as she stepped out, she spotted Nancy bound to another vehicle. Her head was lowered, seemingly unconscious. It was impossible to see her face.

Yvette's face flickered with concern, and she rushed forward to free Nancy from her restraints. As her fingers brushed against the ropes, a hidden trap sprang to life, releasing a cloud of toxic gas into the air.

"Ha! You fell right into my trap, Yvette."

Lionel laughed triumphally behind her, narrating, "This poison has no antidote. Once inhaled, it will leave you powerless and in agony until the end. You're doomed. No one can save you now!"
