Talented Heiress A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson) novel Chapter 714

Victoria did not feel an ounce of gratitude upon hearing Lionel's words. Instead, a cold distaste curled tighter within her.

Lionel was absolutely useless. He had outlived his usefulness, and any further association with him would only risk dragging her down with him. Victoria couldn't afford any loose ends, especially with Wilson now on the hunt.

Victoria quickly composed her thoughts, her face assuming a look of genuine concern. "Lionel, you must escape. Get as far away as you can. If they catch you, Wilson won't spare you."

Her false worry tugged at his heartstrings, and Lionel's face softened. "Ms. Olson, there's no escaping this. No one can evade Mr. Quinn on his turf. I only risked everything to see you one last time. Knowing you're safe is all I needed."

Lionel was prepared to turn himself in, accepting whatever fate Wilson had in store for him. To see Victoria one last time made the sacrifice worth it.

Victoria's mind whirled with racing thoughts. If Lionel willingly surrendered himself and shouldered all the blame, it would leave her unaffected.

Victoria heaved a sigh of relief but continued to feign heartbreak. Her tears glistened as she put on a mournful expression.

"Lionel, I'll beg Wilson to spare you. I can't bear to lose you…"

"Ms. Olson…" Lionel's gaze grew even more infatuated, his heart swelling at her apparent distress.

Turning to Yvette, Samuel added, "Ms. Yvette, Mr. Quinn is waiting for you inside."

"Okay." Yvette nodded and stepped toward the room, her long strides graceful but purposeful. As she entered and saw Wilson lying on the bed, she found his face pale and gaunt. A surge of worry washed over her.

Seeing this, Wilson reached out, his hand closing around hers. His gaze remained fixed on Yvette as he said, "Baby, let's never fight again. Okay?"

She ran her fingers along his face. "Alright, I promise. But you have to promise not to destroy any more of the Dark Organization's property."
