Talented Heiress A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson) novel Chapter 715

As soon as the matter came up, Wilson's grip on Yvette's hand tightened. His voice, deep and magnetic, was laced with a hint of guilt and vulnerability. "Baby, I didn't destroy that shipment. I only hid it away."

Wilson had been provoked by Xavier and wanted to prove his own importance in Yvette's heart. Thus, he had ordered the destruction of the Dark Organization's shipment. However, he was also afraid Yvette would get angry since he secretly held onto the goods.

When she called him out on it, Wilson had wanted to tell her the truth. But she had been too angry and had threatened to cancel their engagement party. That left him so furious that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Yvette couldn't believe her ears. Her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment. So, he hadn't destroyed the Dark Organization's shipment after all. All their heated arguments had been for nothing.

"I'll have the shipment returned immediately." Wilson's voice, rich and seductive, lingered in her ear. Each word dripped with persuasion, effectively coaxing her.

"Baby, please don't cancel our engagement party, okay?"

Yvette didn't hesitate, nodding her head in agreement. "Okay, I won't cancel it."

Since the shipment hadn't been destroyed, she wouldn't have to go back to the Dark Organization's headquarters to meet Theodore. This meant she didn't have to call off the engagement party either.

As soon as Yvette agreed, his attractive and sensual lips curved into a smile. His eyes sparkled with joy.

She looked at him seriously. "Now, can you tell me why you seized the Dark Organization's shipment in the first place?"

Wilson fell silent for a moment before responding, "It's all because of Xavier."

"When I was seven years old, I met Mr. Maximillian by chance, and he took me under his wing. He treated me like his own child and taught me many things. That's when I met Xavier and Ellie.

"We trained and completed missions together. We were like a family! But when I returned from a mission one day, I received news that my grandma had passed away. I went back to the village to attend her funeral. That's when my real parents found me and sent their butler to bring me to Jubilife."

Wilson's heart went out to her as she shared her story. She had endured so much hardship and suffering at such a young age.

Why hadn't he met her sooner? He could have protected her and spared her from all that pain.

Yvette squeezed his hand and smiled tenderly. "One of these days, I'll take you to meet Mr. Maximillian."
