Talented Hairess A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson) novel Chapter 724

Chapter 724 

“I don’t know why Lionel went back to the manor,” Victoria stammered before regaining her composure. “He’s always been obsessed with me. Maybe that’s why he returned…” 

Victoria had already disabled the surveillance cameras that observed the manor. The only other active cameras were in the vicinity of the property. 

She didn’t know how Yvette discovered that Lionel had returned to Yellowood Manor before surrendering himself. But she was confident Yvette wouldn’t know what happened inside the 

manor. 

With that thought in mind, Victoria felt a wave of relief wash over her. If she could pin everything on Lionel, she’d be completely in the clear. That bitch, Yvette, had no evidence so she couldn’t do anything to her! 

Yvette’s mesmerizing fox–like eyes held a chilling indifference as they swept over her. With a cold and measured tone, she said, “He loves you. That’s why he returned to the manòr–to see you one last time before turning himself in. 

“He endured hours of agonizing torture for you. And now, he’s on the brink of death. His life is hanging by a thread as we speak.” 

“What does that have to do with me?” Victoria demanded. Her voice rose in indignation. “He was just a small, insignificant bodyguard Wilson assigned to protect me. He grew delusional. I could never have feelings for someone like him. His love for me is disgusting!” 

Yvette’s delicate eyebrows arched lazily, her tone nonchalant. “Is that so?” 

“Of course!” Victoria replied, eager to distance herself from Lionel. 

“I had no idea he felt this way about me. How could I possibly find a lowly bodyguard like him attractive? I’ve even asked Wilson to transfer him away. His mere presence filled me with disgust. Now that I know he has these feelings for me, I feel even more disgusted! 

“Thank goodness he’s been caught now. I’ll never have to see that disgusting thing ever again!

In the adjacent secret room, Lionel’s limbs were bound by iron chains. A gag was stuffed into his mouth, preventing him from making a single sound. 

His body was covered in wounds, and fresh blood stained his clothes. Despite the wall separating him and his beloved Victoria, he could still hear her words loud and clear. 

His eyes turned a crimson hue. Every word from Victoria felt like a thousand–knives piercing his heart. The pain caused him to shudder in agony. 

It was a pain more excruciating than any torture he had endured.

Victoria, oblivious to anything amiss, continued to speak. “And I had no idea about the things he did! I never thought he would be so cruel–that he would do such things. He deserves to die. Yvie, you can’t let him get away with this!” 

As Lionel listened to the woman he had risked everything to protect, he trembled uncontrollably. A torrent of dark blood spilled from his mouth. 

Victoria had pleaded with him in tears to eliminate Yvette. Out of pity for her, he eventually turned on Wilson and attempted to kill Yvette. 

Yvette narrowed her stunning fox–like eyes. Her lips curved into an ambiguous smile as she asked, “Do you despise Lionel that much?” 

“Of course!” Victoria replied without hesitation. He tried to kill Wilson, for crying out loud! I want him to rot in jail.” 

“Very well,” Yvette said, turning to Samuel. “Bring him over.” 

Standing beside her, Samuel nodded respectfully “Yes, Ms. Yvette.” 

Victoria was utterly confused, an ill sense of foreboding washing over her. She thought to
