Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Skyla was pacing back and forth anxiously at Granger Manor. Seeing Warren return, she immediately approached him, asking, "How are things? Any news?"

Warren shook his head, replying, "There's still no news as of now, Ms. Granger... Boss has probably sealed off the communication channels, and that's why we haven't been able to receive any news!"

Skyla's concern increased at his words, and she clenched the hem of her skirt tightly. "Boss personally made a move, so he must have already caught that man by now..."

Warren expressed his agreement, saying, "That's right. Since Boss himself is participating in the action, failure is impossible. Only death awaits that man for daring to provoke the Shadow Alliance like this!"

"That won't do!" Skyla exclaimed, biting her lip. "I have to save him!"

Her gaze was determined.

"But Ms. Granger, Boss has already detained him, so he's beyond sav―"

Before Warren could finish, she had already pulled up her skirt and run out of the house.

"Ah... Ms. Granger, where are you going?" he called helplessly after her.

Back at the Shadow Alliance headquarters, Miguel was extremely excited to see Yvette.

"I finally get to meet you again, Ms. Yvette!"

Who could understand the fear he had felt when he first woke up to find himself in the Shadow Alliance headquarters?

He had initially thought that he was a dead man, but he didn't expect the Shadow Alliance members to treat him unexpectedly well. In fact, they even seemed afraid of neglecting him!

And now Yvette didn't seem to have suffered any injuries and had even returned to wearing her female clothing! What exactly was going on?

In contrast to his excitement, Yvette said lazily, "Your wounds are healed yet, so don't move around willy-nilly."

"Yes, Ms. Yvette!" he acquiesced to her order hurriedly before asking, "Ms. Yvette, what exactly is going on? How did we end up in the Shadow Alliance headquarters?"

He couldn't sleep well knowing that they were in their archenemy's territory, his nerves constantly on edge!

"Ah." Yvette blinked lightly, her voice calm even as she declared, "The Shadow Alliance is mine now!"

"What?" Miguel was stunned, his mouth hanging open as he looked disbelievingly at her.

What was happening? How had Yvette managed to make the Shadow Alliance hers within such a short amount of time?

Seeing as he was practically

petrified with shock, Yvette didn't explain any further and simply said, "Rest well and let yourself recover. We'll be returning to Yovara a few days."

"... Yes, Ms. Yvette," replied Miguel hesitantly.noveldrama

As soon as Yvette walked out of his room, she saw Apollo waiting respectfully by

the door, holding a milkshake in his hand.

The moment he saw her walk out,

the

he quickly moved to greet her

courteously: His tone was full of flattery as he said, "Ms. Murray, this

is your favorite strawberry

milkshake. I had someone send it

over specially for you!"

He was a serious person by nature and didn't usually smile, but right now, he

wanted nothing more than to glue his smile to his face.

He had already learned of Yvette's true identity from Samuel. She was the future wife of their boss, so of

course, she had to be worshiped like

en!

But he had just completely offended her instead!

"Stop smiling already." Yvette felt her eyes hurt looking at his hideous smile. She

took the milkshake from him and took a sip.

"It's an eyesore," she finished.

"Yes, Ms. Yvette!" Apollo immediately dropped his smile at her words, sighing in relief.

All this bootlicking was too hard a job for him! He was much more suited to fighting and killing!

"I didn't know who you were before and offended you greatly, Ms. Yvette. Please show mercy and not hold it against me!"

Yvette arched a lazy eyebrow at his bootlicking lapdog behavior. A certain bastard's subordinates were certainly quite good at pandering to both sides!
