Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Victoria arrived at Quinn Manor.

"Ms. Olson, you're here!"

Jimmy had been waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw Victoria, he respectfully greeted her.

"Mrs. Quinn Senior has been asking about you for a long time! Please, Ms. Olson, accompany Mrs. Quinn Senior for a bit more. She's been quite fond of you lately."

It was strange. Recently, Martha had only wanted to be around Victoria, keeping everyone else away. Today, once again, she had been mentioning Victoria nonstop, and Jimmy had no choice but to send for her.

"Please, Mr. Lacroix. You're too kind. It's no trouble at all."

Victoria appeared gentle and harmless in a flowing white dress, smiling sweetly as she spoke.

"I'm happy to spend time with Mrs. Quinn Senior. It's no bother at all!"

Jimmy's regard for Victoria grew even deeper as he praised, "Ms. Olson, you're so kind to Mrs. Quinn Senior. If someone wasn't aware, they might think you're her real granddaughter!"

Hearing the praise, Victoria continued smiling with the same innocent, virtuous expression. Her lips curled slightly as if embarrassed by the compliments.

"Mr. Lacroix, you flatter me. It's what I should be doing," she replied humbly.

Seeing her modest and polite demeanor, the butler was even more impressed with her and silently thought to himself, "Ms. Olson is so kind and dutiful. If it weren't for Mr. Quinn already having a fiancée, they'd make the perfect match."

Victoria's eyes flickered slightly, and she casually asked, "Mr. Lacroix, has Wilson sent word about when he's returning to Jubilife?"

At the mention of Wilson, Jimmy shook his head.noveldrama

"No, Ms. Olson. Mr. Quinn hasn't sent word regarding when he'll return to Jubilife."

Upon hearing this, Victoria's eyes darkened for a moment. So many days had passed, and Wilson still hadn't planned to return.

She couldn't allow the relationship between him and that wench, Yvette, to deepen further. She had to act today, especially with Martha in her grasp. She would force Wilson to return if it was the last thing she did.

If it weren't for Yvette clinging to him, Wilson would've been back already. It was all her fault!

"Mrs. Quinn Senior is upstairs. Shall I take you up to see her, Ms. Olson?"

Jimmy, unaware of her intentions, led her toward the guest room and then politely said, "Ms. Olson, please feel free to meet with Mrs. Quinn Senior."

Victoria immediately suppressed the malice in her eyes and smiled sweetly, "I'll go up and keep Mrs. Quinn Senior company, then."

Once she turned around, her warm smile immediately vanished, and all that remained in her eyes was cold, malicious hatred.

"Victoria, you've finally come to keep me company!" Martha sat in a wheelchair, looking frail and weak. But when she saw Victoria, her face lit up with a loving smile.

Seeing this, Victoria sneered quietly. Over these past days, she had thoroughly.controlled Martha's mind with the hypnotizing fragrance, successfully brainwashing her Today, it was time to test the results.

"Mrs. Quinn Senior, who is your most beloved grandchild?"

Martha's eyes were dull, and without hesitation, she answered, "Of course, it's Victoria-my most beloved!"

Upon hearing this, Victoria's lips curled into a satisfied smile, and she pressed further. "Then, who do you hate the most?"

Martha hesitantly replied, "Of course, it's Yvette!"

"That's right!"

Victoria's smile deepened with satisfaction as she increased the dosage of the hypnotizing fragrance, further solidifying Martha's brainwashing.

"I want you to remember this

forever. The person you hate the most in this world is Yvette. You

wish

h she were dead. You will never accept her as your

granddaughter-in-law."

As the strange fragrance filled the air, Martha's eyes became even more vacant. She muttered to herself, "The person I hate the most in this world is Yvette... I wish she were dead... I can never accept her as my granddaughter-in-law..."

Watching this, Victoria's sense of triumph deepened.

"If I had known the hypnotizing fragrance would be so effective, I wouldn't have wasted so much effort trying to please this old woman," Victoria thought inwardly.

She had tried so hard to win Martha's favor, but she had always favored that wench, Yvette, dismissing all of her efforts. Now, it was time for her to take control.
