Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

"You said that half an hour ago!" Yvette glared at Wilson in dissatisfaction, pursing her lips. "I'm not helping you anymore. You can deal with it yourself!"

Was she trying to kill him?

Wilson was unwilling to let go of her hand. He breathed hotly down her ear as he coaxed her in a low and husky tone. "Tell me something stimulating, baby. I'm almost there..."

Yvette thought about it seriously, lips pursed. Then her eyes lit up. She whispered softly and silkily, "Hubby..."

The moment he heard Yvette calling him by the nickname so softly and affectionately, Wilson's pupils dilated, and his entire body tensed up.

To think that, just from hearing Yvette call him hubby, he.....

Meanwhile, in the slums, a secret meeting was being held.noveldrama

"I've done as you asked. I didn't think that lady was such a good swimmer, though. I was no match for her and she even injured me!"

The short man nursed his wounds, face taut with pain. That woman was too vicious! She'd broken three of his ribs in one kick, and that had been in the water, too. If they had been on land, her kick might have been fatal! The other woman hurriedly spoke up. "That's right. It's not that we weren't doing our jobs

properly. That woman is just too good, and if we hadn't been clever and fast, they would've caught

us!

"We took such a huge risk in order to do what you asked. You'd better not skimp on the payment you promised us!"

"Don't worry, you won't get a single penny less." Hidden in the shadows, Lionel tossed them a check. "It's for two million dollars. Remember to keep your lips sealed."

"But of course, we're all well aware of the rules of the trade!"

The moment they saw the money, the two hired thugs grinned brightly. They hurriedly stored the check away and dialed up their flattery.

"If you ever need anything done in the future, feel free to look us up. We only failed this time because that woman was too good. Next time, we'll definitely accomplish what you ask of us!" Lionel rejected their offer coldly. "There's no need.

"But why?" one of them asked in confusion. "We only messed up this once, but we definitely won't next time!"

"That's right! Please give us another chance!"

"Because you won't live that long." A cruel and bloodthirsty expression flashed on Lionel's face. The next second, he took out a gun, aiming it toward them. "After thinking it over, I've decided dead men tell no tales."

"You're going back on your word... Quick, run-

The two thugs shook in fear. Their desire to live compelled them to turn and run, but how could a person outrun a bullet?

Lionel pulled the trigger without hesitation. The bullets hit them dead on. They didn't even have the time to scream before they were shot dead.

The gun was fitted with a silencer, so it didn't make any sound that would alert possible passersby.

Lionel put on his gloves, retrieved the check from one of their pockets, then quickly left the scene.

This was the biggest slum in Jubilife City, so there were no security cameras around. As long as he held onto the check and destroyed all the evidence, this wouldn't be traced bac! The only pity was that he wasn't able to get rid of Yvette this time, either!

At the thought, Lionel's face darkened.

1. im.

Yvette was more difficult to get rid of than he had imagined! But he wouldn't give up. He'd definitely help Victoria get Wilson back.

Only Victoria was worthy of being Wilson's partner!
