Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

"Arthur Quinn is my father," Wilson said.

Seeing Theodore losing composure like this, he was confused, but he still spoke with respect. "Do you know him?"

As soon as he heard that, Theodore's gaze turned even more hateful, his eyes brimming with a seething loathing. "You're actually Arthur's son..."

"Mr. Maximillian, what's wrong?" Yvette stepped forward in worry.

However, Theodore quickly lost control of his emotions, and he pushed her away forcefully. "Fate... it's truly fate!"

"Yvie." Wilson quickly steadied the stumbling Yvette. He furrowed his brow as he looked at Theodore. "Mr. Maximillian, if you have any grievances with me, please direct them to me. Don't take it out on Yvie."

"Shut up! You're not worthy of addressing me!" Before Wilson could say more, Theodore viciously interrupted him, his eyes filled with hatred.

He drew a gun from his chest, the dark barrel aimed directly at Wilson's forehead. "You deserve to die... Arthur's son deserves to die!"

"Mr. Maximillian..."

Yvette didn't understand why he had suddenly turned like this, but she instinctively stepped in front of Wilson to protect him.

"Ah..." Seeing Yvette standing in front of Wilson, Theodore's anger flared, but he ultimately couldn't pull the trigger, worried about accidentally hurting her.

In his rage, he swept everything off the table, sending items crashing to the floor.noveldrama

"Get out! Get out of here!"

"Mr. Maximillian..."

Yvette frowned deeply, about to check on his condition, when Xavier, Ezekiel and Solomon rushed in upon hearing the commotion.

"Yvie, Mr. Maximilian is losing control of his emotions. Don't provoke him further. You should take Wilson and leave."

Xavier stopped her, his tone calm and powerful, giving an inexplicable sense of

reassurance.

"Okay, Xavier. Let me know as soon as Mr. Maximilian calms down."

Although Yvette was very worried

about Theodore, she also knew that staying would only provoke him

yel

more. In these past years, Theodore's health had been declining steadily, and she couldn't let him be further upset.

Xavier nodded. "Yvie, leave this to me."

Yvette didn't say anything else, taking Wilson's hand and quickly walking out. "Let's go."

Noticing how unusually cold her hand was, Wilson tightly gripped her hand, silently comforting her emotions.

Once she seemed to have calmed down a bit, he finally spoke. "Yvie, what's the connection between Mr. Maximilian and my father?"

Yvette shook her head, her stunning eyes filled with confusion and worry for Theodore.

"Mr. Maximillian never mentioned your father before... I don't know why he reacted so strangely after finding out you're Arthur's son."

Upon hearing this, Wilson's heart sank, and his expression grew more serious. "I've never heard my father mention Mr. Maximilian either."

Yvette tightly pressed her lips together, her bad premonition growing stronger, making her feel uneasy.

So what exactly happened between Arthur and Theodore? What could have made a person as gentle and

refined as Theodore lose hiso

composure like this?

If she hadn't stepped in front of Wilson earlier, she was sure that Theodore would

have pulled the trigger!

Noticing her unease, Wilson

stretched out his long arm and

pulled her tightly into his embrace,

speaking slowly and firmly. "Yvie, no

matter what happens, we'll face it

together. I'll always be by your side."
