Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 499

Victória bit her lip and was lost in her thoughts after hearing Alice’s words.

Was Yvette on such close terms with Jasper now? This was the first time Victoria had seen Jasper looking at someone besides Wilson with such admiration.

Alice went on pitting Victoria against Yvette. “Victoria, Yvette wouldn’t even do that for your sake. You clearly don’t amount to anything at all to her! And to think that you’ve been seeing her as a friend this whole time! How could she treat you like that? She’s really too much!”

“That’s enough, Alice. Stop it…” Victoria hung her head low, feeling more dejected with each passing moment.

As for Alice, she secretly scoffed to herself. It wouldn’t be long before she drove a wedge between Victoria and Yvette. Victoria would hate Yvette’s guts, and she’d be able to use Victoria against Yvette!

Over at Murray Corporation, Jack politely handed Jacob a document. “Mr. Murray, your signature is needed on this document.”

Jacob hummed nonchalantly and signed the document before picking up his phone and checking his chat log with Nancy. He truly couldn’t take it anymore, so he sent her a text message. But the moment he sent the message, a red exclamation mark popped up–he’d been blocked!

Jacob’s expression darkened in a matter of a second. But there was nothing he could do about

1. it.

What a headache. Why had Nancy blocked him again? He had clearly followed Wilson’s instructions! So what went wrong?

“Hey, Jacob! What’s up? Why the long face?”

Collin sauntered in gaily. Seeing the dark look on Jacob’s face, he couldn’t help but crane his neck over to have a look. The moment he saw the red exclamation mark, he burst out laughing.

“Jacob! So it turns out that there is someone who dares to block you!”

Jacob looked even more upset than he had seconds earlier. Shooting Collin a sharp look, he spat, “Get lost.”

Not giving up, Collin continued guffawing. “This is hilarious! Who pursues women like you, Jacob?”

After he was done laughing, he jokingly exclaimed, “Oh, Jacob, if this is how you go after a woman, then I’m afraid you’re bound to a life of solitude!”

“What do you

know?” Jacob gave him an annoyed glance. “I’m doing this according to the instructions I was told!”

“Who the fuck taught you how to woo a woman like that?”

Collin tried his best to stifle a laugh when he heard that. Then, he gave Jacob a pat on the

shoulder.

“You need to take the initiative when going after a woman! Show up around her and give her some tender, loving care! Your way of wooing a woman is pretty much just giving her the silent treatment, Jacob! Which woman would want to be with you if you act like that? No wonder you were blocked!” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jacob’s expression became as dark as night when he heard that. He ground his teeth together and hissed, “Just perfect.”

How dare that old lecher Wilson fool him! And to think he’d trusted him so much and followed his method of distancing himself from Nancy!

Now, where did that get him? He got blocked! He wasn’t going to let Wilson off!

“Hey, hey, hey… Where are you off to, Jacob?”

Jacob walked out without so much as a backward glance. He furiously announced, “I’m going to make Wilson pay! That bastard!”
