A Rose 459
“What did I do wrong?” Alice could hardly believe she was being blamed. In her mind, her only mistake had been acting against Yvette without first uncovering the truth about her background.
Given another chance, Alice would have made sure to investigate thoroughly before plotting her revenge, ensuring no one could trace it back to her.
“Why are you wasting your breath for her?” Yvette smirked and turned to Jake, who’d arrived just earlier.
“Take her to the underground boxing’ring. Let her experience what it’s like to be thrown into that hell,” she instructed coldly.
“Got it, boss,” Jake replied respectfully.
The moment Alice heard she was being sent to the underground boxing ring, fear gripped her, and she trembled uncontrollably.
“No! I don’t want to go to the underground boxing ring-
“You have no choice,” Jake interjected since he knew that Yvette despised noise. With swift efficiency, he stuffed a rag into Alice’s mouth and carried her away.
“Thank you, Yvie,” Madison said gratefully. She could have died at the underground boxing ring or become crippled if it hadn’t been for Yvette’s help.
Not only had Yvette saved Madison, but she had also given her the chance to take revenge with her own hands. With her ordinary background, Madison would never have been able to confront Alice on her own.
“There’s no need to be so polite,” Yvette said warmly as she pulled a small jar of ointment from her pocket. “This is for scar removal. Apply it once a day, and in about a month, the scars will fade completely.
“Yvie…” Madison’s eyes welled up with tears. She hadn’t expected Yvette to be so considerate. No girl wanted to live with scars, and she was no exception.
Madison had already made peace with the idea of wearing long sleeves for the rest of her life, so this unexpected kindness felt like a gift from Heaven.
“Yvie, from now on, you’re like a real sister to me! I’ll do whatever you say.”

After Madison left, Jake shuffled into the classroom once more.
“Boss, someone’s been quietly digging into your whereabouts, trying to uncover Master Xev’s true identity.
Yvette pursed her lips, a flicker of annoyance crossing her face. She had stayed under the radar for so long, but it seemed one brief appearance as Master Xey was enough to attract attention.
“Find out who’s investigating me, and once you do, you know what to do.”
If they were foolish enough to come after Yvette, she wouldn’t hesitate to strike back.
“Understood, boss. I’ve got it covered.” Jake nodded firmly. After all the years of working by her side, he knew exactly how she operated.
“Oh, and there’s something else unusual happening. KW Corporation has started targeting the Roberston family. I looked into it, and there’s no apparent grudge between them. It doesn’t make sense.”
KW Corporation was backed by the Shadow Alliance. Hence, whatever the corporation did was usually on the alliance’s orders. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Why would the Shadow Alliance suddenly waste their time on a small, insignificant company?”
