FULL DRAMA NOVELS Chapter A Rose 593
Chapter 593
Surprise showed on Jasper's face at the sight of Victoria.
"Vicky, is there something you need from me?"
Next to him, the rebelliousness in Sean's eyes vanished upon seeing her. He looked at her with a bit of shy reservation.
Victoria spoke up softly. "My driver had some last-minute business to attend to, so he can't come pick me up. May I hitch a ride to Quinn Manor with you? I haven't been to see Mrs. Quinn Senior in quite a while."
"Of course you may!" Something like this was no sweat off his back, so Jasper agreed readily,
"Thank you." Victoria's doe-like eyes brightened considerably. She looked all the more pure
and beautiful like that.
"Pssh! There's no need to stand on ceremony with me, Vicky." Jasper waved a hand dismissively. "Have you started raising a cat? It looks really tame!"
Sean's gaze also focused on the cat in her arms. He immediately noticed the similarities between this cat and the little orange cat from before-the one that had been brutally killed. Immediately, mixed feelings rose in him. "Can I hold him?" he asked.
"Of course!" Victoria replied.
Mission accomplished! A hint of smugness flashed in her eyes. However, her sweet smile
never left her face.
"Doesn't it really look like the small ginger cat from before? When I first saw it, I felt as if the small ginger cat had returned to my side, just in a different way!"
"This time I'll definitely protect it well and not let any harm come to it!"
Sean's gaze on her softened further at her words. She truly was the kindest out of all the girls he knew, other than Yvie!
Victoria's greatest strength was her ability to read people's hearts. She smirked lightly, accurately guessing Sean's every thought.
It seemed that she would soon have Sean Murray within her grasp. Then she would have yet another pawn to use!
Half an hour later, the car Yvette and lan were in arrived smoothly at the Research Association.

The moment lan stepped into the lobby, he was swarmed by the crowd. Due to the fact that Yvette seldom made any public appearances at events, there were many people who didn't recognize her. Instead, they all rushed to fawn over lan.
"Mr. lan, you're finally back in the country! Croedal's research community needs talent like you!"
"That's right! We prayed day and night for your return, Mr. lan. And now our prayers have finally been answered!"
"Mr. lan, you're Mr. Zabel's most brilliant student, and also the most outstanding among the research community's new generation of talents!"
The most outstanding among the new generation of talents? That was Yvette!
But when lan tried to correct them, the people crowding him gave him no chance to speak. They continued to chime in one after another.
"That's right! Mr. Ian, this wine is on us! Come on, do us a favor and have at least one drink!"
Yvette had never liked these sorts of situations, so she was quite happy to be left out of it. She went and found herself a quiet corner to rest instead. "You're that arrogant brat who got on Mr. lan's nerves, aren't you?"
Yvette frowned in annoyance at the sudden, piercing voice. She raised her head and glared coldly in the direction it sounded from.
When Bryan Winter locked eyes with her, he felt a chill creep up his spine. He shivered in fear. How did one little brat have such an intense presence?
Yvette cast him a single glance before turning away in contempt. "Get lost," she said coldly.
"You" Bryan clearly didn't expect that anyone would dare dismiss her. He instantly turned red with anger.
"You dare tell me off? Do you know who I am?" he said angrily, ignoring the fear he felt.
He had always been the one bullying and looking down on others using his status in the Research Association. Never had someone dared treat him this way. Never had he been on this end of the stick! Yvette was sprawled lazily on the sofa, her legs spread carelessly across the cushions. She sat like she owned the place.
"Do you know who I am, then?" she asked in return.
"Do you think a silly brat like you is even worthy of my notice?" Bryan snorted in disdain, clearly looking down on Yvette. Chapter 593

"I'll have you know, I'm the vice president of the Research Association!" he continued. "If you have any sense, apologize for your previous words right now!"
Bryan assumed that his words would scare Yvette into apologizing. He would then seize the chance to humiliate her and use this incident to get into lan's good books!
But who would've thought that not only did Yvette not show a hint of fear, she even smirked playfully.
"Do you think a mere vice president is worthy of an apology from me?"
"Why you arrogant, ignorant little brat!" Bryan glared viciously at Yvette, shaking in anger. You had Mr. Zabel to protect you before, but he won't be able to help you now!"
age, he would Barnabus may hold a high position in the research community, but given his have to retire and make way for the new generation in less than a few years. Ian would most likely take his place then. That was the reason Bryan was rushing to find a way into lan's good books. It was so he could protect his status!
"If
you
continue to behave so arrogantly, I'll have you kicked out of the research community!"
Just as the words left his mouth, lan's angry voice rang out from behind him.
"Who did you say you were going to kick out of the research community?"
At the sight of lan, Bryan immediately turned on the charm. "Mr. lan! Why, it's this brat who doesn't know her place, of course! It's what she deserves for being ignorant enough that she dared to offend you..."
