Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

"You want me to apologize to her?" Alex almost choked with anger as he stared incredulously at

Sean.

"Yes!" Sean straightened his back and stood protectively in front of Yvette. "You misunderstood Yvie, so you must apologize!"

lan nodded in agreement. "Grandpa, you really should apologize to her."

Seeing both of his grandsons defying him for the sake of Yvette only made Alex even angrier. He pounded his cane on the floor in frustration.

In the past, all of them had always listened to him, but ever since this ungrateful granddaughter of his returned, they'd all turned against him, becoming as disrespectful as she was!

"Me, apologize to her? Over my dead body! I'm your elder! Asking an elder to apologize to you- aren't you afraid of jinxing yourself?"

While Alex fumed in rage, Yvette remained calm and unperturbed. Her cool, elegant voice cut through the tension. "Didn't you say you no longer recognize me as your granddaughter? What

me, anyway?" she asked indifferently.

kind of elder are you to

Her words enraged Alex to the point of nearly fainting.

"Fine!" he spat. "If you don't recognize me as your grandfather, then I don't want you as my granddaughter either! I only have one granddaughter, Yasmin, and you don't deserve to be a part of the Murray family!"

Although lan had only returned to the country, he knew all about what had happened in Jubilife. Not only had Yasmin secretly poisoned their mother, but she had also framed Yvette for it. If Yvette hadn't known the antidote, Yara's life would have been in grave danger!

Over the years, the entire family had treated Yasmin well, always fulfilling her requests without hesitation. Yet, despite their kindness, she had committed such horrendous acts. Ian felt nothing but disappointment and coldness towards her; he never wanted to see her again.

"Grandpa, let me make this clear to you," lan began. "The Murray family only has one daughter, and that's Yvie. As for Yasmin, she can forget about ever coming back!"

The Murray family had no place for such an ungrateful and conniving person.

"You -lan, have you lost your mind? How dare you speak to me like that!" Alex's fury grew even more intense. "Yasmin is your Uncle Erwin's only child. Yes, she made some mistakes, but why can't you forgive her just once?"

He was indeed angry about the disgrace Yasmin had brought upon the family, but no matter what, she was still Erwin's only child. He couldn't stand by and watch her suffer in the psychiatric Chapter 620

hospital.

He had gone to great lengths to force his way back from the nursing home, hoping to convince Irwin to bring Yasmin back.

"Mistakes? You call that just making some mistakes?" Sean, already known for his temper, exploded in rage at Alex's biased words.

"She nearly killed my mother! If it weren't for Yvies antidote, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"And let's not forget her other disgraceful actions that have already spread all over the capital. Letting her return would only bring shame to the Murray family! As long as I'm in the Murray family, Yasmin will never come back!" Sean had always known that Alex favored the cadet branch of the family, but he hadn't expected his bias to be this extreme.

"You ungrateful brat!" Furious, Alex raised his hand and slapped Sean hard across the face. "Who are you to stop her from returning? No matter what, she is still part of the Murray family. If I say she can return, then she will!"

If anyone else had dared to hit him, Sean would have fought back immediately. But since it was Alex, he had no choice but to suppress his anger despite how furious he was.

Seeing the swelling on Sean's right cheek, Yvette's eyes instantly turned cold. Her sharp gaze fellnovelbin

on Alex.

Sensing her glare, Alex involuntarily trembled. But he quickly snapped out of it, furious that he had been momentarily intimidated by a young woman. 1

"What are you looking at me for? Do you want to hit me too?" 2

""Of course not."
