Talented Hairess A Rose with Thorns

Chapter 444

As soon as the bell rang, Yvette was swarmed by her classmates.

"Yvie, we're going to visit Madison at the hospital. Want to join us?"

Yvette shook her head, remembering her promise to wait for Adam after school. "You guys go ahead. I'll visit another day."

"Okay!" Her classmates nodded and didn't press her further. "Yvie, we're heading out now!"

"Mm."

Yvette lazily grabbed her backpack and started toward the school gate. As her classmates left, Alice quickly fell in step behind her, a self-satisfied smirk on her face. "Yvette, you might not know yet, but the Quinn family has invested in my family! Hahaha, with their support, how can the Murray family possibly bring us down now?"

"The Quinn family invested in the Robertson family?" Yvette mused to herself. Her eyes narrowed slightly. Noticing Yvette's lack of reaction, Alice's smugness only grew. She couldn't help but flaunt her victory. "I heard you're engaged to Mr. Wilson, but when Victoria spoke to him, he agreed to invest in my family. "It seems you're not as important to him as you thought. Clearly, Victoria means more to him than you do. It's only a matter of time before he calls off the engagement, and you'll end up as the joke of Jubilife City" The thought made Alice practically giddy with delight.
