Talented Hairess A Rose with Thorns

Chapter 604

As soon as the event ended, lan received a call from Jacob. He was initially surprised, then became a little flattered. After all, Jacob was usually very busy and rarely ever called him.

When the video call connected, Jacob asked without showing concern for lan, "Is Yvie with you? I tried calling her, but why won't she answer?"

Of course, lan knew Jacob wouldn't suddenly be concerned about him. His lips twitched slightly as he replied honestly, "Yvie went to Quinn Manor to have dinner with Mrs. Quinn Senior. She's probably busy being pestered by that old lecher, Wilson, and can't pick up the phone."

As he spoke, lan gritted his teeth in anger. He wished he could rush over to Quinn Manor and give Wilson a good beating.

Jacob's displeasure was evident as he replied, "Why is Wilson always clinging to Yvie?"

"You have no idea! I went to pick her up from school today, but Wilson beat me to it. You know what I saw? He was getting too handsy with her!

The more lan thought about it, the angrier he became. "How shameless is he? He's so much older yet he's chasing after a younger girl!"

Jacob was left speechless, feeling like he had been subtly insulted.

lan didn't notice Jacob's unusual demeanor and continued to rant.

"I can't stand old men who chase after younger girls, thinking they can deceive them just because they're older. They're all just lecherous creeps-"

Before lan could finish his tirade, Jacob interrupted him with a dark expression. "I'm busy. I'm hanging up.

With that, he decisively ended the call, leaving lan confused. He had been criticizing Wilson, but why had his brother's mood worsened?

Ms. Olson's necklace simply fell off. That necklace is quite valuable, and she wears it often. Everyone in the manor has seen her with it. If it had fallen off and a maid had seen it, they would have returned it to her by now." After previous events, Martha had changed her attitude toward Tracy and listened impatiently as she spoke.
