Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 496

Over at Royal Crown Kitchen, Yvette had just arrived at the main entrance when she saw Alice arguing arrogantly with a waitstaff. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“You must be mistaken! We’re VIPS here! How dare you deny us entry!”

Victoria, who stood beside her, tugged lightly on her sleeve to signal her to just let things slide. “I’m sorry, but we’re fully booked today-”

“I don’t want to hear all that! Victoria here is a VIP of Royal Crown Kitchen, so think of a way to let us dine in there!” Alice had covered up the wound on her face with a thick layer of makeup, and she looked hideous. Her attitude was just as terrible as she cut the waitstaff off mid–sentence.

The waitstaff was really left with no other option, so he said hesitantly, “Well, if you insist on dining in, then I guess we’ll just have to add an extra table in the reception area.”

“That sounds more like it!” Alice looked pleased now that she had her way.

She turned to Victoria and said, “You’re just too nice, Victoria. That’s why people pick on you. Didn’t they just say that we couldn’t enter before? Well, see, now they added a table for us!”

The Robertson family had gone bankrupt. Alice went from being the high and mighty daughter of a prestigious family to just another broke loser that people laughed at. She had to cling to Victoria for dear life now!

Victoria had the Quinn family behind her, so she had only the best of everything. So long as Alice was with Victoria, she’d be able to live the opulent life she lived in the past.

Victoria’s clear, doe–like eyes crinkled as she smiled. “You’re remarkable, Alice!”

Alice’s smile deepened when she saw Victoria praising her. What an easily manipulated dimwit!

However, she considered herself lucky for the presence of a dimwit like Victoria. How else was she supposed to continue living her lavish lifestyle?

The moment Alice turned, she caught sight of Yvette, who stood not too far away. Her expression darkened on the spot. Hatred rose within her when she thought of all the humiliation and suffering she went through at the underground boxing ring.

“What a coincidence, Yvie! I never expected to bump into you here!” Victoria waved and greeted Yvette with a smile, looking friendly.

Yvette nodded at her in response.

At the sight of that, Alice immediately leaned close to Victoria and whispered, “You see that Victoria? She doesn’t even want to greet you. Quit being nice to her when she doesn’t even appreciate it! I feel bad for you!”

As expected, Victoria’s gaze dimmed when she heard that.

Alice was happy to see that. Then, she coldly turned to Yvette and asked, “Yvette, you need a VIP membership card to dine in at Royal Crown Kitchen. Do you have one?”

One had to spend over a million dollars to be eligible to become a VIP. But it hadn’t been long since Yvette had returned to Jubilife City, so Alice refused to believe that she’d spend over a million dollars at Royal Crown Kitchen so soon.

“I don’t.”

Alice looked smug when she heard that. She knew it! It was impossible for Yvette to spend that amount at Royal Crown Kitchen in such a short time!

She was already beginning to imagine Yvette being thrown out. Just the thought of that alone was enough to bring joy to her.

That bitch Yvette had caused her family to go bankrupt, and she was also the one who had thrown her into the underground boxing ring to go through all the shame and torment.

She vowed to take revenge for each and every pain Yvette had inflicted on her!

Victoria bit her lip and asked, “Well, would you like to share a table with us, Yvie?” Yvette shook her head resolutely. “There’s no need for that.”
