Chapter 512
After class, Nancy received a voice message from Nancy. When she heard it, she was surprised to hear Jacob’s voice instead.
“Yvie, don’t send her those kinds of things again.”
Yvette couldn’t help but smirk as she listened, letting out a soft click of her tongue. Who knew Jacob could be so possessive?
“Yvie, let’s go. We promised to treat you to lunch!” Madison and the others eagerly gathered around her.
“Okay.” Yvette nodded, slipping her phone back into her bag before following them out of the
classroom.
As soon as they stepped outside, however, Yvette spotted Jasper and Victoria chatting nearby. She wasn’t about to interrupt them, so she turned to leave when Jasper caught sight of her. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yvie! Yvie!” Jasper dashed over, practically tripping over his feet in his haste. “Where are you headed? Take me with you! I’ve been waiting here for you!”
“No. I already promised to eat with them.” Yvette shook her head and turned Jasper down without hesitation. He talked way too much, and his constant chatter was exhausting.
Though he was turned down, Jasper wasn’t one to give up easily. He turned to Madison and the others, asking, “You guys don’t mind if I tag along, right?”
Given Jasper’s notorious reputation as Jubilife’s fyrant, Madison and the rest quickly nodded, not daring to refuse.
Jasper grinned triumphantly, relentless as ever. “See, they don’t mind! Come on, Yvie, just take me with you. I ran over as soon as class ended just to wait for you.”
Yvette was speechless. Not far off, Victoria stood and watched the unfolding scene. It was the first time she’d seen Jasper so shamelessly persistent. She assumed he must really like Yvette. “Victoria, did you see that? Yvette is a master at winning people over! She’s charmed everyone in our class and turned them against me,” Alice complained. She tried to paint herself a victim, and Yvette in a sinister light.
“Victoria, now she’s using those same tactics on you. If you don’t act fast, you’ll lose your standing in the Quinn family. She won’t let you stay with the Quinns or remain close to Wilson with the way things are going.”
As Alice’s words echoed in her mind, Victoria lowered her gaze, her thoughts hidden beneath a calm facade.
Meanwhile, Jasper continued to plead, “Yvie, please take me with you!”

Growing weary of his persistence, Yvette finally relented with a nod. “Fine. Just keep up.”
“Great!” A wide grin broke across Jasper’s face. “Yvie, could you teach me that drifting technique you used in your last race?”
Just then, a black Hummer sped toward them and screeched to a halt. A man stepped out of the car, clad in leather. His eyes were cold and dangerous, and he exuded an intimidating presence.
“So you’re the woman who beat Carson?”
“Carson?” Yvette arched an eyebrow lazily, her tone nonchalant. “Who’s that?”
“Yvette, he’s the idiot you beat last time! You not only helped me win back 5% of the Quinn Corporation shares, but you also took 20% of his family’s shares.”
Seeing Yvette’s lack of recollection, Jasper whispered to her, “You sold those shares to their rival and caused his company’s stocks to plummet. Carson got beaten half to death by his father because of it.”
“Oh, him. I have too many defeated opponents under my belt, so it’s normal not to remember all of them,” she said dismissively.
Just then, Carson limped out of the car and glared at Yvette with menace. “Don’t get too cocky! So what if you win against me? Why don’t you try beating Zeke? Do you dare challenge us again?”
After losing 20% of his family’s company shares last time, Carson returned home to a harsh lesson. He couldn’t let the humiliation slide, so he persuaded Zeke Lockwood to help him.
Carson was determined to make Yvette suffer this time.
