Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Yvette was still dressed in men's clothing the next day.

She lifted a hand to casually pull her hat down, revealing just a sliver of her delicate chin. Her appearance was both cool and handsome, naturally drawing everyone's attention to her.

Watching this, Miguel couldn't help but quietly marvel to himself that Yvette was stunning, whether in men's or women's clothing.

"Let's go."

Miguel still felt deeply worried. He thought that this mission was too risky, but he couldn't disobey Yvette's orders and reluctantly followed along.

"Yes, Ms. Murray."

Half an hour later, the car pulled up smoothly at the casino's entrance.

Kaiser Casino truly lived up to its reputation as the largest casino in Yenosha. Not only was it massive, but its interior decor was filled with priceless antiques. The entire casino gleamed with gold and was utterly luxurious.

Yvette let out a soft scoff. "No wonder the world's wealthiest people love to come here."

"Yeah, who would have thought such a lavish place was just a casino! Today has definitely been an eye-opener!"

Miguel also sighed, though he inwardly grumbled. It was such a luxurious and finely crafted place. It'd be a real pity to destroy it!

Meanwhile, Yvette was thinking that if she blew up such a large casino today, the repairs would definitely take a while. She could take this time to recreate an identical casino on the Dark Organization's turf.

Soon enough, the world's richest would flock to her casino instead, and the one making fortunes daily would be her!

Not only would she be infuriating that dumbass leader of Shadow Alliance, making him suffer heavy losses, but she'd also be lining her own pockets with profit!noveldrama

Thinking of this, Yvette felt even more upbeat and walked confidently toward the casino on her long, straight legs.

Miguel quickly followed after her.

The moment Yvette stepped into the casino, she caught everyone's attention. Countless eyes turned her way.

Yvette paid no mind to these stares, while Miguel behind her clicked his tongue in exasperation.

There was no helping it. Yvette was just too breathtaking, stunning people whether in men's or women's clothing.

Kaiser Casino wasn't only popular among wealthy men. Affluent young women frequently visited, too.

When they saw Yvette enter, their eyes instantly brightened. This was especially true for Skyla Granger, the eldest daughter of the Granger family.

From the moment Yvette stepped inside, Skyla's gaze hadn't left her, and she walked toward Yvette with a captivating allure.

"Hey there, handsome. I've never seen you around before. First time?"

Other young women followed Skyla's lead, their eyes practically glued to Yvette.

"That's right, handsome! We haven't seen you here before!"

Miguel, walking behind Yvette, was completely ignored as the group of ladies gathered around her.

He felt a twinge of complex emotions. Yvette's disguise as a man was apparently more popular than him, an actual man!

Yvette nodded, her tone nonchalant. "Yes, first time here."

"You may not know the rules here since it's your first time at Kaiser Casino. But no worries, I can show you around."

Skyla smiled brightly as she edged closer, her gaze lingering on Yvette with charm and flirtation.

Skyla was a captivating beauty. Any man would have likely been swept off his feet, but Yvette was unfazed. She took a casual step back, maintaining a polite distance.

"Thanks for the offer, but there's no need."

Yvette wasn't here to have fun-she was here to stir up trouble.

"You're the first man to turn me down."

Usually, men would be ecstatic at her advances, but Yvette had refused her.

Skyla's interest in Yvette only deepened. "Do you have time tonight? May I invite you to dinner?"

Before Yvette could answer, a sharp, mocking voice cut in.

"You're fawning over a pretty boy like him? You ladies are truly pathetic!"

The jealousy in the man's tone was unmistakable. When Yvette heard these insulting words, she lifted her beautiful fox-like eyes and coldly looked toward the source of the voice.

Yohan Reed's face looked grim, jealousy blazing in his eyes.

The moment Yvette appeared, she instantly drew the attention of all the young

ladies, including Skyla, who had always kept her standards high.

No matter how much he tried to impress her, Skyla had never looked his way. But now, here she was, fawning over some pretty boy. It

drove him mad with jealousy, which spurred him to insult her out of spite.

Yet, for some reason, meeting Yvette's icy gaze sent a chill from his toes to the

top of his head. It made him shiver involuntarily.

He couldn't believe it-he'd actually been intimidated by some pretty boy!

Once he collected himself, he felt humiliated in front of Skyla and grew angrier. "Pretty boy, did you just glare at me? Are you looking to die?"

"Shut up, Yohan!"

Skyla stepped in front of Yvette, her beautiful eyes glaring at him. "He's caught my eye. If you dare touch him, you'll answer to me!" Yohan's jealousy flared even hotter, and he scowled at Yvette. "Hiding behind a woman? What kind of trash are you? If you've got any guts, stop cowering!" Yvette's delicate features held a lazy arrogance, and she drawled, "You're just jealous that a woman wants to protect me. No use being bitter when you're so ugly."

A blow straight to the heart. Sure enough, Yohan's face darkened, clearly infuriated.

Skyla's lips curved upward, watching Yvette with a smile. "You're interesting. I'm even more intrigued now."

Hearing this, Yohan was driven mad

"Skyla, you're truly

Before he could finish spewing his vulgar insults, Yvette's voice, cold as ice, cut

him off.

"Has anyone ever told you that your mouth stinks?"
