Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Yvette pouted and gave the video call another try, but once again, the call ended the moment it was connected.

Looking at the video call that was disconnected again, Yvette couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

Very well, that asshole can forget about video-calling her from now on!

Just as Yvette was getting angry, a call came in from Wilson. His low, magnetic voice on the other end sent a tingle through her ears.

"Baby, I was in the shower," he said.

But Yvette's expression grew colder. Her plump, red lips curled disdainfully, clearly not believing him.

What kind of shower would he be taking in broad daylight in Jubilife?

Hearing her cold scoff, Wilson guessed what Yvette was thinking. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of a wry smile appeared at the corners of his lips. Having such a clever fiancée wasn't always a good thing. She was hard to fool! "Baby, a high-ranking official accidentally spilled coffee on me, so I'm taking a shower at the hotel now."

His explanation sounded reasonable, and besides, Wilson wouldn't dare lie to her!

Yvette's frustration dissipated somewhat. However, recalling how the man had hung up on her twice in a row, she proudly huffed. "What a coincidence. I called you, and you're taking a shower."

"Baby, you don't believe me, do you?" His low, magnetic voice carried a hint of laziness, making her ears tingle.noveldrama

Before Yvette could speak, Wilson had already turned on the camera. What appeared before her eyes was Wilson's bare upper body, his eight-pack abs clearly defined, with a perfect V-line...

He was irresistibly attractive!

"Baby, do you believe me now?"

Caught off guard by the sight, Yvette's ears turned slightly red as she bit her lip. "I didn't say I didn't believe you."

Hearing this, Wilson relaxed slightly. He knew Yvette was shy, which was why he had come up with this idea. At least for now, he had managed to fool her.

"Put on some clothes," Yvette said.

Looking at Yvette's bashful demeanor, Wilson's gaze deepened. He smirked, his lips curving into a sexy smile as he chuckled lowly. "Baby, you've seen it before; why are your ears red?"

"Nonsense!" A strong-willed Croedal woman would never admit defeat, and Yvette was very stubborn. "My ears aren't red!"

The smile on Wilson's lips deepened, his tone filled with adoration. "Alright, if my baby says it's not, then it's not red."

Finally satisfied, Yvette jutted her chin, her beautiful eyes glinting with mischief as she said, "From now on, you're not allowed to hang up on my video calls when you're taking a shower. I mean, I've seen it before!"

Wilson clearly didn't expect her to say that. His enchanting eyes lifted slightly,

exuding a sexy allure; he was definitely acting like a male vixen.

"Yvie, I can answer the call, but do you dare to look?"

Hearing this, Yvette raised her face defiantly and replied, "What is there that I wouldn't dare to look at? If you were here right now, I would have already reached out and made you cry!"

After all, he was far away in Jubilife. They were so far apart, so she could say whatever she wanted without fear of repercussions!

"Make me cry?" Wilson's pupils

dilated, and there was an aggressive glint in his eyes. His low, magnetic voice took on a slightly hoarse tone. "Alright, baby, don't just talk the talk. When we meet, don't be a coward."

"Coward?"
