Talented Hairess A Rose with Thorns (Yvette and Wilson)
A Rose 384

Chapter 384 1/2

At Murray Manor, Sean and Ashton were growing increasingly uneasy. "Why isn't Yvie back yet? If Jacob returns and doesn't see her, we're in serious trouble!"

Their faces were etched with anxiety, and the blame game began.

"This is all your fault, Sean. You insisted on going with Jasper to try out the latest gaming gear. If it

weren't for that, we'd have Yvie home by now and wouldn't have to worry about Jacob discovering our lie!"

"How is it my fault?" Sean snapped back. "You wanted to go play too, so I just went along! If anyone's to blame, it's you!"

Ashton cleared his throat. "Alright, alright, let's just blame Jasper for this!"

Sean quickly nodded in agreement at Ashton's suggestion. "Yes, exactly! It's all Jasper's fault!"

"Oh no, oh no! Jacob is calling..." Ashton panicked, and Sean fumbled to answer the phone.

"Jacob..."

Jacob's voice on the other end was calm. "Are you sure you've brought Yvie home?"

"Of course, of course!" Sean and Ashton responded in unison. The two brothers were perfectly in sync for the first time, forcing themselves to sound confident despite their guilt. "Jacob, we followed your instructions and picked Yvie up right after class..."

Before they could finish speaking, the living room door was suddenly pushed open. Jacob strode in, his handsome face stern, with Yvette behind him.

"This is what you call bringing Yvie home?"

"Shit, we're busted!" Sean and Ashton inwardly cried out in alarm, feeling a chill run down their spines.

"Jacob, why are you with Yvie?"

Jacob's anger surged even more at the sight of his two foolish brothers.

"Yvie was taken to an auction by that old lecher Wilson. We'd still be in the dark if I hadn't found out! Is this how you take care of her?"

""What?"

Sean and Ashton were no fools. They immediately realized they had been tricked. No wonder Jasper had insisted on dragging them along today. It was all a ruse to keep them occupied so Wilson could take Yvette away! That scoundrel!

"Jacob, we were wrong..."

Sean and Ashton lowered their heads, obediently admitting their mistake while silently gritting their teeth. They were determined to give Jasper a good beating when they saw him tomorrow!

"So, you've started lying now. Go to the memorial hall and reflect. There will be no dinner for you."

Sean and Ashton couldn't help but groan, but they dared not argue in the face of Jacob's authority and meekly complied. "Yes, Jacob."

Yvette bit her lip. "Jacob, I lied to you too. I'll join Sean and Ashton at the memorial hall for the punishment."

"No way!" Jacob, Sean, and Ashton all objected in unison as soon as she finished speaking. How could Yvette possibly kneel in that icy cold memorial hall?
