Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

The helplessness in Yvette's eyes deepened as she slowly revealed, "Ashton is my fourth brother." "What?" On the other end of the phone, Madison's eyes widened in disbelief. After a moment of realization, she let out a piercing scream.

"Yvie, Ashton is your fourth brother? Oh my God! Yvie, do you need a sister-in-law?

Reflecting on the fact that all four of her brothers, except for the eldest, were still single, Yvette tapped her delicate fingers on her chin and nodded thoughtfully. "We're definitely in need." Madison immediately giggled on the other end of the line. "Yvie, make sure to consider me first when you're picking a sister-in-law!"

After hanging up, Yvette quickly turned on her computer. Her slender fingers flew across the keyboard as she uncovered the source of the trolls.

The coldness on her face intensified, causing an instinctive sense of dread to those around her. As expected, it was ZY Group's doing.

"Yvie, are you awake?" Suddenly, Ashton's anxious voice sounded from outside the door.

Yvette responded calmly, "I'm awake, Ashton. Come in."

"Alright!"

Upon receiving Yvette's permission, Ashton finally pushed the door open and entered the room

His handsome face showed signs of frustration.

"Yvie, you've seen what's happening online, right?"

"Yeah, I've seen it all," Yvette replied casually. "It was ZY Group that stirred things up."

"I knew it!" Ashton immediately erupted in anger. "ZY Group is really shameless. Just because I refuse to sign with them, they're resorting to such underhanded tactics!"

"Don't be mad, Ashton." Yvette's beautiful fox-like eyes glistened with a trace of coldness. "I'll make them pay for this. Ashton, leave this matter to me."

Even though her tone was laid-back, it somehow compelled others to trust her instinctively. "Alright, Yvie. I believe in you!" Ashton replied without a hint of doubt, his face brimming with confidence in her.

While they were talking, Yvette received another message from Madison.

"Oh my God, Yvie. You're trending again!"

Frowning, Yvette opered Twitter and saw that it was due to a post made by Hank using the official account of Starlight Entertainment.

The post read, "Ms. Yvette Murray is the founder of Starlight Entertainment, and her relationship with our artist Ashton is purely that of a superior and subordinate. We will gather evidence and take legal action to protect our rights." As soon as the Twitter post was made, netizens exploded once again.

One comment read, "Oh my God, Yvette is actually the mastermind behind Starlight Entertainment at such a young age! That's impressive!"

"Who isn't jealous of her?"

"Pure superior-subordinate relationship? Yeah right! I bet Ashton clung to Yvette, risking his career, just to secure those resources."

"Exactly. No wonder Ashton has had such good opportunities over the years!"

"Trashy man, trashy woman. Let them stay together forever!"

Seeing all the insults online, Ashton's forehead veins bulged in anger. He didn't care about people attacking him, but he couldn't tolerate them slandering Yvette. Ashton quickly found a picture of him and Yvette working together, swiftly posting it on Twitter

He typed out, "This is my sister. Watch your mouth, trolls!"

However, instead of calming things down, his post made the situation worse.

Someone replied, "So now the boss has turned into a sister? Do you think we're fools?"

"Look at how close they are in the photo. They've probably been hooking up for a while!"

"Ashton, get out of the entertainment industry!"

Ashton let out a frustrated breath, realizing that his impulsive action had only made things worse. He was so angry that he wanted to slap himself.

"Yvie, I'm sorry! I acted too rashly!"

When Yvette saw Ashton looking like a scolded puppy, she couldn't bring himself to blame him." It's okay. After all, our relationship was going to be revealed sooner or later." "Yvie, you're the best!" Ashton was deeply moved by her words. "I will work hard to earn more money for you in the future!"

Yvette chuckled at his words, her rosy lips curling into a smile. Then, she casually posted a photo with a caption that read, "A little sister from the same household."

As expected, as soon as this Twitter post went up, Yvette's name trended again.

A reply read, "Woah, can someone verify if this is a real photo?"

"It's real. There's a clear difference between doctored and real photos. Oh my God, Yvette really isnovelbin

Ashton's sister!"

"So in that previous video where Ashton was serving Yvette food and taking care of her so lovingly, it was all just brotherly love. This was all a misunderstanding!"

"Damn, Ashton is the fourth scion of the richest family in Jubilife, and his boss is his own sister. Yet people still spread rumors that he was a kept man pining for resources. What a joke!" still

"Exactly! If I had that kind of family background, I'd walk around Jubilife like I owned the place!"

"We knew our idol wouldn't do anything disgusting. He's such a doting brother to Yvette. Love him even more now, you fools!"

"Who could've guessed that the usually aloof and proud Ashton would act like a fool in front of his little sister!"

With the rumors of Ashton being a kept man for resources falling apart, the accounts that had insulted them were all banned, and each one received a lawyer's letter.

This scared the trolls so much that they switched to alternate accounts to apologize to Ashton, promising never to slander him again.

These familiar tactics were clearly the work of a certain sly fox. Thanks to Wilson's thoughtful actions, a warm feeling welled up in Yvette's heart, and the corners of her rosy lips lifted slightly. Ashton naturally guessed that Wilson was behind it all, and he couldn't help but feel a bit more favorable toward him. Suddenly, he didn't find Wilson so annoying anymore.

Having such a powerful ruler of Jubilife as a brother-in-law didn't seem so bad after all!

Soon, the smile faded from Yvette's face, and the formidable presence she emanated became more intimidating.

"The troublemakers online have been dealt with. Now, it's time to settle the score."

Yvette was never one to suffer a loss.
