Chapter 253: A Rose 257

“Dad, Yasmin did something so vicious. We can’t let her off easily!” Irwin’s expression was stern.

He added, “She almost killed Yara! If Yvie hadn’t saved her, who knows what might have happened? The consequences could’ve been unimaginable!”

“But she didn’t die, did she?” Alex replied impatiently. “I said this matter ends here, and it ends here.

You dare disobey me?

“Yasmin is your brother’s only child. If you send her to jail, how can your brother rest in peace?”

Irwin always knew Alex favored the cadet branch of the family. But he didn’t expect Alex to be so biased as to ignore what was right and wrong. His anger was so intense that he was shaking.

Alex had let him down.

Yasmin, on the other hand, was extremely smug. She hid behind Alex, provoking Yvette with her gaze. Even if Yvette exposed her, what could she do about it? She still couldn’t do anything against her!

“We’ll do as I say! Cut Yasmin some slack, she’s young. It was only a small mistake. She’ll learn from it and won’t do it again!” Alex said dismissively.

“Besides, isn’t everything fine now? Yara has already been saved. Don’t be so narrow–minded and dwell on such a small issue. Why can’t you be a little more forgiving to the youngsters?”

“Oh, be more forgiving, right?” Yvette’s eyes turned ice–cold.

She grabbed Alex by the collar and lifted him. “Fine, then I’ll poison you too, save you afterward, and you can be forgiving and not hold it against me.”

With that, Yvette opened a porcelain bottle and gripped his jaw. She then forced the medicine into his mouth.

Alex choked and coughed, enraged. “You damn girl, how dare you do this to me!”

“Yvette, he’s your grandpa. How dare you treat him like this!” Yasmin quickly supported Alex, glaring at Yvette with hatred. She wished she could tear her apart.

Alex suddenly felt excruciating pain all over his body, so intense it was unbearable. “What did you give me? Quick, give me the antidote now!”

Yvette leaned lazily against the wall, her long, straight legs casually bent. Her tone was utterly indifferent. ” Oh, I just gave you some Osseous Powder. It’ll only hurt for about two or three hours, and then it’ll stop. You won’t die from it anyway.

“I’m young too, Grandpa! You’re a forgiving man, aren’t you? So you won’t blame me, right?”

Yvette threw his earlier words back at him. Alex was so angry he almost fainted, his finger trembling as he pointed at her.

“People raised in the sticks are so uncouth. Irwin, chase her out of Murray Manor now, or I’ll disown you!” “No way!” Irwin refused firmly. “After a long and arduous search, we were finally reunited with Yvie. No one will drive her away from us!”

Alex became even more furious at his refusal. “You ungrateful son! You won’t even listen to me now! You must drive her out of the Murrays today, or I’ll cut you off!”

Alex’s aggressive behavior left Irwin feeling numb. With an icy tone, he declared, “Very well, from now on, I’m no longer your son!”

No matter what, Yvie was their precious daughter, and they would never drive her away!

“Fine… Great! So you’re going to cut ties with me over an uncouth girl like her? All those years I raised you were for nothing!” Alex was beside himself with anger.

The agony of Osseous Powder was almost too much to bear. He turned to leave, shakily pulling Yasmin along. “Yasmin, come back to Murray Estate with me You have nothing to do with them from now on!”

“Dad, are you just going to let her off?” Jacob’s face darkened, a chill emanating from him.

Irwin sighed heavily. “Your grandpa has always been fond of the cadet branch. Yasmin is the only child left from that branch. If we send her to jail, it’ll be too much for Grandpa. He’s already in such frail health. As his son, I can’t bear to see him break down like that.”
