Chapter 335: A Rose 340

The exasperation in Yvette’s gaze deepened. She decidedly ignored Eustace, choosing instead to stare coldly at Jason and his entourage.

“Are you going to admit it yourselves, or do I need to make you?”

Their guilty expressions grew more obvious by the second, but they remained defiant.

“It wasn’t us! Why should we admit to doing something we didn’t?”

“Exactly! Just because you’re Dr. Marx’s apprentice doesn’t mean you can slander us!”

“Mind you, Yael University isn’t to be trifled with!”

Yvette looked at them indifferently and said, “You’re asking for it.”

“How dare you insult us-”

Before they could finish their feeble defenses, Yvette threw a kick at the one closest to her.

Jason cried in pain as he sprawled on the ground. As he fell, a vial of liquid tumbled from his pocket.

His expression drastically changed as he stumbled to retrieve it. However, Yvette was way ahead of him as she casually picked up the vial.

“This is the poison you put in Madison’s drink. Do you have anything else to say?”

Jason and his students finally turned pale. Unable to defend themselves, they hung their heads in shame.

Upon watching this scene unfold, the spectating crowd erupted in anger.

“So it was the delegates from Yael University who drugged her. They’re so sick! Kick them out of Croedal!

“Exactly! They’ve always looked down on Jubilife University and Vista University, yet they pulled something so outrageously shameless! We don’t welcome trash like them here!”

Under the pressure of the crowd’s collective scorn, Jason and his team looked mortified.

Matt spoke up angrily, “Yael University will face repercussions for this. We’ll report this to the authorities and demand a satisfactory explanation from your country.”

Jason and his team’s faces grew even grimmer. They quickly changed their stance and started to plead for mercy.

“Yvette, we know we were wrong. We’ve made a mistake, and we apologize for it. Please don’t let this escalate to an international issue….

They looked utterly defeated as their former arrogance vanished completely.

Yvette’s cold gaze remained unwavering. “This is the price you’ll have to pay.”

Realizing they were doomed, Jason and his students simply looked despondent.

In a certain office elsewhere, two men were having a serious conversation.

“Jacob, let’s talk.”

Wilson was sitting on the opposite couch. His usually charming face was now uncharacteristically serious. At the sight of him, Jacob’s expression darkened instantly. He clenched his fists and scolded, “Just think about your age for a minute. Have you no shame?”

For the first time in a while, Jacob lost control of his emotions. He tightened his fists as he continued, You’re ten years older than Yvie. How can you even think about pursuing her?”

”

Jacob saw Wilson as an old pervert. Plus, Wilson had set his sights on Yvette when she had only just returned to Jubilife City.

If Jacob hadn’t interrupted them at that moment, he couldn’t imagine what Wilson would’ve done to Yvette.
