Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

Yvette stood up leisurely, brushing off the dust on her clothes. She looked energetic and showed no signs of poisoning at all.

She had purposely let herself be exposed to the toxic smoke. Without doing that, Lionel would never have let his guard down.

Lionel struggled to his feet and glared at her with hatred.

"You clearly inhaled the poison. By now, you should be weak and suffering. How are you perfectly fine?"

"Did you think your little tricks can harm me? I've mastered the art of poisons!"

Yvette smirked as she calmly pulled out a token from inside her pocket. "If your poison had

worked on me, how would I maintain my reputation?"

When Lionel saw the token in her hand, his face went pale, his eyes wide with disbelief.

That token belonged to the Miracle Healer, a legendary figure capable of bringing the dead back to

life.

Yvette was the Miracle Healer? She was far more formidable than he had ever imagined.

"Where is Nancy?" Yvette didn't bother with any more idle conversation. She wrapped her fingers around Lionel's throat. What looked like a gentle hold was anything but. He couldn't seem to break

free.

Soon, Lionel was gasping for air, his breath cut short. Even so, he snarled, "You can kill me, but I won't say a word! If I can't take you down, I'll drag Nancy to hell with me!"

Instead of getting angry, Yvette chuckled. Her gaze was icy and calm as she said, "Don't be so

quick to make promises."

She casually pulled out her phone and dialed Jacob's number for a video call.

The call connected instantly.

"Yvie, I've done as you asked. The target's been captured."

"Good," Yvette replied with a satisfied smile. She'd already messaged Jacob before arriving, instructing him to capture Victoria. Lionel might not value his life, but he'd certainly care about

hers.

The camera panned to show Victoria. Her eyes were red, tears streaking her pale face as she trembled in fear. She looked utterly pitiful.

"Who are you people? Why are you here? What do you want from me?" she whimpered, her voice Chapter 710

shaking.

As soon as Lionel saw Victoria on the screen, his face twisted in fury. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Yvette's, filled with murderous rage. It was as if he could tear her apart right then and there. "You venomous witch! How could you harm Ms. Olson? Let her go, now!" Lionel bellowed.

Yvette replied calmly, "You know my skills well. I'm not just a healer, I'm also a master of poisons. If you don't tell me where Nancy is, your precious Victoria will suffer, tormented by hundreds of the deadliest toxins."

Lionel's composure cracked. His eyes reddened with panic, veins pulsing in his temples. "Don't hurt her! I'll tell you! Nancy is locked in the basement beneath the cabin-by the cliff! I've already

poisoned her. If she's not rescued soon, she'll die!"

"You're truly disgusting." Yvette's expression turned solemn. Without a second thought, she wrenched his right arm, the sickening snap of bone echoing through the air.

Nancy wasn't like her. Yvette had been trained for years, soaking in medicinal baths to become immune to poisons.

Nancy wouldn't last much longer. Yvette had to get to her immediately.

Ignoring Lionel's groans, Yvette sprinted toward the cabin, her heart pounding with urgency.

Every second lost could be fatal for Nancy.

Lionel whimpered, clutching his mangled arm. The pain was unbearable, threatening to pull him

into unconsciousness. But his hatred was stronger

Eyes blazing with malice, he crawled into his car and slammed his foot on the gas.

Yvette wouldn't make it out alive today. He would make sure of it.noveldrama
