Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 510

The girls exchanged looks of surprise, then broke into excited grins.

“Seriously? Yvie, you’re amazing!”

They chirped, though the idea seemed too far–fetched to be true. Everyone knew Ashton was famously conservative with his image, never flaunting his physique like other male celebrities.

However, they trusted Yvette. She wasn’t one to make empty promises, and when she said she’d do something, she meant it. Their anticipation only grew.

Watching from the sidelines, Alice couldn’t help but sneer. “What a joke. Just because you’ve got money doesn’t mean Ashton will strip for you.”

Ashton was a top celebrity now, so there was no way Yvette could buy him off with a sum of

money.

“You’re really something, aren’t you? No one asked for your opinion, but here you are, spewing garbage,” Madison shot back.

Yvette remained calm, but the approving gleam in her eyes suggested she had Madison’s back.

Alice’s face twisted in anger, but she didn’t dare respond. All she could do was swallow her curses as she silently fumed.

like this.

Meanwhile, Ashton was overjoyed when he saw Yvette’s name flash on his phone screen. He didn’t expect her to call him.

It seemed like Ashton still held a special place in Yvette’s heart. He wasn’t just her cash cow. Yvette cared about him, he was sure of it.

Feeling both flattered and relieved, Ashton answered the call immediately.

“Yvie, I’ve missed you so much!” he exclaimed.

Lately, he’d been swamped with concert tours. He barely spent time at home, let alone found time to accompany his beloved sister.

Yvette couldn’t help but smile, a warm feeling spreading through her as she heard his voice. “I haven’t spent much time with you lately. Adam is not your favorite brother now, is he?” Ashton grumbled, recalling the bragging photos Adam had sent him recently.

“I must always be your favorite brother! I’m out here working my butt off to earn money for you, so you can’t like Adam more than you like me.”

“Of course. You’re the best!” Yvette soothed Ashton to keep him happy. After all, he was the company’s golden goose, and she still needed him to keep raking in the cash.

“So, what’s up? What do you need from me?” Ashton eagerly asked, his mood instantly lifted.

“I need a few photos of your abs.”

Ashton blushed slightly at the odd request. Though he was embarrassed, he’d do anything for her. If she wanted pictures of his abs, she’d get them, no questions asked.

“Sure thing, Yvie! I’ll send them over right away!”

Yvette nodded, her tone nonchalant. “Take a few extra. They are for my classmates.”

“Got it!” Ashton nodded obediently, unable to refuse anything Yvette asked of him.

A few moments later, Ashton sent over the ab shots, and Yvette’s classmates squealed in delight, their excitement palpable.

“Oh my gosh, are these really Ashton’s abs?”

“Wow! Just as I imagined—his body is perfect! So hot!”

As their chatter filled the room, Yvette’s mind wandered to a different set of abs altogether. It was defined, and dangerously tempting.
