Rose with Thorns

Chapter 11

That socialite hadn't finished saying “dockling” before she and everyone else noticed the young woman

descending the steps from the

second floor

The young woman donned a soft-colored dress. Her long, locks cascaded down her shoulders, framing her slim

lace even more. Those quiries and her elegantly scalpted features made her gorgeous beyond compare

Nobody at the scene could take their eyes off her

“How pretty.”

ok at how she presents herself. She doesn’t seem like someone who grew up in the countryside.”

“Is that the Murray's long lost daughter? Look at

“Yeah! See looks classier than Yasmin, whom the Murrays spent years raising!

Yasmin’s expression soured once those compliments for Yvette filled the hall. Jealousy dripped from her gaze as

it snapped toward Yvette’s stuning appearance. She regretted not pulling a few stunts to disfigure Yvette's face

As for the socialites, they reflected on their comments about Yvette earlier. Their faces heated up with

humiliation, es if an invisible force had slapped them.

“Everyone, this is our precious daughter, whom we've finally reunited with!” Yara and Irwin announced as they

led Yvette onstage.

Yvette allowed it to happen without any emotion in her eyes. She disliked the situation but played along because

she couldn’t bear disappointing her parents.

Yasmin watched Yaca and Irwin embrace Yvette, finding the scene particularly jarring. She bit her lower lip before

following the tonstage.

Then, she squeezed between them and smiled “Our family is finally complete! To celebrate, Yvette has specially

prepared a piano piece for everyone. We hope you'll enjoy it!”

With that, chatter immediately filled the hall again

“How surprising! | didn’t think the Murray family’s young daughter knew how to play the piano! Didn't they say

she grew up in the countryside?”

“Indeed! | never imagined a girl who grew up in the country would know how to play the piano!“.

Yvette’s eyes met Yasmin'’s, recognizing how the latter was challenging her. Even so, her expression didn’t

change one bit. She looked at the plano and could tell someone had tampered with at first glance.

The comers of Yvette’s red lips tugged as she sneered at Yasmin. She decided to go all out since the latter

insisted on playing these little

“Yasmin, aren't you going to play with YvieYara asked in confusion.

“Today's banquet is in Werro’s hoon. So, the first song should be played by Yotto, of course!” A perfect smile sat

on Yasnan's innocent face, yet venom brimmed in her eyes. “I'll play with Yvette for the second song”

Irwin and Yara’s hearts warmed when they heard Yasmin’s thoughtful words. They quickly praised her, saying,

“You're so considerate, Yasmin!

Yasmin Lips curved into an innocent and sweet smile. Little did anyone know she was scathing inwardly.

She had to admit Yvette’s piano skills were above average. However, she had already tampered with the plane

onstage. Because of that, Wette wouldn't be able to play well, no matter how skilled she was

Yasmin thought to herself, “Go and make a tool of yourself in front of all these people, Yvette! I'l | get the

household staff to switch out a new plano once Yvette tails superbly. With such a drastic contrast, everyone will

know Yvette is no match for me!*

Yvette gradually sat before the piano. The stage lights shone on the graceful contours of her side profile, which

were as shamning as a sculpture’s.

All eyes couldn't help shifting toward her. Everyone held their breaths and waited in silence

Even Yasmin kept her eyes on rette, who was now on stage alone. Yastula couldn't wait for Yvette to humiliate

herself on stage and bectoday’s laughingstock

the Porsche with Samuel standing respectfully by her side. He helped apert the car door for her.

“Where's Win? Why hasn’t be shown up yet?” Marth asked.

Samuel's brows furrowed as he cautiously spoke. “Mrs. Quinn Senior, Mr. Quinn has askedto drive you here

first-"

Before he could finish, Martha interrupted him, “Don’t beat around the bush. Tellright now-where & Will?

Where's he gone? It’s his fiancée’s banquet today! How can he not be present?”

Samuel could only helplessly respond, “Mrs. Quinn Senior, Mr. Quinn has things to deal with today, so he can’t

make it-

“What's more important than his fiancée!” Martha scoffed before adding, “I don’t care! Have him get over here

Having said that, Martha hastened toward Murray Manor. She was nervously smoothing out the creases on her

clothes and had a noticeable. grin on her face. Excitement bubbled within her at the thought of meeting her

future granddaughter-in-law soon.

Upon entering the banquet hall, Martha heard a beautiful piano piece being played. There was a whimsical

quality to it.

She couldn’t help immersing herself in the music like everyone at the scene. For a brief moment, she forgot all

about finding her granddaughter-in-law.

While everyone was engrossed with the masterful playing, only Yasmin's face paled to a ghastly grey. She didn’t

understand how this could have happened.

Yasmin swore she had tampered with the piano, yet Yvette played the instrument like nothing was wrong. On top

of that, Yvette even played. incredibly well.

Yvette stopped playing once everyone becdeeply enthralled by the music. Her striking eyes looked up from

the piano and settled on the scowling Yasmin. “This song’s a duet. Why don’t we play the piece together?”

“Oh, yay! I'm so looking forward to this!”

“Yasmin’s the first-place winner of this year’s piano competition! | doubt her skills will lose to Yvette’s!”

Because Yasmin kept bragging since winning the piano competition, everyone looked forward to seeing her play
