SWNOVELS Chapter A Rose 441
Chapter 441 1/3
It was just as Alice expected. Wilson cared about Victoria more than he cared about Yvette. When Victoria asked him to help the Robertsons on her behalf, he agreed right away! Victoria was a fool who thought of Alice as her best friend. With a connection like this, Alice wouldn't
have to fear Yvette at all.
With that in mind, Alice began smiling gleefully. After Wilson revoked their marriage agreement because of Victoria, Yvette would become the laughingstock of the entire city! "Look at how happy Alice looks right now, Yvie. How nasty!"
"Yeah, she ruins my mood. I can't believe we're in the same class as someone so wicked. Talk about bad
luck!"
Ever since the class learned about what happened between Alice and Madison, they developed a strong hatred toward Alice.
"I wish we could kick her out of the class!"
Upon hearing this, Yvette said casually, "Don't worry. She won't be around for, much longer."
When Madison recovers from her injuries, Yvette would make Alice pay for her actions. She'll just let her have her way for a little while more.
Her classmates placed their full trust in Yvette's words. They immediately began nodding in joy. "Okay) Yvie. We'll wait for her to finally get out of our classroom!"
At a high-scale restaurant, Jacob was invited to a luncheon. Nancy and her father, William Smith, were present as well.
"Hello, Mr. Murray." When Jacob walked into the restaurant, all the other CEOs hurriedly got up to greet
him.
Jacob instinctively headed straight toward Nancy. He found her with her head lowered and her eyes glued to her phone screen. She seemed to be texting someone. She didn't even bother to look at him. Exasperated, he pursed his lips.
Who could she be talking to? She seemed pretty invested in the conversation.
She hadn't even replied to his messages yet! How rude of her!
Upon noticing Jacob's stare, William hurriedly intervened. "Don't be rude, Naney! Hurry up and say hello to Mr. Murray."
"It's okay," before Nancy could get up, Jacob reassured William in a gentle voice. "You don't need to be so harsh on her, William:"
William?
Everyone else froze. The Murray family and the Smith family weren't exactly close friends. Hence, it was extremely odd for Jacob to address William in such a friendly manner.
William himself had paused for a brief moment as well When he snapped out of it, he felt more than happy about the situation. Being acquainted with the Murrays was always beneficial to the family.
"Do you want to have dinner with me tonight, Nance? Yvie will be there too." Jacób walked over to her

and reached out to pet her head.

He was about to pet her head in front of all these people. He didn't just think of her like a sister; he was treating her like a child too. To Nancy, this felt embarrassing.
Hence, she moved away from his hand and gritted her teeth. Then, she pursed her lips and didn't say a
word.
Why was she acting so cold toward him? She didn't even let him pet her head anymore.
Jacob couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Despite this, he was still speaking to her in a gentle and loving
manner.
"What's wrong, Nance?"
When she still refused to respond, he started to,sound slightly resigned. "Did I upset you? Why are you ignoring me?"
When he sent her home after their last dinner together, he noticed that something was off. Initially, he thought that she was just tired. Although he didn't understand why, he now realized that she was actually mad at him instead. Upon seeing this, the CEOS in the room became even more shocked.
Despite his young age, Jacob was a skilled and ruthless businessman. His abilities were on par with the rest of them, who have been in this industry for a long time. Hence, it was unlike him to lower himself for a woman in this way. The men shot each other knowing looks. They understood why he was acting so friendly with William now -Jacob liked Nancy Smith!
"Stop being rude, Nancy!"
William adored his daughter, but he couldn't let her disrespect Jacob in front of so many people. Everything aside, he found it strange that the latter was doting on his daughter so much as well. Nancy unwillingly turned toward Jacob before offering him a brisk hello.
"Hello, Mr. Murray."
First, she didn't let him touch her. Now, she wouldn't even call him by his name! It looked like she was extremely upset at him.
Jacob rubbed his forehead in resignation. He didn't know what to do. He had little experience with cheering people up.
Yvette was mild-tempered. She'd never give him the silent treatment. On the other hand, if his younger brothers were upset, a couple of drinks were enough to cheer them up.
Unfortunately, Nancy wasn't one of his younger brothers. He would have to come up with something else to quell her anger!
Maybe Yvette would have an idea on what to do.
Nancy wasn't interested in socializing. She was only present at the luncheon because her father insisted she attend. So, she came up with an excuse and excused herself from the venue.
She couldn't help but frown at the way Jacob treated her like a child. "I have stunning features and a gorgeous figure-how could he treat me like a child? His taste in women is clearly lacking!" she grumbled. She couldn't believe that she had a crush on such a knucklehead for so many years!

The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. She'd like nothing more than to give him a piece of her mind right now.
After an extended period of time, she finally got a chance to approach him. In hopes of winning his affection, she tried her best to make herself look more mature. To her dismay, he only saw her as a younger sister! She was infuriated!
"Aren't you supposed to be overseas, Ms. Smith? Why are you back in the country? You've gotten prettier since the last time I saw you."
Nancy was still fuming when a shallow voice rang out from behind her.
