“Gabriella, the address of the cyber-cafe your best friends frequented is not that far from Xavier’s mansion”. Vanessa announced. Her eyes widened after she noticed her mistake. She quickly added, “I mean, the address of the cyber-cafe your best friends frequented is not that far from my husband’s mansion”. Eric and Derek forced themselves not to laugh at Vanessa. They found Vanessa funny because of her mistake and shocked reaction. ‘This is so sad. Poor Gabriella. All these years, I had misunderstood and blamed her. She didn't cheat on Master Xavier. Neither did she betray his love for her. Her best friends were the main genesis of everything’. Mrs Charlotte shook her head in pity as she thought. Gabriella was lost in her thoughts that she couldn't even realise the mistake Vanessa had made. “Didn't you hear what I said to you, Gabriella?”. Vanessa asked her, but there was no reply. Turning to Xavier, Vanessa noticed that he was staring at Gabriella with a poker expression on
After Mrs Charlotte left the living room, Vanessa and her twin brothers ate breakfast. They couldn't wait for Xavier because they couldn't find him anywhere in the mansion. When they saw that one of his cars was missing, they realised that he had left the mansion. It took them a few minutes to finish eating breakfast because Vanessa had hurried them to eat faster. She wanted all of them to report to her Diamond V company at once, because she had an important investor coming over today. “Seriously, who's the important investor you're refusing to tell us about, Vanessa?”. Derek raised an eyebrow as he asked her. “Yeah. And why didn't he show up and help you when your company was facing a crisis?”. Eric asked Vanessa too, and was impatiently waiting to hear what her reply would be. “Both of you are getting more annoying lately. Seriously. Now, shut up and quietly follow me outside”. Vanessa ordered them. After they went outside, they entered Vanessa's car, and she drove off and was
Gabriella thought about going to the airport to await Jasper's return. But after thinking much about it, she understood that it wasn't such a good idea. Because, what if she missed Jasper and couldn't find him at the airport? As she was walking around with her luggage, she came across a payphone on the way. Seeing this, an instant sigh of relief escaped from her mouth. Without any delay, she walked towards the payphone. She pressed Jasper's number and called it. After many attempts at calling Jasper, he finally answered the phone call. “Who is it?”. Gabriella flinched, and her eyes also widened, because Jasper's voice sounded cold and distant. She never knew that her own brother's voice could intimidate her to this extent. She was puzzled, but had to compose herself. She knew Jasper was being cold to her because he had no idea that it was her calling him. “Brother, it's me, Gabriella”. Jasper had come out of the airport. He initially wanted to hang up the phone call, but halte
Diamond V company, Vanessa and her twin brothers had arrived at the company and entered the building in front of them. After that, Eric and Derek followed Vanessa straight to her office. They were curious to see the important investor who their sister wanted to meet. As they arrived at the elevator, Vanessa, Eric and Derek entered it, even though there were some others who were already inside. After Vanessa pressed the button for her office floor, she stood straight with her hands folded on her chest. She didn't mind nor pay any attention to the way her employees were endlessly staring at her as if she were made of gold. The employees didn't want Vanessa and the twins to hear what they were about to discuss, so they stayed close to themselves as they began to whisper to each other. “Why didn't I notice this before? Our chairman is charismatic”. “Exactly. Her aura is breathtaking”. Another person agreed with what the first person said. “Our chairman has led the Di
‘But, why was their big sister annoyed?’. Eric and Derek wondered. Blake walked towards Vanessa because of the feisty look on her face. He asked her, “Are you alright, chairman Vanessa?”. Realisation hit Vanessa upon hearing Blake's question. A while ago, when she got a headache and became annoyed, she completely forgot about his presence. Staring at Blake with a slightly embarrassed and complicated look on her face, Vanessa replied to him, “I'm okay now, Blake. Don't mind me at all”. Because Vanessa had already replied to Blake, she turned to Eric and Derek, and said to them, “Blake is not the genius. And from now on, both of you aren't allowed to mention the genius in front of me again. Do you understand?”. “Alright, Nessa”. Eric and Derek both agreed, because they didn't want to argue with Vanessa and make her become more angry.Vanessa invited Blake to sit in front of her, at her desk, while Eric and Derek went to their desks to review files and some other important informati
Gabriella felt anxious. She also felt a deep sense of fear, which caused her to quickly turn to her brother. She shouted at him because she was panicking, “Jasper, this can't be happening!”. She couldn't believe that Nova, Isla, and the cyber cafe owner weren't inside the cyber cafe. Without thinking much, she shoved Captain Tristan, who was standing in front of her, and entered the cyber cafe. “I must see with my own eyes. There's no way that no one is inside there!”. She declared. “Gabriella, what are you doing?!”. Jasper asked her, and because she didn't answer him and was now inside the cyber cafe, he followed her. Jasper went after Gabriella into the cyber cafe mainly because he instinctively thought that being inside the cyber cafe at a moment like now was dangerous. Additionally, he could never allow or permit anything bad to happen to his little sister under his watch. After Gabriella and Jasper entered the cyber cafe, Captain Tristan stood there puzzled. He was stunn
{Flashback on what happened yesterday}On the rooftop,Vanessa arrived at the rooftop with Blake. Her back was facing him, so she turned around and looked at him. Unknown to both of them, Eric and Derek were spying and eavesdropping on them from a safe distance. Vanessa didn't hesitate and said to him, “We are already on the rooftop, Blake. You can feel at ease and tell me what's wrong. Back in my office, you told me you were desperate. Why is that? Is your problem so bad that it's making you feel desperate?”. Blake nodded at Vanessa. It was strange for him to say what was inside his mind, but he still went ahead and said, “Chairman Vanessa, my sister has been feeling so down and devastated. She has refused to eat anything, and she's getting skinnier as we speak. I had to return to the city because the nanny in charge of taking care of my sister was so worried about her that she would not stop calling me. Please, you have to do something about this, chairman Vanessa. My little sist
Vanessa got out of bed. She tried her best to stay calm, but in the end, she ruffled her hair aggressively.“Why is all of this happening to me? I don't understand. How come Claire is not the one who betrayed me and caused my company to go bankrupt? I, myself, found out that she was involved in it. There's no way I'm wrong. My hacking results have never proved me wrong before”. Vanessa said to herself. She was not ready to accept that she was wrong. To be sure that she wasn't busy deceiving herself or being overconfident, Vanessa quickly rushed to the desk. Her laptop was on top of the desk. She unfolded the laptop and switched it on right away. It took only a few seconds of loading, and the laptop was finally switched on. Vanessa began typing fast. She was searching for information concerning Claire by using her hacking abilities. Once again, with the help of her hacking abilities, Vanessa found out that Claire was truly Blake's little sister. Not only that, she again saw that
Xavier flinched, and his eyes widened because of what he heard Vanessa say to him. His hands left the steering wheel as he looked at Vanessa’s face. She was staring at him. “Are you serious about this, Nessa?”. A drop of sweat formed on his forehead as he asked her. He had truly expected her not to give him a chance. “Yes, I am serious about this, Xavier. I'm willing to give you a chance. But if by the end of our marriage contract and I do not have any feelings for you, we'll part ways”.Xavier nodded at Vanessa. His heart was pounding against his chest because Vanessa said she would part ways with him if she didn't have any feelings for him. ‘I will try my best to make you love me before our marriage contract ends, Nessa’. He promised himself in his mind, before he drove off. They were returning home. ….After their arrival at the mansion, Vanessa went to her bedroom to freshen up, while Xavier went to his own bedroom and laid on his king-sized bed. He had a big smile on his face
Vanessa had returned home but didn't see Xavier. She thought about going to Mrs Charlotte and asking her about Xavier’s whereabouts, before she remembered that Xavier must be in his company, since he had made an official announcement concerning his companies earlier. Another thought popped into her head. ‘Xavier named his company Xava? What does that name mean?’. She wondered and was about to take a step forward when she gasped upon realising what the name meant. “No way. Xava? Xa- vier? Va- nessa? That can't be”. She shook her head, as she refused to believe that Xavier would go to the extent of using the first two alphabets of her name. After brushing off her thoughts, she tried to leave the mansion and go to one of Xavier’s companies, when she received a call on her cell phone. As she stared at her cell phone’s screen, she saw that the number calling her was unknown. Irrespective of that, she answered the call. ‘What worse could possibly happen if I answered the call?’. That was
Everyone who had watched the evidence of how Sofia and Mrs Wilson had poisoned Xavier's mother, became so angry. Most of them left their houses and were going to Mr Wilson's mansion. Most of the people were Xavier's die-hard fans. Xavier also saw the evidence and was amazed by how fast Vanessa was able to find the culprits. He knew that it was her who had uploaded all that evidence. “She found them so fast. I wasn't even able to do that”. He muttered, before his mind thought about Sofia and Mrs Wilson. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “I promise I'll make sure that all of them rot in jail”. He declared, before he left the conference hall and quickly went to his car that was parked outside his company. He didn't know where Vanessa was at the moment, but he wanted to go to her company. He knew that even though Vanessa was not in her company, he could collect her cell phone’s number from Eric and Derek and call her. He wanted to collect the complete evidence from her an
The news about the T&N company and the Triple Union company has circulated almost everywhere. People were talking, uploading posts and commenting about it. Meanwhile, inside Cassandra’s office, Cassandra had a smile on her face after she carefully kept her cell phone on her desk. “I knew it and I said it. The slaying dragon would never have attacked the triple union company or anyone without a cause. Too bad for Nicholas and Alexa. Now they have caused their family’s companies to go down the drain. So sad”. She shook her head, before she added, “Why did the slaying dragon help chairman Vanessa? Is she acquainted with chairman Vanessa?”. She paused for a while, and then waved off her imaginations while admitting, “I doubt that. Maybe the slaying dragon simply helped chairman Vanessa, just like she had helped me before. But, I don't understand. That CCTV footage that the Slaying Dragon had uploaded on social media... How did she acquire it? I know she's a great hacker and can easil
‘I guess I should leave Zuri. She deserves punishment, I know that. But, she did what she did out of fear. I should probably leave her in the meantime’. Vanessa thought. And during that moment, she smiled upon remembering something. ‘That day Alexa and Nicholas visited my office to rub what they had done to me on my face... Did I forget that there was a secret CCTV camera in my office? Goodness me. I'll upload that CCTV footage online after I finish avenging myself’. {PS: the scene happened in chapter 8, titled; Meeting ex jerk fiance and best friend} Vanessa couldn't help it and burst out laughing with delight. She only stopped laughing because of Finn, who was still asleep. Her blue eyes darkened. “It's time to get to work”. She muttered as she stretched her fingers and prepared them for typing. A while later, Because it was both companies' main funds that Vanessa was taking away, it took her over an hour to accomplish her mission. She wiped the sweat on her forehead, as
Vanessa was riding her bike side by side with different motorists on the road, and sitting behind her on the bike was Claire, who was hanging on for her life. “Haha. Claire, your brother is tough. But fortunately, I was able to win back his support with the help of my stubbornness and you!”. Vanessa exclaimed. She was happy that even though Blake was upset with her for blaming Claire, he was able to sympathise with her, since it wasn't entirely her fault for blaming Claire.“Yeah, Blake is tough, Chairman Vanessa. But I'm glad we're back to being partners again”. Claire said, while trying to maintain her balance, so that she wouldn't fall off the bike. Because of how stiff Claire sat on the bike, Vanessa chuckled. ‘She must be afraid that she might fall off’. She thought, as she decided not to talk to Claire again until after they had arrived at her company and were standing on foot. Diamond V company,Vanessa's office,Derek and Eric were pacing back and forth together. They had a
Earlier,“What's taking them so long?”. Gabriella frowned as she asked herself. She had gotten tired of staying in the car for so long. The minute she got out of the car, that was when she saw Jasper and Captain Tristan returning with a handcuffed guy.She stared at the handcuffed guy carefully before she realised that he looked exactly like that cyber cafe owner whom Isla and Nova had bribed. “Finally”. She sighed in relief, and her eyes never left Alvin's side. After Jasper, Tristan and Alvin had arrived close to Gabriella, Gabriella forced herself not to attack Alvin. “Let's return to the police station”. Tristan said, after he had used force to make Alvin enter the car. Since Alvin was sitting in the backseat, Jasper told Gabriella to stay in the front seat with Captain Tristan, while he sat in the backseat with Alvin. He could never allow Gabriella to sit together with Alvin. Tristan started the car and drove off to the station. Within a few couples of minutes, they arrived
Inside the airport building,Tristan knew the face of Alvin, so the search was going pretty smoothly for him. After searching for Alvin for a few minutes, but couldn't find him anywhere in the airport, Tristan smirked as he thought to himself, ‘I knew it. There's no way these two amateur siblings would be able to find the people I couldn't find’. There was still a proud look on Tristan's face when he suddenly saw Alvin, who was at the boarding entrance and was holding blue luggage by his side. “What the”. He became utterly speechless and had to look at Jasper who was behind him. “This is impossible”. He clenched his fists as he muttered. “Did you say something just now?”. Jasper asked Tristan, but Tristan, who was stunned, didn't answer him. ‘I don't believe that these two amateur siblings found the culprits on their own. I must ask them how they did that after I arrested that annoying cyber cafe owner’. Tristan thought. He hated to admit it, but he was feeling completely incompete
Jasper and Gabriella had both arrived outside the police station in a taxi. After Jasper paid the taxi driver his money, he and Gabriella stared at each other's faces and nodded twice, before they walked into the building together.Upon their arrival inside the building, they were stopped by one of the police officers. “What can we help you two with?”. He asked them. Since he was assigned to the police station today, he had no idea that Jasper and Gabriella had come to the station before.“We're here to meet Captain Tristan. I hope he's around today?”. Gabriella said to the police officer. The police officer got confused for a second. ‘Both of you are here to meet Captain Tristan? But no one informed me about you two’. He wondered, and when he opened his mouth to say something, a deep voice was heard behind him. “I see both of you are here again”.The police officer turned around quickly and saw Tristan, whose hands were positioned behind his back. As for Gabriella and Jasper, they
