    Just as the family of three exited the building, Khloe came chasing with the bouquet Francis brought."Nessa." She ran with the flowers and stopped in front of Vanessa before giving them to her while explaining with a soft and gentle smile, "Francis asked me to help give you these flowers on his behalf. He said you had misunderstood him and were unwilling to receive these flowers. Actually, you did misunderstand him, Nessa. He didn't visit you because he was swamped.

    Finally, Francis couldn't control himself any longer and wrapped one hand around her waist while still holding on to the flowers he was reluctant to throw away. After the kiss, she caressed his swollen cheek and asked, "What did you do to make her slap you?" Francis explained aggrievedly, "Actually, I didn't do anything to her. She ignored me, so I wanted to grab her hand, but then she turned around and slapped me. Her movement was so quick that I didn't have the time to react and got slapped right in the face." He continued to mumble, "Why didn't I discover that she was so nimble and, not to mention, very strong? When her slap ended on my cheek, it burned, and I could even feel it swell up." Resentment appeared in Khloe's eyes as she snarled, "Your family and I aren't even willing to touch a strand of your hair, but she dares to slap you. Just wait until I get my hands on her. Afterward, I'll help you get your justice and make her pay twice as much, don't worry this won't go un

    It was then he realized that his girlfriend seem to love smiling. "When will Mr D'Angelo be arriving?" "12:00PM, so you must be home before noon." As she looked at the time,Vanessa suggested, "Can't I arrive home before 12:30PM? My dad is taking us to Paradise hotel for lunch. Its said to be New Haven's best hotel and it has the best dishes." Her mouth couldn't help but water at the thought of all the dishes she would get to eat . This was her second lifetime, but no one has ever brought her to Paradise hotel for a meal.As she thought about it, she has failed as the heiress of the Lawsons.

    As Khloe was talking, Vanessa was eyeing her. She knew that Khloe did not want her to enter the company. Meanwhile, Khloe looked calm the whole time. Vanessa withdrew her gaze and explained, "Dad, I think mum is right. It's our family matter and we should be able to make decisions ourselves. I only need your approval to work in our family company. " Previously, Leonardo mentioned that Khloe would still see her as the enemy regardless of whether she wanted to fight over their parents' inheritance. As long as she was the biological daughter of the Lawson house hold, she would be a threat to Khloe. As she thought about it, she figured Leonardo would support her decision to enter the Lawson corporation, as joining the corporation meant she was competing against Khloe. Adrian glared at his daughter while trying not to mention the Quinns' house rules because Khloe is present in the room. "Let's talk about this later."
