At this moment, Mrs. Radcliffe seemed to be in a state of desperation, continuing, “Vanessa, how could you refuse to help us at such a critical moment, especially after all the good Daxton has done for you?”
The words from Mrs. Radcliffe, coupled with Mr. Radcliffe's disappointed gaze, pierced Vanessa’s heart like sharp arrows.
Tears welled in Vanessa's eyes as she responded angrily, “I’ve already repaid any debts to Daxton and the Radcliffe family. You’re looking for the wrong person today.”
With that, Vanessa instructed her assistant to see them out.
After sending the Radcliffe couple away, Vanessa leaned back in her chair and let out a heavy sigh, but her thoughts were a tangled mess.
Luca had originally only wanted to check on Vanessa. As h

Without Alden, Beatriz felt as if she had lost her right-hand man. The thought of having her most useful pawn ripped away left her deeply resentful."It's all Vanessa’s fault," she fumed. "If that wretched woman hadn’t kept competing with me over Luca, I wouldn’t have gotten caught up in this mess and made these mistakes."“I’ll make her pay,” Beatriz swore under her breath.Since Vanessa cared so much about Cortex, Beatriz decided she’d make sure that company couldn't survive. ‘Let’s see how she’ll fight me after that.’With that thought, she picked up her phone and called one of her business partners. “Mr. Aamon, it’s been a while.”“Miss Langley! What a pleasant surprise. What made you think of calling me today?” Aamon sounded genuinely surpris

Upon receiving the response, Vanessa felt a bit disappointed, but at least the other party hadn’t outright rejected her, which made her feel there was still a chance to negotiate.“Alright, I hope Mr. Aamon will reconsider. I’ll take my leave for now.”After leaving Mr. Aamon's office, Vanessa met with several other executives, but received the same reply from each of them.Back at Cortex, she sat down and closed her eyes for a moment to rest.After a day of running around, she was utterly exhausted.When Luca arrived, her assistant stopped him at the door. “Mr. Kensington, Miss Saxon is resting right now and isn’t available to meet.

Leonardo seemed to pick up on something and asked hesitantly, “Are you calling Cassandra?”“Do you know where she is?” William stood up in a rush, accidentally knocking the chair behind him, which screeched across the floor.“Yeah, she mentioned it before she left. She’s probably still abroad attending an award ceremony, but she should be back by tomorrow. You might want to contact her agent; she probably has Cassandra’s itinerary.”Hearing this, William didn’t hesitate and immediately hailed a taxi to the capital airport.Throughout the ride, he repeatedly called Cassandra and her agent, but neither answered.With no other options, William asked a friend to investigate Cassandra’s team’s itinerary while he went straight to the airport. He waited for hours but saw no sign of her.A while later,

“What do you want to talk about?” Leonardo asked, watching William’s back.William abruptly turned around, grabbing Leonardo by the collar. “You’ve got some nerve asking that!” he growled.Before Leonardo could respond, a harsh slap landed across his face.Leonardo didn’t retaliate. He calmly touched his cheek where the slap had landed and said lightly, “My face is insured. If you want to hit me, aim somewhere else.”Seeing Leonardo’s nonchalant attitude, as if this had nothing to do with him, William became even angrier, throwing punch after punch, this time sparing Leonardo’s face and landing the blows on his body.Seething, William spat, “How dare you come here? What right do you have to see Mariah?”Originally standing there as if made of stone, Leonardo’s calm demeanor finally cracked. He responded with a sneer, “Oh? If I have no right, then what g

I’ll stay here and take care of things.”William shook his head. “I’ll stay with Mariah. You both should go home and rest.”Vanessa hesitated, feeling the weight of the complex relationships between everyone involved, which only made her headache worse.Luca watched with a detached look and said to Vanessa, “Vanessa, maybe we should go. Isla’s still waiting at home, and with William here, I doubt there will be any problems.”Reluctantly, Vanessa nodded, especially after seeing Mariah’s silence, and decided to leave.Meanwhile, Leonardo was still filming a show and hadn’t checked his phone.When filming finally wrapped up, Leonardo grabbed his phone, only to have it immediately taken by his manager.“Leo, we have another gig lined up

She had thought that Leonardo at least had some feelings for her, but now it seemed that, despite their mutual attraction, it wouldn’t lead anywhere. There were too many barriers between them, and just the unspoken rule that celebrities couldn’t date was enough to crush any tender hopes she held.Lost in thought, she didn’t notice a drunken man stumble out of a nearby alley, heading straight toward her.Without warning, he bumped into her, sending her crashing to the ground.Seeing this, he lunged at her.

Mariah also felt the oppressive atmosphere in the car and shifted restlessly, moving closer to Leonardo to create some distance from the manager. The manager immediately frowned and sneered, “I didn’t expect Miss Hutchson to be this kind of person. Last time at the hospital, you promised me you would keep your distance from Leonardo. How is it that just a few days later, you can’t help yourself? Let me tell you, don’t think these tricks can fool everyone; I’ve seen many seduction tactics like yours.” Mariah's expression instantly turned cold, and she was clearly displeased. However, due to the manager’s status, she suppressed her anger and tried to explain patiently, “You’ve really misunderstood; I absolutely don’t mean that.” The manager curled his lip, not believing Mariah’s words. Leonardo also became a bit unhappy; he had initiated this meeting, so why wa

“Grandpa, I know everything. But haven’t I already been dismissed?” Luca’s calm voice came through the receiver, and the old man could detect a hint of grievance in his tone. Clearing his throat, the old man replied solemnly, “Luca, this situation has come up unexpectedly. I plan to personally go to the company, and I’d like you to come with me.” After a moment of silence, Luca refused, “Grandpa, I think I’ll pass. It’s rare for me to have a break, and I’d like to rest a bit more.” Hearing this, the old man sighed. “Alright then, I won’t force you.” He understood that Luca’s reluctance to return to the company was likely due to Vanessa. It was a rare opportunity for Luca to spend time with her, and he didn’t want anyone to interfere. Besides, going to the company now might not be very useful anyway. Beatriz was no
