Beatriz's Dirty Plan
Last Updated:
2025-01-08 13:51:57Vanessa was still lost in her thoughts when the bubbling sound from the pot brought her back to reality.
Seeing the polenta boiling over, she hurriedly turned off the heat, but in her haste, she burned her hand on the spilled polenta.
She gasped and quickly pulled her hand back.
Luca rushed over, his footsteps heavy. “What happened?”
Vanessa was a bit surprised to see him and instinctively hid her hand behind her back. “Nothing, I was just making polenta.”
Making polenta?
Upon seeing the chaotic kitchen, Luca immediately understood what had happened. “Did you get burned? Let me see.”
He grabbed Vanessa's hand and, seeing that only the skin was red and there were no blisters, he sighed in relief. “You should apply some toothpaste to the burn to ease the pain.”
Vanessa hurried out to treat her burn, while Luca stayed in the kitchen to clean up the mess.

At this moment, Grandpa Kensington had no idea that the people he had sent out had already been bought off by Beatriz, and no valuable information had been relayed back.Luca had finally sensed that something was amiss. His assistant suddenly called to report on the handling of the project, but the delayed payments were never his intention. Moreover, from what he knew about Grandpa Kensington, the old man had long ceased to involve himself in the company's affairs, so this didn’t seem like a directive from him.Currently, the only one eyeing the K Group was Beatriz, and the individuals behind the delayed payments were likely her people.Thinking of this, Luca clenched his fists in anger.He had underestimated Beatriz, who had unexpectedly extended her reach into his territory.However, Luca was also clear-headed; he couldn’t confront Beatriz directly just yet. It was better to pretend he was unaware and wait for the fish to surface befo

Mariah felt a bit incredulous hearing this story: "Isn't it enough to do a paternity test to find out if he’s your biological son?"Luca shook his head. "It's not that simple. Beatriz is very cunning; I’m afraid even the paternity test results could be fake. Besides, she has already won over the old man. He believes that Ezra is his own grandson now, and at this point, whether it’s true or not has become less important."Mariah listened quietly, her tongue clicking at the twists and turns within wealthy families. The Kensingtons was relatively straightforward, but in more complicated families, it could easily become a drama fit for a palace intrigue.Of course, Mariah didn't miss the key point in Luca's words and pressed on, "So do you care whether Ezra is your biological son?"Luca's hand trembled slightly as he held the wine glass.

As he opened his eyes, he was met with two pretty faces right in front of him, and for a moment, he was too stunned to react.After a few seconds of silence, he recalled the events of the previous night, feeling a bit embarrassed.Just as he was about to say something, the little girl spoke up, “Uncle, you weren’t really drunk l

Meanwhile, at Cortex, Mariah had been busy with filming.Working on set during the day and investigating the fake account at night had left Mariah exhausted.The next day on set, Mariah was out of sorts. Several times, staff members called her name before she responded, making her colleagues think she was lost in thought. One joked, “Miss Hutchson, where were you last night? You seem so distracted!”“I…” Mariah was about to explain when suddenly her vision darkened, and she collapsed.“Miss Hutchson!”Leonardo was posing according to the photographer’s instructions when he heard the shout. He quickly turned to see Mariah fainting and rushed over, forgetting about the ongoing shoot.“Mariah! Mariah…” He called out several times, but she didn’t respond. Worried, Leonardo picked her up in his arms and instructed a nearby staff member, “Call for a car. We’re going to the hospital.”The scene descended into chaos as the shooting was

For some reason, seeing Mariah like this made Leonardo feel uncomfortable.“Enough. Let’s not discuss this anymore.” He directly pulled his manager out of the room.“You’ve misunderstood her; we’re not in that kind of relationship,” Leonardo stated plainly.Though he understood his artist well, the manager still felt uneasy. The girl was indeed attractive, and it was normal for Leonardo to feel drawn to her.Reading the manager’s suspicious expression, Leonardo suppressed his unease and said, “Don’t worry; I’m not interested in her and won’t date her.”Hearing this assurance, the manager’s expression improved a little. “That’s best. Don’t worry; the company will quickly suppress this matter. But you must remember, no dating.”Knowing the manager was looking out for him and the company, Leonardo nodded.Unbeknownst to them, M

Knock knock.The sudden sound of knocking interrupted the two's thoughts.It was Luca, who was worried about Vanessa and had followed her to the hospital, bringing along some late-night snacks.“Are you hungry? I brought some snacks. Want to eat?” Luca waved the food in front of Vanessa, but she showed little reaction, and Mariah shook her head as well.Clearly, neither of them had much of an appetite at the moment.However, seeing Luca gave Vanessa an idea.“If you have some free time, could you go talk to Cassandra?”“Talk to Cassandra? Is she sick too?” Luca looked confused.“Of course not! What I mean is, can you find a chance to chat with her and see who she actually likes?”Vanessa

If you have something to say, just say it directly,” Vanessa said, frowning.Mariah didn’t know how to start, hinting, “Uh... Vanessa, why don’t you check your phone?”It was only then that Vanessa noticed the content Mariah had shared with her. She read the entire message with a blank expression, but her heart was already in turmoil.She had clearly sent Luca to check on things, and something might have happened between him and Cassandra, but why did she still feel upset?Meanwhile, Luca had just arrived at the office when he noticed the strange looks from his employees.

Just that one movement almost drained her of all her strength.Leaning against the leg of the desk, she glanced at the bruises covering her body and felt a surge of hatred toward Beatriz.With her hands and feet still bound, Mariah was unable to move much and had no strength to escape.She sighed inwardly, hoping that Vanessa and the others would notice she was missing and come to rescue her soon; she really felt like she couldn’t hold on much longer.Lost in her thoughts, Mariah couldn’t help but drift off to sleep.When

When he found no leads, he decided to come to Vanessa for help.Feeling dejected, Leonardo couldn’t help but blame himself.

“Ha, yes, it was me. What are you going to do about it?” Beatriz looked dismissively at Mariah and continued, “In any case, it won’t be long before you can’t speak at all.”Mariah understood from Beatriz’s words that she intended to finish her off, and she quickly began to think of a way to escape this predicament.“Do you have the recorder now?” Mariah suddenly remembered and asked anxiously.At her words, Beatriz pulled the recorder out of her bag. “This one?” She casually placed it on the desk.Since Mariah was still tied up and unable to move, Beatriz had no fear that she could take the recorder.Mariah glanced at the recorder and had a sudden idea. She smiled and said, “Do you really think having the recorder means you’re in the clear? To be honest, while that person was playing the recording for m
The Billionaire Ex-Wife Returns What Actually Happened
Mariah successfully arranged a meeting with the person trying to sell the recorder at a high price, thanks to a private investigator.“You must be Miss Mariah,” the man said, grinning as he waved the recorder in his hand. “I’m a straightforward person—just give me five million, and this recorder will be yours.”“I want to listen to the contents first. How do I know you’re not trying to scam me?” Mariah replied without hesitation; she had no intention of being cheated out of her money.The man chuckled knowingly and turned on the recorder. A voice slowly emerged.“Help me kill someone; it’s best if it looks like a suicide.”“Kill someone for five million. After the job is done, I’ll send you abroad. How does that sound?”“Exactly.

“Like what?” Craig suddenly became interested, curious to see what tricks this woman was playing.“Um…” Vanessa assessed the clothing of the young men across from her. “I have several projects I’m working on, and if you’re interested, I can promise to give you the opportunity to collaborate.”Craig’s mind began to waver. For people like them, the last thing they wanted was the monotonous nine-to-five job, which was why they had chosen to take risks and make quick money.Vanessa’s proposal was just what they wanted—not only could they earn money, but they could also invest it and grow their capital.Thinking this over, Craig nodded and said, “Alright, you can offer us the corresponding money and resources in exchange, and we can promise not to harm you.”“Not just that.

“Hello, may I ask if you are...”Beatriz’s words were abruptly cut off by the other party’s impatience. “Who are you?”Taking a deep breath to suppress her anger, Beatriz replied, “You know Alden Vaughn, right?”“Alden? Isn’t he already… So who are you?” The other person seemed surprised.Beatriz didn’t want to waste time on idle chatter and coldly said, “That’s not your concern. I have a job for you.”“What is it?”“I need you to teach someone a lesson—specifically, Vanessa Saxon, the president of Cortex. Make her suffer as much as possible, using whatever means you see fit. The more she hurts, the more you’ll be rewarded. After it’s done, you won’t miss out on your benefits.”Upon hearing this,

Mariah was sitting in Isla's hospital room when she suddenly received a phone call.Looking at the caller ID, she recognized it was the private investigator that Cassandra had hired for her.Cassandra had been asking the investigator to look into Beatriz's affairs, so this call likely meant there was new progress on the case.With that thought in mind, Mariah stepped outside while answering the phone.“Miss Hutchson, I have an important lead,” the investigator said as soon as she picked up.“What lead?” Mariah's interest piqued immediately.“Someone on an internal website is offering a recording device for a high price. They claim it contains evidence of Beatriz killing President Pako.”“What?!” Beatriz was stunned to hear this. She had always known that Beatriz was not simple, but she never

Beatriz rushed over, shouting, “Ezra, where’s the doctor?!”Before long, a doctor from the director's office heard the commotion and hurried out to check.Seeing it was a child, the doctor approached and carefully examined Ezra's physical condition. “It looks like he fainted from being overly emotional; there’s nothing physically wrong. There’s no need to worry; just keep an eye on him for a bit.”The doctor then turned to Beatriz. “If you’re really concerned, you can go ahead and complete the hospitalization procedures, and he can stay here for observation.”Beatriz nodded. “Could you arrange Ezra’s room to be close to Isla Saxon’s?”Those around them didn’t think much of it, assuming the two little ones were just friends who could keep each other company and wouldn’t feel too lonely.

“Are you okay, kid?”Mariah hadn’t expected to stumble upon such a scene, but thankfully, she had arrived just in time. Otherwise, the child might have been in serious trouble.Ezra finally came to his senses and looked up to see a beautiful stranger. He muttered a polite ‘thank you’ but then lowered his head, trying to walk past her.Hospitals tend to be crowded, and seeing such a small child wandering alone without an adult was concerning. Mariah couldn’t help but ask, “Where are your parents? Aren’t they with you?”Ezra simply shook his head, his tear-filled eyes tugging at Mariah’s heart.The poor child must have had a fight with his parents. However, ignoring him wasn’t the solution.Having come to the hospital to check on Isla, Mariah wasn’t in a hurry and thought it best to help. &
