It was only around 3 PM, and Vanessa had already briefed her assistant before leaving work.

She ran into Mariah, who had just seen off a client. “President, are you planning to work yourself to death, trying to stick it out until the very end?”

Seeing her joke about herself, Vanessa pretended to be angry. “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll seal your lips!”

“Alright, alright, no more jokes. Where are you off to?” Mariah offered a few options. “Are you going to meet a client or the president of the K Group?”

Vanessa rolled her eyes and explained, “Didn’t you say I should pay more attention to my daughter? I’m picking her up from school and taking her out to eat.”

“Oh, how rare! President Saxon remembers she has a daughter.”

“This is the company; don’t tarnish my reputation.”

After some playful banter, Mariah finally laughed and said, looking at the time, “You should hurry; otherwise, you’ll be late.”

Realizing the time, Vanessa immediately head

Is she too dumb to hire personal security? She's survived like 3-4 attempts on her life, 2 of which involved her kid. You'd think she'd have guards by now. Meanwhile, this whole revenge thing doesn't seem to include the man who forcefully tried to abort her viable 30 week pregnancy. Typical

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife Returns   Wedding Invitation?

    As soon as Isla heard the word “safe,” she immediately hugged Luca like a little ornament. With a charming smile, she sweetly asked, “Then, Uncle, can you come pick me up when Mommy is busy?” Luca was taken aback because, apart from Ezra, almost all the other children would avoid him, intimidated by his cold, emotionless demeanor. Sometimes, they would even cry in fear, making him hesitant to approach. During their first meeting, he thought she was afraid of him; now, why had she become so clingy? Vanessa looked surprised as well, trying to signal Isla several times, but she simply refused to get down from Luca's arms. With no other choice, Vanessa could only apologize awkwardly, saying, “She’s just a child; please don’t be upset, Mr. Kensington.” “Not at all.” His tone seemed to grow even colder. Just when Vanessa thought he didn’t like clingy kids— “Do you

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife Returns   I Like Luca

    After a few pleasantries, the renowned host was invited to manage the live program and proceedings. Following performances by several popular singers and idols, it was time for Luca to take the stage for his speech, after which the ball would commence.Vanessa felt a bit uncomfortable; ever since the misunderstandings arose, no one had cast her a friendly glance. The lecherous men around her looked at her with clear intentions.The ball began.Several gentlemen approached her to invite her to dance, but she turned them all down.The reason was simple: their gazes were somewhat frivolous, and if she agreed, it might be misinterpreted as consenting to some sort of deal or arrangement.She firmly declined and remained at ease.Cassandra, who had also rejected many invitations, approached Vanessa, looking rather tired.“None of

    Cortex, Rooftop.Vanessa, along with the staff and Mariah, enjoyed beer and fried chicken on the rooftop, discussing dreams and watching the night sky.That night, they didn’t bring up work even once; it felt like they all had an unspoken understanding.They talked about life, ideals, grievances, and indulged in gossip.Eventually, the gossip turned to Vanessa herself, and the employees curiously asked if Luca and Cassandra were really a couple.She neither confirmed nor denied it, simply stating that their relationship seemed good, but they were just classmates in college. As for now… she didn’t know.While the others spoke with a tone of mere gossip, Mariah seemed to catch on to something deeper.As dawn broke, Vanessa called cars for everyone. After waiting for the drivers to arrive, they were sent home to rest.Just after finishing her shower and preparing to sleep before starting work again, Mariah stopped her.“Com

    Everything had gone so smoothly, and it all surprised her, as if someone else were collaborating with her.From every aspect, she had benefited.Once back at the company, she immediately shared the good news with Mariah.Upon learning that all her efforts had not been in vain, Mariah finally relaxed and slumped onto the sofa in the president's office, looking utterly drained and lifeless.“President, my dear president, since the project has been approved, can you let me off for two days so I can rest?”Vanessa nodded with a smile, but before Mariah could celebrate, she added, “Just wait a moment. As long as the cooperation contract is signed, you can take three days off right away. How about that?”Mariah, feeling relieved and with no complaints, jumped up excitedly and extended her pinky to make a pact, saying, “No problem!”“How childish! Get back to work; slacking off will cost you a day off,” Vanessa teased.At her words, M

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife Returns   I'm Sorry

    Vanessa was very alert; after all, the other party was Luca, and she wouldn’t let her guard down easily.“Go ahead, what do you want?”Luca suddenly let out a cold laugh, as if surprised. “Anything?”Hearing this, she frowned slightly and hesitated before saying, “Except for my daughter.”“Ha ha ha, what do I want with your daughter? Could it be...?”He deliberately left her in suspense.Vanessa fell for it, nervously asking, “Could it be what?”He shouldn’t know that Isla was her daughter...He shouldn’t know...“Is your daughter’s father me?” He had said this deliberately to probe her.The result nearly scared Vanessa into a trap; fortunately, she reacted quickly, warning him in anger, “If you joke like this again, then our cooperation can end here.”Luca hadn’t expected her to take his joke seriously.“It was just a joke, and you are actually a

    At a high-end seaside restaurant, the waves danced like flowers, and the sea breeze was sweet. She arrived half an hour early, wanting some time alone to enjoy the scenery.Memories gradually washed over her, those brief yet beautiful moments with Luca, which momentarily clouded her mind like a dream.Hugging her knees, she sat on the beach, watching the waves and other couples frolicking in the sand, feeling a twinge of envy.“If five years ago you had believed me, maybe we would be a happy family of three by now…”Vanessa mumbled, surprised to find that she still harbored fantasies about Luca. She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts.“Vanessa…”The call from behind startled her, and she turned around in surprise.Seeing that it was indeed Luca, she concealed all her warmth and put on a look of disdain, frowning as she faced him.“Mr. Kensington, we aren’t close enough for first names yet.”She said coolly befo

    Vanessa looked at the nearby roads; the closest place was Daxton's house. However, the car behind was tailing her too closely, and she had no chance to turn around. After some thought, she made a very simple decision!To the Kensington residence!...Luxury villa area, at the entrance.Vanessa was stopped by the guard, who requested her access card or the electronic code for entry.But she had neither. Glancing at the two cars hiding in the shadows, she awkwardly said, “Can you wait a moment? I’ll call someone to pick me up.”The guard nodded, standing beside her car.After observing for a while, he took out his walkie-talkie and called over several patrolling guards, seemingly having noticed that other vehicles were following her.Vanessa tried to call Grandpa, but his phone was turned off…Knock, knock, knock...The guard knocked on her car window.

    Magnus reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face, his voice hoarse. “My Grandpa believed you were the one who set the fire that killed Matthias. He wouldn’t pass up any chance to take revenge on you. If I hadn’t done what I did, your life would have been in danger.”“Sis, brother-in-law didn’t mean to deceive you. Please forgive him.” Tobias pleaded anxiously.“You bad daddy! You made Mommy cry! I hate you!” Maxime angrily raised his little arm and shoved him away before hugging Senna tightly, speaking in an old-fashioned tone, “Mommy, don’t cry. Maxime loves you the most.”Looking at his own son standing like a wall between them, Magnus’s temple twitched violently. He barely resisted the urge to throw the little brat out.“Maxime, kids shouldn’t interrupt when adults are talking. Let me talk to your daddy, okay?” Senna stroked his head, her mind overflowing

    It was unclear how much time had passed when a beautiful melody drifted into Senna’s ears. This song…“Sis, don’t sleep anymore. Please wake up, okay? I miss you so much. Sis, it’s been so long since you sang me to sleep. Do you still remember this song? You used to sing it to me all the time. Please wake up, sis. I’m so worried about you.”The familiar voice echoed in her ears—it was Tobias’s voice. Could it be… that she had died and met Tobias in heaven?“Sis, wake up! Open your eyes and look at me! It’s me, Tobias. How could you be so cruel and leave me behind?”Tobias’s voice grew increasingly sorrowful, choked with tears. Big, warm drops of his tears landed on Senna’s face.“Tobias…” It really was his voice. Senna’s eyes flew open, and the moment she saw that familiar little face so close to hers, tears gushed uncontrollably dow

    But, the butler warning came too late. The sharp blade plunged mercilessly into the old master’s abdomen."You old bastard," Astrid sneered, her voice dripping with venom. "Three years ago, you promised me that if I got rid of Senna, I would marry into the Voss family as the young madam. But you went back on your word—I tolerated it. And now, when Magnus’s people are hunting me down, you want to cut ties with me? Since I’m doomed anyway, I’ll take you down with me. HAHAHA!""Old Master!"Blood spurted out as Astrid pulled out the knife. The butler’s face turned ashen with terror. Without hesitation, he raised his gun.Bang!The gunshot rang out.Astrid’s crazed laughter was abruptly silenced. A bullet pierced her forehead. Her wide, crazed eyes froze in place as her body collapsed to the ground, lifeless, her expression frozen in disbelief."Old Master, are you alright? Someone call for help!

    Daring to commit violence in Rosewood Manor, Astrid had already prepared to risk everything. After escaping, she headed straight to Voss Manor—because at this point, the only person in the world who could protect her was the old man.Inside Voss Manor, the old man was studying a chess board, frowning as he realized he had backed himself into a dead end. He sighed softly. “Fated.”“Master.” The butler entered with Astrid.Disheveled and panicked, Astrid collapsed to her knees in front of the old man, sobbing. “Grandpa, I did as you wanted! This time, Senna is surely dead! I helped you get rid of her! But Magnus won’t let me go—he’ll kill me, he’ll tear me apart! Grandpa, what do I do now?”The old man frowned, glaring at the butler in displeasure. “Can’t you see I’m busy? Why bring her here? Get rid of her.” To him, she wasn’t even worth as much as a dog.

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife Returns   S2- Two Options

    Magnus’s gaze lowered slightly. He wasn’t wrong.After the car accident, his legs had been injured, but not to the extent of being crippled. He had faked it deliberately—to make the old man feel guilty, to show him what it was like to lose control.He was the eldest grandson of the Voss family. His father had died young, caught in a revenge killing. His mother, unable to bear the loss, chose to end her life by jumping into the sea, leaving him behind. Devastated, the old man pinned all his hopes on Magnus, raising him with an iron hand, demanding perfection. And he delivered, becoming the ideal heir—until Senna appeared.Senna’s mother had been divorced by the Thorne family for alleged infidelity. A daughter born of such a woman was nothing but a disgrace in the old man’s eyes. He couldn’t tolerate her ruining the successor he had spent decades grooming. And when Matthias died, it became the spark that ignited the traged

    Before Magnus could turn around, a brutal punch slammed into his face, sending him staggering back two steps. He grunted in pain and was about to retaliate when a small head peeked out from behind him.A pair of large, round, jet-black eyes blinked at him, filled with curiosity. The chubby little face scrunched up in confusion before a childish voice spoke, "Huh? Uncle... He looks just like my dad..."Magnus's raised fist froze mid-air.His gaze locked onto the little boy, who was the spitting image of himself as a child. He was too stunned to speak."That's right! He’s the bad dad who nearly got you killed, and now he's hurting your mom! Because of him, you’re about to lose your mother!"With seething anger, Caius pulled the child forward, pointing at Magnus in accusation."I'm losing my mom?"The little boy repeated the words twice as if trying to process them. Then, his face suddenly changed.Panic-stricken, he b

    The venomous voice sent a shiver down Senna’s spine. She was about to jump off the swing when a sudden, forceful push sent her flying forward. She let out a startled scream as she crashed to the ground.Just as she struggled to get up, a sharp, searing pain stabbed through her abdomen. Her face instantly turned deathly pale."You should’ve died three years ago! Why are you still alive?" Astrid sneered, dressed as a maid to sneak in. She gripped a wooden stick, her face twisted with hatred. "If it weren’t for you, I would be an award-winning actress by now. My endorsements would be endless! You ruined my career—was that not enough? Why did you have to ruin my marriage too?"As she raised the stick, she suddenly caught a whiff of something metallic—blood. Looking down, she saw crimson liquid trailing down Senna’s leg. She froze for a second before her fury erupted."You wretched woman… you're pregnant again?!"

    After returning from the old master's place, Astrid spent the entire night unable to sleep. She couldn't believe she had been deceived—no, she refused to believe it was true. Magnus was so wealthy; why would he bother scheming for her shares? Compared to his vast fortune, her shares were insignificant, a mere drop in the ocean.The next morning, she rushed to the headquarters of Voss Group. Everyone in the company assumed she was the future president’s wife, so no one dared to stop her.She barged straight into Magnus’s office, watching as he reviewed and signed documents. Taking out her compact mirror, she carefully touched up her weary face, ensuring there were no flaws before putting on a bright smile and knocking gently on the door.“Magnus.”Magnus glanced at her. Despite her meticulously refined appearance, he still found her face utterly displeasing. His voice was cold, devoid of any warmth.&ldquo

    The better Magnus treated her, the more terrified Senna became. His enigmatic behavior left her unable to grasp his true intentions. What was he plotting?Three years ago, how had he deceived her, stolen her heart and body, only to throw her into prison, kill her younger brother, and force her to drink that glass of abortion medicine? The pain and hatred he inflicted on her were like a brand, burned deep into her soul.No, she couldn’t waver. She had to avenge herself. In one week, he would meet his end.“Senna, I’m heading back to the company first. Once I finish my work, I’ll take you out for a walk.” Magnus reached out, gently brushing his fingers through her hair as he spoke in a low voice.Senna set down her spoon, her voice cold as ice. “I don’t want to go out.”“If you don’t want to, then we won’t. I’ll come back tonight and have dinner with you.” Magnus took her hand and brought it to his lips, pressing a soft ki
