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

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 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.

    The rain lashed against the window. In the darkness, Vanessa clung to her fading consciousness, counting the sound of water droplets echoing from outside. She strained to hear over the storm, her heart pounding as anxiety coiled tighter within her.Suddenly, the door creaked open, a sliver of light slicing through the darkness of the room, and a familiar, beautiful face came into view.The girl in high heels—Beatriz Langley—let out a mocking laugh and flipped on the room’s light. “Tsk... tsk... Still waiting for Luca to save you? Haha... Stop dreaming, Vanessa...”She casually picked up a knife from the corner and sneered, “The golden girl, the treasure of the Ness Corporation—did you ever imagine this day would come?”Vanessa watched as Beatriz brandished the long knife and rasped, “Beatriz, if you let me go, I’ll give you anything you want—my shares, the chairman’s position. I won’t fight you anymore.”Beatriz sighed dramatically. “Back then, no matter what I did, you refused to let

    Five years later.In the principal's office of a prestigious kindergarten in the city."Look at how your child has treated my son! What if he ends up disfigured?!" A heavily made-up woman rolled up her sleeves and lunged at Vanessa but was stopped by the principal beside her."Calm down! Calm down! Let's talk this over civilly!"Vanessa squatted down, looking at the little girl in front of her, and gently asked, "Tell Mommy what happened."The five-year-old girl, with ponytails and a fair, round face full of grievances, said, "Today, when we were playing a game, Adrian lifted my skirt... and tried to touch my feet. Mommy, you said that girls' feet shouldn't be touched by others..."Vanessa's eyes turned icy. "Did he touch you?"The little girl shook her head. "I hit him when he reached out..."Vanessa gave a thumbs-up to the little girl. "Well done! If you encounter something like this again, do the same as today, understand?"The woman beside her scoffed and turned to the principal.

    In the taxi, Vanessa smirked as she watched Luca leave, a fierce determination flickering in her eyes.The pain she had endured five years ago would be returned to them a hundredfold!Suddenly, the little girl tugged at her shirt and called out worriedly, “Mommy, what is going on?”Vanessa quickly suppressed her emotions and turned to face her, a gentle smile on her lips. “Oh, nothing. What do you want to eat today, Isla?”“I want spaghetti, with shrimp and meatballs!”Vanessa chuckled and pinched the little girl’s tummy. “You little glutton, you already have so much meat on you!”The little girl puffed up her cheeks, turned her head away, and pretended to be angry. "Mommy is bad!""Hahaha! Okay, okay, Isla has no meat on her tummy!" Vanessa continued to tease her."Oh no, Mommy, stop laughing!" The little girl complained, grabbing her hair in frustration."I won’t laugh anymore; let’s go home and eat."That night, after putting the child to sleep, Vanessa got up to tidy up.The livin

    Beatriz observed Luca’s expression, unable to discern his emotions, and immediately continued her probing. "Forget that for now. I'm here today to discuss whether we should change Ezra's school. I’m worried about him being in the same kindergarten as Vanessa's child." With a loud ‘bang,’ Luca slammed the folder shut, a flash of anger flickering in his eyes. "Get out." Meeting his gaze, a chill spread through Beatriz's heart. She remained still and continued, "Vanessa and Daxton are not good people. How can their child be any better? I heard that she even got into fights with other kids in kindergarten, and I..." "Have you said enough?" "This is the truth! Five years ago, she betrayed you and slept with Daxton, colluding to deceive you. These..." Luca's dangerous gaze wrapped around Beatriz like a snake, his thin lips parting slightly. "Get lost." Realizing that Luca was genuinely angry, Beatriz smartly chose to leave, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. Although she had angered

She pulled up her PowerPoint presentation and continued, "Everyone, please take a look. This is the design draft we created after our company conducted a field investigation..."Before she could finish, she was interrupted: "I thought President Saxon's design draft would be something fresh. There's nothing innovative at all; it’s overly complicated. If we proceed with your proposal, it will be costly without any appealing features. Isn’t that just a facade?"Vanessa smiled slightly, "But compared to other companies, we place greater emphasis on the building's value retentio

    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. &

This was an elite kindergarten, and any mishap with these children would be a heavy burden for her as a mere teacher.Ezra felt panic rising as he witnessed the scene. Meeting the teacher’s gaze, he stammered, “I’m sorry, teacher, I pushed her.”Realizing that this was the son of the Kensington—a figure not to be trifled with—the teacher felt a headache coming on.“It hurts, it hurts…”At that moment, Isla’s soft cries caugh

    “What is this?” Vanessa asked, puzzled.“It’s like this, President Saxon. After discussions at headquarters, they believe you’ve excelled in all areas and have effectively passed their evaluation. As a result, they’ve decided to promote you to a position at headquarters.”Upon hearing this, Vanessa felt the thin sheets of paper in her hand suddenly weigh a ton.Accepting this position meant she would have to work abroad for some time, which meant no seeing Luca and Isla for the next three months.Not taking the job would mean giving up a once-in-a-lifetime promotion opportunity. Moreover, Beatriz had been making quite a few moves overseas recently; if she could go there, it would certainly help her deal with Ness Corp.Vanessa found herself at a crossroads, only able to tell the visitor that she needed to think it over.
