A simple sentence stirred up a storm in Vanessa's heart, even making her question whether her decision to seek revenge against Luca was the right one.

The handsome man before her, with his deep, affectionate gaze, gave Vanessa the illusion that they had been deeply in love for many years.

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Vanessa was startled and quickly extinguished it.

After all, five years had passed since she last saw Luca. Even if she had been sincere toward him five years ago, had he ever truly liked her? Even without those misunderstandings, his consistently indifferent attitude over the years was all too real.

Vanessa didn’t dare to ponder further or ask the man before her; she feared it might all just be her own delusion.

    Of course, Vanessa had another goal: to take this opportunity to clarify with Luca that they could never be together, so he could let go of his hopes.However, Luca was unaware of Vanessa's thoughts. As soon as he heard that she was willing to go out with him, his gloomy heart instantly brightened. He quickly replied, “Sure, let’s go to the zoo.”For some reason, Grandpa Kensington also found out about this plan.He glanced at Ezra, who was silently reading a book beside him, feeling somewhat uneasy.No matter how you looked at it, Ezra was Luca's biological child. It didn’t make sense for Luca to leave his son behind to go play with someone else’s daughter.Thus, Grandpa Kensington directly called Luca, insisting that he take Ezra along when they went out to play tomorrow.“Luca, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but after all, Ezra is your child. You shouldn’t treat him so differently.

If you want to cause a scene, please go somewhere else.”The people facing her were fierce and intimidating, completely disregarding Ora's words. The leader sneered, “We would love to go elsewhere, but if we don’t come to your company, should we go to your

Seeing this, Cassandra swiftly stepped forward and smacked the woman’s hand away.The woman feigned surprise, pretending as if she had only just noticed someone else in the room.Cassandra stared at her, instantly reading the woman's intentions. As a woman herself, she knew exactly what was going on. Without missing a beat, Cassandra said coldly, “What do you think you’re doing?

    The sudden voice startled Vanessa, and as she grasped the meaning behind the words, her anger flared. “So now you finally care about her?”There was a sourness in her words that even she hadn’t noticed.“I’m not…” Luca hesitated, seeming to have his own concerns.Vanessa had been waiting for an explanation from Luca, but he stammered for a long time without saying anything substantial.To Vanessa, it appeared that he was openly defending Beatriz.First, he wanted to be with her, and now he was reluctant to let go of Beatriz—did he think he could have it both ways?With that thought, Vanessa felt a knot tightening in her chest. She glanced at Luca, who seemed completely out of sorts, and decided to leave him hanging, not uttering a word for a long time.Meanwhile, Mariah was supervising the company's promotional photo shoot.

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.Glancing at the

    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.

    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.

    Seeing that it was getting dark, Vanessa glanced at William and suggested, “It’s getting late. Why don’t you go home and get some rest? 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

    After Mariah left, she didn’t go straight home. Feeling unsettled, she wandered the empty streets alone, letting the evening breeze cool her frustration.Looking at the desolate street, Mariah felt an even deeper emptiness inside her. 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. Luckily, Mariah had learned a few self-defense moves and managed to dodge him. But the drunk man was relentless and con

    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

The assistant was puzzled, as there were no new products from the K Group to launch."Yes, to clarify some rumors about Cassandra."Understanding, the assistant set off to prepare for the press conference.However, somehow, this matter reached the ears of the board members, and they unanimously opposed Luca's suggestion."President, I think we shouldn't hold a press conference.
