Beatriz’s eyes blazed with anger as she stared at Vanessa, making no effort to conceal the hatred in her gaze.
“Oh? Can’t take him away?” Vanessa sneered, deliberately fanning the flames. “Then what exactly are you doing now?”
“You bitch.”
Beatriz was truly enraged. She raised her hand high, ready to slap Vanessa, but before she could strike, Vanessa caught her wrist mid-air.
There was no way she’d take that slap for nothing. Watching Beatriz fume in helpless anger, Vanessa felt a twisted sense of satisfaction rise in her chest.
But this wasn’t nearly enough. Not even close. The suffering she had endured needed to be repaid—tenfol

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.Perhaps, rather than love, what Luca felt for her was more akin to guilt.Just then, Mariah's phone call interrupted her thoughts, causing Vanessa to pause before hastily answering.“Vane

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.

“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.

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.

“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.

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,

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.

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. &
