As soon as Vanessa arrived at the office, she saw Ora pacing back and forth at the door, seeming anxious about something.

Feeling a bit surprised, Vanessa furrowed her brows and asked, “Is something wrong?”

The moment Ora spotted Vanessa, it was as if she had found a savior, and she quickly stepped forward.

Vanessa opened the office door, and as Ora followed her inside, she began reporting the latest updates.

However, when she reached a certain point, Ora’s expression changed. “President Saxon, I’ve contacted several suppliers, and they all said that the original materials are in short supply. It seems the previous design plan may not work.”

Daxton, you should head back. I have Mariah here to keep me company,” Vanessa said, reluctant to face Daxton. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off with him lately.Daxton glanced at Vanessa but didn’t say much.

In this way? Daxton, do you realize this is kidnapping? Let me go right now; I have a mountain of work waiting for me at the office.”As soon as he heard Vanessa wanted to leave, Daxton’s expression changed dramatically.

    Daxton watched the affectionate scene between the two, his jealousy flaring hotter by the moment.Why?! Why could Luca hurt her so deeply yet still make her love him helplessly, while his own silent devotion had gone unnoticed?Rage nearly consumed Daxton’s reason.If that was the case, then he had no need to hold back any longer.With a cold sneer, he didn’t know whether he was mocking the tragic lovers before him or ridiculing himself as a clown.Then, Daxton pulled a handgun from behind him, loading a bullet into the chamber, and aimed it at the two. “Luca, I’m giving you a choice. Only one of you can leave here today. Will it be Vanessa or yourself?”Vanessa frowned and shouted, “Daxton, are you insane?!”This time, Daxton didn’t glance at Vanessa but fixed his gaze on Luca.Luca had anticipated that things wouldn’t be simple.

    William felt somewhat helpless. He had heard of the entertainment industry's troubles but didn’t know much about how typical agencies handled such situations. However, he remembered that he had friends working at top public relations firms in the country.

As long as he still trusted her, everything would be fine. This gave Beatriz a strange sense of confidence.However, Luca felt a hand circling on his chest and immediately stiffened.Having witnessed many situations, Luca understood what Beatriz meant by this gesture.

    “What do you want with Luca?” Vanessa asked, puzzled.Harvey replied nonchalantly, “Just discussing a few matters with him. You don’t need to worry too much. I won’t do anything to him. Also, I mentioned before that I would help you sort things out here. Don’t worry; I will make sure those who harmed you pay the price.”“What do you mean by that?” Vanessa asked, confused.“Of course, I mean to help you kill Beatriz,” Harvey said with a tone that suggested he was quite pleased with himself.Vanessa’s expression changed rapidly as she looked at Harvey as if he were insane. “Why would you kill her?
