After hanging up the phone, Vanessa felt a twinge of nervousness—she would finally uncover the mystery that had been bothering her.

Meanwhile, Luca pondered for a long time.

“Have Lesley meet with her,” he instructed before continuing his work.

“Understood, President,” the assistant replied and took the documents to find Lesley.

Arriving at the agreed coffee shop, Vanessa had arrived early to wait.

After about five or six minutes, the doorbell rang, and she looked up to see a stranger approaching with a briefcase.

“Hello, are you Miss Saxon?” the well-dressed man inquired.

“Please, have a seat,” Vanessa gestured for him to sit.

Although she didn’t know this man, she suspected things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

As they discussed the details of the deal, she was surprised to

    Arriving at the French restaurant at the agreed time, Vanessa walked in just as music began to play. Daxton approached her, holding a bouquet of white roses.“Hey, what’s this about?” Vanessa was taken aback and didn’t accept the flowers.“Where’s your mind at? I’m here to congratulate you on your product launch and discuss a few matters,” Daxton said, appearing relaxed.Vanessa couldn’t help but glare at him. “Put the flowers away. Let’s talk about what you wanted to discuss.”Daxton helplessly shook his head, putting the flowers aside and gesturing for her to sit. “Can we talk while we eat?”This time, Vanessa didn’t refuse again. She walked over to the lavish dinner spread and started eating without hesitation.“Actually, I wanted to talk to you about financing. I think your company has great potential, and financing could significantly aid your company’s development,” Daxton said candidly.Upon hearing this, Vanessa fell into deep

    “Are you Isla?”“Yes, I’m Isla Saxon, but you can just call me Isla—no need for the last name,” the little girl replied cheerfully.Grandpa Kensington burst into laughter, feeling happier than he had in a long time. The presence of such a joyful child brought warmth to the otherwise quiet house, filling it with a sense of warmth and affection.Vanessa was momentarily taken aback but still encouraged, “Isla, say hello.”As she said this, she glanced at Luca, subtly indicating who Isla was supposed to greet.Isla blinked her eyes, and her expressions mirrored Vanessa’s from years ago, pure and innocent.What a pity he had lost that…“Hello, Uncle Luca!” Isla sweetly called out, stepping closer and grabbing one of his fingers. She marveled, “Uncle, your hand is so big! It’s much stronger than Mommy’s…”“And how does it compare to your dad’s?” Luca, surprisingly unfazed, crouched down and asked with a gentle smile.Isla turn

    Vanessa took the box with confusion and opened it, momentarily stunned.“Are you still keeping this?”As the green light turned on, Luca started the car.“I didn’t expect you to remember it,” he said, a hint of surprise in his voice.How could she forget this necklace? It was the only gift he had given her when they got married. Back then, she deliberately chose not to take it with her to show him that she had completely given up on him…Now he was returning it to her. What did that mean? Did he think a necklace could win her forgiveness?Vanessa closed the jewelry box and handed it back to him from the back seat. “This necklace belongs to its rightful owner; it’s not mine, and I don’t need it anymore.”Hearing this, Luca slammed on the brakes, pulling the car to the side of the road. “What do you mean by that?

    Luca wouldn’t dare ask her about it.After all, even if he did, Vanessa wouldn’t tell him the truth.The next day.After finishing her IV drip, the nurse handed Luca the discharge papers. Once he settled all the hospital fees, he drove Vanessa back to the hotel.As soon as they arrived, the front desk staff stopped them, relaying, “Mr. Kensington, the lady in the presidential suite would like to see you.”Upon hearing this, Luca glanced at Vanessa, as if wanting to explain the situation to her.But Vanessa’s cold and indifferent demeanor made him feel it was best not to say anything.“Okay, thank you,” he replied and followed Vanessa into the elevator.Inside the elevator, he tried to lighten the mood. “Are you upset, Miss Saxon?”Vanessa frowned slightly and turned to look at him, finding his attempt amusing.“Mr. Kensington, after all these years, you’ve learned how to joke?”Confused by her remark, Luca

    Luca didn’t want to drag her into the scandal, knowing that once involved, she would be caught in the whirlwind of gossip, with even her personal information likely to be exposed.Thinking this over, he decided to drop the matter.“There's no need for you to trouble yourself with this,” he said.To Vanessa, it seemed he was dismissive of any association with her.However, the nature of such rumors is often ambiguous—perhaps they really did have something going on? If that were the case, her insistence on getting involved could only be seen as reckless.“Alright, if you need my help, just let me know, Mr. Kensington,” she replied. Still half-asleep, she felt she could squeeze in a bit more rest. With that, she offered a vague response and headed back to her room.Luca, however, might have misinterpreted her demeanor, thinking she was upset about the rumors, which made him involuntarily smile a little.As rumors swirle

Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, we haven’t been able to reach an agreement. This time might be just as challenging…”As he spoke, the assistant’s tense demeanor revealed his fear of saying something wrong and being met with Beatriz’s wrath.“Due to scheduling conflicts?” Beatriz scoffed, tossing a file at him, which landed perfectly in his lap.Opening the file, the assistant wasn’t surprised, but his legs started to tremble with fear.“President, we’ve really made efforts to negotiate. We’ve spoken with Cassandra’s manager multiple times, but they insist on the schedule being unworkable unless…”Beatriz perked up at the mention of an opportunity, her expression softening slightly. “Unless what?”

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.

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.

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.

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
