Memories gradually washed over her, those brief yet beautiful moments with Luca, which momentarily clouded her mind like a dream.
Hugging her knees, she sat on the beach, watching the waves and other couples frolicking in the sand, feeling a twinge of envy.
“If five years ago you had believed me, maybe we would be a happy family of three by now…”
Vanessa mumbled, surprised to find that she still harbored fantasies about Luca. She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts.
“Vanessa…”
The call from behind startled her, and she turned around in surprise.
Seeing that it was indeed Luca, she concealed all her warmth and put on a look of disdain, frowning as she faced him.
“Mr. Kensington, we aren’t close enough for first names yet.”
She said coolly befo

Glancing at the two cars hiding in the shadows, she awkwardly said, “Can you wait a moment? I’ll call someone to pick me up.”The guard nodded, standing beside her car.After observing for a while, he took out his walkie-talkie and called over several patrolling guards, seemingly having noticed that other vehicles were following her.Vanessa tried to call Grandpa, but his phone was turned off…Knock, knock, knock...The guard knocked on her car window.

There’s a file on the USB drive, and there’s also one in the email. I…”Vanessa shot him a warning look, signaling him not to continue.He immediately caught on and changed his phrasing, saying, “I’ve already cleared everything here; there are no backups left.”“Okay, I understand.

The news constantly reported on the arrest of the suspect from Pako Group, but she learned that Alden had been released without charges just 24 hours after her arrest.However, it seemed like this news was automatically filtered out, as no one dared to report it.Vanessa felt uneasy, so she contacted the police station using her own phone. The officer who answered was a detective named Claude.“Miss Saxon, you’re calling about Alden’s arrest, aren’t you?”Before she could say anything, the officer already understood her intentions, as if he had been waiting for her call.“It seems Officer Claude has guessed who I am,” she replied.“I looked into the call information from your number and quickly confirmed that it was you who called.”It seemed that the video footage was useful for them in capturing the murderer, but hadn’t they just released Alden?As she pondered this, Claude suggested that she cooperate with the police i

Vanessa couldn't afford to offend him and could only respond evasively, “Alright, alright, whatever you say.”Though Luca wanted to explain further, he knew in his heart that she wouldn’t believe him.In the end, he let out a heavy sigh through his nose.“Why did they want to kill President Pako?”Hearing this, Luca looked up and saw her with a conflicted and remorseful expression. He hadn’t noticed that his fists were clenched tightly.He placed her foot on the coffee table and sat down on the single sofa beside her, staring at her intently.“Don’t worry, the bad guys will ultimately be brought to justice.”Was that a line from Batman?For some reason, the moment she heard those words, she felt like laughing, thinking it sounded like something a character from an anime would say.

Are you in pain?”Despite his bravado, Luca shook his head and waved his hand, forcing a smile as he denied, “I’m fine; just feeling a bit dizzy.”She didn’t believe him and quickly called for someone to help him to the tent. After examining him, the accompanying doctor emerged with a frown.“Mr. Kensington has sustained an injury to his side, likely from a collision and subsequent fall, which has led to an infection. He needs to be taken to the hospital immediately for treatment and medication.”Vanessa was shocked and glanced at Luca, whose complexion was already looking quite bad.

Who’s your daughter?”Both Luca and Isla were slightly taken aback, shocked by her reaction.But they didn’t think much of i

She quickly turned back to her room, hugging Isla and spending a sleepless night.What does Luca mean by this? Is he finding someone to protect her and Isla?

What do you think...?”“Just have them contact my assistant directly. No need to report it,” Alden interrupted the receptionist impatiently.As anticipated, Vanessa couldn’t help but curl her lips into a cold smile.Alden didn’t possess any real ability; he was nothing more than a bumbling fool who pushed everything onto others.Seeing this, Vanessa directly said, “Tell him it’s Vanessa Saxon from Cortex looking for him.”The receptionist conveyed the message, and Alden seem

You’re looking for the wrong person today.”With that, Vanessa instructed her assistant to see them out.After sending the Radcliffe couple away, Vanessa leaned back in her chair and let out a heavy sigh, but her thoughts were a tangled mess.Luca had originally only wanted to check on Vanessa.

Luca took advantage of his recovery to stay at Vanessa's house for a few days.During this time, Vanessa entrusted all company matters to Mariah, focusing instead on caring for Luca at home.After a few days together, Luca vaguely sensed that Vanessa’s attitude towards him had softened; she was no longer as cold and distant as before, which filled him with a bit of secret delight.In reality, Vanessa had indeed changed significantly in her attitude towards Luca. She was grateful that he had saved her, yet she was still unwilling to easily forgive him for what he had done before.Conflicted, Vanessa found herself alternating between memories of Luca, injured and approaching her, and his cold demeanor when he had plotted against her child.These two extreme emotions battled within her, leaving her feeling both sweet and tortured.Luca, however, was unaware of Vanessa's inner turmoil. To him, it was already a blessing that she was n

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.

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. He grabbed her by the neck and hissed, “Want to leave? So you still want to be with Luca. Don’t dream; I won’t let you go this time. You’ll never escape.”With the oxygen in her lungs dwindling, Vanessa's face turned red as she

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. He only reminded her to rest well before leaving the hospital.As he pushed open the door to his home, the stark emptiness of the room was accentuated by the numerous photos lining the walls.Upon closer inspection, they were various pictures of Vanessa, many of which were clearly taken from hidden angles.Daxton stepped closer, gently tracing the images with his fingers, as if he were caressing Vanessa herself.

It seems the previous design plan may not work.”Vanessa frowned. “Is it the main material in the design plan?”Ora shook her head. “Not exactly, but this material is used in several places in the plan, so…”Vanessa understood what Ora meant and interrupted, &ldquo

Worried that Luca might discover something, Beatriz cautiously glanced at him, relieved to see he wasn’t paying attention to her.Picking up on the sarcasm in Vanessa's words, Beatriz felt a bit unwilling to accept it and retorted, “President Saxon, what are you saying? Ezra is indeed feeling unwell, and as parents, it’s only natural for us to be cautious. Why does it become us slandering you here?”Vanessa found this amusing. “Miss Langley, your ability to twist facts is truly impressive. However, there’s no need for your little act in front of me; I’m not falling for it.”Seeing Vanessa’s disdainful expression, Beatriz became even more irritated. She tugged at Luca and said, “Luca, say something! Everyone in the mansion knows that Ezra is unwell. It’s not like we’re trying to sland
