The night was dazzling with all the luxury cars parked in their spots, and the venue was filled with people while the security officers were on guard since most of the rich socialites and prominent figures in New York were attending the celebration.

When Vanessa and Fiona stood near the gate with their invitation cards in their hands and were about to step in, they accidentally heard the conversation between Mia and Clara.

As the realization that her ex mother-in-law and sister-in-law were talking about her, a smirk settled on Vanessa's beautiful face while her eyebrows twitched, but she marched ahead without pausing her steps for even a second, as she was looking forward to an amusing show to unveil at the party while her eyes shone with coldness.

Vanessa was curious as to how Mia would obtain her contact information in the party.

Apparently, the Ford's were a well known family in New York City with their origins deeply rooted in the city for hundreds of generations, and they ranked

    Although Vanessa attended the celebration at Ford's, the main motive behind her appearance was to grasp the exact situation with the land deal she was going after.And what would be the better place than today's venue to have a meet with the industry experts and know the ins and outs of it?Along with it, she was also here to interact with her acquaintances and improve her professional network. Since she was sure her presence in New York was needed for the time being, and it might even last till a year or so.To top it off, the news of Vanessa being the new General manager of the Grant Corporation had spread to all of the businessmen in the city, and it was no secret!However, keeping the gossiping socialites aside, the CEOs and other high officials of various businesses were more or less worried to know how it would affect their collaboration with Grant Corporation with this sudden new change.Anyhow, most of the intellectuals among them had probably realized that she was the ex-wife

    Hearing the commotion, Hudson Ford quickly marched to them and eyed Mia with a frown. With a squint, his eyes landed on Vanessa whose aura was utterly frosty all of a sudden.As he was a good friend of Austin, he knew both Mia and Vanessa well and was suddenly off guard when he saw them facing each other with different expressions swirling on their faces.He couldn't help himself but question them with a probing gaze, "what was going on?""Hudson, I don't know how Vanessa managed to squeeze in here, but she was caught red handed when she was trying to steal my bracelet," Mia stated with a proud smirk on her face.Hearing her words, Hudson was taken aback for a split second when Mia continued, while arrogance was dancing on her face, "Hudson, order the guards to chase these two crooks out. Or else, we don't know what more they will do."With a sneer, Mia gritted her teeth, "we don't want our guests to lose their valuables, now do we? So kick them out!"Listening to her words, Vanessa f

    After Vanessa slammed the check right on Mia's face, she glanced at her miserable appearance one last time and averted her gaze to Fiona. Without any delay, she muttered, "We should take our leave!"Fiona wore a pleasing smirk on her face after she saw how Mia was taught a lesson by Vanessa and happily obliged.But after she took one step forward, she couldn't help but peep at Mia suspiciously while a frown was settled on her beautiful face, and Fiona asked perplexed, "Did she have any psychological troubles or is she dim witted?"Hearing Fiona's question, Vanessa didn't even bother to think much and uttered lazily, "how would I know?"As the words escaped her mouth, Fiona snickered while her lips curled downwards in disgust eyeing Mia, "your 500,000 meant nothing for us. Don't behave as if you were the only one with a bunch of money."With a sneer, she muttered, "such a dumb bitch!"With that, they strode forward as their moods were annoyed, but Mia had heard them all, although their

    After Vanessa had rushed out of the venue leaving Mia behind all humiliated and the crowd was flabbergasted, and the word of what happened at the party had spread like a wild fire across the city.Since the Jones family was one of the prestigious families in the city with numerous power and wealth, naturally, Mia was held in high regard wherever she went since she was the darling daughter of the Jones family and it was no secret.But the incident that happened tonight, had damaged her reputation on a whole another level, and she could probably never raise her head like usual with arrogance dripping from her every nerve.However, Vanessa's actions visibly reflected how least of importance she had in regards to Mia's five hundred thousand bracelet.Because Vanessa didn't even bother to bat an eyelid while she tossed the check, that Mia had so exaggerated!With tears rolling down like a flooded dam, Mia bolted out of the room without any care for her image.Hudson, who stood aside, eyed

    When Austin heard Ford's question, he remained silent because there was no need to let Ford know how he was going to deal with the issue.And there was no way he was going to give a blind eye to the mess they had created in the venue.With that, Austin seized the check into his hands with a cold look dancing on his eyes and turned away, leaving Hudson baffled, and he shook his head in helplessness.Outside the venue, Vanessa gazed across the parking lot and couldn't find the driver. With a sigh, she opened her mobile and dialed the driver.When the driver received a call from Vanessa, he was taken aback for a moment as he didn't expect them to leave the party so early and mumbled, "Please accept my apologies, Miss Grant. I'll come to get you straight away!"As she heard the shuffling sounds of utensils from the other end, Vanessa understood that she had disturbed him while eating and politely added, "Uncle Mason. There was no rush. You can complete your dinner first. In the meanwhile,

    Eyeing the broad back of the tall man, who was once her ex-husband and the apple of her eyes, she felt bitterness spread in her insides and the calm look on her face was replaced with a frown.Fiona, who was observing the swirling emotions in Vanessa's pale face, narrowed her eyes and a scowl was settled on her face, while a look of disbelief was plastered on her, "don't tell me you were getting affected by Austin!"Hearing her remarks, Vanessa was baffled and squinted at her, when Fiona continued, "don't you dare!"Without a pause, Fiona snapped, "didn't you see how Austin was earlier? The members of the Jones family were all scums. They didn't deserve your kindness."When Vanessa came out of her reverie and understood what Fiona was saying, she instantly felt better when Fiona added, "if you ask me, I would say you should be fortunate enough that you divorced Austin Jones!"Vanessa couldn't help but let out a soft smile play on her lips as realization dawned on her, and she indeed a

    Mia, who was already frustrated and grieving the humiliation upon seeing the comments felt as if a bucket of freezing cold water was poured on her head when she heard her mother's words.Eyeing Mia with pursed lips and knitted brows while her eyes went wide in bewilderment, Clara didn't know what to say and sighed helplessly.Mia, who felt as if the whole world had wronged her suddenly felt even more upset and questioned Clara, "Mom, how can you say that? How can you take Vanessa's side when she bullied me? Am I not your daughter?"Hearing the hoarse tone, Clara's heart softened and she struggled to say anything to comfort her daughter because she knew what Mia had done to Vanessa when she was still married to Austin, and she couldn't get herself to say Vanessa did wrong this time.With that, she took a peep at Mia and queried in a probing gaze, "How have I suddenly become the one who did wrong to you?"Mia gave a puzzled gaze when Clara continued, "did you forget the way you treated

    By the time Vanessa and Caroline had reached the restaurant, they were almost twenty minutes late as the traffic was awful and the powerful engine did no good as the roads were congested.With a sigh, Vanessa stepped out of the car with her head held high and shoulders squared. Dressed in a simple blue silhouette that hugged her curves, she exuded an aura of a strong woman.As the wind blew over, her flowy hair was slightly pushed away and she appeared even more charming when the rays of the moon fell on her beautiful face.Her every step forward was with full confidence as the clinking sound of her heel could be heard in the empty corridor.She gracefully climbed into the lift since the reservation was on the sixth floor. Since it was the peak times of the business, the place was jammed and the lift was stopping on almost every alternative floor.When it stopped on the fourth floor, Vanessa caught a glimpse of Mia, and her brows knitted in suspicion eyeing the panic stricken face of

    Two years laterAustin held her hand and let her climb the steps slowly as she was nine months pregnant. It's been a year and a half since they were married and he couldn't be any more happier.He got his love and they both built a house for themselves, wiping away all the bad memories in their lives and welcomed the joy with their open hands."Ouch." Vanessa exclaimed when Austin paused and quickly tended to her, "what's wrong, Nessa? Shall we go to the hospital?""No, Austin. Our naughty baby was moving and kicked me hard." Vanessa said and chuckled a little.Even though she was bloated and a little plump, his eyes were always on her, making her feel even more beautiful than she already is.The pregnancy glow on her face was clear, showing how happy she was with him, in their love nest, waiting to welcome the fruits of their love.He placed a kiss on her baby bump and lifted her in his arms when she squealed, "let me down, Austin.""No, I'm not letting you walk like this," Austin sa

    Vanessa settled herself onto her chair and massaged her temples a little to relieve her stress a little after the long meeting she had.But Catherine came knocking on her door, "Miss Grant. Mr. Jones is waiting for you."As soon as Catherine said that, a sigh escaped her lips and she mumbled, "alright. I'd be out soon."Catherine nodded and went away, while Vanessa didn't know whether to laugh or cry because she underestimated Austin.A few weeks passed by since he declared, "let's start a fresh, Vanessa!"And in these weeks, he was trying his best to come to her and take her out and do all the little things she always wanted him to do for her.Seeing all of that, she didn't know how to reject him, because she couldn't lie to herself and pretend that it was nothing when Austin was changing. For her!She clearly remembered all of their dates they were having almost every other day and he never failed to surprise her with how much effort and consideration he was taking to get her back.

    "Vanessa's car is broken, Austin. And you're urging me to start the car and drove away?" David's words echoed in Austin's ears. Nonetheless, he put on an emotionless facade and mumbled coldly, "What business do I have in that?"However, when he uttered those words, the car wasn't moved completely out of sight from Vanessa and Fiona, and his voice wasn't too low.Hearing his words made Vanessa purse her lips tightly, but the smile didn't leave her face even after she listened to every word clearly, and in no time the car passed away as if nothing happened, and in the next moment the smile on Vanessa's face vanished."That arrogant bastard." Fiona cursed as annoyance danced in her tone and Vanessa shook her head while her lips curled upwards ever so slightly, "let it be. I don't want people to think as if you're nuts with how you're looking right now.""Fuck you! I'm seriously angry at that asshole!" Fiona said while taking a heavy breath and added, "Why did he have to be so complacent?

    Fiona let out a curse as the last ounce of patience left in her died when the car stopped in the middle of the road, "No fucking way! Why on earth did you have to choose to leave me this late at night?"Vanessa raised her brows and scoffed at Fiona's dramatic gesture. She shook her head, undid her seatbelt, and muttered, "let's go out of the car and take a look."With that said, Vanessa stepped outside and opened the front of the car to find out what was wrong.However, even though Vanessa was lacking knowledge regarding cars, she understood the car needed some urgent repair to get it going.Fiona slowly stood beside Vanessa and mumbled in annoyance, "did it break down for real?" "Vanessa cocked her head and met Fiona's eyes, "Exactly on point. Your prediction had come true."Fiona let out a sigh and pursed her lips together in worry, "what are we going to do now?""You must be kidding me, Fiona. What are we going to do? Is that what you're asking when it's so obvious we need help to

    As soon as Fiona said that, Vanessa tilted her head and scoffed while her eyes were focused on Fiona, "I know I'm awesome, but I don't think it makes me compatible with Richard."Fiona couldn't suppress the smile that was threatening to burst from her lips and mumbled with a glint in her eyes, the tease in her tone was clearly visible, "honestly, I thought you both would make a nice match when I saw you both dancing so smoothly earlier."When Vanessa was convinced that Richard was no longer following her, she sighed with relief and moved forward to get a drink.But soon after hearing Fiona's remark, she added, "oh no, I'm not aware of the fact that your vision was significantly compromised these days."Fiona waved her hands and scoffed, "Jeez! My eyesight was alright. However, I must say that Richard is strongly proactive when it comes to you. Isn't he?"Vanessa wasn't concerned about it and carried on with socializing after talking for a bit. Fiona on the other side was bored to deat

    "Austin, Do you really want to dance?" David repeated his words as he didn't get any reply from Austin.Although Austin was calm, seeing Vanessa walk with Richard so comfortably, his face turned livid while the coldness in his aura turned so chilling.But Vanessa seemed to be not aware of Austin's heated gaze as she immersed herself in the dance.Richard kept his one hand on her tiny waist, while his other hand held her palm ever so gently, but the grip was firm, keeping her in his hold.While she held his shoulder and kept moving with the beat with ease.As the music turned to high beats, their moves turned more romantic, their steps were more in sync, and the couple looked so pleasing to the eyes.Their genes were certainly top notch was an added advantage.As time passed by, almost all the people's eyes settled on the dancing couple as the atmosphere suddenly turned steamy with Richard twirling her and they ended up coming so close.They were so close that they could feel each othe

    Hearing Vanessa's words, Fiona raised her head and stared at Vanessa's solemn expression and understood that she was damn serious.And a sigh escaped her lips as the realization sunk in."Alright then. If that was what you wants." Fiona stated cooly while she nodded her head and she firmly decided to give up mentioning Richard again.Anyhow, Richard was a well known playboy. Getting acquainted with him would only bring Vanessa trouble, and he was barely a romantic prospect, with not much gain or loss!But apparently, Richard didn't think like that it seems.Because his wooing methods improved as days passed, and he was getting bold day by day.His ways were extremely flashy, catching all the unwanted attention. His artificial flowers would perfectly sit on her table right on time, not a minute prior or ahead.He took great lengths in sending flowers which were rare species yet they were so good to the eye.As if that wasn't enough, he was literally bombarding his Feeds with posts, cre

    Hearing Silas' words, Vanessa didn't retort them and gave a faint smile as she was well aware of what she was doing and where she was heading.However, she didn't act too arrogantly and exclaimed, "I still need your guidance, Mr. Dixon. After all, I'm still not very experienced!"As soon as Vanessa said that, Silas's lips tugged upwards in a pleasing curl as he was quite content with the way she purposely humbled herself in front of him.And he immediately waved his hands while a light chuckle escaped his lips, "You're very formal, Miss Grant." With a slight pause, he added while glancing at Vanessa, "Let us learn from one another and collaborate to propel Grant Corporation to new heights."Vanessa gave a firm nod, and stated politely, "I agree with you, Mr. Dixon."Soon after Vanessa stepped out of his office, Vanessa's smile faded to oblivion and she muttered coldly under her breath, "such an old fox!"After she was done dealing with Silas, she had become super busy since it was Mon

    Vanessa eyed the document lying on her desk for a while and abruptly marched out of her cabin with the file in her hands, leaving Caroline stunned.However, Vanessa went by in a flash and a Caroline shook her head in disbelief.The sound of high heels clanking on the floor is the only thing that could be heard in the empty corridors while she walked forward to Silas Dixon's office.Her face was cold with no trace of warmth, and the determination in her amber orbs was clearly visible.With her head held high, and shoulders squared, every step she took exuded the confidence deeply ingrained in her bones.Eyeing her, Silas's assistant, who was on the side, remained dumbfounded for a while, and queried, "Miss Grant, are you going to meet Mr. Dixon?"Hearing his words, Vanessa gave a faint 'yes' and knocked on the door of Silas's office, while the assistant squinted his eyes baffled.In the next second, a quick 'come in' came from the inside, and Vanessa immediately pushed the door open an
