Vanessa was beyond startled when the car abruptly took a halt in the middle of the road at night, and she couldn't help herself but give in to the anxiety that was beginning to grow intense in the pits of her stomach with each passing second.

Just when she decided to know what the heck was going on, she heard Cooper's slightly apologetic voice, breaking her daze bit by bit, "Oh, no! It seems the engine had broken down."

With that said, he turned to Vanessa and Caroline and queried, "what should we do now, Miss Grant?"

By then, Vanessa had already understood what was happening, and she muttered coldly, "let it be. It's not a big deal."

As the words escaped her mouth, she began to feel extremely uncomfortable in the cramped car and hastily unlocked the door and get down, inhaling the fresh air and to keep her mind at ease.

Caroline who was alarmed, eyed Cooper making a call and anxiously strode to Vanessa with worry visible in her eyes, and she mumbled in her intoxicated voice, "Are you

    Vanessa was taken aback after hearing Caroline's words, but she felt it was the best choice for the time being, and quickly added, while a slight smile was plastered on her pink lips, "Yes. Anyhow, I'm on my way to the police station. Shall we go then?"Listening to her nonchalant response, the man's lips twitched, but in the end, he could only give in and answered with a smug sneer, "how can I reject it when such a beauty like you took the initiative?"With a slight pause, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it lazily, and inhaled a quick puff while his gaze narrowed. Eyeing the woman in front of her, he added, "Let alone going to a Police station, I would even walk into fire if you were beside me."Unprepared in hearing such a rare response from a stranger, the smile on Vanessa's face become stiff and she clenched her hands as she muttered, "I already dialed the police just now."He raised his brows as a sinister glint appeared in his eyes and his already appalling face

    Soon after the bikes drove far away until even their shadows couldn't be seen, Cooper came to Caroline with a pitiful look on his face, feigning innocence.Caroline eyed him and disgust flashed across her eyes and she muttered firmly, "you should be prepared to face the consequences if anything happened to Miss Grant."Hearing her words, Cooper raised his brows and stared at her with a frown when Caroline continued, "because if Moss Grant even had a slight scratch on her body, your life would be doomed with no way to escape! Mind my words."As the words escaped her mouth, he scoffed in his heart but put on a perplexed expression on his face when Caroline shook her head as she understood talking to this man was nothing but a waste of her time.With that thought, she walked aside and opened her mobile to dial the police when a message popped up on her screen from Vanessa, and Caroline heaved a sigh since Vanessa's phone wasn't confiscated by that group of men, which was considered a goo

    Hearing their disgusting words, Vanessa was at a loss since she understood that she was losing her consciousness pretty fast and the panic was kicking in her insides.Helpless, her eyes roamed across the closed room while her nails dug into her palm and gritted her teeth to remain sane, and her misty amber pools gleamed when they landed on the vase resting on the side table.She eyed the men with a smug smile and they thought she was giving them seductive hints, but in the next moment, she grabbed the vase and threw it at them using all her strength.As it had consumed her remaining energy, her body was exhausted and she fell back onto the sofa, while the men shrieked in pain as it came too unexpectedly. On top of it, they were unprepared for the attack and blood trickled down from their faces.As if the heavens had shown some mercy on her, the door was pushed open with a bang making the men panic.Without wasting another second, Fiona and Jasper sprinted towards Vanessa and eyeing he

    Caroline eyed Vanessa massaging her temples while she was still lying on the hospital bed, and her heart ached for her. With furrowed brows, she queried, "How are you feeling, Miss Grant?"Because Caroline understood how dangerous yesterday was for Vanessa, and if they were a bit late, then those men had taken advantage of Vanessa, and the outcome would be dire.Caroline got goosebumps all over her body by just imagining it and she shook her head and inhaled a chunk of air to keep herself calm.Hearing her question, Vanessa gave a soft smile and shook her head as she muttered slowly, "I'm almost recovered by now."With a pause, Vanessa thought for a second and asked with a narrowed gaze, "did you find any information about the instigator last night?"Caroline nodded and licked her lips, and her eyes fluttered as she uttered a name, "It's Miss Jones."As soon as the name escaped her lips, Vanessa frowned and muttered under her breath but it came out as a question since she couldn't bel

    Vanessa marched into the office building with her head held high, shoulders squared, and her face was cold yet calm.She pushed her office door and settled on the chair, her eyes landed on the documents that were resting on the table.In the next second, Caroline entered the cabin and greeted Vanessa politely, and mumbled, "Miss Grant, this file has the list of various real estate companies that were coming into the limelight recently."After she heard Caroline's words, Vanessa gave a nod and crossed her legs before she grabbed the file lazily, and her eyes roamed across the contents of it quickly when her lips arched upwards, visibly satisfied.When she put the file down, she stared at Caroline and queried with raised brows, "I presume you have investigated all of them thoroughly.""Yes, Miss Grant," Caroline answered respectfully when Vanessa fiddled with her hands and asked leisurely, "which one among them would you suggest then?"Caroline was taken aback when she heard the sudden

    Caroline's ears boomed with Vanessa's remark, "Would Silas Dixton's blood pressure skyrocket when he heard the good news?"She couldn't help but glance at Vanessa's confident silhouette while grasping the hidden taunt in the comment and she shook her head, while a small smile was etched on her face as she realized the power of Vanessa, and the admiration she had in her heart for Vanessa incereased!While Vanessa, on the other hand, had a deep frown on her face as she recalled the attitude of Silas Dixon and RX Corporation, and a sneer escaped her lips as she muttered under her breath with a scoff, "do they really think they can play games against me just because they thought I had connections and believed I'm only beauty with no brain?""Well, then it's high time they realized who I truly am!" She mused while a smirk played on her pretty face as she ran her finger across her hair while her eyes gleamed as a determination settled on her face, "I, Vanessa Grant, is not a weak woman who

    As soon as Fiona heard the explosive news regarding Vanessa's revenge against Mia Jones, she was so ecstatic that the only thing running in her mind all day was to see the misery of Mia Jones, and the anticipation in her heart had already reached the peak limits as if she was the one getting vengeance instead of Vanessa.When the clock struck six o'clock in the evening, Fiona couldn't keep her calm anymore and almost rushed to Vanessa's house, and the eagerness in her gaze couldn't be hidden even after her best efforts to suppress it.Eyeing her enthusiasm, Vanessa let out a soft smile and didn't say anything else while Fiona invited herself into Vanessa's house and settled herself comfortably on the sofa with her legs crossed onto her thighs.In the next minute, Fiona fiddled through her handbag and placed a tiny bottle on the table in front of Vanessa, and muttered with a sly smirk dancing on her face, "this is the medicine."With her slender fingers pointing onto the medicine bottl

    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.

    "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.

    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
