Vanessa's Boss

"Uh...," the maid hesitated and asked, "What about Mr. Kensington now?" Hearing this, Beatriz snorted with laughter. "What a loyal little dog you are, still worrying about your master at a time like this. But you might be disappointed—Grandpa Kensington is gone, and you shouldn't expect anything from him anymore." The maid froze at these words, seemingly unable to believe that a perfectly fine person could just disappear like that. "Have you thought it over? Or should I give you more time?" Beatriz fixed her gaze on the maid without blinking. At this point, the maid realized that her and her brother's lives were completely in the hands of the woman in front of her, leaving her with no real options. "I'll help you identify Vanessa," she pleaded, "but please keep your promise to let me and my brother go afterward. He’s my only family; I can’t let anything happen t

Kill Someone

Upon hearing this, Vanessa finally sensed something was off. Because her father and Harvey's grandfather were close friends, Vanessa had received Harvey's help, which had allowed her to become who she was today. She had always regarded him as an elder, but now it seemed that Harvey's feelings towards her were different from what she had imagined. Feeling a bit unhappy, Vanessa reminded him, "Mr. Mone, don’t forget your identity and your family." After saying this, Vanessa ordered the driver to stop and got out of the car. However, she hadn’t walked far when she felt a force from behind, and then Harvey tossed her back into the car. The car door was locked quickly, and Vanessa couldn’t open it no matter how hard she tried. “Harvey Mone, have you lost your mind? Let me go! What do you want?” Vanessa was truly angry now.&nbs

Intervention

Ezra wanted to follow them, but was stopped by Fred. “Sorry, but my boss only allowed me to take Isla with me,” Fred said politely to Ezra. Upon hearing this, Ezra understood that Fred meant he couldn’t go along, so he didn’t press the matter. Reluctantly, he glanced at Isla one last time before retreating back inside. As soon as Isla left, Ezra immediately called Luca. “What happened?” Luca, who was still searching for Vanessa, sounded somewhat exhausted. “Dad, I’m sorry, I didn’t take good care of Isla. She was taken away by someone,” Ezra said helplessly, feeling guilty. “What?!” Hearing this, Luca was shocked. “What exactly happened?” Ezra then recounted everything that had transpired. Upon hearing the details, Luca finally let out

Pretending to Care

“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? Are you out of your mind? Who asked you to help me kill her? I want the truth! I want her to face legal consequences.” Hearing this, Harvey, who had been confident in his views, began to waver.&nbs

In Vain

After Vanessa was put under house arrest by Harvey, her assistant, Ora, was initially very anxious. However, she gradually sensed something was off when she realized the boss had returned to the country. A few days later, Harvey summoned Ora to his place. As expected, Vanessa was indeed with Harvey, which relieved Ora, but she couldn’t tell what had happened between the two of them, as Harvey's expression was far from good. “I asked you to take good care of Vanessa, and this is how you do it?” Harvey’s face darkened as he questioned her. Ora felt guilty and conflicted, unsure how to respond. Harvey assumed Ora still had feelings for her former boss, Daxton, and his tone grew more displeased. “I know you used to work under Daxton, and it’s fine to care for old feelings, but he’s been arrested now. I hope you can see the situation clearly;

The Call

Upon hearing this, Luca became anxious and hurriedly comforted Beatriz. “Don’t cry, I believe you.” Beatriz leaned into Luca’s chest, and he helplessly wrapped an arm around her. Seeing Luca’s action, Beatriz felt reassured that he hadn’t begun to doubt her. 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. Even if he hadn’t started dating Vanessa, Beatriz’s type was definitely not to his taste. Luca grabbed Beatriz’s wandering hand, his tone weary. “Beatriz, give me some more time. I’m not ready to start a new relationship yet.” Hearing the hurt in Luca’s voice, Beat

Get Help

Harvey glanced at Vanessa, seemingly skeptical of her words. He called Melissa and asked, “Did you just call?” “Yes, Vanessa answered the phone. She said you had gone out and to call back later,” Melissa replied. Melissa and Vanessa hadn’t coordinated anything beforehand, but the moment she saw Harvey’s name on the phone, she understood his intention. She remained calm and collected as she explained. “Is there something going on?” Harvey asked, a hint of confusion in his voice, as well as a flicker of guilt, fearing his wife might sense something unusual. Melissa was a clever woman; even though she knew Harvey’s heart wasn’t with her, she had no intention of addressing the underlying issue. Businesspeople are usually shrewd about gains and losses, and Melissa knew when to play her cards for her benefit. So she redirected

Suspicious

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. Perhaps he could ask for their help to resolve this crisis. So he suggested this to the two of them, only to be met with their refusal. Cassandra felt it was entirely unnecessary. “These rumors don’t bother me at all, and this kind of speculation won’t harm me. They’ll eventually fade away on their own after a while, so there’s no need to pay attention to what people are saying.” Leonardo nodded in agreement. “I feel the same way. I don’t care what they say. Besides, I’m not looking to climb the career ladder anymore. I just want to resolve the matter regarding Mariah and clear her name. On

DNA Result

Seeing Isla like this made Vanessa feel uneasy as well. “Alright, you can sleep for a while. If you get hungry, just call Mommy, and I’ll help you get something to eat.” Isla nodded and fell asleep wearily. A few hours later, Isla began to mumble in her sleep. Vanessa called her a few times but got no response, which made her feel something was wrong. Turning on the bedside lamp, she noticed that Isla's little face was abnormally flushed. Vanessa reached out to check Isla’s forehead, and it felt burning hot. Startled, Vanessa quickly called for the bodyguard outside. The bodyguard, seeing the situation wasn’t staged, immediately reported to his boss without hesitation. Harvey, though dissatisfied with Isla's behavior in recent days, had no issues with her as a person. Seeing her unwell made him feel bad, and he immediately called for his

Arrested

At this moment, Luca finally sensed that something was off and asked, “What’s going on?” “Hmm, there’s been progress in the Mariah case. We’ve arrested someone who has implicated Beatriz as the mastermind. We plan to apprehend her next.” Upon hearing this, Luca’s emotions surged. “Really?” “Yes, but further proceedings will take some time; for now, we just need to speak with her to understand the situation.” After hanging up the phone, Luca couldn’t calm down for a long time. He never expected that after so much time, there would finally be a breakthrough in the case. Meanwhile, the police acted swiftly after receiving the confirmed information, immediately heading to Ness Corp. The employees were stunned, unsure of what had happened to prompt the police’s visit. The front desk couldn’t stop them, and Beatriz’s assistant stepped forward to inquire about the s
