"where are we headed?" Vanessa asked while looking outside the car window. "We? What are you still doing here?" Leonardo asked while glaring at Vanessa."Huh, Leo-" Vanessa was ruthlessly cut off by Leonardo's icy voice. "Stop the car!" The driver immediately found a spot to park and before Vanessa could recover from the abrupt stop, Leonardo opened his mouth "Get out""Why should I-" Vanessa's speech was cut short by Leonardo's glare.'What's gotten into him? I'm sure he was alright a couple minutes ago? did I say something, well no, I didn't. What could be the problem.'"Tobby, help Miss Lawson out of the car. It seems she can't get it done on her own." Leonardo's cold voice brought Vanessa back to the present and out of her trance. "I can do that on my own" Vanessa got down from the car and glared angrily at Leonardo who had an expressionless look on his face."Hmph!" She snarled and angrily slammed the door so hard it cold break.Her action caused Leonardo's eyes to widen a bit b
'she even has the guts to continue shopping! Look at her canvas, it's so dirty and ugly. How dare she even step foot into the store! How bold!The shop attendant ridiculed Vanessa in her thoughts as she trailed after Vanessa. It looked like she was afraid that Vanessa would steal the clotheHowever, Vanessa was someone who wasn't easily intimidated by such rude attendants. Despite being aware of the negative thoughts that the shop attendant harboured towards her, Vanessa maintained her calm composure. She remained unbothered and continued to pick the clothes at her own pace. 'anyway, I'm not here to bring the shop attendant home. I'm here to buy some clothes, I have to look attractive for my darling!Right at that moment, a high pitched yet familiar voice echoed from the entrance of the boutique. "Hey, have the new seasonal pieces arrived yet? Do you have the shirt that I reserved during my last visit? "Upon hearing the voice, the shop attendant hurried towards the entrance as she ig
The shop attendant beamed at Yvette "Miss Crawford, you are as kind as ever. Let me pack this dress for you." The shop attendant then turned to Vanessa."You don't have to do that. I will pay for the dress with my own money." Vanessa replied impassively. She had no wish to argue against Yvette's mockery.Because of khloe's words in the past, Yvette harboured a strong hatred towards Vanessa. 'why didn't she just die in that village. She came All this way to ruin khloe's life, she should reconsider cause I'll ruin her! She doesn't even compare with Khloe 'Upon seeing that Vanessa had no plans to entertain her, Yvette dropped her facade in the blink of an eye. "I changed my mind. I want to buy this dress." Yvette announced in a cold voice.The shop attendant was stunned. Yvette must have hated Vanessa so much that she won't even let her retain her dignity.Yet, she was unsure about Vanessa's standing in the Lawson family. Since she was the biological child does that mean she has more po
Vanessa nodded "when they said a designer was coming I didn't expect it to be you, how've you been?"Claire responded "I'm fine Ms crystal. I used to work as Ms DeLane's assistant but I am a designer now. Ms DeLane told me she couldn't get past her creative block after you left. It's been difficult for her. "The Manager's jaw dropped after listening to their conversation.The shop attendant then whispered to the manager. "Isn't Ms DeLane the founder and chief designer of L'amore?"The manager shuddered at the thought and staggered almost instantly.'Dear God, who have I offended!'Meanwhile, Yvette was at a loss for words at the turn of events.'Not only does this country bumpkin know miss Hudgens, but she is also friends with the great DeLane! The founder of L'amore! Did Miss Hudgens mistake Vanessa for some one else? 'That was just Yvette's wishful thinking. Judging by their banter, it was clear that they were close acquaintance. Both Vanessa and Claire seemed to have forgotten th
"Enough with your act! Aren't you from the country side? How did you know a designer from L'amore when you stayed in a village!"When Vanessa was about to defend her self, Claire stepped in. "So, what you're trying to say is that I don't know who I am talking to? Do you think I am blind? We don't welcome such uncouth customers in our store. Please leave."Yvette looked at her in disbelief. "How... How dare you! Do you know that I can easily destroy this company of yours with just a snap of my fingers? "Claire tilted her chin and looked down on Yvette. "Why don't you give it a try.""You! Don't regret what you've done today! There's punishment for messing with me!" Yvette exclaimed, she turned around and stormed away in frustration.'Im going to tell daddy to get L'amore out of New Haven, they dare disrespect the only mistress and heir of the Crawford family. When I'm done they won't even know what hit them. 'She dashed out of the shop and bumped into a man. The man had a cup of coff
"Khloe stop! Francis stop her please, I'm begging you!" Vanessa pleaded as she saw Khloe her so-called sister drop her five months old daughter to the ground harshly, hearing her child cry caused her to feel unbearable and helpless as she was restrained by two burly men, her struggles were fruitless. "Please have mercy Francis she is your daughter!" She begs her husband who just stands and watch the scene unfold with a look of disgust in his eyes as he says "who's daughter? She is not mine!" He smirks as he pulls Khloe into his embrace "Even you don't know who the father of your child is. " Khloe sneers " Francis only ever loved me, you were just his wife on papers that b*stard child of yours isn't his cause he never touched you! Did you think he will father a child with you just because he married you? He is the father of my son. Your daughter is merely a b*stard! " " I'm sure you didn't expect this, the man that night wasn't Francis, as for who is the biological father of you
Leonardo's body guards looked at her warily while Leonardo didn't react to the voice he heard, the gaurd pushing him didn't stop as he was not instructed to stop. Vanessa runs and blocks his path with her hands akimbo"why didn't you stop when I called out to you?"Leonardo stared at her with his ice cold eyes and Vanessa trembled but she still stood her ground stubbornly "Move!" That one word was voiced with so much coldness that Vanessa felt a chill go down her spine but still refused to back down"Master Leonardo." "Speak!"His voice was low, cold and commanding when he opened his mouth to speak.Vanessa bit the insides of her cheeks as she was nervous and didn't know how to start when faced with Leonardo's expressionless face."Master Leonardo.""Get her out of my sight!"Leonardo had already lost his patience even before hearing her out and ordered his men to take her out.Vanessa didn't want to go, she didn't want to repeat what happened in her past life as she believed her d
"I'm busy, you guys have fun!" His voice was cold and devoid of emotion as always. He didn't even wait for a response before he hung up. Beep! Jonas stares at his phone to see that the call has ended, he sighs heavily. "He still doesn't wish to see us?" He picks up a framed picture he keeps on his desk, in the picture you could see two young college boys. One had a smile so bright it could put the sun to shame while the other was the complete opposite, on his face was a frown of displeasure and he didn't seem enthusiastic for the photo. "Time does change ." He sets the picture back in place and resumes work on his laptop. ...
