When Vanessa heard Casper's words, she frowned but put on a soft smile on her face and politely replied, "Pleasure is mine, Mr. Casper."Casper was delighted hearing her words as he was an old fox in disguise as a human who was eagerly waiting to leech off people’s money.In fact, the Grant Corporation and RX Corporation had been working together for many years and had pulled out a lot of successful deals. So, the Grant Corporation had intended to extend their contract, but Casper objected to it, as he had different values when a huge sum of money was at stake.But Casper and Silas were close friends and cooperated with each other. So, when Vanessa suddenly popped up into their picture, they were pissed off and wanted to make things difficult for her as they perceived she was their stumbling block.To their disappointment, Casper wasn’t getting any chance to plot against her despite the fact that Vanessa was fully drunk, and he did the only thing that seemed to be the best for him.Th
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
