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

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 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

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

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
