"Young master, the cutleries are here." Leonardo gestured to the body guard to set the new set of cutleries in front of Vanessa."Since you're here to apologize, have a meal with me, " he said, placing food onto her plate, all the while saying how nutritious it was and the benefits of that food as though he was a certified nutritionist.Vanessa who had long time ago forgotten about the extra spiciness added to the food, gladly picked up the cutleries placed before her. She popped the food covered in chili oil into her mouth, and the spiciness spread out in her mouth, so spicy that her eyes teared up and she wanted to spit it out. But when she saw Leonardo watching her emotionlessly, she didn't dare to do so and forced herself to swallow it.After swallowing that, she hurriedly took a glass of water and downed it to quench the heat in her mouth. "Leonardo, I can't eat spicy food. You didn't even remind me of the extra chili added into the food." He gave her the evil eye, which sent sh

Not knowing how to deal with being called disgusting without lashing out, Francis immediately changed the subject. He looked at the store behind her and asked "Vanessa, this is a men's boutique. Are you shopping for your dad?" " I don't think my shopping is related to you in any way. But be rest assured, I'm definitely not shopping for you. " Vanessa's retort made him speechless as this is his favourite brand for clothing, and she was constantly shopping for him at this brand because he loves the clothes. Everytime she was here, she would shop for him and send them to him as gifts, but right now, she said that she wasn't shopping for him. Which means she wouldn't get him anything! He was used to being treated like a treasure by Vanessa, going along with his every whims and wish, and thinking of ways to buy him the things he liked without even needing to mention it. Suddenly, her attitude changed and he doesn't even know what caused it, she turned stone cold towards him. Now she'

"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

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

"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
