    But Vanessa still generously transferred the money to him. After all, he had helped herst night.

    “And what aboutst night’s dinner?”

    “One thousand.”

    … They had drunk quite a lotst night, so that amount seemed about right.

    She immediately transferred the money to him again.

    “Alright, we’re even now. I have to go.” Vanessa put away her phone, stood up, and prepared to leave.

    Evander looked at his phone and smiled ambiguously. “Since you were so generous with the transfer, I can offer you a free service once.”

    “No, no.” Vanessa instantly understood what he meant, blushed, and turned to leave.

    She definitely didn’t want his services!

    Thest time, it was only because that damned Kathleen had drugged her that she lost control. Now, before she officially divorced Nathan, she would never get involved with any other man.

    After all, she wasn’t the kind of woman who would easily give herself away. Even if her husband hadn’t touched her for five years, that was his problem-she would stick to her own principles.

    Evander crossed his arms and watched her back with a leisurely air.

    Only after she entered the elevator did he turn and return to the suite.

    When Vanessa stepped out of the elevator, she looked at the splendid, glittering lobby and felt a bit emotional.

    In fact, as Nathan’s wife, she had never stayed in a hotel before, nor had Nathan ever taken her out for social events or entertainment.

    She really wasn’t used to this kind of life.

    Across the wide, clean street stood a towering, imposing skyscraper exuding a sense of luxury. The four gilded characters ‘E.C. Group’ gleamed under the blue sky and white clouds, appearing bothvish and mysterious,

    It was said that this skyscraper was a branch office opened here by a wealthy businessman from Haverfield. As for who the tycoon was or what business he was in, Vanessa had never really cared.

    However-

    Seeing this magnificent building now, she was still a little awestruck.

    Although the Powell Group was the richest in Brookford and owned many such skyscrapers,pared to the mysterious luxury of this building, theirs seemed to be a notch below.

    It just goes to show-there’s always someone better out there!

    Inside the car.

    Vanessa’s delicate brows were tightly furrowed. What had happenedst night was like a thorn deeply embedded in her heart.

    The police had already started their investigation.

    She firmly believed that since she hadn’t done anything wrong, the

    police would surely give her a fair and just exnation.

    But whenever she thought of the overwhelming online abuse and the nder from the news media, her face turned pale.

    At that moment, Helen’s call came through.

    “Dr. Dorsey, thank you. I’ve alreadye to work. The director said this time it won’t be counted as my responsibility. I’m really sorry for letting you take all the me alone.” On the other end, she was full of gratitude, thinking Vanessa had taken everything upon herself.

    Vanessa thought of how she had gone to see the directorst night. It seemed the director had given her some face, so she smiled. “Helen, just focus on your work. Good luck!”

    “Mm, thank you.” Helenughed happily, then suddenly lowered her voice and said, “You don’t need to worry too much either. Now that the police are investigating, since we didn’t do anything wrong, we have nothing to fear. Justice will be served. Also, the news media aren’t reporting on this anymore, which means things might be turning around.”

    Vanessa was taken aback. The news media weren’t reporting on this anymore?

    “Alright, thank you.” After chatting for a bit, she hung up and immediately opened the news page on her phone.

    Sure enough-

    The news page waspletely clean, and there was no trace of the online abuse anymore/

    She could hardly believe her eyes!

    After searching for quite a while, she was certain that all the news

    about her medical incident had vanished without a trace, as if it had never happened.

    She was stunned for a moment, but deep down she was overjoyed. At least things were now under control and hadn’t developed in the worst possible direction.

    A whileter, she returned to the Powell’s vi and went upstairs to take a shower. She had been so drunkst night that her body still reeked of alcohol. When she finished showering and came out-

    She unexpectedly heard voicesing from downstairs.

    She was taken aback.

    Other than her, who else would be talking in this house?

    Vanessa hurriedly walked downstairs.

    Halfway down, she saw yton and Casey sitting on the sofa, talking.

    So it was them who hade!

    It seemed her ident had rmed them, which was why they rushed over. This house was a ce they only visited asionally.
