Nathan’s eyes narrowed, a mocking tone in his voice. “Vanessa, are you so eager to get divorced because you want to be with that escort?”

    Today, he had specifically asked Steve to look into the young man who had appeared around Vanessa several times. What he found almost made himugh out loud.

    That man turned out to be nothing more than an escort at a nightclub!

    Just an escort, and this woman actually wanted to use him to threaten him? How childish!

    Still, this time, because he had misunderstood her over Susanna, he did feel a bit guilty and genuinely wanted to make it up to her. He hadn’t expected her to be so ungrateful.

    Vanessa didn’t find it strange at all. With his resources, it would have been effortless for him to find out Evan’s identity.

    She smiled indifferently. “That’s right, he’s just an escort, but at least he’s loyal and principled. Compared to some hypocritical pretenders, he’s much better. I just like this kind of escort.”

    A chill shed in Nathan’s eyes.

    “Vanessa, youe from a respectable family. Aren’t you afraid of disgracing the Dorsey family by associating with an escort like that? I advise you not to be so stubborn. I’ve told you before, you’ll always be Mrs. Powell. As long as you behave, I’ll consider giving you a child. Then you can just stay home and take care of the child.”

    “Sorry, Mr. Powell, but I have no desire to have your child. Do you

    think giving birth isn’t painful for women? That raising a child isn’t hard? If the child is born into a home without warmth or love, what’s the point? Just to make them suffer? Absolutely unnecessary! And do you think you’re some kind of emperor? That I have topete to bear your child and win your favor?” Vanessa let out a scornfulugh.

    “Vanessa, I’m giving you a chance, but you don’t appreciate it. Fine, I hope you won’t regret this. Don’te begging me to take you back in a few days, because by then it’ll be toote.” Nathan, furious, turned and stormed off.

    Watching Nathan’s angry retreating figure, Vanessa curled her lip in disdain.

    She thought, “Regret? Regret for what? For the little bit of pity you offer me after all the pain I suffered because of Susanna’s framing? Sorry, not only do I not need it, I find it disgusting!”

    She knew that even though Susanna had been sent to the police station this time, Nathan wouldn’t just leave her there. He would definitely find a way to get her out. The only one truly punished would be Jenny.

    What a pity that Jenny, that fool, ended up as the scapegoat!

    “Well said, that’s the spirit.” At that moment, apuse and cheers came from behind her.

    Vanessa turned around to see Evander walking toward her, pping as

    he came.

    “Why are you still here? Didn’t I tell you we were done for the day?” she asked in surprise.

    “Hey, Vanny, I don’t know why, but I just want to spend more time with you. I can’t eat or sleep without seeing you. It’s so miserable.” Evander put on a pitiful face.

    “Get lost.” Vanessa snapped in a low voice. “I’m going to a friend’s house. If you keep acting shameless, I’ll fire you.”

    This damn escort was always thinking about getting into bed. Typical for someone in his line of work–he probably couldn’t go a day without

    a woman.

    She strode quickly toward the exit.

    Evander watched her back as she left, a smile ying at the corners of his lips.

    In front of a small Western–style house with red bricks and green tiles.

    Vanessa took out a key and opened the door.

    This was Kathleen’s home, and she had a key.

    Kathleen was sitting in front of her vanity, doing her makeup and humming a tune, looking very pleased with herself.

    Vanessa sat down on the sofa nearby, studying her.

    The woman’s almond–shaped eyes sparkled with youth, her cheeks were rosy, and she looked every bit the picture of a girl in the throes of first love.

    “Kathleen, are you going out for an event?”

    “Take a guess.” Kathleen shot her a smug smile.

    “A date with your boyfriend?”

    “Haha, you guessed right.” Kathleen turned around, her face beaming with joy. She gave Vanessa a yful p and couldn’t hide her smile. “Guess again, who is my boyfriend?”

    “Who?” Vanessa was very curious.

    “Haha, my dream guy, Evander!” Kathleen finally couldn’t hold back herughter.

    It took Vanessa a while to recover. “You really met Evander?”

    As far as she knew, even yton and Nathan hadn’t met Evander yet. How could Kathleen have met him? Impossible.
