‘Now, this is definitely an awkward moment’. Vanessa thought to herself, and was already feeling sweaty. She thought to herself again, ‘What exactly made me tell Derek and Eric that I have proof? No, wrong. Why did I even offer to help Gabriella out in the first place? I should have clearly understood that my hacking abilities would be at great risk of being discovered!’. ‘I must have been a fool. Why couldn't I understand in time that Nessa was hiding something important from Eric and I? After all, it's totally impossible for her to discover any proof in one night. Even as a pro hacker, I can't solve such a tricky task in one night’. Derek nodded in agreement as he thought to himself. It didn't reach a minute, and Derek's eyes widened in shock because he remembered something. He thought, ‘Wait a sec. After Eric and I had successfully hacked Xavier’s information the other day, didn't Eric tell me about Gabriella? Didn't he also tell me back then that Gabriella was once Xavier's fia
Derek became scared because Vanessa's face was undeniably scary to look at. He quickly rose from Vanessa's bed and hurried toward the exit door. His hand held the door knob, but he didn't open the door yet. “Come on, Nessa. No need for you to chase us out. It's not as if we forced you to tell us the identity of the genius right now”. Eric tried to reason with her. Vanessa's eyes flashed with anger for a brief moment. She breathed deeply, with the aim of calming herself. “I'll count to one. If I finish counting, and you're both still here ….”. Vanessa purposely didn't finish talking. Instead, she started the countdown, “Three”. “Bu- but, is all this drama really necessary, Nessa? Can't you easily reveal the identity of the genius right now to Derek and me? It's not as if something bad is going to happen to you after you tell us”. “Two”. Eric gasped, because he now understood that Vanessa was serious. He rushed to the exit door. “Why haven't you opened the door, Derek?”. “On
“So, does that mean the genius you were both discussing earlier, was the same genius who helped figure out the culprits behind all my troublesome problems?”. Gabriella asked Eric and Derek, as she was greatly amazed. What she couldn't discover in a whole 10 years, someone else discovered it for her within a single night! “Yes. It's the same genius, Gabriella”. Eric nodded at her as he admitted this. Gabriella smiled so brightly because she couldn't control her fired-up excitement. She was genuinely happy. She had a lot to say to Vanessa, but feeling that it would be too much, she said calmly, “I’m speechless, CEO of Diamond V company. I don't know what to say. At first, I thought you were bluffing. But now, I can clearly see you’re serious”. “Of course I was serious, Gabriella. I'm the kind of person who rarely jokes around”. Vanessa smirked and announced. She didn't give anyone a chance to speak, and added, “Come on, Gabriella. I want you to see all the proof with your own eye
“Gabriella, the address of the cyber-cafe your best friends frequented is not that far from Xavier’s mansion”. Vanessa announced. Her eyes widened after she noticed her mistake. She quickly added, “I mean, the address of the cyber-cafe your best friends frequented is not that far from my husband’s mansion”. Eric and Derek forced themselves not to laugh at Vanessa. They found Vanessa funny because of her mistake and shocked reaction. ‘This is so sad. Poor Gabriella. All these years, I had misunderstood and blamed her. She didn't cheat on Master Xavier. Neither did she betray his love for her. Her best friends were the main genesis of everything’. Mrs Charlotte shook her head in pity as she thought. Gabriella was lost in her thoughts that she couldn't even realise the mistake Vanessa had made. “Didn't you hear what I said to you, Gabriella?”. Vanessa asked her, but there was no reply. Turning to Xavier, Vanessa noticed that he was staring at Gabriella with a poker expression on
After Mrs Charlotte left the living room, Vanessa and her twin brothers ate breakfast. They couldn't wait for Xavier because they couldn't find him anywhere in the mansion. When they saw that one of his cars was missing, they realised that he had left the mansion. It took them a few minutes to finish eating breakfast because Vanessa had hurried them to eat faster. She wanted all of them to report to her Diamond V company at once, because she had an important investor coming over today. “Seriously, who's the important investor you're refusing to tell us about, Vanessa?”. Derek raised an eyebrow as he asked her. “Yeah. And why didn't he show up and help you when your company was facing a crisis?”. Eric asked Vanessa too, and was impatiently waiting to hear what her reply would be. “Both of you are getting more annoying lately. Seriously. Now, shut up and quietly follow me outside”. Vanessa ordered them. After they went outside, they entered Vanessa's car, and she drove off and was
Gabriella thought about going to the airport to await Jasper's return. But after thinking much about it, she understood that it wasn't such a good idea. Because, what if she missed Jasper and couldn't find him at the airport? As she was walking around with her luggage, she came across a payphone on the way. Seeing this, an instant sigh of relief escaped from her mouth. Without any delay, she walked towards the payphone. She pressed Jasper's number and called it. After many attempts at calling Jasper, he finally answered the phone call. “Who is it?”. Gabriella flinched, and her eyes also widened, because Jasper's voice sounded cold and distant. She never knew that her own brother's voice could intimidate her to this extent. She was puzzled, but had to compose herself. She knew Jasper was being cold to her because he had no idea that it was her calling him. “Brother, it's me, Gabriella”. Jasper had come out of the airport. He initially wanted to hang up the phone call, but halte
Diamond V company, Vanessa and her twin brothers had arrived at the company and entered the building in front of them. After that, Eric and Derek followed Vanessa straight to her office. They were curious to see the important investor who their sister wanted to meet. As they arrived at the elevator, Vanessa, Eric and Derek entered it, even though there were some others who were already inside. After Vanessa pressed the button for her office floor, she stood straight with her hands folded on her chest. She didn't mind nor pay any attention to the way her employees were endlessly staring at her as if she were made of gold. The employees didn't want Vanessa and the twins to hear what they were about to discuss, so they stayed close to themselves as they began to whisper to each other. “Why didn't I notice this before? Our chairman is charismatic”. “Exactly. Her aura is breathtaking”. Another person agreed with what the first person said. “Our chairman has led the Di
‘But, why was their big sister annoyed?’. Eric and Derek wondered. Blake walked towards Vanessa because of the feisty look on her face. He asked her, “Are you alright, chairman Vanessa?”. Realisation hit Vanessa upon hearing Blake's question. A while ago, when she got a headache and became annoyed, she completely forgot about his presence. Staring at Blake with a slightly embarrassed and complicated look on her face, Vanessa replied to him, “I'm okay now, Blake. Don't mind me at all”. Because Vanessa had already replied to Blake, she turned to Eric and Derek, and said to them, “Blake is not the genius. And from now on, both of you aren't allowed to mention the genius in front of me again. Do you understand?”. “Alright, Nessa”. Eric and Derek both agreed, because they didn't want to argue with Vanessa and make her become more angry.Vanessa invited Blake to sit in front of her, at her desk, while Eric and Derek went to their desks to review files and some other important informati
