Chapter 1432
Hmmph!
This woman would only be this happy when she received money.
Seeing Vanessa''s reply, Julien sneered. At the same time, he was enjoying it very much. He tapped
on his phone screen and transferred another ten thousand dors into Vanessa''s bank ount.
Then, he crossed his legs elegantly and waited for Vanessa''s reply.
When Vanessa saw the notification, she could not believe it. What was wrong with Julien? He was
transferring money to her for no reason. Vanessa really could not help but feel uneasy.
However, after thinking for a while, Vanessa texted him again. "My almighty Mr. Kyle, your
generosity made you even more charming. Love you!" She even added a kiss emoji at the end.
Upon reading Vanessa''s reply, the corner of Julien''s lips unconsciously curled up. He then
continued to transfer money to her. With a few taps on his phone, Julien once again transferred
another ten thousand dors.
Julien transferred the money without feeling a pinch in his heart while Vanessa received the money
happily. Since he was in a good mood, Vanessa tried even harder to please him. "My dear Mr. Kyle,
I really can''t confess all my admiration for you with mere words. So I can only summarize it all into
one sentence, that is, I love you so much!"
Within a short period of time, Vanessa had received a total 20 bank transfers, ten thousand dors
each. She was over the moon. After all, this two hundred thousand dors was almost half her
annual ie plus bonus.
Vanessa was happy to receive the money, so she paid more attention to the messages she sent out
to Julien. She really wished that she could just say all the pleasing words she knew to him. As for
Julien, this move worked really well on him. He was in a good mood the entire morning.
When Joel rushed to the president''s office to ask Julien to get ready for his uing schedule, he
even suspected that he had stepped into the wrong room. He could not help but look at Julien a few
more times. "Mr. Kyle, it''s time for you to go to the airport."
Julien''s expression turned solemn in an instant. "Ask Vanessa to pack up."
Joel said, "Okay, I''ll inform her now."
Knowing that she had to go on a business trip with Julien, Vanessa waspletely averse to it.
Before going for work that morning, she had promised Lawrie that she would read him his favourite
bedtime story and apany him to sleepter that night.
Lawrie had be very sensitive nowadays. If she were to break her promise once again,
Vanessa was afraid that it would be hard for Lawrie to trust her again. Hence, she must not leave
Lawrie behind anymore.
Would there be a way which could change Julien''s mind? Vanessa pondered.
Vanessa looked at the clock on herputer screen. It was getting closer to departure time, but her
mind was still nk. She could note out with a solution at all.
Just as Vanessa couldn''t think of a way to get herself out of the situation, she vaguely heard a
conversation among her colleagues. One of them said that her boyfriend was admitted to the
hospital because of gastritis...
Upon hearing this conversation, Vanessa suddenly realised that this could be it. She immediately
pinched her thighs hard. Even when she was in so much pain that the corner of her mouth was
already twitching, Vanessa still refused to let go. It was only when she had broken out in a cold
sweat that she finally released her fingers. She wailed in pain, "Ah..."
When Vanessa''s colleagues heard that she was groaning in pain, they immediately gathered
around her. Looking at Vanessa''s pale face, all of them became anxious in an instant. "Vanessa,
what''s wrong with you?"
"Ouch... It hurts so much..." Vanessa covered her stomach. The painful look on her face made
everyone think that speaking was an extreme sport for her now. Seeing that her colleagues were
this anxious, Vanessa was a littlecent. It seemed like her acting skills were not that bad after
all.
The hugemotion immediately drew everyone''s attention. Of course, this included Joel. He
pushed his way through the crowd and arrived at Vanessa''s side. He said, "Vanessa, you..."
"It hurts!" Vanessa said, gritting her teeth. Perhaps, because she had been caught up with her act,
or she was afraid of being exposed, that her forehead continued to sweat profusely.
"Vanessa, I''ll help you downstairs first. Could you guys please help me call an ambnce now?"
Joel said. Then, he reached out to help Vanessa, but a pair strong of arms was a step ahead of him.
Julien held Vanessa in his arms and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Vanessa was bbergasted.
Why did Juliene out of his office? Why was he holding her?
If he were to find out that she was pretending to be ill so that she wouldn''t have to go on the
business trip with him, he would probably skin her alive.
Boohoo...
She was so pitiful. This was the first time ever she had pretended to be sick but her ruse might get
exposed...
Everyone present realised that it was their cold and mighty president. Before they had time to think
about what was Julien''s rtionship with Vanessa, all of them had already retreated and returned to
their respective desks.
Julien carried Vanessa in his arms and rushed towards the elevator. After entering the elevator,
Vanessa heard him speaking to her in a long-lost gentle voice, "Vanessa, don''t be afraid. I''m here,
you''ll be fine."
In the past, whenever they had encountered danger during their adventurous trips together, Julien
would hold her hand tightly and reassure her, "I''m here, Vanessa. You''ll be fine."
That''s right. All this while, as long as he was there, she would be fine... That year, it was because
he was not by her side that such a thing had happened to her. And it was that very incident that
made her lose him.
Thinking of how gentle and loving Julien was towards her in the past and the incident that she did
not want to recall for the rest of her life, Vanessa felt that her heart was aching so much that she
was suffocating.
If she had been a little smarter that time, and if she had been a little more wary of her family, she
would not have fallen into that d*mned woman, Fiona Cobb''s trap. She would not have lost Julien
since then.
However, what happened had happened, and no one would be able to go back in time to change
the past.
Initially, there was nothing wrong with Vanessa, but because she had recalled about the past, she
began to burst into tears. Julien thought that she was crying because of the pain, so he held her
even tighter in his arms andforted her, "Don''t be afraid!"
Vanessa was dejected, but she knew clearly that she was in no position to be sad. She told herself
not to cry, especially in front of Julien. He didn''t owe her anything, and he was no longer obliged to
be good to her unconditionally.
Vanessa bit her lip and tried to control her tears. "I''m fine now. Could you please put me down first?"

Because of her words, Julien, who was holding her tightly in his arms, stiffened. And even the air
around them seemed to have frozen...
After a long time had passed, when the elevator finally arrived at the first floor, Vanessa spoke
again, breaking the silence between them. "Mr. Kyle, I''m really fine now. Could you please let me
down? We''re at thepany now. It wouldn''t be good if your employees see you carrying me like
this."
Vanessa could clearly feel that Julien''s grip was slowly getting looser. The gentleness in his eyes
had also been reced by his usual indifference. "It''s because you''re Rovio''s employee that I''m
doing this. Otherwise, your life and death has nothing to do with me at all."
Was he implying that he was being anxious merely because she was an employee working at
Rovio? That if something bad were to happen to her during her working hours, Rovio would have to
bear a huge responsibility for it?
