Chapter 1450


    When Vanessa finally learned that Julien''s fiancee was herself, it was already six o''clock in the


    evening. She waspletely stunned upon receiving the news.


    Was Julien crazy?!


    She had already rejected his marriage proposal. How could he announce to the public that she was


    his fiancee?


    After the initial wave of shock, fear welled up in Vanessa''s heart.


    If the public were to find out that the fiancee of Rovio''s new president had a son with an unknown


    father, it would definitely cause a great impact on Rovio''s affairs.


    In the past, Vanessa had always been worried that she would negatively affect Julien in any way.


    She hoped that he could take good care of Rovio and live a happy long life. She also hoped that he


    could find a suitable woman to grow old together with.

    Vanessa took out her phone with trembling hands and wanted to call Julien. However, as soon as


    she did, a strange phone number called. "Vaness, congrattions!1''


    It turned out to be Fiona, calling Vanessa with a new number. Fiona sounded so eager and envious


    that Vanessa got goosebumps out of disgust.


    Needless to say, Fiona must have seen the news and thought that she could milk something from


    Vanessa again. That was why she was pretending to be a loving mother to curry favour with


    Vanessa again.


    Vanessa did not want to have anything to do with that family. She said, "Fiona, how many times do I


    have to say this? Don''t call me again. I don''t want to hear your disgusting voice."


    Fiona said, "Vaness, I know I didn''t treat you well in the past, but I bear no ill will against you. As


    your stepmother, I''m under more pressure than your biological mother. I''m afraid that something


    bad will happen to you and I''ll be med for it. Everything I do is for your own good."


    Vanessa sneered, "For my good? You''ve drugged me and sent a strange man to my bed, and I


    even got pregnant because of that. How do you still have the audacity to say that what you''ve done


    is for my own good? I''ve seen shameless people, but I''ve never seen someone as shameless as


    you."


    If this was in the past, Fiona would have retaliated when Vanessa was scolding her like this. She


    would condemn Vanessa, saying that she was an unfilial and shameless daughter. However, Fiona


    did not do that this time. She smiled and said, "Vaness, let bygones be bygones. Let''s not talk about


    it anymore, okay?"


    Vanessa said, "Then tell me, what on earth do you want?"


    Fiona said, "Vaness, you''ve suffered for so many years, and you''ve finally found yourself such a


    great husband. Your dad and I are truly happy for you. You don''t have to worry about our family.


    We''re doing well in Avend. Since we have such a capable son-inw now, he won''t turn his back


    on us if we were to return from Avend, right?"


    Vanessa knew that Fiona called because she had seen the news. It was really ridiculous. "Fiona, let


    me tell you the truth. It''s impossible for me to marry Julien. Don''t try to get any benefits from him."


    Fiona added, "Vaness, how can you be so stubborn? You''re a woman who had a child and you don''t


    even know who the father is. Moreover, that child is still sick and you can''t even tell how much


    longer he can live."


    Vanessa yelled, "Shut up!"


    Fiona knew where Vanessa''s soft spot was. Not only did she not avoid it, she was hitting it hard.


    "Vaness, I don''t want to talk about the child at first, but I need to make you face the reality. You don''t


    even know who the father is. What''s more, he''s severely ill, he''ll only be a burden to you. He won''t


    be of any help to your life. So if you can find a way to send him away, you should just do that. Don''t


    let him ruin your life."


    Listening to Fiona, who was also a mother, Vanessa felt immensely sorry for Fiona''s son. "Fiona,


    you are also a mother yourself. Aren''t you afraid that your son will abandon you when he grows up?


    Aren''t you afraid that all your karma will hit back at your son in the future?"


    Fiona said angrily, "Vanessa, how dare you curse my son!"


    Vanessa said coldly, "Your son is a treasure to you, and so is my son. If you dare to say anything


    bad about him, I will make you pay!"


    Fiona said, "I''m kindly calling to congratte you. There''s finally a man who wants you. s, look at


    how you''re talking to me. Listen, no matter who you hook up with, you can''t change the fact that


    we''re your family!"


    "Huh, my family?" Vanessa scoffed. "Fiona, you''re giving yourself too much credit, don''t you think?


    I''d rather acknowledge a dog as my family. Also, don''t forget that you were the one who was


    instigating my father to cut ties with me when I was pregnant with Lawrie. I have nothing to do with


    you all anymore so don''t even try to get anything out of me ever again."


    Fiona was enraged. "Vanessa, since you''ve said so, don''t me me for anything that happens. If


    you don''t let us live well, you can forget about living a good life as well."


    "Fiona, bring it on! Let''s see who gets thestugh!" Vanessa hung up the phone and then dialed


    Harper''s number. "Miss Young, I want to talk to you about my stepmother."


    Harper said, "Go ahead."


    Vanessa continued, "I just want to confirm with you that if I can find Lawrie''s father, and as long as


    he admits that Fiona was the one behind it, then I will be able to send her to prison, right?"


    Harper said, "That''s right. As long as there is sufficient evidence, that is not a problem at all. But the


    problem is how heavy the sentence can be."


    Vanessa added, "I''ve recorded all her phone calls to me over the years. If I find anypelling


    evidence, I will make sure to hand it to you right away. Then, I''ll have to trouble you to get things


    done for me, Miss Young." Harper said, "Don''t mention it, Vanessa. I''ve met countless cases like


    yours over the years, but most of the victims chose to remain silent. You''re my only client who has


    been actively cooperating with my work. I should be the one thanking you instead. Now that you''re


    willing to stand out and bring your perpetrator to justice, you''re definitely setting a good example for


    all the women who have experienced the same thing as you out there. You''re giving them another


    choice to deal with this matter. They will no longer think that they can only keep quiet about it."


    Vanessa sighed and said, "No. Miss Young. I''m not that great like you''ve said. The reason I''ve


    decided to give birth to Lawrie and haven''t given up looking for his father all these years was not


    trying to set an example to all the women out there. I just want the people who have hurt me to be


    punished by thew."


    As Vanessa had not yet found Lawrie''s biological father, she did not have strong evidence to use


    Fiona, allowing Fiona to live freely for so many years. As long as Vanessa got her hands on the


    necessary evidence, she would immediately send Fiona to prison.
