Chapter 1470
Coming out of Julien''s office, Vanessa''s felt as if her heart had fallen into a jar of honey. The fact
that Julien was concerned about her safety made her happier than receiving money or a house from
him. It was so even when the thing she needed the most at this point in time was money.
However, Vanessa did not know that a thunderstorm was waiting for her.
She went to the pantry and made herself a cup of ck tea to give herself a boost. However, when
she returned to the office, everyone''s attention was on her, as if they were staring at some strange-
looking monster.
"Vanessa, don''t you think that you should give us an exnation?" Queenie Allen stood up and
asked Vanessa. She was looking at Vanessa with acent look, as if she was going to destroy
Vanessa.
Vanessa hated Queenie''s condescending tone. She sneered and said, "Queenie, who do you think
you are? What''s there for me to exin to you?"
Queenie said, "Vanessa, I''m nothing to you, and you don''t need to exin anything to me, but you
imed that you''re single when you first joined Rovio. However, that''s not the truth at all. You got
pregnant before you''re married. You''re not single as you imed to be."
Vanessa was dumbfounded.
What did Queenie mean?
Did she find out about Lawrie''s existence?
But that was impossible. How did Queenie find out about it?
Just when Vanessa wasn''t sure whether Queenie had found something, Queenie immediately gave
Vanessa an affirmative answer, "Vanessa, you should check the internal mailbox now and take a
careful look at it. I''ll wait and see if you can still be this confident after reading the email."
Vanessa was worried that Lawrie would get exposed, so she immediately returned to her desk and
opened thepany''s internal mailbox. As soon as she opened the email, she saw four photos, all
of which were pictures of her and Lawrie at the hospital.
The person who sent the email obviously knew that these photos alone were not enough to prove
that Vanessa was the little boy''s mother. Therefore, there was a video attached to the email.
Vanessa downloaded the video and watched it.
In the video, Vanessa was chatting with Lawrie, and Lawrie was calling her ''Mommy'' over and over
again...
Anyone who saw this would probably believe that they were indeed mother and son.
Who was the one that took these covert shots?
Why did they send these pictures to thepany?
Out of anger, Vanessa''s hand gripping the mouse, was trembling. She was afraid, not because her
colleagues had found out that she had a son, but because she was afraid that Julien, who was
sitting in the president''s office, would find out about it. She was not ready to confess to him about
Lawrie''s existence.
Vanessa instinctively turned to look at Julien''s office.
At this time, Joel Skr, who had juste out of Julien''s office, could sense that the atmosphere
was not right. He nced at everyone and then looked at Vanessa. "What''s the matter, Vanessa?
What happened?"
Before Vanessa could answer, Queenie spoke, "Joel, someone has sent an anonymous email to the
internal mailbox. The email exposed that Vanessa has a three year-old son. There are photos and
videos to prove it, so it must betrue."
"Vanessa, is it true?" This matter was beyond the scope of what Joel could handle. No, it was not
only beyond his powers, this usation was just too serious. If what Queenie said turned out to be
true, the first person who would get fired would be him.
Lawrie was a sensible and considerate son. Vanessa was never ashamed of him. When Lawrie was
mentioned, Vanessa inadvertently put on a proud smile that only a mother would have. "It''s true that
I have a son. So what?"
The moment Vanessa admitted that she had a son, Queenie said with a smug, "See, she admitted it
herself. She isn''t single at all. She has a child before she''s even married. The biggest victim of this
matter should be Mr. Kyle. Mr. Kyle was fooled by this pretentious woman, and that''s why he got
engaged to her."
At that moment, criticizing and questioning voices began to echo through the office. Everyone was
questioning Vanessa like they were the victim.
Looking into their eyes, Vanessa could tell that they hated her not because she had a son, but
because she could win the favour of the high and almighty Mr. Kyle. More importantly, he still chose
to get engaged to her despite all the opposing voices.
In this world, there were many good looking women with good family backgrounds but none of them
could catch Julien''s attention. But how did a woman with a child manage to do that?
Joel did not expect that Vanessa would admit it. He, who had a tremendous breadth of experience,
was also panicking. At that moment, he could only stand still and looked at Vanessa, not knowing
which side he should take.
However, Vanessa''s focus was never on these people. Her attention had always been on the
president''s office.
What would Julien do if he were to find out that she had a son?
Would he look at her with a peculiar look in his eyes, like these people did?
Or would he...
Vanessa didn''t know, but she was ready for the worst. In any case, she had to protect Lawrie, even
if it meant that she would have to leave Rovio.
Just when Vanessa was at a loss, the man who she had been paying attention to probably heard
themotion, so he opened the door and walked out of his office.
Julien''s appearance made everyone fall silent in an instant. In the next second, everyone scrambled
to confess Vanessa''s crimes. In fact, giving birth to a child out of wedlock was nothing shocking, but
they made it sound like she was a wicked woman who cheated Julien''s money and feelings.
Among this group of people, Queenie, the instigator, was the loudest.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Queenie was so excited to expose Vanessa''s secret that she hadpletely forgotten who the man
who appeared was. She rushed up to Julien and made her usationcently, "Mr. Kyle,
you''ve been deceived by Vanessa. She has a three-year-old son. She doesn''t deserve you."
As soon as Queenie said that, the chaotic office once again fell silent. Everyone held their breath
and waited. They were waiting for the only man who could decide on Vanessa''s fate to give her a
ruthless sentence, so that she would never be able to rise again for the rest of her life.
Vanessa was the same. She was also waiting. She was waiting for Julien''s judgment.
However, she was not as calm as she appeared to be on the outside. She was clenching her fists
so tightly that her nails had already sunk into her palms.
However, when everyone''s attention was on Julien, all Julien could see was Vanessa. He saw her
panic, her fear, and many more emotions that he had never seen before.
He wanted to hold her in his arms and protect her so that no one could hurt her.
The moment such an idea came into his mind, Julien went on to do it. Under everyone''s gaze, he
took Vanessa into his arms and said, "Vanessa, I''m sorry that you''ve been wronged like this. I
should''ve introduced our son to the public earlier."
