Chapter 16
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then after a while, Natalie’s voice came through, sounding shocked and incredulous.
“Really… Seriously?”
Vanessie nodded, I’ll take care of it. Don’t let anything slip before it’s done.”
Natalie hesitated for a mor
a moment, repeatedly assuring herself that she would absolutely not mention this to anyone.
After calming down, I didn’t think Vanessie could bring Izaiah in to invest in the Fluxwave Group project.
After all, with such a small profit margin from Fluxwave Group, how could someone like Izaiah be interested?
After the call ended, Vanessie looked in her bag for the business card that Rayan had given her during their find it after searching around.

The aftermath of the car accident was all taken care of by the insurance company. She didn’t leave any contact information about Izaiah and his
assistant
After thinking it over, she had no choice but to send a message to Jocelyn, asking for Izaiah’s address in Leavenworth
Jocelyn’s lazy voice p
perked up when she asked about Izaiah’s whereabouts.
She and Vanessie grew up together since they were kids, so of course she knew about the engagement between the Chavez family and the Ellison family.
“Vanessie, don’t tell me you’re trying to go back to your ex again?
Her metaphor left Vanessie speechless, “Do I just have to go back to square one?”
Jocelyn hesitated for a few seconds and said, “If you want to be a playboy, it’s not impossible to turn back in The Playboy of the Western World‘. Vanessie was amused by her and said straight away, Jadynn said he’s interested in buying shares of Venberg Group, I want to talk to him about
Jocelyn paused for a few seconds, kindly reminding her.
“If you sell your shares to him, then the Venberg Group will only be swallowed up by the Ellison Group and disappear from then on.” Vanese spent so many years of her youth at Venberg Group, watching it grow to where it is today. She definitely has a deep affection for Venberg Group.
Jocelyn: “You need to think it through.”
Vanesse glanced back at the “Venberg Group” office building and muttered.
“Jocelyn, the reason why Venberg Group was important to me was because I gave it importance. Actually, it’s not Venberg Group that’s important, it’s me
Without her Venberg Group, it’s actually not that important to her.
She should go and achieve the next Venberg Group.
Jocelyn knew she had completely let go, teased her a bit, and as soon as the call ended, she went to find out Izaiah’s address in Leavenworth for her, gor the information, and quickly sent it to Vanessie
“I already asked my brother for you, Izaiah is at home.”
news went to the address Jocelyn gase her and waited at the door of Izaiah’s apartment. She rang the doorbell but no one answered for a few
mutes
When she raised her hand to ring the doorbell again, the door was opened from inside by someone.
laaiah stood in the doorway with a handsome face and deep, dark eyes that hinted at restlessness.

nessie was surprised to see that the seemingly aloof and indifferent Izaiah actually liked this game.
Ir. Ellison, I heard from Jadynn that you were interested in acquiring shares of Venberg Group. I came to see you today…”
The man gave her a cold glance, before she could finish speaking, the person on his phone came back to life, and he immediately looked down to
erate it.
Te just stood in front of her, not moving a step, neither inviting Vanessie in nor indicating that she should leave.

The man was completely focused on his phone, that look of total concentration made Vanessie couldn’t help but want to watch.

He had just arrived at the battlefield, showed his face, and got killed by the enemy
The man looked at the darkened phone screen, and his face turned dark too.
Then the teammates surrendered
There was a moment of silence in the air.
After Izaiah defiantly refused to surrender, he glanced up at Vanessie standing at the door, his voice heavy

This time the enemy just pushed their high ground tower, they didn’t hit the crystal, just stood outside the tower and taunted by pressing the

zaiah’s expression was visibly annoyed.
ext, they experienced another wipeout, and the man’s face grew even darker.
nesse awkwardly looked away, but couldn’t help but sneak a peek at his moves during the next respawn, silently judging in her mind.
Although a bit aware, but the skills were too amateur.
The enemy kept mocking them, deliberately not pushing the crystal, making people really angry.
after the character in the game was killed again, Izaiah rolled his eyes In annoyance.
lis gaze suddenly fell on Vanessie’s look of disappointment and disapproval.
fanessie said,

Izaiah handed her the phone, half believing, half doubting.
Vanessie was busy reaching out to catch it, and the character in the game just happened to respawn.
She held the phone in her hands, skillfully sliding her fingertips on the screen. The character had just walked out of the fountain when the crystal was blown up by the opponent across.
Vanessie looked at the big words “Game Over on the screen and smirked.
She was full of energy but had nowhere to use it.
The man sitting on the couch didn’t say anything, just looked at her in silence.
Vanessie looked up, locked eyes, felt embarrassed, and her face was burning.
She was silent for a few seconds, but then decided to defend herself.
“That’s not my fault.”
Izaiah nodded slightly, with a casual tone.
“Well, even if you lost the game, it’s not your fault.”
Vanessie said.
Although he didn’t blame her in his words, when they reached Vanessie’s ears, it seemed like every word was accusing and complaining about her, making her feel ashamed and humiliated.
