Chapter 445 Congratulations on Getting What You Wished For

"Congrats, Miss Fitzroy," Phoebe said, shaking Vanessa's hand with a genuine smile.

Phoebe had been worried about the delay in transferring Queen Entertainment to Vanessa, but now she could relax.

Vanessa sighed in relief. Since Queen Entertainment was hers, she could finally stand tall in front of Phoebe.

As Vanessa shook Phoebe's hand, she flashed a smile as sharp as Medusa's gaze. "Thanks, Ms. Ziegler. Looking forward to your guidance."

"Forget the guidance," Phoebe said, pulling her hand back, wishing she could disinfect it. "I've got nothing to do here, so excuse me, I'll head upstairs to work."

Phoebe emphasized "upstairs," enjoying the way Vanessa's face stiffened. She turned and walked out.

Theodore frowned slightly and told Vanessa, "Get familiar with things first. I have a meeting."

Before Vanessa could ask him to stay, Theodore strode out of the conference room, disappearing from sight. She clenched her fists, filled with jealousy and hatred. "Someone, push me to the director's office," she demanded coldly. Madison walked in quickly and saw Vanessa's gloomy face. "Vanessa, why aren't you happy?" she asked.

Vanessa's expression softened a bit. "No, I'm very happy."

Madison noted the disconnect but chose not to confront it, instead urging Vanessa towards the door. "Vanessa, Theodore and Phoebe are almost done. Just be patient a little longer." Vanessa's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Did you see the band-aid on the back of Theodore's head? Phoebe threw something at him. Their relationship has been terrible lately. They might get divorced soon," Madison whispered. Vanessa gripped the wheelchair's armrests, her mind racing with thoughts of Phoebe and Theodore's divorce. Her chance was coming.
