Chapter 283

"Vanessa, just hang in there a little longer. I promise, Daddy's going to get you out of that holding cell soon."

Nathan clung to this rosy fantasy, and a confident grin spread across his face.

After all, who could ever resist the lure of money?

In Nathan's mind, the only reason that cold, ruthless Sean had thrown Vanessa behind bars was because she'd disrupted Aberdeen's birthday gala and made Sean Foster lose face in front of everyone. But Sean was a businessman-and there's no businessman in the world who doesn't love money.

As long as the price was right, Nathan refused to believe that Sean wouldn't eventually give in and release Vanessa.

Once they made it out of the country, Nathan planned to hire someone to sabotage Sean's Eastborough Project, making sure Sean lost every last penny. Nathan had never been the forgiving type-anyone who crossed him paid dearly, sooner or later.

His triumphant smile had barely flickered to life when a car sped up behind him and screeched to a halt.

The car door was flung open, and a woman-her head wrapped in bandages, looking more like a wild animal than a person-lunged out. Only one eye was visible, burning with a venomous fury that locked onto Nathan like a snake eyeing its prey.
