My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1450

When Vanessa finally learned that Julien's fiancee was herself, it was already six o'clock in the evening. She was completely 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, congratulations!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 blamed 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 Averland. Since we have such a capable son-in-law now, he won't turn his back on us if we were to return from Averland, right?"

Fiona was enraged. "Vanessa, since you've said so, don't blame 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 the last laugh!" 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 any compelling 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 the law."

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