Chapter 2910
Luna furrowed her brow when she noticed the surprise on John’s face. “Do you know each other?”
“We do.” Vanessa curled her lips into a smile. “His wife used to be a plastic surgeon at the hospital, and I met him
there and even talked to him a little bit. Then, when he was starting his own business, I even lent him some money.”
All of a sudden, Vanessa lifted her head to stare at John as though she suddenly recalled something. “So are you
Mrs. Lynch’s friend’s husband?”
“Um…” He glanced uneasily at Luna as she said this.
“Yes, the one who was kidnapped is Dr. Zimmer.” Luna furrowed her brow momentarily, then smiled when she
realized what Vanessa was thinking. “I almost forgot –Anne told me that she had met you in the hospital before.”
Vanessa finally let out a sigh of relief at this. “It turns out Dr. Zimmer was the one who had been kidnapped.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe almost thought that John and Anne’s marriage had failed and that his wife who had been kidnapped was
someone else instead.
“I didn’t know you had undergone plastic surgery before, Ms. Chance,” all of a sudden, a cold voice rang out next to
them.
Vanessa frowned and glanced in the direction of the voice.
Jude was standing behind them with his arms crossed, glaring at her. “But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Ms.
Chance has grown up a spoiled child, so of course you’d get anything you want, to a point where you’re willing to
pay to get the face you want.’
Then, he strode to Vanessa’s side and eyed her fair, rosy face in a disgusted manner. “I had been wondering why a
beautiful woman like you would turn out to be so evil, but now, I finally realize the truth-even your beauty is fake.”
The color drained from Vanessa’s face when she heard this. She clenched her fists and muttered, “Do you seriously
have to insult me like this, Jude?”
She had already explained to him countless times that what happened that night was just a misunderstanding, yet
he was adamant that she was the mastermind behind this scheme.
He was certain that she was the one who had sent the woman he loved abroad and had spiked his drink while he
was not looking.
A twinge of pain shot through Vanessa’s heart as she gazed at the face of the man she had loved for six years. No
one, not even her family, had ever caused her as much anguish as this
man did.
“Me? Insult you?” Jude scoffed and sneered. “You’ve done every bad thing under the sun, yet you can’t take a few
insults?”
With that, he turned to glance at Luna. “Well, Joshua’s task for me was to send you here, and now that my work
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhere is done, I’ll be off now.”
Then, he turned and walked away.
Vanessa bit her lip as she watched him leave.
“Are you okay?” Luna pursed her lip, glancing first at Jude’s car, which was pulling away, then at Vanessa. “Please
don’t take his words to heart. I’m sure this is all just a misunderstanding…” “That’s okay.” Vanessa smiled. “I guess
he still doesn’t know me well enough. I’m sure he’ll grow to like me eventually as time passes, and so what if he
doesn’t? I’m content with just being by his side.”
Vanessa shook her head as though she were shaking all the negative feelings away. “Now’s not the time to discuss
this. Aren’t we going to save Dr. Zimmer? You should go in. I need to give Willow a call first.”
With that, she let out an exhale and strode into the police station.
Luna glanced first at Vanessa’s retreating figure, then in the direction Jude had left in, and sighed.
Vanessa…reminded her of the devoted, loyal woman she had been many, many years ago.
