On the call, Marvin Love, who was rightfully the head of the family, answered obediently, "If Vaness wasn't filial, she wouldn't have tried so hard to help the family in the past year. Just give her a bit more time."
Every time Fiona complained about Vanessa, Marvin's attitude was like this. He was always trying to avoid conflict. Upon hearing this, Vanessa was furious. "If you want me to be filial, then please ask yourselves if any of you deserve it?"
Marvin pleaded, calling Vanessa by her nickname, "Vaness..."
"Don't call me that." Vanessa didn't want to listen to their irritating voices anymore, so she decisively hung up the phone. To tell the truth, if they weren't related by blood, she would have stopped caring about them for a long time.
But apparently, this family didn't seem to realise that they had stepped out of the line. They were always trying to get money out of her, treating her like a cash cow.
She didn't want them to suck her dry, so after hesitating for a while, she went on to block all their phone numbers. Since they had never treated her as their family, why should she be nice to them?
After that, Vanessa remembered that Julien was still at her place. She quickly went to the dining table and saw that the omelet was still untouched. It meant that Julien did not eat it.
If he didn't want to eat, then so be it. He could just starve to death. Vanessa really wanted to ignore him, but if he really did starve to death, it would be a great loss to her. Hence, she had no choice but to go over to him and ask if wanted to eat.
Vanessa gently pushed open the door to the study. In the study, Julien was holding a book in his hand, completely absorbed in it. After waiting for a while, Vanessa asked, "Hey, the food is getting cold. You should eat first. If you get hungry, you will be the one suffering."
Julien continued reading without lifting his head.
Vanessa continued, "Did you come here after dinner?"
Julien still did not say a word.
Vanessa added, "By the way, you usually wouldn't come to my place during the weekends. I thought that you wouldn't come over today too so I ate first. You wouldn't blame me, right?"
Julien said, "Get out!"
Vanessa asked, "Are you really angry?"
Julien said, "Get out!"
Vanessa was speechless.
She would just go out if he wanted her to. Was there a need to put on such a cold face?
To tell the truth, she didn't want to see his cold face at all. Not at all.
Vanessa went back to her room, took a bath, and went to bed. Because of the high volume of exercises that evening, Vanessa fell asleep soon after lying in bed.
She didn't know how long she had slept when the other side of the big bed sank in slightly. Soon, a burning male body leaned over. Vanessa was in a daze as she said, "I'm tired. I don't want it."
"You don't want it?" The man's deep voice sounded in her ears. Before Vanessa could react, Julien was about to leave. When she finally came to her senses, she quickly reached out her hand and grabbed him. "I want it! I want it!"
Her compromise did not make Julien happy. Instead, it angered him. Julien grabbed her chin and forced her to look up at him. "Vanessa, do you like to demean yourself that much?"
"Demean?" Vanessa laughed. "As our new President, don't you know how many women want to get on your bed but can't even get close. I'm so lucky to be able to sleep with you, so how could you say that I'm demeaning myself?"
"Since that's what you think, then you should do your duty well." Julien quickly ripped off her pajamas and pushed his body into her, making them become one.
