Chapter 43

Hanson didn't seem worried at all. He was willing to offer Vania his full support. "No problem. You can contact me anytime with a request."

"Sure," Vania responded.

Melanie, who was ignored on the side, faced another crisis in her heart. Since the two of them had successfully collaborated, they would have more opportunities to meet in the future. Would the things that she had done be revealed? If so, it would be detrimental to her.

After talking about business, Vania first gazed at Melanie, who was seemingly absent minded, before looking at Hanson. "Do you have anything else?" she inquired.

Right then, Hanson gave Melanie a meaningful glance and then continued staring at Vania.

She is undeniably beautiful.

Upon receiving the signal, Melanie immediately retracted her thoughts. She lowered her head in Vania's direction and said, "I'm here to apologize to you." That being said, if Vania listened carefully, there was a hint of indignation in Melanie's tone.

After hearing the other woman's half-hearted apologies, Vania sneered, "Oh? Apologize? I wonder when you are referring to, Miss Melanie? Is this an apology for what you did five years ago? Or is it about the present moment?"

As she said that, Vania leaned against her executive chair and looked at Melanie condescendingly.

After Melanie heard the words 'five years ago, she quickly interrupted, "I am here to sincerely apologize. It's my fault that I sent someone to intimidate you when you went to Farville. I'm sorry, so please forgive me!"

Melanie was terrified that Vania would suddenly reveal what had happened five years before, so she kept hinting at Vania with her eyes.

Melanie's admonition, however, no longer frightened Vania. The latter merely said lightly, "Oh-I thought it was another matter. It turns out that you plotted the Farville incident. If you don't come to apologize, I won't even know." With Hanson's presence, Vania continued and provoked, "I wonder what would have happened if Hanson hadn't been protecting me. I never expected you to do something so nasty. How could you be so cold-hearted? I didn't offend you, so why would you do this to me?"

As Vania spoke, she pretentiously wiped away her non-existent tears, portraying herself as a helpless and innocent woman.

Doesn't Melanie hate me for interacting with Hanson? Then I will do just that.

At first glance, this pretentious behavior could be seen as being fake by others, but Hanson's face was filled with indulgence. He enjoyed watching Vania's acting and wanted to see this different side of her On the other hand, Melanie was taken aback by Vania's unexpected response. Vania's questioning had rendered her speechless and she had no idea how to respond.

After a while, Melanie finally came up with a reason. "At that time, I was jealous of you. I was not thinking clearly, which is why I did it," she explained.

Vania, on the other hand, was still crying innocently. "Why are you jealous of me?" she sobbed. "Was it about my beauty? Or my talent? But I'm indeed both beautiful and talented, so it's pointless to feel jealous of me. Oh-maybe there's something you did that I knew about, and you want to kill me for knowing?"

Melanie's expression suddenly changed when she heard that. "What are you talking about? I have no secrets. I only came to genuinely apologize to you and beg for your forgiveness," she reiterated. Vania casually pointed to her head with one finger as if she was considering some complicated questions. "But I can't perceive your sincerity," she sneered after a moment of silence.

At once, Melanie stood up and bowed to Vania. "I'm sorry," she apologized.

However, her tone was still filled with unwillingness.

Vania stared coldly at the other woman's actions and she remarked, "I heard that when you apologize to someone, you have to bow ninety degrees because it is considered courteous." Then, she gazed at Hanson deliberately, looking much like a spoiled child. "Am I right?" she asked coquettishly.
