Chapter 1469
After receiving a hard slap, Jonathan's immediate reaction was to retaliate. He raised his hand and wanted to slap Vanessa, but before he could do so, Vanessa quickly kicked him in the leg. Jonathan flew into a rage and charged towards Vanessa. Vanessa could not dodge him, so she reached out her hands and clawed Jonathan's face, leaving a few bloody scratches on his face.
"You b*tch, you're courting death!" Jonathan once again lunged at Vanessa. Vanessa knew that she couldn't beat him if she were to face him head-on, so she immediately yelled for help. Fortunately, there were still many kind-hearted people in this world. Someone immediately came over and asked, "Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing to this lady here?"
Jonathan wanted to grab Vanessa to vent his anger, so he didn't care about the people around them.
Vanessa took the opportunity and shouted, "He's trying to snatch my bag. Please help me call the police."
Two plump, middle aged women immediately surrounded Jonathan and grabbed hold of him. They shouted, "Young lady, when you see a scum like this, you should just beat him up first before calling the police." Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Vanessa thought that it made sense, so without any hesitation, she lifted her leg and kicked Jonathan. "You b*stard! How dare you snatch my bag! Go to h*ll!"
Although her kicks were nothing compared to the harm he had done to her, Vanessa still felt much better after venting her anger.
The middle aged women, on the other hand, were pulling Jonathan's hair and scratching his face. They condemned. "Animal, you must think that we women are pushovers if we don't teach you a lesson, huh? How can you have the heart to rob such a beautiful lady. Where's your conscience?"
Vanessa added fuel to the fire by saying, "If he did have a little conscience left, he wouldn't have robbed me. I really can't thank you guys for being this brave to help me. Without you guys, not only would I get robbed, I'm afraid that the same thing would happen to countless women in the future. We really need people as brave as you guys in our society."
The middle aged women raised their hands and gave Jonathan a hard slap. "You animal. We'll let you know how powerful we women are. We'll see if you dare to steal from us again."
Seeing that Jonathan was beaten to a pulp, Vanessa genuinely thought that women could be even more ruthless than men if they wanted to.
While they were fighting, the crowd surrounding them became even bigger. Some of them even joined in to beat Jonathan up while some of them called the police.
Because of the fight, Vanessa and Jonathan were brought to the police station. The two kind- hearted women and several women followed Vanessa all the way to the police station, so that they could act as eyewitnesses for Vanessa's case.
With so many eyewitnesses, there was no way that Jonathan could clear his name. Hence, he was immediately sent to the lockup.
After coming out of the police station, Vanessa thanked all the courageous strangers. Then, she went to meet Harper Young. During the fight, Vanessa had scratched Jonathan's face, so there was some blood caught in her nails. It was the perfect DNA sample to find out if he was really Lawrie's father. "Thanks for the hard work, Miss Young."
Harper said, "Don't mention it, Vanessa. If the DNA test comes out positive, not only can you sue him for robbery, he will be charged for rape too. With so many charges pressed against him, I believe that he will get locked up for the rest of his life."
Vanessa nodded. "I hope so."
Now that Jonathan was detained by the police, Vanessa was happy and relieved. She did not have to worry that he would run away before the DNA test results were out.
It was already late in the afternoon when Vanessa settled everything and returned to the company. As soon as Vanessa arrived at the company, Joel Skylar stopped her. "Vanessa, Mr. Kyle asked for you."
Vanessa became anxious in an instant. "Why did he ask for me?"
"Why would Mr. Kyle tell me why he's asking for you, right?" Joel said. "You should go over now. Mr. Kyle has been waiting for you for quite a while already."
Vanessa nodded. "Okay."
Vanessa arrived at Julien's office, and after taking a few deep breaths, she raised her hand and knocked on the door. When she received a reply, she pushed the door open and stepped into Julien's office. "Mr. Kyle, were you looking for me?"
Julien immediately stopped what he was doing at that moment and looked up. He asked, "Where did you go this morning?"
Vanessa said carefully, "I went to settle some personal matters."
Julien frowned. "Come nearer."
Vanessa got closer to Julien and asked, "What's the matter?"
Julien scrolled through his phone and found the latest trending news. "Look at this."
Vanessa took over the phone and saw the title at the top of the page. "Middle- aged women teamed up to subdue robbers."
Not only the entire robbery was exaggeratedly narrated, it even described how heroic those middle- aged women who helped Vanessa was. On top of that, there were also photos of them subduing the robber.
Vanessa smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, there was a minor incident this morning, but it's all settled now. I won't let it affect my work. You can definitely rest assured, Mr. Kyle."
Julien raised his eyebrows again and said, "Do you think that this is what I care about?"
Vanessa: "What's your concern then? Oh, I know. You don't want me to reveal to the media where I work, so that it won't affect the company's reputation, am I right?"
Julien said, "I only care if you're injured."
Vanessa was surprised.
Julien asked, "Answer me. Or do you prefer me to take off your clothes and check it myself?"
Vanessa stepped back in a fluster. "I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me, Mr. Kyle."
Julien said, "Come here."
Vanessa said, "I'm really fine."
She really didn't need him to take off her clothes to check.
Although he had already seen her naked, they were at the company now. How could they do such a thing at a workplace?
Julien said, "If such a thing ever happens again, you should prioritise your safety first. You can just buy another bag if you lose one."
Vanessa murmured, "This Lady Dior bag is quite expensive. I'm not some rich lady. How can I just give it up like this?"
Julien was speechless.
At the end of the day, it was still all about money.
This woman loved money so much that she didn't even care about her own life.
Vanessa slowly distanced herself away from him. She said, "Mr. Kyle, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll get back to work first."
Julien did not answer her.
Vanessa said, "I'll go out first then."
As soon as Vanessa left, Julien picked up his mobile phone and made a phone call, "About the robbery that had happened this morning, I want the public's whole attention on this matter. I want the police to feel the pressure, so that the robber will get convicted as soon as possible."
The person at the other end of the phone replied, "Yes, Mr. Kyle."
Julien added, "Also, I want you to send two of your men to watch over Vanessa. I don't want to see something like this happening to her again."
If such a thing were to happen again, Julien was sure that Vanessa would still choose to hold onto her handbag. She would never think of what these vicious robbers were capable of. Luck was on
her side that she did not get hurt this time, but no one could predict if she would still be this lucky the next time.
After hanging up the phone, Julien called Joel into his office. He said, "I want you to get the nicest and trendiest bags from each brand and send all of them to Vanessa's house. Remember to keep the receipts so that she wouldn't get cheated if she plans to sell them in the future."
Joel said, "Mr. Kyle, why don't you just give her the money instead?"
Julien looked at Joel coldly without uttering another word. Joel immediately understood what Julien meant and said, "Mr. Kyle, just forget what I've just said. I'll get it done right away."
Julien thought in his heart, "What a fool! How is giving money and giving a branded handbag the same?"
