RedNovelChapter 155 Nathan's eyes lit up at Vanessa's suggestion. "Vanessa, you always think on your feet. This plan could work. If we can win over Mrs. Aberdeen, Sean will have no choice but to agree." Vanessa chuckled confidently. "But we need to carefully consider what gift to give. It has to be something that will truly touch Mrs. Aberdeen's heart." Nathan nodded, but his brow furrowed soon after. "The Foster family is the most prestigious in Northcrest City. They've seen everything money can buy. Finding a gift that Mrs. Aberdeen would appreciate won't be easy." "Besides," Vanessa added, "on the day of Aberdeen's birthday party, there are bound to be many influential families present. Every gift will be extravagant; ours needs to stand out to catch her attention." It was indeed a daunting task, but Vanessa smiled and said, "If we cater to her tastes, she won't be able to resist." Vanessa's eyes gleamed with determination as she continued, "Dad, I want to take a trip to Northcrest City." Nathan immediately caught on to her plan. "You want to go there personally to learn about Mrs. Aberdeen's preferences?" Vanessa nodded. "No matter what, our family must secure a share of the Eastborough Project. If we succeed, your position in the company will be solidified, and the board will have to respect you more." "Once that happens, we can pressure the board to convince Mom to sell her remaining shares. Then, the entire Linwood Group will be ours." Nathan nodded without hesitation. "It's a good idea for you to go to Northcrest City. Besides, it will give you a chance to lay low. I suspect Brian is starting to have doubts about you." Vanessa agreed. Brian's act of preventing Irene from naming her seemed altruistic, but she knew better. He never loved her; his heart was always with Claire, that wretched woman. He feared facing the truth because if it turned out Claire wasn't the one who hurt Irene, then all his accusations would beca cruel joke. And he and Claire would have no future together.
There was another reason Vanessa was determined to go to Northcrest City. She wanted to confirm if Heir Foster lived up to the rumors. If he was as they said, no matter how handsome, he wouldn't be her type. If not, such an exceptional man should be hers alone.
As the father and daughter were deep in discussion, Adah burst in, her face pale with a mix of anxiety and concern. "Nathan, Claire has been missing for so long. How can you just lie there in bed without a care? Don't you worry about her at all?"
Nathan, absorbed in his plans with yon His Vanessa, was irritated by Adah's sudden intrusion. His expression turned cold as he waved her off dismissively. "If that little brat wants to leave, let her. The Linwood family doesn't need her."
Adah's heart sank at Nathan's callous up words, tears wellclair her eyes and spilling over "Claire is our daughter too," she choked out. "How can you be so heartless?" "She's suffered so much since you lost her as a child. Don't you feel any guilt?"
Nathan sneered at Adah's accusation. "Heartless? Guilty? Let's not forget, you were the one who deleted the surveillance footage back. then, destroying the proof of her innocence. If anyone is heartless, it's you."
