RankNovelChapter 186 To put an end to any romantic ideas the women of Northcrest City might have had about Sean, she fabricated an unflattering rumor, painting Sean as an impotent deviant.
It worked like a charm. The women in Northcrest City began to look at Sean with a peculiar and cautious gaze.
As the heir to the Foster family, Sean had the power and resources to quash the rumor with ease.
But he didn't.
In fact, he let it spread even further.
Because once the gossip took hold, those troubleswomen stopped bothering him altogether.
While Sean welcomed this outcome, he couldn't tolerate being wronged.
At just twenty-two, he ruthlessly orchestrated the downfall of his childhood friend's family, ignoring the long- standing partnership between their families, and sent her off to a place as remote as Cresthaven.
The once-privileged heiress of Northcrest City fell into a life of hardship, reportedly losing over sixty pounds within a year and spiraling into depression.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSix years have passed, and no one cares to know what has becof her.
It's likely her life hasn't improved much.
This was merely the consequence of spreading rumors about Sean.
Truly, the man known as "The Iron Magnate" lived up to his formidable reputation.
His unyielding methods left him unapproachable, and no one dared to get close again.
Vanessa reclined in the plush seat, a confident smile playing on her lips.
Instead of being deterred by Sean's ruthless nature, she found herself even more intrigued.
To her, that childhood friend was foolish.
She didn't understand what kind of woman a man truly desires, yet she dared to chase after him. Being sent to Cresthaven to eat bland meals was a fate she brought upon herself.
Men want respect and admiration. They prefer women who are dependent on them, not someone spreading rumors about their masculinity.
A commanding man like Sean should be won over by a gentle woman like herself.
No man she desired had ever eluded her grasp.
Vincent, Brian-Sean would be no exception.
Vanessa glanced at the elegant woman beside her.
This was Sean's mother.
To win over Sean, she didn't have to focus on him directly.
She could employ a more circuitous strategy, first winning over his mother's favor.
Winning the future mother-in-law's affection was a crucial step in getting closer to Sean.
Vanessa beamed with an innocent, immaculate smile. "Miss, we were having such a good tin Northcrest City. What brings you to Cresthaven?" Yes, she addressed her as "Miss," not "Mrs." From the start, she decided to becbest friends with Sean's mother.
No woman can resist being complimented on her youth and beauty.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Vanessa first laid eyes on Mrs. Foster, she exclaimed with awe, "Miss, how do you maintain your skin? It's so fair and youthful, like a baby's! And your figure is amazing. You must share your secrets with me!" A woman nearing fifty being called "Miss" by a girl in her twenties, who persistently complimented her beauty, made Mrs. Foster feel elated.
Of course, as a wealthy society lady, she was no stranger to flattery.
But Vanessa was from Cresthaven, and her accent indicated she wasn't from Northcrest City making Mrs. Foster believe that Vanessa genuinely didn't know her and wasn't simply offering empty praise. Moreover, Vanessa had a knack for appearing pure and innocent.
With those clear eyes fixed on her, Mrs. Foster was convinced Vanessa's compliments were sincere.
This instantly brought them closer.
Vanessa's clever tactic was to feign ignorance about the Foster family.
Even though today was Aberdeen's birthday celebration, she pretended to be unaware and just thought her new friend was taking her to Cresthaven for a visit.
With an excited expression, she said, "Now that we're in Cresthaven, you must cto my house. My mom would be thrilled to seewith such a beautiful friend like you."
The elegant woman replied, "It's my mother-in-law's eightieth birthday today, and I'm heading to Cresthaven to celebrate with her. After the party, I'd love to visit your home." Vanessa feigned surprise, "No way, you're married? I was just about to introduce you to my brother!"
