Chapter 10 - The Vengeful Scheme
Outside in the cold night air, sitting in the back of a luxury black sedan parked down the street, Vanessa Price was practically hyperventilating with rage.
She slammed her manicured fist against the leather armrest, tears of humiliation running down her cheeks, ruining her mascara.
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number, holding the receiver tightly to her ear.
“Dad!” Vanessa cried into the phone, her voice frantic and sharp. “Julian Calder just canceled our corporate tower lease! He evicted Price Logistics!”
On the other end of the line, her father, Richard Price—a ruthless corporate mogul known for dirty litigation—let out a harsh gasp.
“He did WHAT?!” Richard roared over the phone. “Because of what, Vanessa? What did you do?!”
“I didn't do anything!” Vanessa lied through her teeth. “Some low-class waitress made a scene, and Julian humiliated me in front of the entire restaurant! He’s using some fake clause in the lease to crush us!”
Richard went quiet for a moment, his breath heavy over the line.
“Listen to me, Vanessa,” Richard said, his tone turning dark and predatory. “If Calder cancels that lease, our stock value drops thirty percent by Friday. We need leverage over him immediately.”

“What kind of leverage?” Vanessa asked, her eyes narrowing with malicious intent.
👉 “Find out everything you can about that waitress,” Richard commanded. “Everyone has a weakness.”
