Chapter 2402 Later, around five in the afternoon, Edwin called to say he would be back later to cook for her.
Laura, concerned about his workload, offered to cook instead.
Edwin, happy to encourage her, said he looked forward to experiencing Mrs. Evans’ culinary skills.
Realizing the fridge was not fully stocked, Laura decided to head to the nearby grocery store.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtANGELA'sLIBRARY Not being an experienced cook, she planned to buy only simple ingredients and follow online recipes.
As she was back, her attention was drawn to a red sports car with a familiar license plate. Approaching, she recognized it as Vanessa's.
Vanessa, dressed in a white suit, appeared both elegant and exhausted.
The fallout with Edwin had affected her standing in the Smith family and her position at the company.
Now, she had to navigate a precarious situation, trying to restore her status while the family groomed a new successor for future leadership.
Vanessa needed to persuade Edwin to release his grip on the Smiths.
He was aggressively pursuing them, risking damage to both sides.
But Edwin was unreachable, ignoring her calls and refusing to meet.
Vanessa could only try to reach Laura.
She approached her, asking, “Do you have a moment to talk?” Vanessa glanced at the grocery bag in Laura's hand, seeing the pork belly and other simple items.

Laura sensed Vanessa's condescending attitude and saw no need for a conversation.
However, Vanessa blocked her way.
“Laura, you took Edwin from me.
Don't | deserve an explanation?” Laura was taken aback by Vanessa's bold accusation.
She knew Vanessa was a skilled businesswoman, but her blatant distortion of the truth was unexpected.
Calmly, Laura replied, “If you missed your chance when it was right before you, how can you blame others?” Caught off guard by Laura's response, Vanessa struggled to retaliate.
To her surprise, Laura then suggested, “There's a cafe across the street. We can talk there.”
