Female NovelChapter 2403 Vanessa's intentions were clear and malicious.
“Won't you invite me into your house?” Laura responded frankly, “You're quite beautiful. I'd rather not bring a pretty woman home to possibly tempt my husband.” Vanessa's irritation flared again.
In the cafe, Vanessa petulantly ordered a coffee for Laura with extra an extra shot, but Laura refused it, mentioning her plans for pregnancy.
Vanessa's discomfort grew as she looked at the grocery bag and then the black coffee.

Laura's eyes sparkled with an innocence that was almost disarming.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
“Dad has already provided all those things for me,” she stated with a gentle earnestness.
Sensing that Vanessa might not grasp the full extent of her words, she added in a soft whisper, “I'm talking about Edwin's dad, who's now also my dad. He has given me a villa and a substantial amount of money. As long as I don’t squander it, I won't need to work a day in my life.” She then thought about the possibility of having children, all of whom would be well-cared for and healthy.
This display of innocence seemed to deeply affect Vanessa, whose face turned pale.
She had once believed that Mark held her in high regard, but in reality, he had never explicitly shown any favoritism towards her.
Despite having been a guest in the Evans household, the true sentiments of the family’s patriarch had remained elusive to her.
Laura, noticing Vanessa's distress, asked softly, “Miss Smith, are you alright?” In a desperate attempt to unsettle Laura, Vanessa declared, “I'm pregnant with Edwin's child!” Expecting Laura to be devastated, she repeated, “Yes, I'm pregnant!” But Laura simply shook her head.
“You're lying. If Edwin really cared for you and make you pregnant, he wouldn't have returned to me. Miss Smith, you pride yourself on your noble birth and criticize my background, but aren't you now behaving just as you accuse others of?” Vanessa's hand clenched into a fist, her plan to rattle Laura having failed.
“How long do you think you can keep Edwin, being so naive?” She picked up the piece of pork belly with a disdainful Look.
“Edwin needs someone who can match him, not someone as simple as you.”
