The Sinister Smile

Vanessa was really satisfied with the outcome as a sinister smile deepened as she saw the hurt and fear in Nora's eyes. This was exactly the reaction she had hoped for.

I'm so proud of you, Vanessa, said Helena as she wrapped her daughter in a tight embrace. You handled that situation with such grace, and you have such an outstanding boyfriend in Rick Donald. He's going to take good care of you.

Vanessa beamed at the praise a little shy, her earlier anger now replaced with a sense of triumph. We made sure no one employed her I don't know how she managed to get a job at the hotel.

Talk to your boyfriend about it and have her dismissed as soon as possible said Helena. No mom let her continue to work there am happy whenever I see her sad face cleaning after my mess she laughed.

Nora might have thought she could stand up to her, but Vanessa had shown her who was really in control.
