52. Unwanted Meeting

"Vanessa, let's get into the limo," Alex ordered firmly, glancing at his adopted daughter with a cold gaze. He still didn't like her change in attitude after knowing the fact that they had been keeping it a secret all this time. "Come on!"

Alex made a hand signal for Vanessa to get into the black limo behind him. However, Vanessa's little feet showed no signs of stepping into the car.

Of course, Vanessa, who was still afraid of her adoptive father, chose to go with her brother. Her face paled as Lisa smiled, signaling an invitation to get into the limo immediately. "I will go with William and Lea."

"Vanessa!" Lisa snapped at her daughter. "Don't bother your brother!"

Vanessa shrunk. If Lisa was the one who ordered her, she usually obeyed. However, at this time, she was unable to be with and close to her adoptive father even for minutes. It would scare her half to death. She even believed that a minute with Alex would reduce her life span by a year.
