Chapter 12 - Vanessa Plots Her Revenge With Daniel's Bitter Rival
Across town in a penthouse suite overlooking downtown Charlotte, Vanessa Cole slammed her wine glass against the bar.
Shattered crystal and red wine stained the imported Italian tiles while Marcus Vance watched from the leather sofa.
“He threw me out like common trash because of a cleaning maid and a security camera!” Vanessa screamed furiously.
Marcus Vance took a slow sip of his whiskey, his cold, calculating eyes showing no sympathy for her emotional breakdown.
“Relax, Vanessa; tantrums don't win multi-million-dollar corporate real estate wars,” Marcus said smoothly.
“Did you manage to upload the municipal zoning blueprints from his private study before he caught you?”
Vanessa stopped pacing, reaching into her designer handbag and pulling out a small encrypted flash drive.
She tossed it across the glass coffee table toward Marcus like a weapon waiting to be deployed.
“It’s all on there—every engineering estimate, every subcontractor bid, and every safety margin,” Vanessa spat out bitterly.
Marcus picked up the flash drive, a triumphant smirk spreading slowly across his thin, ruthless lips.
“With these numbers, our bid on Monday morning will beat Whitfield Development by exactly one percent,” Marcus gloated.
“And what about Daniel? How do we destroy his reputation the way he destroyed mine?” Vanessa demanded.
“Letting him lose the municipal skyscraper contract in public will destroy his reputation far better than any gossip,” Marcus replied.
“By Monday afternoon, Daniel Whitfield won't just be single; he’ll be bankrupt and humiliated in front of the entire Southeast.”

Vanessa smiled a dark, vindictive smile, imagining the look of total defeat on Daniel’s face when he lost everything.
