Chapter 7 - Vanessa’s Version of LoyaltyVanessa requested one supervised meeting with Alexander.
She said Northstar Vale’s collapse would have destroyed her financially. She had invested through hidden accounts because Alexander dismissed every project she proposed under her own name.
“You made me invisible,” she said.

It did not justify fraud.
“You could have left,” he said.
“And become the woman who spent ten years beside a billionaire and walked away with nothing?”
The answer revealed how she measured the relationship.
Vanessa insisted she never intended permanent injury. She wanted enough time to complete the sale and stabilize the investment before Alexander recovered.
“You planned to take my decisions while I couldn’t make them.”

“I planned to save what you were throwing away.”
