Chapter 342: Fakeness

After the spoiled young lady had left the scene hastily in bitter defeat, Vanessa shifted her attention to the dispersing crowd, her confidence evident in her demeanor. 

"The spectacle's done. Are you all really that idle, focused on frivolities while a monster wave is stirring?" She scorned, observing how easily the onlookers scattered, intimidated by the commanding aura she emanated.

She was not the type to flex her authority, but that didn't mean she didn't enjoy the feelings of being revered and feared. 

Breathing a sigh of relief and satisfaction, Vanessa felt vindicated in her display of strength. She recognized that these individuals needed to learn through experience; strength, both in influence and authority, was what commanded true respect. 

The argument with Olivia Harrett affirmed her belief in the power her identity wielded in shaping others' actions and reactions.
