He's well off enough to take care of all of Vanessa's problems obviously, and it doesn't help that he is the heir of the business trying to wipe her restaurant off the map. Problem solved. except for the fact Vanessa would probably chop her own arm off before asking for help form Kai. She would rather do things on her own. Can she take care of her huge responsibility alone? While being constantly chased by the persistent kai powers?
