Chapter 493


    When she said that, she made it sound like there really was something between them.


    Hanson didn''t reply, but she wasn''t fazed by that as she continued, "Let''s have dinner together


    later." Fearing that Hanson would decline, she exined, "My brother will being back today as


    well, so it''s sort of a weing party."


    "Sure." He nodded. He didn''t mind meeting his friends. After all, they had grown up together, and it


    had been a long time since hest met Thomas.


    Yvonne smiled in delight; she was a little surprised that Hanson would agree.


    She turned to look at Vania in glee. "You cane along."


    This gathering was like a chance she graciously offered to Vania. In a way, it was somewhat true;


    not everyone could attend this gathering, after all.


    Yvonne had been abroad all this time, so she didn''t know Vania''s position. Even now, she continued


    to look down on the woman.


    To her, Vania was only a cunning woman who managed to get her hands on Hanson, and the


    woman could only act so high and mighty with him around.


    "It''s not that easy to invite me to a meal." There was disdain in Vania''s eyes.


    So what if it was the Kepler Family? Even if her father came and extended the invitation, she could


    still decline the invitation if she was in a bad mood, much less Yvonne, this woman she didn''t like.


    When Yvonne saw Vania''s taunting look, she went pale in the face. She never thought that Vania


    would be brave enough to be so rude to her. Didn''t Vania know who the Keplers were?


    "What did you say?" Yvonne really thought that she was hearing things.


    When she invited others to a meal, everyone would usually ept her invitation readily and


    respectfully. Not only did this woman decline the offer, she even treated it like it was nothing.


    Was she really that foolish, or was she faking it?


    "My presence is expensive. Not everyone can afford to dine at the same table as me," Vania


    exined to herzily.


    She liked seeing this woman il around in ignorance.

    Yvonne''s expression looked even worse, for no one had insulted her like this before. There was a


    hint of anger in her eyes now.


    When Vania saw Yvonne getting worked up, she smiled instead. "Still, you don''t have to worry. I''ll


    give you a chance for my husband''s sake. I''ll be there on time at night."


    Yvonne gritted her teeth, but she didn''t know how to reply. She feared that she would ruin Hanson''s


    impression of her.


    However, when Hanson heard Vania calling him her husband again, his thoughts drifted away. He


    could only feel every cell in his body screaming as he held her closer to him. "You''re my wife, so


    you have to attend. I can introduce my friends to you."


    Bringing a woman into his own social circle meant that he had acknowledged her position.


    Yvonne simply felt unusually awkward now. She wanted to shame Vania, but she had been shamed


    instead.


    Fortunately, she didn''t say anything outrageous. It didn''t matter, though, for there was still a


    gathering tonight. In fact, she hoped that Vania would attend as that woman was in for a treat


    tonight.


    "Hanson, I still have some matters to attend to, so I''ll be leaving now. See you tonight." Her words


    were always directed at Hanson.


    Meanwhile, Hanson wasn''t in the mood to answer her, so he just nodded quickly.


    He had been waiting so long for Vania to call him her husband, after all.


    Seeing that Yvonne was finally about to leave, he pulled Vania back to the lounge urgently. With a


    m, he shut the door.


    Yvonne was so startled that she stood and stared in their direction. Was this actually something


    Hanson could do?


    She stared intently at the door, her emotions crashing into one another.


    Meanwhile, things were progressing inside the lounge.
