Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 497

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 explained, "My brother will be coming back today as well, so it's sort of a welcoming 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 he last met Thomas.

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

She turned to look at Vania in glee. "You can come 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 accept 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 explained to her lazily.

She liked seeing this woman flail 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.
