Hope It's Not Too Late to Love
Chapter 635

Chapter 635

Back at the Keplers' residence, Jasmine was elated to see that Yvonne had returned. She rushed up to the girl and exclaimed tearfully, "Let me take a good look at you, Yvonne."

Having circled the girl several times, she finally let Yvonne go and said, "Thank goodness you're alright." She let out a long sigh of relief and felt the knots in her stomach finally loosen.

"I'm sorry I made you worry, Mom," Yvonne muttered quietly, looking worn-out as she sat down expressionlessly on the couch. There was no telling what was going through her mind right now.

Benjamin was already furious to begin with, but when he saw how dejected his daughter looked, he swallowed his anger and merely gave the table a rough slap. All his exasperation and the profanities that threatened to escape him were compressed into one sentence, and he bit it out through gritted teeth, "It's good to have you back."

Knowing that he was boiling with rage, Yvonne turned to him and nodded. "I'm sorry, Dad." Apologizing was the only thing she could do now.

Thomas, on the other hand, started lecturing her, "Dad's company took a pretty bad hit after what you've done. You have to be more sensible from now on." With a sigh, he sat down next to her on the couch and added in a softer tone, "If there's ever anything you need help with, you can always come to me. You don't have to try and solve your own problems on your own, okay?" Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

When she heard that Benjamin's company had taken a bad hit, Yvonne looked up and asked the three of them, "What did Vania make you do?"

"It doesn't matter anymore. Dad and I will fix things up, so don't you worry about it." Thomas only wanted her to be happy, and he had no plans to tell her about all that had happened leading up to her release.

A dark gleam flashed in Yvonne's eyes as she fell silent once more, but countless thoughts started welling up in her.

Benjamin went on to emphasize, "Word of Eddie's visit at the police station has gotten out, so watch yourself, got it?"

"Was Vania the one who leaked the news in the first place?" Yvonne pressed.

Evading the question, Benjamin answered, "Had Eddie not visited you at the holding cell, it might have taken us longer to wash our hands off this incident."

Yvonne had already seen the entire narrative Vania had spun about Eddie, and she was admittedly shocked. She never imagined Vania to be so ruthless. She then took a deep breath and apologized to her family once more before saying tiredly, "I'll be resting in my room."

"Okay, I'll stay with you," Jasmine offered immediately, standing up and falling in step behind Yvonne.

Meanwhile, the internet blew up after Eddie's involvement was made known to the public. All the netizens were hurling scathing remarks at him, calling him all sorts of names.

Upon reading the news, Eddie was so furious that he threw his phone onto the ground and shattered its screen. Not only had paying Yvonne a visit at the police station not reaped him any benefits, he had also landed himself in hot water. Well-played, Vania, he thought mutinously, seething with rage.

He was starting to get a taste of what hitting rock-bottom felt like.

Next to him, Bailey stood stiffly and dared not make a sound.

"I want to destroy Vania," Eddie hissed menacingly, clenching his jaw. He hated that she was always meddling with his plans. The chances of him bringing down Hanson were slim to begin with, and now, they were almost completely gone.

As things were, he could only resort to using the only weapon he had left in his arsenal. "How are things over at the school?"

"I'm afraid Lilith and Tilly have not found the chance to get closer to the Luke Family, sir," Bailey replied cautiously and quietly, worried that the slightest thing might tick Eddie off.

Naturally, Tilly and her mother, Thea, were working for Eddie. The mother and daughter were hired to approach Hanson and his family after Lilith could not get the job done. Unfortunately, Tilly's attempts to forge a friendship or even acquaint herself with the Luke Family had been unsuccessful, and the only bright side to all this was that the Luke siblings did not find her an eyesore.

"What do you mean they haven't found the chance?" Eddie growled, casting a sideways glance at Bailey as his features twisted into a malicious grimace.
