Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 771

Chapter 771

However, Linda came in with the information soon afterward. After all, it was a piece of cake for them to look into such things. "Boss, he does have a jade mine under his name that's been operating smoothly, but the Kepler Family is the jade mine's largest shareholder."

That explains it, thought Vania with a sneer. "Is it Benjamin or Thomas?" The right to control the Keplers' family business had always been in Benjamin's hands, but there had been signs of Thomas taking over the family business recently. Moreover, Thomas didn't care much about what happened in the army anymore.

"It's Thomas." Linda had found out the shareholder's name.

When Vania heard this, her sneer deepened. Liam really is Thomas' close buddy, huh? To think that he came up with a business collaboration in order for me to make it up with the Keplers. What a brilliant scheme! That being said, I'm not someone who'd take relationships into consideration. Since I can take 70 percent of the profits, why should I say no? She smirked. Apparently, she already had plans of her own. She said to Linda, "Just pretend that we don't know this. Let him follow up on it slowly."

Linda instantly realized what Vania meant. She replied with a smile, "In that case, I'll draft an agreement." Didn't he say that we can make demands as we please? In that case, we'll make more demands.

Vania smiled meaningfully. "Go ahead."

"Yes, Boss."

…

Meanwhile, Thomas had been showing up on Yvonne's film set these days for the purpose of meeting Vania by chance. However, he didn't expect that Vania hadn't come to the movie set over the past few days. There wasn't any good news from Liam either, so he had no choice but to be patient.

This afternoon, however, he couldn't restrain himself anymore. Walking into the movie set, he found Bryan, who was taking a break. Sitting beside the man, he said with a smile, "I never thought you'd like acting so much. To think that you can persevere for so long." Bryan had never shown perseverance in anything before.

Bryan smiled. "Well, I have to show my talent in some way, right? I can't keep being outshone by you and Hanson." His attitude toward Thomas had never changed. After all, relationships between men weren't as complicated as those between women.

"How much longer before this movie of yours wraps up filming?" Thomas tried to pump Bryan for information. "Why doesn't Vania come here anymore?"

Bryan told Thomas the whole truth without hiding anything. "The recent scenes are relatively simple, so Vania seldom comes here. We'll wrap up filming in two more months, I think."

Thomas pondered for a moment. Yvonne would finish filming her scenes in a month's time, upon which time he'd no longer have an excuse to visit Vania's movie set. By then, he wouldn't be able to meet her by chance.

Seeing his thoughtful expression, Bryan asked, "What's the matter? You seem like you have a lot on your mind."

Thomas was so lost in thought that he didn't hear Bryan at all. Instead, he was still pondering over how to get to meet Vania. At the moment, he felt like he was really possessed.

"Thomas? Thomas!" Bryan called him a few times.

Only then did Thomas turn his head sharply. "Oh, I'm fine. It's just that I didn't get enough rest. Just do your best while filming your scenes. I'm going to check on Yvonne," he said before leaving.

Puzzled, Bryan darted a look at Thomas from behind. Why is he acting mysterious? That's so strange.

Yvonne had been looking at Thomas. Seeing how he had a strange expression on his face after coming back from visiting Bryan, she said somewhat mockingly, "What's that look on your face, Thomas? Could it be that you were turned away?"
