Liam was aware that Yvonne's resentment toward Vania had not yet subsided, so he asked instead, "How about your feelings for Hanson?"
He understood that she and Vania got into the fight because she secretly had feelings for Hanson. The situation would be a little more complicated if she felt the same way about Hanson. Ultimately, the Kepler siblings falling in love with a couple could not be rationally or emotionally justified. If word got out, wouldn't they become a public laughingstock?
"Just tell me what you want to say, Liam." Yvonne would not engage him in conversation regarding this subject.
Nonetheless, Liam remained composed. "I just want to assist you two." It was true that he didn't want any of them to get hurt.
"What do any of these things have to do with you?"
Since she was still referring to him as "Liam" for the time being, she was willing to show him some tolerance. However, her patience quickly dwindled, and she would soon be exhausted.
Liam had no trouble discerning Yvonne's current hostile feelings toward him. His good intentions to help came across to her as deliberate attempts to undermine.
He put his hands up in a sign of surrender and stated, "Although I have no personal stake in any of these issues, I would hate to see anyone lose their way because I have more life experience than you do."
"Even if I wander off course, that will be my choice. Isn't that right?" She appeared to have become so engrossed in her thoughts that there seemed no way out.
Yvonne targeted Vania because she harbored romantic feelings for Hanson, but her actions had no bearing on their relationship. So, how about them? How could they permanently tarnish her reputation? Her memory of those events was as fresh as if they had happened yesterday.
She attempted to make a comeback in show business even after her return to the country but to no avail. After making so much effort to get back on track, Vania's nonchalant words could still push Yvonne away and attract a bunch of mocking sneers from the public, no matter where she went. It was as though she had reached a point of no return. Who else could take on the burden of her past anguish?
When Liam met her resentful gaze, he was taken aback and at a loss for words. It took him a while before uttering, "I know that you and Vania had a falling out, but both families have reconciled and sent you abroad to avoid the spotlight."
"What are you trying to say?" Yvonne interrupted him.
He continued, "Perhaps, Vania would prefer that you never return, but here you are. Why don't you just move forward with your life and forget about everything? Getting back into the chaotic showbiz world seems pointless."
"Mr. Jones," she barked. "If you are here to criticize me, then I don't find the need to do so."
Calling him "Mr. Jones" was an expression of her anger. It also hinted that she no longer wanted to be related to him. In any case, there was never any relationship between them.
With a sigh, Liam persuaded. "You might think I'm favoring Vania, but I've always cared about the two of you and your well-being. It'll be beneficial to everyone—"
"I've had enough of your motivational speech and am sick of it now. Ask my brother to personally thank you for sending him home earlier. Goodbye."
Yvonne was making an effort to get him to leave. She refused to confront him and to hear his motivational speech. All she wanted was a fight with Vania, and even if she came out on the losing end, she was willing to accept it.
Before he left, Liam advised one last time. "I do wish that you would give this some serious consideration. Stop being so fixated on it."
