"Mom." Thomas stopped her. "This matter has nothing to do with Vania. This is all because of the choices Yvonne made."
A stubborn Jasmine could not comprehend what he was saying. "What do you mean nothing to do with her? Would Yvonne have acted so rashly if it hadn't been for her? Yvonne is your younger sister. If you're not gonna care about her, I'll think of a way myself."
"I've never said that!" Thomas roared. On top of his bad mood, he was feeling even more frustrated after Jasmine's fit.
"If you do anything now, you'll only cause more trouble. Let me think of something."
"What else can we do?"
After sighing, he pleaded, "Let me calm down and think." With her cries and screams, he could not even think straight.
Meanwhile, Benjamin was also having a headache from all the bickering, so he told Jasmine, "That's enough."
Seeing that both the father and son were heated up, she quieted down. Then, she snorted and began pacing around the room, indicating that she was feeling anxious.
"I'll try to find Bryan," Thomas suddenly spoke up.
Bryan and Vania shared a close relationship, so he should have a way to visit her whenever he was in the country. After saying that, Thomas immediately went out the door.
This was his final hope.
In the meantime, Bryan was enjoying his time off when he received a call from Thomas. "Thomas, I have time. Come on over." He chuckled. Assuming that he wanted to come over for a drink, he immediately told him the address.
He was currently having fun at the shooting range, and Thomas was quick to arrive within ten minutes.
"Over here." Bryan happily beckoned him over. "Let's compete with each other. My skills have improved a lot."
He had played with Vania a few times in private, and she had taught him a few tricks, which greatly increased his skill level. Hence, he was now full of confidence.
"Sure." Though Thomas was not in a good mood, he still agreed to Bryan's suggestion. Since he had so much on his mind, he missed all ten shots.
Feeling puzzled, Bryan asked, "Thomas, do you have something on your mind?"
This isn't your usual score.
While nodding, Thomas initiated. "Let's sit down and have a chat." His patience was already at its limit after playing with Bryan for such a long time.
"Sure. What's the matter with you?" It was rare for Bryan to see him behave in such a way.
"I…" Thomas was a little hesitant as he did not know how to say it.
While patting his shoulder, Bryan assured him. "We have such a close relationship. What's so difficult that you can't tell me? I won't ask anymore if it's too hard to say."
While pouring himself a cup of water, Thomas sighed. "Yvonne left home."
"What does that mean?" Bryan could not understand what he meant by that sudden explanation.
Feeling resigned, Thomas continued, "Have you heard how Yvonne was spreading rumors about Vania on the Internet?" He did not know the reason, but he still wanted to verify whether Vania's words were true.
After hesitating for a moment, Bryan was unsure whether he should tell him the truth. In the end, he still replied honestly, "I know. Vania told me herself."
Thomas was surprised, not expecting that Vania would tell Bryan. "What—" He wanted to ask what Vania meant, but the cat got his tongue.
Bryan knew what he was trying to say, so he explained, "Yvonne spread fake rumors about me and Vania back then. That's why she told me her plan."
Then, Thomas nodded to indicate that he understood.
Following that, Bryan asked again, "Does Yvonne leaving home have anything to do with this?"
