Eddie was nothing but a loser's son who wasn't even presentable to upper society. He achieved nothing after competing with Hanson for so many years, so Yvonne didn't expect anything from him.
However, she was forced to work with Eddie since he could help her deal with Vania for the time being.
After Eddie walked out the door, he demanded Brandon, "What do you want to say to me?" He sounded a little grumpy and frustrated.
"We can't afford to fall out with Yvonne for now. She's a valuable asset for us."
"I know!" Eddie snapped. "But she's too bossy. I'll consider replacing her if she continues to be so arrogant."
"You have to be patient to achieve great things. Sometimes, we have to swallow out frustration no matter how hard it is," Brandon advised. He viewed the entire situation from an outsider's perspective. Hence, he had a more big-picture view of their current situation.
"But I've been patient for so long now," Eddie gritted his teeth and snarled. He had been suppressing his anger for many years and had had enough.
"Young Master—"
"Alright. That's enough," he hissed impatiently. "Let's think about what to do with Bryan."
He didn't want to make a move against Bryan at all because he didn't intend to have one more enemy. However, if he harmed Bryan, the Jones Family would team up with Hanson and attack him.
"But even if we didn't do anything to Bryan, the Jones Family would show their support to Hanson, too," Brandon stated blandly.
Eddie frowned at his astute observation. He had thought of this too, but it would still be better if he didn't harm Bryan.
Brandon understood his dilemma, and he sighed. "But we have to meet her demands now."
"A troublesome demand, that is. Do you have any ideas?"
Brandon said with a cunning grin, "I heard that Bryan's new drama is about to start shooting. How about we do something on his work and frame Yvonne for it?"
It was her idea in the first place. It would be better for the Jones Family to hate the Keplers than to hate them.
Eddie suddenly huffed in amusement. "I heard that she had harmed Vania in the drama set before, but she was discovered."
"That's because her methods were subpar," Brandon scorned. "Of course, she was discovered."
"Okay. Let's use her method again." Since she had done it before, he would copy her method and didn't have to bother thinking about a new idea. It would be best for him to do so, considering that she had a history of doing such foolish things in the past. "Tell our men to be more careful this time. We can't leave anything that would implicate us behind."
"Alright." Brandon nodded. "I'll assign our men to do it immediately."
…
On the other hand, Bryan ended his short vacation and started shooting the new drama he was starring in.
This time, the drama's female lead was not Jennifer, but the famous new actress, Minnie Turner.
Minnie looked sweet and delicate. She donned an innocent and harmless demeanor, and people would instinctively have a good impression of her. When she saw Bryan, she politely greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Jones."
She smiled very innocently, yet she behaved rather enthusiastically.
Bryan's first impression of her was rather pleasant. So, he casually said, "I'm a newcomer. Just call me by my name."
"Don't you think having some formalities will be better? After all, we're going to be shooting together for four months," Minnie said with a sweet smile, sounding as if she knew Bryan very well.
The shooting of this drama was scheduled to last for four months. As the male and female leads of the project, they would see each other often.
Bryan was relatively easygoing and didn't have a preference for formalities. Therefore, when he heard her words, he said casually, "You can call me whatever you want."
He had little interest in this sort of formality.
