Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 397

Chapter 401

Even George was startled, but he continued to drink his tea as though he was unbothered.

However, Melanie immediately dropped her phone and sprang up from the couch. Vania was also here, so there was nothing to be excited about anymore.

It was at that moment when Hanson and Vania already walked through the door.

Josie utterly ignored their stony looks as she broke into a smile and welcomed them, "Welcome, President Luke. Please take a seat." Then, she sidestepped and invited Hanson to a seat on the couch, completely ignoring Vania, and turned to Melanie in annoyance. "Why are you still standing there, Melanie? Come and greet President Luke now!"

The expression on Hanson's face was abnormally aloof, and he didn't care about Josie at all.

On the other hand, George had no idea what had happened and seemed to have noticed them just now. He acted like a respected elder with his prideful attitude while taking a sip of his tea before he said to Vania, "You're finally willing to come home. I just made this tea. Take a seat here with Hanson and have a try."

If it weren't for Hanson's appearance, he would never be so polite to Vania because he still remembered how he was humiliated in her office.

However, she didn't even bother sparing him a glance. Instead, she lunged forward and went straight for Melanie's throat, which startled her.

"What are you doing, Vania?" she uttered, grappling and scratching Vania's arms.

Vania had a gloomy look in her eyes as she tightened her grip.

All of a sudden, Melanie gasped for air, and her eyes were filled with fear as she scratched Vania's arm with her nails in an attempt to make Vania loosen her grip.

Despite that, the more she struggled, the harder Vania gripped her throat, though. It was as though Vania could not feel the pain inflicted on her arms at all.

"Uh…" Unable to speak from Vania's grip, Melanie choked and peered at Josie with pleas.

Only then did Josie snap out of shock. "Vania, have you lost your mind? Let go right now!" she exclaimed and went forward to tug at Vania, but Vania lifted her leg and kicked her aside.

"Oh my, Dear! Do something and teach this ungrateful child a lesson. She wants to strangle Melanie to death, and she even struck me!" Josie scrambled to her feet and rushed to George's side. She was too terrified to get close to Vania in case she would suffer another hit from her again.

George furrowed his brows tightly. "How dare you, Vania! This is the Greysons' place, not your office. This is your first return after so long, and you're already starting a fight?"

He was as arrogant and cocky as he used to be, so he naturally assumed that everyone should listen to him. He especially wanted Vania to cave to him so that he could satisfy his need to be superior to others. "I order you to let go right now!"

Vania merely let out a derisive snort, thought of him as nothing, and exerted more force through her arms, pinning Melanie to the wall and scaring the wits out of her.

Josie immediately panicked and when she saw that George was useless, she couldn't care less whose side Hanson was on and said, "Look how Vania is acting now, President Luke, completely disregarding us. Is she going to commit murder now?"

"You deserve it." Hanson's voice was ruthless, sounding like he couldn't wait for Vania to kill Melanie.

She shook her head in disbelief. "T-This…"

George huffed angrily, "What the hell is going on?"

Alas, Melanie, who wanted to explain herself, was pinned to the wall and could only choke out a few incoherent sputters.

Finally, Vania opened her mouth and spat out each word clearly, "Hand over the antidote, and I'll spare your life."

After that, her grip loosened a little, and Melanie started coughing uncontrollably before saying in the end, "Vania Greyson, are you out of your mind? Why did you suddenly barge into my house without informing us and attempt to strangle me to death?"
