He kept feeling that he could see hints of his own sister in Vania.
Not expecting Liam to mention her mother like that, Vania immediately dropped the smile on her face.
She didn't really like him putting out questions so blatantly.
Feeling reserved, she nodded while saying, "Yes."
Then, she took a seat next to Hanson, refusing to participate in this topic anymore.
Hanson sensed that Vania was unhappy, so he touched her hand, telling her not to overthink it.
Subsequently, Vania leaned against Hanson's arm. "Bring me another glass of juice, please? I want the same one I drank just now."
This was her way of telling Hanson that she was alright, but she was still tired from her performance, and she needed to quench her thirst.
Hanson put the glass to her lips. "Shall I feed you mouth-to-mouth?"
"No thanks." Vania pouted, then gave a 'hmph' as she finished the glass of juice.
Liam knew that he was being rude just now, and he expressed a quick apology on his face.
Vania merely smiled in return as she was over it now.
Yvonne couldn't stand it any longer, so she spoke up, "You truly gave everyone a surprise, Miss Greyson. However, I wonder how much your performance is worth."
Only performers ask for money in return for their performance. It was supposed to be just entertainment, so now Yvonne's words were an insult to Vania.
Without waiting for Vania to answer, she sneered and said, "Today is a great day since we are all gathered here. Why don't you sing another song for us, Miss Greyson? Treat it as a way of adding to the fun. You won't decline, will you?"
Now, Yvonne wanted to insult Vania by making her do the lowliest job of singing along.
Nevertheless, Vania wasn't angered by that. She simply looked at Yvonne, wondering what else the latter would say.
Yvonne was waiting for Vania to reply, but she never expected Vania to be this calm.
The thing she hated the most was Vania's indifferent behavior. She wanted to see Vania fly into a rage. "Miss Greyson, are you declining us? Aren't you looking down on me a little? You don't even want to give me a proper welcome?"
Yvonne thought Vania would get angry, but Vania unexpectedly nodded just like that. "I've already told you earlier that with your status, you won't be able to afford me."
"Yvonne, you can't say things like that." Just then, Thomas interrupted Yvonne. He knew that no good words would come out of her mouth.
Anything she said would only enrage Vania and Hanson.
Smiling, Thomas said to everyone else, "Let's keep playing."
Reluctant, Yvonne struggled to keep fighting Vania, but Thomas held her in a death grip so that she couldn't move. Thereafter, Thomas gave her a warning glare.
When Yvonne saw the stern look in her brother's eyes, she finally gave up on struggling.
Grabbing the opportunity, April instantly switched up the atmosphere. "It landed on you last time, so now we begin spinning from you, Vania. Let's see who it lands on next."
"Sure." Vania immediately agreed, fully cooperative with them. The wheel spun quickly, but unexpectedly, it landed on Hanson.
"Oh, it's Hanson! It's Hanson!" Bryan smiled in surprise.
"Just as expected of Vania, you're definitely fated to be with Hanson, which is why Hanson was picked." April was excited as well.
"Hanson! Hanson!" The others began cheering.
After all, in past gatherings, Hanson never joined childish games like this. Moreover, even if Hanson sat at the same table as them, they dared not get Hanson to play with them.
In fact, today was the first time.
"Hanson, come and draw a paper." April eagerly passed the box of marked paper to Hanson.
"Darling, you're the lucky one here. Help me draw one." With his arms around Vania, Hanson looked like he owned this place.
