Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 583

Chapter 587

Vania was not afraid in the slightest as she followed the Keplers' men to the luxurious car that was parked by the curb. The man who had led the way gestured toward the door and said to her, "Go ahead."

She stood in place and did not move, as if silently asking if the man was serious about letting her open the car door on her own when it was obviously his job as the butler to do it for her. It was insulting that he thought he could make her lower herself like this.

Upon seeing that she had no intention to open the door, the man snapped impatiently, "Mr. and Mrs. Kepler are already waiting for you. Hurry up and get in."

Raising a brow, Vania snorted, "That's the tone you're taking with me?"

The man froze at this, clearly baffled by her response. Before he could say anything, she pointed out icily, "You were the ones who asked to see me, and now you want me to open the car door for myself?"

Understanding what she was implying, the man replied mockingly, "The ones who asked to see you are Mr. and Mrs. Kepler." As far as he was concerned, Vania had no right to put up a high and mighty front before the Keplers.

She shot him a withering look. "Get your facts straight here. You are the ones who asked to see me, not the other way round." She spun on her heels and scoffed. "I don't have time to play pretend with you and your employers." With that, she marched off without so much as a backward glance, not at all bothered by the Keplers who were seated inside the car.

This was the first time the man had seen someone so blatantly disregard the Keplers, and he was completely taken aback by such a display.

They had even locked the car door on purpose while waiting for Vania to come up to the vehicle, leaving only a narrow gap in the window so that they could humiliate her and avenge Yvonne.

However, not only had their plan failed, they had been outsmarted by Vania as well.

"Rude little wench," Jasmine seethed, and rage seemed to be the only thing she felt for the majority of the day.

At that moment, Benjamin barked at his men, "Stop her!"

Immediately, the men who had escorted Vania earlier rushed up to her to block her way. "Mr. Kepler demands that you return to the car right away."

Vania smirked. Who do you think I am? Do you really think I would come to your every beck and call like some pet dog? Don't be ridiculous. She clapped her hands once, and her own men instantly filed into a line behind her, looking like they would readily take on Benjamin's men without hesitation.

"Wait."

Just as both sides were caught in a brewing tension, a middle-aged man's voice sounded somewhere from behind Vania.

"All of you, stand down," Benjamin ordered his men. Then, he addressed Vania stoically, "Have your men leave as well."

She did not do as she was told and merely turned to assess him coolly.

Benjamin was seeing Vania for the first time, and he couldn't help his surprise. He did not think there were many young people left who had such composed and confident demeanor, and it was all the more astonishing to see such qualities in a girl. Now, he could see why Hanson chose to be with her; she seemed to be in an entire league of her own.

Jasmine, on the other hand, hated Vania for what she had put Yvonne through, and she did not hold back her anger as she snapped. "Hasn't anyone ever taught you to respect your elders? How dare you treat us so rudely, you wench."

Jasmine, on the other hand, hated Vania for what she had put Yvonne through, and she did not hold back her anger as she snapped. "Hasn't anyone ever taught you to respect your elders? How dare you treat us so rudely, you wench."

Vania focused her eyes on the seething lady and appraised her lazily. "I don't recall you being my elder." In other words, Jasmine was nobody to her, and certainly not someone who deserved respect.

Incensed by this, Jasmine was about to point a finger at Vania and lash out at her when Benjamin put a stop to it. In a placating tone, he explained, "We didn't come to pick a fight with you; we're here so we can speak with you."

Vania nodded impassively. "Right, and I was prepared to iron things out with the both of you as well until I noticed that you locked the car door. And now the time for peace talks are over."

How did she know the door was locked? Benjamin did not bother hiding his bewilderment this time as he stared openly at Vania, who did not wait for him to say anything else as she added, "My time is precious, and I don't like wasting it on the likes of you. If you'd like to continue this conversation, make an appointment with my assistant and she'll see if she can slot you in."
