Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 584

Chapter 588

Vania's cold indifference was born out of her disdain for those with twisted life values such as Benjamin and Jasmine. They had no right to speak with her, as far as she was concerned, regardless of how old they were.

She despised homewreckers with a passion and had been for most of her life. Had a homewrecker never shown up, her family would still be intact, and her mother never would have left her so soon. At the thought of her mother and what she had to endure, Vania couldn't help feeling a twinge of sadness.

Just then, her assistant came up to her and said, "Boss, your schedule is already full for the year. The only available slot we have is next March."

"Then this talk will have to wait till next year," Vania decided swiftly.

Benjamin and Jasmine's blood boiled at this. It was preposterous that they would be made to wait until next year. They had never had to go through this with anyone else before.

"Do you know who I am?" Benjamin thundered.

"Who?" Vania asked right back. Why should I care who the hell you are? Without waiting for an answer, she turned and walked away.

Furious at having been ignored, Benjamin stormed up to her and cut her off. "Don't bite off more than you can chew!" he snapped. He couldn't think of a single moment in time when someone had gone against him like this. The astonishment he had felt when he first saw her dissipated, and he now gritted his teeth while glowering at her like an incensed bull waiting to charge.

Vania came to a stop. She was not one who took too well to being insulted. "You were the one who asked to see me, and you came here with all this get-up. I don't think you have the right to be mad at me for turning you down."

Jasmine did not want to waste any more time arguing with Vania, so she pointed at her and demanded, "What will it take for you to leave Hanson?"

"Are you going to agree to anything I ask for?" Vania asked, feigning interest. She wanted to see just how shameless this couple could be.

So, she does want money after all. Jasmine snorted and said, "Just name your price and I'll give you what you want."

"I don't want much, just two things." Vania turned to look at Benjamin steadily and said, "You can either kill me now, or you can transfer all your family assets to me."

As he heard her response, Benjamin's breath caught in his throat. He didn't think he had ever been so outraged before. It was bad enough that Hanson had injured his pride earlier today, yet now, some unknown woman was treating him like he was a pushover as well.

In a menacing tone, he said, "I heard you've set up a company of your own."

He made it sound as if Galaxy Corporation was a small-time player in the business world, one that he could easily destroy.

Vania, however, was unaffected by the threatening undertone of his voice as she replied, "Then it must be just a rumor."

He began to wonder why she did not seem visibly frightened. What trump card does she have against us? Hanson?

She crossed her arms and examined the pensive look on his face, "I'm pretty sure you only came here because you want me to leave Hanson and make room for your daughter."

She crossed her arms and examined the pensive look on his face, "I'm pretty sure you only came here because you want me to leave Hanson and make room for your daughter."

"If you're so astute, then why don't you leave Hanson as soon as possible?" Jasmine spat out. "Don't you have any sense of self-awareness?"

"I think I should be the one asking you that question," Vania countered acerbically with a jerk of her chin. "I'm sure you've told Hanson about this, and I trust he's made his intentions known loud and clear. The only ones who don't have a sense of self-awareness are you two."

"You have some nerve to talk to me like that!" Jasmine's veins were thrumming with rage at the thought of Vania speaking back to her.

Nevertheless, Vania was still as composed as ever. She did not flinch or try to run away, instead, she put on a show as she wept, "Why are you both threatening me like this? Please stop, you're scaring me." She even sounded like she was crying as she added, "Why did you bring so many men over here to confront me on set? I don't know what to do! Hanson and I have a family together, and our kids are already close to turning five. Why are you so dead set on tearing us apart?"

As she said this, she grabbed a piece of tissue and started to dab at the corners of her eyes. "Hanson has repeatedly made it clear that he does not like Yvonne and that he would never marry her, so why are the both of you hurting me like this?"
