"Who's a couple? We're definitely not," the two answered simultaneously.
How were they not when they already had so much chemistry?
Vania and Hanson exchanged a glance and decided to ignore the two, focusing on their meal instead.
…
Meanwhile, in the police station, Yvonne was locked up in a small black room without even a window, and the entire room was blocked by a large iron door. The faint light seeping in through the hallway allowed her to identify where her fingers were. However, ever since she came here, no one had interrogated her, let alone targeted her, and she was left alone without anything happening. As a result, she couldn't tell what time it was or whether it was day or night. She didn't eat any of the food delivered by the police officer, and she just sat dazedly, not feeling a hint of regret.
"Yvonne Kepler, someone is here to see you." Just then, an officer's voice sounded.
In an instant, Yvonne excitedly clung onto the iron gate. Her first thought was that someone from the Kepler Family had come, but when she saw the visitor, she was surprised. It wasn't her family, but she had seen this person before.
"Why are you here?" Her tone was unpleasant, and her disappointment was clear as well.
"I'm here to visit you, of course." The man's tone was unfriendly, and he looked around at their surroundings as he spoke. "Tsk tsk, I never thought that the young lady of the Kepler Family would be reduced to such a state."
"What do you want to say?" Yvonne wasn't interested in his mockery.
"Miss Kepler, do you want to consider working together with me?"
This man was Eddie. When he saw the news of Vania's argument with Yvonne, he immediately went to Yvonne with the intention of bringing her to his side then, but he didn't expect her to refuse him without any hesitation. However, Yvonne still didn't respond to him now.
Seeing the hesitation on her face, Eddie said, "Don't you want revenge, Miss Kepler? As long as we join hands, we can definitely beat Vania and Hanson. Once it's over, Hanson will return to you and Vania will return to me. What do you think?"
"With your abilities?" Yvonne looked disdainful as she said sarcastically, "You're just another man who lost to Hanson. Why should I believe that you'll win?"
Eddie's expression immediately darkened, but he did not lose his temper in front of her. "From the looks of the current situation, I think us working together is the best choice."
He had planned everything five years ago, but he had never expected it to be ruined by that woman, Vania. Furthermore, not only did that idiot, Melanie, not help him, but she also destroyed his plan and made things more difficult. Fortunately, Yvonne appeared, and this accident gave him a new plan.
"What benefits will I get from working with you?" Yvonne was still disdainful, and was now mocking Eddie's capabilities.
"Is it not enough to get Hanson? Don't you just want to be with him?" Eddie was certain that Yvonne would be satisfied with this result.
"But, what's the point of getting a man who doesn't love me?" Yvonne's tone seemed to have changed now.
Taken aback, Eddie asked, "So, after you get out, you'll get along with them?"
"Do you think I still have a chance of getting out?" Yvonne asked rhetorically. Vania would definitely not let her go easily. Besides, the Kepler Family was probably being passive as well. If not, why hadn't they bailed her out yet?
"I can find a way to free you, as long as you're willing to work with me."
