Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 657

Chapter 657

Vania's words were actually a warning to Thomas—she wanted to tell him not to cause any more trouble at their filming site. Thomas responded with a rather exasperated scoff. Do I really look like someone as unchivalrous as that? "I just want to have a few words with him," Thomas told Vania.

"Sure. I need to work now," she said with a nod before excusing herself. However, she had only taken a few steps away when Thomas stopped her. She had already expected him to do so—she was certain that he wanted to talk about Yvonne. She didn't want to be the first to bring it up as she wanted to hear what he had to say.

Thomas hesitated for a long while before he spoke in a strained voice. "Will you help me if I offer you another secret base?" he asked.

Vania smiled. "What do you mean? I don't really understand what you're saying." Thomas knew that Vania was fooling around with him, yet he had no choice but to explain himself patiently. "I'm talking about Yvonne."

"Oh. What about her?" Vania eyed the other man with an innocent look on her face.

"It's all over the Internet."

"Ah…" Vania exclaimed as if she had just realized what was going on. "Are you talking about how Eddie went over to visit her?"

"No. I'm talking about you suing her." Thomas shook his head.

Vania widened her eyes intentionally. "The person behind that incident was indeed a terrible person. But what has this got to do with Yvonne?" Vania acted as if she was just a victim who didn't know what was going on at all.

"Yvonne is the one behind all of this." Thomas was certain that Vania knew the truth, but he still stated it in a clear manner anyway. "So, I want you to help me out. I know that Hanson and Bryan aren't going to let her go so easily," he said.

"You should talk to them, then. Anyway, why should I help a person who attacked me multiple times?" Vania glared at Thomas.

"Well, you're the only one who can change Hanson's mind. Bryan trusts you as well." The only thing Thomas could do then was to beg her.

"You think too highly of me, Young Master Thomas. I believe that everyone has their own opinions and free will. How can I convince them to do anything at all?" Vania's tone sounded colder than before. She didn't want to discuss this matter with Thomas at all. Furthermore, there was no way she was going to speak on behalf of Yvonne. If anything, she'd only support Hanson and Bryan's actions.

Thomas wasn't about to give up just yet. "Our family has another secret base in East Bay. If you help me, I'll transfer ownership of the place to you." This offer sounded like a gift from heaven to any regular businessman. However, Vania simply scoffed at his offer. "I'm just a normal woman. Why would I need so many secret bases?" Does he think I'm that easy? Does he think that he can just offer me his secret bases every time he needs my help? If I really wanted that base, I can claim it for myself without even exerting much effort. I don't need to agree to his offer at all.

Thomas froze when he saw how uninterested Vania seemed. "But previously, you—"

"People change, Thomas." Vania interrupted him. The rest of the Keplers' secret bases meant nothing to Vania, so there was no difference whether or not she gained ownership of them.

Thomas stared at her with a pained look in his eyes. If she doesn't want the secret base, what else can I offer in exchange for her help? Is my sister really going to get punished by the law?

At that moment, Bryan walked over to them. He had just gotten his makeup done. When Bryan saw Thomas, Bryan was no longer as friendly as he was in the past. "Hey, Thomas," Bryan greeted in a flat tone. Then, Bryan brushed past the other man before walking toward his filming site.

Thomas hastily suppressed all his emotions before hurrying after Bryan. "I'd like to have a few words with you in private, Bryan."
