Bryan obviously knew why Thomas was here. "You don't want to see your sister getting hurt, but I don't want to see my good friend getting hurt either," Bryan said with a rather dejected look on his face. He had long considered himself and Jennifer to be on the same team. "Yvonne was just too much. She deserves to be taught a lesson." It was rare for Bryan to show such a firm and stern side of himself. He wasn't trying to overpower anyone—he simply had a strong sense of loyalty toward his friends.
Even though he always put on a fun and cheerful look in front of everyone, he had still inherited his father's abilities—he had his way of dealing with the situation when it got serious. Thomas knew Bryan well, so he knew that Bryan was genuinely mad this time. When Bryan saw how quiet Thomas was, he continued talking. "Eddie went to look for Yvonne. You know about this, don't you?" Bryan seemed to have automatically assumed that Yvonne and Eddie were a team in this matter. He even considered the possibility that both of them had worked together to harm his friends.
Thomas quickly shook his head before speaking up for Yvonne. "I know about this, but I'm sure that Yvonne would never work with Eddie. Eddie is just trying to sabotage her."
"Well, please don't make things hard for me, Thomas." Bryan felt bad whenever he thought about how unhappy Jennifer felt. Right then, Jennifer walked out of the room after getting her makeup done. When she saw Vania and Bryan talking to Thomas, she hurried off without even greeting Vania.
Bryan immediately left Thomas behind and chased after Jennifer when he saw her. "Wait for me, Jennifer! Let's go together." Bryan walked over to Jennifer and instinctively reached for her hand. However, she swiftly dodged his hand before speaking to him in a rather grumpy tone. "Didn't you learn anything after what happened online? You shouldn't be so touchy in public." She sounded rather annoyed, but she couldn't explain why. Perhaps she was mad because she had caught Bryan speaking to her enemy's family member.
Bryan scratched his nose awkwardly. "That incident online only happened because someone was trying to hurt us. It won't happen again. Furthermore, I got someone to handle this issue. You know that Yvonne has been arrested, right?"
"Well, I still don't like it when others misunderstand us." Jennifer made her words clear. They would have to be more mindful of their interactions since they weren't a couple. She recalled a comment that had told them to be more mindful, and she agreed with it.
Bryan felt rather uneasy after hearing her words, so he quietly kept his hand behind his back before tagging along behind Jennifer. He still tried his best to please her. Meanwhile, Thomas had no choice but to leave when he saw Bryan walking away. He knew that there was no point in going after Bryan anymore. I guess I'll have to ask Liam if he has any plans, Thomas thought.
Throughout the rest of the day, Jennifer kept her distance from Bryan, which made him feel rather upset. Vania could tell how disappointed Bryan was, so she approached him after their filming was done. "What is it? Why do you look so down?" she asked.
He let out a sigh. "Why does Jennifer keep ignoring me, Vania?"
"Didn't she tell you that she doesn't want others to misunderstand the relationship you have with her?" Vania replied. Jennifer made things clear, didn't she? I can't believe Bryan still doesn't understand this.
"But what happened online only happened because someone was trying to frame us. No one will misunderstand our relationship now." Bryan felt like he hadn't done anything wrong. Deep down, he truly despised Yvonne. Jennifer wouldn't ignore me if Yvonne hadn't done such a thing, he thought.
