Chapter 983 Can’t Get Any Worse Than This

"That's why I called you." As Thomas spoke, his eyes suddenly went wide.

Noticing his strange gaze, Liam turned in the direction Thomas was looking at. "Is that… Vania and Hanson?"

What are they doing here?

Thomas wasn't sure if it was because of the video, but he clearly got nervous upon seeing the couple.

Liam asked for his opinion. "Should I invite them to our table?"

There was a glint in his eyes as he added, "Or you can be honest with them. You will be safe from Yvonne's threat."

Thomas was considering the possibility of doing that as a slight frown appeared between his eyebrows.

Liam reminded him again. "You have to remember that Kepler Properties and the Luke Corporation cannot have a fallout."

Judging from the current situation, the Kepler Family stood no chance against an attack from the Luke Corporation.

Being on Hanson's side would be the best thing to do now.

Thomas eventually nodded. "Let's share a table, then."

Hearing Thomas give his permission, Liam immediately stood up and went to the couple.

"I just knew there was something magical about the way our paths cross."

Vania and Hanson were taken by surprise when they heard that. They didn't think they would bump into Liam here.

Vania even found it strange to hear such words from him.

That's a weird way to describe a friendship, she thought.

As she looked behind him, she saw Thomas sitting there. "Magical, indeed," she commented with a smile. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Liam proceeded to unhurriedly invite Vania and Hanson to their table. "We got here just a while ago. How about we have a meal together?"

Vania was still smiling when she said, "I'm sure you and Thomas have something to talk about?"

"I just came back from a week-long trip abroad. We were just sitting together and having an idle talk." When Liam spoke, he deliberately glanced at Hanson with a gaze that screamed, "I know that you were the one who pulled some petty trick to have me sent abroad!"

Hanson only quirked his eyebrows. He was unfazed by the fact that Liam knew the truth. "It would be ungracious not to accept your kind invitation," he murmured. "We will do you the honor."

Liam itched to give Hanson a big slap when he watched the other man acting like he was superior to them.

But considering how strained their relationship was, he had no choice but to smile and reply, "This way please, oh great President Luke."

Thomas quickly gathered his emotions when he saw the trio walking in his direction.

However, he still looked awkward no matter how he tried to calm down.

"You must be in a pleasant mood to come out and have an idle talk at a time like this." Hanson was the first one who spoke up. He seemed to be hinting something as he spoke to Thomas, who forced a smile and replied on behalf of the Keplers.

"Our family will take responsibility for what Yvonne did."

He then gave Liam a look that seemed to be asking if he should mention the video now.

Before Liam could answer, Vania mentioned, "Just say what you have to say. It's not like our relationship can get any worse than this."

Thomas knew that there was no fault in what she said, but still, he didn't like hearing something like this from her.

He finally put his phone in front of her.

"What are you doing?" she asked, puzzled.

Hanson had also pulled his eyebrows together as he was confused by what Thomas was doing.

"Go ahead and play the video. My drunk words are my sober thoughts."

Vania instinctively rejected him. "I don't have the hobby of prying into people's secrets."

"This is important to me. Please, just watch it," he urged in a pleading voice.

Vania stayed still, but Hanson pressed the play button on the video.

Every word uttered in the recording was then heard by all four of them.
