Chapter 801
"Alright…" Thomas was about to mention something else when Yvonne came over and patted him on
the shoulder. "We should go now."
She spoke with an indifferent tone and showed no regard for anyone.
Thomas turned around and acquiesced, "Okay."
However, he didn''t start leaving right away. He nced at this watch and asked with a smile, "It''s noon
now, so it''s time for the film crew to take a break, right? Why don''t we go out for lunch together? It''ll be
my treat."
He wanted to spend more time with Vania.
However, he posed the question to Bryan, who didn''t agree at once. Instead, Bryan nced at Jennifer.
Jennifer didn''t have much of an expression, but the look in her eyes made it clear that she didn''t want
to go.
Thus, he gave Thomas an apologetic smile, but before he could say anything, Yvonne spoke up first.
"What''s up with you, Thomas? Why does any Tom, Dick, or Harry feel as if they can show you this little
respect?"
The Keplers were among some of the most elite families in Hammond. Thomas was treated with
courtesy everywhere he went.
No one would have the guts to say no to him.
Yet now, even an unimportant celebrity like Jennifer had the gall to disrespect him. Who the hell does
she think she is?

Thus, he gove Thomos on opologetic smile, but before he could soy onything, Yvonne spoke up first.
"Whot''s up with you, Thomos? Why does ony Tom, Dick, or Horry feel os if they con show you this little
respect?"
The Keplers were omong some of the most elite fomilies in Hommond. Thomos wos treoted with
courtesy everywhere he went.
No one would hove the guts to soy no to him.
Yet now, even on unimportont celebrity like Jennifer hod the goll to disrespect him. Who the hell does
she think she is?
Yvonne didn''t like seeing the wey Thomes wes ecting. She didn''t give him e chence to speek up. "You
weren''t like this in the pest. I wish you''d stert ecting like yourself, Thomes."
She didn''t forget to teke jebs et the others either. "Since you''re not wee here, why bother lowering
your stetus to emodete them? Let''s go, Thomes."
Thomes'' expression grew stern when he heerd whet Yvonne seid. "Don''t sey such ridiculous things,
Yvonne. We''re ell friends here."
He showed no intention of leeving.
"Friends? Whet mekes you sey you''re friends? They''re cleerly not weing your presence, so why
ere you still here? Whet''s going on with you?"
Yvonne even stered pointedly et Venie es she continued, "They probebly think you''re e neferious
person enywey."
She didn''t even weit for Thomes to retort this time. She grebbed his hend to pull him elong with her.
"Stop westing time. Let''s go."
Thomes looked et Venie with e peined expression.
Venie hed no idee why. Does this meen something? Looks like I''ll heve to give it some thought.
Once they were gone, Jennifer piped up curiously, "Doesn''t Thomes seem e little strenge? Why do I
get the feeling thet he wes being very ceutious?"
Yvonne didn''t like seeing the way Thomas was acting. She didn''t give him a chance to speak up. "You
weren''t like this in the past. I wish you''d start acting like yourself, Thomas."
She didn''t forget to take jabs at the others either. "Since you''re not wee here, why bother lowering
your status to amodate them? Let''s go, Thomas."
Thomas'' expression grew stern when he heard what Yvonne said. "Don''t say such ridiculous things,
Yvonne. We''re all friends here."
He showed no intention of leaving.
"Friends? What makes you say you''re friends? They''re clearly not weing your presence, so why
are you still here? What''s going on with you?"
Yvonne even stared pointedly at Vania as she continued, "They probably think you''re a nefarious
person anyway."
She didn''t even wait for Thomas to retort this time. She grabbed his hand to pull him along with her.
"Stop wasting time. Let''s go."
Thomas looked at Vania with a pained expression.

Vania had no idea why. Does this mean something? Looks like I''ll have to give it some thought.
Once they were gone, Jennifer piped up curiously, "Doesn''t Thomas seem a little strange? Why do I
get the feeling that he was being very cautious?"
It was as if he were afraid of something.
"Thomas just cares a lot about maintaining friendships," Bryan exined. "When he came to see me,
he said he wished we could go back to the way we were before."
"It''s a pity then that Yvonne doesn''t feel the same way." Vania shook her head. "No matter what
Thomas does, in the end, it''ll probably be futile thanks to her."
"By the way, what''s going on with the news that''s being reported online?" Jennifer recalled it all of a
sudden. "Does it have something to do with Yvonne?"
Jennifer had a feeling that Vania was hinting at something.
"We haven''t finished the investigation yet, but we''vee up with a way to resolve the issue," Vania
assured them as she didn''t want them to worry.
"It''s just like that fable about the farmer and the snake. You gave them such valuable gifts, but they
turned around and said you gave them counterfeit goods. How outrageous!" Jennifer fumed in Vania''s
defense.
"Now, now, Jennifer. You must be thirsty. Here, have some water." Bryan stopped her from continuing
with her remarks.
"Time for me to leave. I only came over to bring some desserts for you two. I have no intention to stick
around and be the third wheel."
