Her Seven Little Bodyguards
Chapter 83

Those words sounded different in Melanie's ears.

Since when did Hanson start worrying about other people? Why did it have to be Vania?

Thinking about this, she stepped forward at once and said feebly, "Vania, Mom just wants you to have dinner with us. Why did you have to get those people to make us leave?"

Following her words, Josie chimed in to add fuel to the fire, "She's right, Vania. Have you misunderstood me? We're a family; why did you have to cause such a scene? If I did something wrong, I apologize." Vania looked at the mother and daughter in front of her, who were echoing each other's words, and felt even more ironic.

"What is it? Saw the person you wanted to meet, so you started acting good? Did I not make myself clear enough just now? I, Vania, cut off my relationship with you five years ago. Besides, my mother died a long time ago, so where did this sister of mine come from? I haven't even settled the issues with you guys, yet you come around looking for trouble over and over again? Who gave you the audacity to do that?"

Initially, they hadn't expected Vania to be so bold with her words now that Hanson was here, but surprisingly, she emitted such a strong aura, especially from her ice-cold eyes. It was so piercing that they didn't dare to look at her.

Seeing their expressions, Vania raised her head proudly and fixed her gaze on Melanie and Josie. "As for what you asked previously, what rights do I have to make you leave, you said? Considering that I am the investor of this restaurant, I own this place. So I can kick anyone out whenever I want to. Do you understand now?"

At once, everyone at the scene, including Hanson, was stunned.

This restaurant was quite well-known in Hammond. Everything in that restaurant was unique, from the interior designs and decorations to the taste of the dishes. It ranked at least in the top ten of all private restaurants. No one had expected Vania to be the investor.

Upon hearing her words, Melanie widened her eyes even more. It was such a sudden slap in the face that her mind went blank.

On the other hand, Josie had been addicted to showing off in the rich wife's social circle all these years; she hadn't paid much attention to what was going on in the outside world. So, she had no idea of Vania's current capabilities.

Even Melanie and George had overlooked Vania's abilities.

Josie asked doubtfully, "You can say anything you want, but where's the evidence?"

Just as she was questioning Vania, the lobby manager suddenly rushed over in a panic.

When he reached them, he first nodded to the crowd, then stood in front of Vania in a disciplined manner. "Ms. Greyson, what happened? I heard the waiter say something about customers who were giving you a hard time?"

Hearing this, Josie froze in place. Is Vania really the owner of this place? When did she become so capable that she could even invest in a private restaurant?

At that moment, in Josie's heart, Vania was still the puppet on strings that she could easily control.

Meanwhile, George's brows were knitted throughout the whole conversation. He stared at his daughter, who seemed very unfamiliar to him. Then, he opened his mouth, and his words came out with a completely different tone, in contrast to earlier. "Vania, let your people go back to doing their work; all this is just a misunderstanding. I haven't seen you in a long while, so let's just sit down for a peaceful meal and let us have a good chat."

Right at that moment, all he could think about was how she could bring benefits to him.

He didn't expect Vania to be so capable now, in addition to being so close with Hanson. And because of that, he softened his tone, hoping that she would be able to help his company.

After all, ever since Vania's mother passed away, his company deteriorated day by day, and he ended up needing to rely on other people's funding to maintain it.

At first, he thought that Melanie could successfully get married to Hanson so that he could keep his company safe in the long run. Alas, what he hadn't expected was how Melanie didn't live up to his expectations and was sent back by Hanson.
