"But Yvonne told me you and the girl have yet to be married," Benjamin countered grimly. "But Yvonne told me you and the girl have yet to be married," Benjamin countered grimly.

"Huh." A disdainful scoff escaped Hanson when he heard this. "Guess Yvonne really is your daughter after all."

"What do you mean by that?" Jasmine demanded bewilderedly. Of course Yvonne's our daughter. She couldn't be anyone else's!

Hanson assessed her unhappily as he explained icily, "Because you're all the same. At the end of the day, what the both of you want is for me to give up on the mother of my children so that I can take Yvonne as my wife, correct?"

Confronted by Hanson's blithe question, Benjamin was suddenly at a loss for words.

Just then, Jasmine argued, "It's only common for men like you who have status and power to have a couple of girlfriends and an illegitimate child or two."

"This isn't the middle ages," Hanson bluntly interrupted. "Your statement is at odds with modern norms. Seeing as you're older than me, I won't cross the line and be too harsh with my words, but let me make myself very clear." He paused and swept his ominous gaze over the couple across from him. "I will never marry Yvonne no matter what you do to try and change my mind. If things came down to it, I would not hesitate to strike back."

He was set on protecting his woman in every way he could.

Having said all this, he rose and turned to leave without so much as a backward glance thrown at Benjamin and Jasmine. People like them with their twisted values had no right to speak to him.

Meanwhile, Benjamin watched as Hanson walked out of the door, then turned to exchange a worried glance with Jasmine. She was the first to speak, snapping angrily, "How dare he walk out on us like that! Is this the way he should be speaking to us? How could he be so arrogant? I would never let Yvonne marry a man like him even if he changes his mind about her!"

I would never let Yvonne marry a man like him even if he changes his mind about her!"

They both loved Yvonne and indulged in her every whim to the best of their ability, which took away their better judgment on certain things in life.

Presently, Benjamin sighed and said, "Yvonne will never be happy with a man so rude and arrogant anyway, so I guess this meeting was a blessing in disguise." He was a prideful man with a short fuse, and he did not like being talked down to, much less have someone disobey him, even if the person was a figure of success.

Jasmine pondered on her husband's remark before she pointed out in worry, "But Yvonne really likes him, and she refuses to marry anyone else but him. She'll be heartbroken if she learns that the matter is dropped so abruptly."

Benjamin grew sullen as he considered this. He did not want to see his own daughter crying over this either, so he asked, "What do you think we should do, Jasmine?"

Neither one of them actually stopped to think if they were doing the right thing, choosing instead to spoil their child without reason.

"I think we should keep this from Yvonne for the time being while we pay this Vania girl a visit. I'd like to see just what's so special about her and why Hanson is so bewitched by her!" Nodding, Benjamin replied, "Very well then. We'll do as you say. I did hear the butler say that that wretched woman has picked on our Yvonne on multiple occasions."

They were both furious with Vania for this, and after having someone look into her schedule, they decided to head over to the set where she worked and confront her.

Vania just so happened to have wrapped up auditions, and she was leaving through the door when she was suddenly surrounded by a bunch of men in suits.

She stopped in her tracks and gazed at the men steadily, waiting for one of them to speak. She had a feeling that they were here on business, specifically Yvonne's.

At last, one of the older men spoke up. "Our master and mistress have asked to see you." As he said this, he appraised her from head to toe, and there was no mistaking the hostility and contempt in his eyes.

Vania raised a brow when she heard this. Oh, so her parents have decided to get involved. "Very well," she said casually. "Lead the way."
