Chapter 628

While calling for Hanson, Bryan then said to Jennifer, "Come sit beside me. Let Hanson sit beside Vania."

Jennifer's mouth twitched. Why must I sit beside you? However, after seeing Hanson's cold expression, she silently moved to sit beside Bryan, albeit far away from him, as though she had a grudge against him.

As Hanson took a seat next to Vania, his mood immediately became better.

Vania knew Hanson had an important meeting tonight, so she'd thought he would arrive a little later. Hence, she was all smiles when he came so soon. "Why are you sweating so much? Did you run here?"

Because you were smiling at some other man, Hanson thought, but said otherwise. "The weather's a little hot today."

Larry shivered a little, his shoulders trembling, upon hearing Hanson's words as he saw just how natural Hanson was in lying through his teeth. The atmosphere back in the car was as cold as a winter's night even when the heater was on, though, he thought to himself. Alas, he knew he must never voice such an opinion lest his president came after him.

As Hanson had been staring at Thomas, the latter started to feel awkward, as though he was caught looking at something someone else fancied.

Then, Hanson deliberately asked, "Why are you here?" He wrapped his arm around Vania, as though he was declaring his place by her side.

Smiling stiffly, Thomas replied, "I came to ask Vania if she was done thinking things over. Since it was dinner time as well, I invited everyone to have a meal together."

"She'd naturally replace you if she's done thinking about it. You needn't come rushing to her like this. Haven't you seen the news online? It's bad publicity for you." Although Hanson's expression was relaxed, one could hear the jealousy laced in his tone.

All at once, Thomas' expression grew stiffer.

Vania, however, immediately took her phone out and searched online to replace her name trending. Late-night mystery man? The media is getting bolder these days, she thought. Then, she leaned on Hanson's shoulder and, like a spoiled child asking her parents for a treat, said, "It's all fake news by these unsavory media. Darling, please deal with this mess."

"It's already taken care of." Since Hanson did not even want to see a word of the articles, he had pulled out the big guns to deal with them. That included bankrupting certain companies, and making certain things disappear. The bottom line was none of them could stay.

Satisfied with her husband's approach, Vania casually kissed Hanson on his cheek. "My darling is the best."

Hanson was the weakest when his wife was like this. His body immediately tensed as he stared straight into Vania's eyes with the wish of wanting to do more.

However, Bryan cleared his throat to interrupt the two lovebirds. "Please spare us. We won't be able to have our meal if you two continue this."

Vania then moved the dishes to the front of Bryan. "Fine, you better start eating then." Then, she took her phone out and recorded a short video. Although her husband had dealt with the media, she, as the person involved, needed to make a stance as well. And that was what she did by posting the video on Twitter with the caption: 'No need to exaggerate things. My husband is still around.'

Since the netizens had always believed Vania, the video she posted was very well received online.

'This is the right way to fight back against those unsavory media outlets.'

'That being said, the male lead looks so handsome.'

'Jennifer's here as well. She's so pretty even without makeup.'

'This is like a bunch of models having a gathering.'

Immediately after that, Luke Corporation's account posted a tweet with the caption: 'Explanation given in the picture.' The content of the picture was a statement that the company would file lawsuits against those unsavory reporters.
