Chapter 631

Thomas was admittedly taken aback by how composed and ruthless Vania was, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.

Vania waited patiently for him to respond. She knew that it would take a while for him to process the information, and while allowing him to gather his thoughts, she sipped her coffee quietly. However, Thomas did not say anything even after she had finished her coffee.

Subsequently, she set her cup down and said coolly, "I don't think you get the final say in this, so why don't you take this back and sleep on it? The details of the plan are all there, and you don't have to give me an answer immediately." She handed him a set of documents that contained the entire strategy she had come up with.

The plan centered on the incident where Eddie dropped by the police station to visit Yvonne in her holding cell. Vania was attempting to kill two birds with one stone by framing Eddie as the mastermind for the entire thing, and at the same time, exposing the crimes he had committed against Hanson. She would then reveal the truth about Luke Corporation and completely destroy Eddie's reputation before he had the chance to spin a narrative in his own favor.

All the Keplers needed to do was to sign over their secret base to Vania, and she would readily paint Yvonne as a victim of Eddie's plans.

This way, all the loose ends would be tied up nicely.

Presently, Thomas snapped out of his reverie and flipped through the details of the plan Vania had handed him. He couldn't believe that she was the one who had thought up such an intricate and foolproof strategy. Taking a deep breath, he said, "I'll think about it."

At this point, he had caught on to the fact that Vania could not possibly have come up with just this one plan. He had a feeling that this was just an alternative to the plan she had for Yvonne, which would undoubtedly be more ruthless than this one.

Little did he know that he was reading too much into this, for Vania truly only made one plan. She was merely gambling on the probability that the Keplers would agree to it.

"Great, then I'll be the one waiting for your call this time," she said with a smile, then rose to leave the restaurant.

Back at the Keplers' house, Benjamin was furious after Thomas told him of Vania's request. In a fit of rage, he hurled his teacup onto the ground and gritted his teeth. "The audacity of her!" Smoke was coming out of his ears, and he was so overcome with anger that he trembled. "I will never agree to it!"

Vania was planning to gain control of the Kepler Family, and Benjamin could never allow that to happen.

Sighing, Thomas pointed out grimly, "If we don't agree to it, then Yvonne will be punished."

Benjamin thought he might combust on the spot. "I refuse to believe that Vania is a match for our family." Even if Hanson were to back her up and help her defeat the Keplers, she would still sustain quite the loss.

Thomas countered worriedly, "But if the Joneses were to help her out, then we won't stand a chance."

This made Benjamin hesitate. "How sure are you that the Joneses will get involved?"

"Bryan and Liam trust Vania implicitly, and even Old Mr. Jones dotes on her. We can't afford to overlook this fact," Thomas explained, laying out his analysis for his father.

"That despicable, shameless little-" Benjamin smashed yet another one of his teacups. He felt helpless as if someone had pressed a sharp blade against his throat. Furthermore, he was frustrated for underestimating someone like Vania. Seething with rage, he said, "Call Vania right now and tell her I will not agree to her terms!" He would like to see what she would make of that.

"Are you sure you don't want to think about it?" Thomas asked hesitantly. He didn't think it was wise for them to make such a careless move right now.

"What is there to think about? Call her right now!" Benjamin roared, feeling faint from all the blood that was rushing to his head.

Left without a choice, Thomas did as he was told and called Vania, but before he could say anything, she said, "Don't give me an answer just yet. I seem to have a sudden inspiration. I believe that the Keplers' secret base in Oswell Bay is more valuable, am I right?"
