Chapter 665

"What a cunning man," Thomas growled furiously, but he did not blame his men.

If Eddie were that easy to catch, Hanson would not have allowed things to drag on till now.

However, now that he failed to capture Eddie, what could he do about Yvonne?

Out of ideas, Thomas had no choice but to approach Hanson.

When Hanson saw the person who showed up all of a sudden, flames of fury flickered in his eyes.

Originally, Hanson thought that he would be able to make use of today's incident and replace Eddie. He assumed that his men would surely be able to capture him, or even if they failed, they would not let the cat out of the bag. However, all of his perfectly laid out plans were ruined by Thomas.

"Hanson," Thomas mumbled weakly. He found out about Eddie sending someone to poison the lunch box and realized that his actions had thrown a wrench into Hanson's plan. Therefore, he was very sincere as he apologized, "I'm sorry."

Thomas did not know what else he could say now, apart from giving an apology.

"Did you come here just to apologize?" Hanson looked at him.

"Not entirely." What Thomas cared about the most was helping his sister.

"Are you so determined to make sure that Yvonne gets out unscathed? Isn't it a good thing for her to learn her lesson for behaving so recklessly?" Hanson's icy tone was laced with fury.

Thomas' tone was no better as he replied, "If it was Vania who was inside there right now, you wouldn't be talking like that."

Yvonne was his sister. No one in the Kepler Family wanted to see her come to any harm.

"My wife would never do such a stupid thing," Hanson retorted mockingly. "You don't need to waste your energy on this anymore. I've already given the word to the police to handle it. You can go and get her out of prison now."

Luke Corporation's legal department handled the case, and they had shown the Kepler Family enough respect by not keeping Yvonne in prison forever.

"What are your terms?" Thomas asked. There was no way Yvonne would be let out of prison quite so easily.

"A public apology across all media platforms." Hanson's tone was firm and left no room for discussion.

This was a given, so Thomas nodded. "What else?"

"I don't wish to see her in Hillsworth ever again." This time, Hanson's tone was full of disdain. He refused to keep someone like her in the country. Who knew if that might lead to disaster in the future?

"You're so heartless." Thomas sighed.

Sending her abroad for good was the same as saying he never wanted to have anything to do with her ever again.

"My heart is reserved for my wife, and my wife alone," Hanson spelled it out clearly. "Luke Corporation will also be cutting off all investments in Kepler Properties."

There was no need for him to plan in advance. He could cut off the investments in the blink of an eye.

This would not affect Hanson in any way since he had already garnered a huge profit off the Keplers earlier on. It covered all the money that had gone out thus far.

However, the same could not be said for the Keplers. They would be fine if just one of the investments was cut off, but it would be hard for them to deal with having all the investments gone.

"Can't you reconsider this? No matter how you look at it, nothing bad will come out of our companies' cooperation." Thomas wanted to try and salvage things. "I'll agree to all your previous terms, but I sincerely hope you can reconsider cutting off the investments."

The Keplers had suffered great losses after losing their secret bases. If Hanson withdrew his investments now, the Joneses would do so as well.

While he could somewhat handle having one family against them, if both families went against them, it would very likely spell doom for the Keplers.

"The finance department is already preparing the report." Hanson's meaning was clear. He was informing Thomas, not negotiating with him.
