Chapter 555
Vania tried to stifle her laugh. "Yes, you do need a bit more of a start-up capital, or otherwise, wouldn't it be my
fault if you can't find a wife?"
Hanson snickered. He wrapped his arm around Vania and said, "If he can't find someone, it's all on him. It has
nothing to do with his allowance."
They shared a laugh together the way husbands and wives often did.
"You and your biting tongue," Thomas huffed in dissatisfaction. "Vania, don't listen to him. It's always better to have
start-up capital."
Since he could not make Hanson call him the boss, he should at least get some benefit out of being the
subordinate.
Right then, Bryan cut in and asked, "Vania, it's our first time meeting too. Do I get something as well?"
His family kept a close eye on his spending and would freeze his allowance if he was careless with his money.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"How very adult of you." Hanson glared at him.
Bryan flashed him a mischievous grin. Despite being the son of a wealthy family, he did not have much to spend.
Vania was generous enough to take a card out of her purse and slide it over to him. "This is a VIP card for my
company. You can go ahead and use it."
Galaxy Corporation invested in quite a few restaurants in Hammond. They were all prominent restaurants that kept
a low profile and offered private dining.
The card that Vania gave him could be used in all these restaurants, and the holder could eat free of charge.
Bryan cupped it in his hands as if he had just received a piece of treasure. "Hehe. You're the best, Vania! I shall be
your follower from now on."
He did not have to worry about his family cutting off his allowance anymore.
"I'll keep the card on your behalf." Liam stuck his hand out.
"No, thank you!" Bryan avoided Liam's hand at once.
"Hahaha." The others laughed once more.
Vania's smile caught Liam's eyes yet again.
He could not stop himself from noticing her captivating smile. It looked just like what he remembered his older
sister's smile to be like.
"Can I call you Vanie?" Liam asked abruptly. He took a liking to Vania for some reason.
It was merely a platonic sort of liking as if she were family.
However, Vania froze for a moment when she heard the nickname. Her smile stiffened slightly. "Oh. Sure."
She responded a little slowly because apart from her mother, no one had ever called her Vanie before, and her
mother had passed away many years ago.
Hearing the nickname Vanie made Vania recall the time when her mother was still around. She became a little
flustered and reacted a little unnaturally.
Hanson reached out to hold her hand. When he caught her eye again, she was back to normal.
"On the way here, Thomas told me about how you run your own company and wear many hats in different sectors
too. You're very accomplished."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiam was generous with his compliments. He had a lot of regard for her, and he recalled that his older sister was
also a strong-headed woman.
"I dabble in investments myself. We should find a time to have a chat later on."
Liam extended an invite to Vania.
"It would be my honor to learn from you, Liam," Vania replied humbly.
Liam continued to strike a conversation with Vania. The more he spoke to her, the fonder he grew of her.
In his family, he was the youngest of his generation and it was his older sister who took care of him the most. Later
on, she left the family for some reason, and they never heard from her ever again.
After so many years, the family was still trying to find his older sister's whereabouts, but they had not found any
signs of her.
Right now, as Liam thought about his sister, he began to treat Vania as if she were part of the family.
The more Liam approached Vania, the more wary Hanson became. He tightened his grip on her hand.
As for Yvonne, she was beside herself with fury as she said to Liam in a huff, "Liam, we haven't seen each other in
so long. Why aren't you checking in to see if I've been well?"
