Chapter 835
"Uncle Liam told me you were injured. Are you feeling better?"
It was only then that Vania retracted her hostile gaze and nodded. "Yes, of course. My daughter's a miracle doctor,
after all." She couldn't hide her pride at the mention of Lily.
Bryan vowed that he was going to have a daughter just as bright as Lily in the future. However, he had other
motives at the moment. "Uncle Liam also told me that he's collaborating on a jade business with you," he said.
He had never been particularly interested in corporate partnerships, but he suddenly remembered something and
thought to ask.
It was not a trade secret Vania was trying to hide, so she replied casually, "Yes. Your uncle's supplying the jade, and
I'll be in charge of designing the jewelry. It's a marketing collaboration."
This was what Bryan had been wanting to find out. He leaned forward and said sweetly, "Think you could pick out a

Jennifer was stunned to hear that he was planning on giving her a present. She didn't remember him bringing this
up to her at all. More importantly, she had never been able to afford Mia's jewelry before she met Vania. She might
be the queen of the silver screen, but there were still some luxuries she could not indulge in.
Vania chuckled wickedly. "How are you going to pay for my collection when you can't even buy me a meal?"
"Didn't I just tell you to order whatever you like?" Bryan was putting on airs once more. "Go on, order more! I don't
care even if I go broke at the end of the day."
"And how will you buy earrings for your lover if you're broke?" Vania shot a playful look at Jennifer as she said this.
Jennifer blushed upon being teased.
At the sight of this, Bryan pulled Jennifer into his arms protectively and said, "Hey, leave her alone. You're
embarrassing her."
Vania raised a brow. Rubbing their relationship in my face, I see. Jealousy filled her for some reason, and she said
out of spite, "Oh, so I can design jewelry for her but I can't tease her about it? That's not fair." I'm going to do the
same thing to you guys when I have my husband with me!
Bryan couldn't help rolling his eyes at the display of hypocrisy. If anything, Vania and Hanson had public displays of
affection more often than any other couple he had met.
"Fine, you can say whatever you want," he said, knowing that he was on the losing side now that his pocket money
had been so mercilessly cut off.
"Good lad," Vania remarked softly when she saw that he was willing to swallow his pride. "Swing by the company
and take your pick when the ready-to-wear pieces are out." It was only a pair of earrings; it wouldn't cost her much
at all, seeing as she was the designer and the raw materials were supplied in-house.
"Thank you in advance!" He grinned, looking as though he had just struck the lottery. If he were to wait until the
collection hit the market, he would be paying an astronomical price for the earrings.
"There's no need for formalities," she said. When she saw that they were close to finishing the food, she picked up

Bryan's eyes widened. Is she still hungry? She just ate all this food! As it turned out, he had underestimated just how
much of a glutton the woman could be.
Vania looked through the menu and slid her finger down the row of desserts, then said to the waiter, "I'll take one of
each to go. My sons love sweets."
"Are you seriously going to rip me off like this, Vania?" Bryan put a hand to his chest as though his heart were
bleeding. It's bad enough that I have to pay for her meal, but now I have to foot the bill for her takeout, too? That's
robbery!
Vania nodded and said smugly, "I bet the kids will be happy to know that you bought them the dessert, and they'll
probably sing praises of you in front of your grandfather the next time they see him. But if you won't even buy
them dessert, then I can't promise what they'll say to him." Pleased with herself, she went on to order several more
dessert items.
This is blackmailing at its finest!
