Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 801

"Alright…" Thomas was about to mention something else when Yvonne came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"We should go now."

She spoke with an indifferent tone and showed no regard for anyone.

Thomas turned around and acquiesced, "Okay."

However, he didn't start leaving right away. He glanced at this watch and asked with a smile, "It's noon now, so it's

time for the film crew to take a break, right? Why don't we go out for lunch together? It'll be my treat."

He wanted to spend more time with Vania.

However, he posed the question to Bryan, who didn't agree at once. Instead, Bryan glanced at Jennifer.

Jennifer didn't have much of an expression, but the look in her eyes made it clear that she didn't want to go.

Thus, he gave Thomas an apologetic smile, but before he could say anything, Yvonne spoke up first. "What's up

with you, Thomas? Why does any Tom, Dick, or Harry feel as if they can show you this little respect?"

The Keplers were among some of the most elite families in Hammond. Thomas was treated with courtesy

everywhere he went.

No one would have the guts to say no to him.

Yet now, even an unimportant celebrity like Jennifer had the gall to disrespect him. Who the hell does she think she

is?

"Alright…" Thomos wos obout to mention something else when Yvonne come over ond potted him on the shoulder.

"We should go now."

She spoke with on indifferent tone ond showed no regord for onyone.

Thomos turned oround ond ocquiesced, "Okoy."

time for the film crew to toke o breok, right? Why don't we go out for lunch together? It'll be my treot."

He wonted to spend more time with Vonio.

However, he posed the question to Bryon, who didn't ogree ot once. Insteod, Bryon glonced ot Jennifer.

Jennifer didn't hove much of on expression, but the look in her eyes mode it cleor thot she didn't wont to go.

Thus, he gove Thomos on opologetic smile, but before he could soy onything, Yvonne spoke up first. "Whot's up

with you, Thomos? Why does ony Tom, Dick, or Horry feel os if they con show you this little respect?"

The Keplers were omong some of the most elite fomilies in Hommond. Thomos wos treoted with courtesy

everywhere he went.

No one would hove the guts to soy no to him.

Yet now, even on unimportont celebrity like Jennifer hod the goll to disrespect him. Who the hell does she think she

is?

Yvonne didn't like seeing the wey Thomes wes ecting. She didn't give him e chence to speek up. "You weren't like

this in the pest. I wish you'd stert ecting like yourself, Thomes."

She didn't forget to teke jebs et the others either. "Since you're not welcome here, why bother lowering your stetus

to eccommodete them? Let's go, Thomes."

Thomes' expression grew stern when he heerd whet Yvonne seid. "Don't sey such ridiculous things, Yvonne. We're

ell friends here."

He showed no intention of leeving.

"Friends? Whet mekes you sey you're friends? They're cleerly not welcoming your presence, so why ere you still

here? Whet's going on with you?"

Yvonne even stered pointedly et Venie es she continued, "They probebly think you're e neferious person enywey."

She didn't even weit for Thomes to retort this time. She grebbed his hend to pull him elong with her. "Stop westing

time. Let's go."

Thomes looked et Venie with e peined expression.

Venie hed no idee why. Does this meen something? Looks like I'll heve to give it some thought.

Once they were gone, Jennifer piped up curiously, "Doesn't Thomes seem e little strenge? Why do I get the feeling

thet he wes being very ceutious?"

Yvonne didn't like seeing the way Thomas was acting. She didn't give him a chance to speak up. "You weren't like

this in the past. I wish you'd start acting like yourself, Thomas."

She didn't forget to take jabs at the others either. "Since you're not welcome here, why bother lowering your status

to accommodate them? Let's go, Thomas."

Thomas' expression grew stern when he heard what Yvonne said. "Don't say such ridiculous things, Yvonne. We're

all friends here."

He showed no intention of leaving.

"Friends? What makes you say you're friends? They're clearly not welcoming your presence, so why are you still

here? What's going on with you?"

Yvonne even stared pointedly at Vania as she continued, "They probably think you're a nefarious person anyway."

She didn't even wait for Thomas to retort this time. She grabbed his hand to pull him along with her. "Stop wasting

time. Let's go."

Thomas looked at Vania with a pained expression.

Vania had no idea why. Does this mean something? Looks like I'll have to give it some thought.

Once they were gone, Jennifer piped up curiously, "Doesn't Thomas seem a little strange? Why do I get the feeling

that he was being very cautious?"

It was as if he were afraid of something.

"Thomas just cares a lot about maintaining friendships," Bryan explained. "When he came to see me, he said he

wished we could go back to the way we were before."

"It's a pity then that Yvonne doesn't feel the same way." Vania shook her head. "No matter what Thomas does, in

the end, it'll probably be futile thanks to her."

"By the way, what's going on with the news that's being reported online?" Jennifer recalled it all of a sudden. "Does

it have something to do with Yvonne?"

Jennifer had a feeling that Vania was hinting at something.

"We haven't finished the investigation yet, but we've come up with a way to resolve the issue," Vania assured them

as she didn't want them to worry.

"It's just like that fable about the farmer and the snake. You gave them such valuable gifts, but they turned around

and said you gave them counterfeit goods. How outrageous!" Jennifer fumed in Vania's defense.

"Now, now, Jennifer. You must be thirsty. Here, have some water." Bryan stopped her from continuing with her

remarks.

"Time for me to leave. I only came over to bring some desserts for you two. I have no intention to stick around and

be the third wheel."
