Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053 Not a Single Attempt Has Succeeded

Yvonne, who had been focusing on Vania and Hanson's news, could no longer tolerate the two's overwhelming popularity.

She couldn't just sit around and do nothing.

Eddie had been inactive lately, and she voiced her dissatisfaction. "How are you enjoying it? You've been just spectating."

Eddie calmly sipped his coffee and replied, "Miss Kepler, your words are profound as always. I find it increasingly hard to understand. Please, speak directly so that we can understand each other more easily."

"Ha." Yvonne let out a cold laugh. "Didn't you always claim to want to take away everything from Hanson? So why aren't you taking action now? Are you scared?"

"Oh. You're taunting me, aren't you?" Eddie smiled insincerely at her. "Miss Kepler, you've been quite active lately, leaving me no opportunity to make a move.

"I'm worried that if I take action, it might interfere with your plans. That won't be good."

With a puzzled look, he then continued, "Speaking of that, Miss Kepler, how come you've sent so many people, and still, not a single attempt has succeeded?"

Actually, he knew the answer. He was just mocking Yvonne.

Facing his mockery, Yvonne retorted, "Whether I succeed or not is my business.

"You, on the other hand, haven't even made a move. So, there's no success to speak of, right?"

"Who said I haven't made a move?" Eddie countered.

Yvonne was caught off guard, as she wasn't sure.

Nonetheless, she continued to express her dissatisfaction. "Anyone can talk. What matters most is to take action."

"I prefer to play the long game and wait for the right moment. I believe that soon, you'll see the results," Eddie calmly explained.

However, Yvonne just coldly snorted. "Soon? When is soon? Do we have to wait for another five years?"

Saying that, she even smirked sarcastically at him. "Just don't end up creating another happy union by then."

She was mocking Eddie for using means but still failing to defeat Hanson. In fact, he even gifted Hanson with seven sons and Vania.

While Hanson was living a happy life now, Eddie had to keep hiding.

Eddie's composure was well-trained in the presence of Yvonne.

He could remain calm no matter what she said.

Lightly, he responded, "A gentleman's actions speak for themselves. Besides, doing a good deed is also a merit." Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"A good deed? Hahaha. They don't seem to appreciate your kindness though."

"Our actions are being watched. Karma always comes back. What's the rush?" Eddie even started lecturing Yvonne on the principles of life.

Yvvone wasn't convinced, as she believed that he wasn't in a hurry because he must be afraid of retribution. After all, what they did was immoral.

Her expression turned cold. She decided not to engage in a battle of attrition with him.

With a warning tone, she said, "I came to tell you that I'll give you one more chance to deal with Bryan and Vania.

"If you fail again, our cooperation ends here."

Now that she had Benjamin's support, she didn't have to rely on Eddie anymore.

Whenever she wanted to leave, Benjamin would surely arrange it for her.

Eddie saw through what she was thinking and asked, "Miss Kepler, are you so certain that you can leave?"

When Yvonne heard him questioning her family's power, her face darkened immediately. "What do you mean? Are you looking down on my family?"

"Not at all." Eddie remained composed as he spoke. "I'm just reminding you.

"If your father truly has the ability to help you resolve all this, you wouldn't have needed to come to me in the first place.

"Since you're still stuck here, it means that there's no way out for you."

With disdain, he added, "Besides, when you do manage to get out, it's a different story whether your father can find you a place to stay."
