Chapter 155 Hatching a Plan

Jude nodded again.

Vania smiled and turned to Jacob, who had been silent all this while. She asked, “What’s wrong? You used to be so talkative, so why are you so quiet today?”

Jacob grasped his phone and said, “Mommy, I just feel like eating some desserts.”

Just now, Jacob had sent a message to Hanson, telling him that Mommy was home. However, it was also true that Jacob was thinking of desserts as well.

Jacob always looked so cute and innocent.

At the mention of desserts, Vania believed him right away. “Why don’t we make some today?”

“Sure.”

James, Jack, and Jacob answered in unison. Even though they didn’t like making desserts, they still loved doing these activities with Mommy.

Jude was curious as well, and he nodded on his own accord.

“Well, let’s begin.”

The brothers were very tolerant during the dessert-making session. They would let Jude try his hand first, then take on the rest of the work.

Soon, the desserts were ready with the combined efforts of mother and sons. Jacob took pictures of the exquisite treats.

…

“Ah—”

When Melanie saw the contents on the phone, she smashed the vase in her room once again.

Diamonds worth more than a hundred million was a shocking scene none had seen before. No one in the city or the entire country could send gifts on that scale, save for Hanson alone.

Even though many people could fork out a hundred million, no one would use all that money on diamonds as a gift.

Hanson had a private diamond resource, so even though it was an impossible deed for others, it wasn’t a big deal to him.

Hanson actually arranged such a grand scene just to give Vania diamonds?

Have they progressed to this stage already?

Melanie hated it all.

When she heard the sound of something breaking, Josie hastily ran into the room.

She gave Melanie a light slap as she whispered anxiously, “Don’t you know that your dad is still here? Why did you break the vase?”

Melanie was furious. “Haven’t you seen the news?”

Josie frowned, then immediately turned on her phone and began looking through its contents.

After a while, she spoke in utter shock. “You’re suspecting that Hanson’s the one who did it?”

“Who else? Also, I received news from Eastland that Vania has already taken the child.”

Melanie gnashed her teeth. “A bunch of useless fools.”

Josie also had a vicious look in her eyes. “Now, your dad is still mad at you because of company matters. You’d better not do anything to provoke him further.”

“What can I possibly do?” George had already sent orders that Melanie was not allowed to go anywhere as long as Greyson Realty hadn’t received its due in funds.

“No, let me finish.” Josie tried to calm the furious Melanie. “It doesn’t matter if Vania has taken the child. I have a way of getting back at her. We’ll make her realize that even if she has the child, not everything can proceed as she has hoped.”

Melanie was extremely obedient when it came to Josie’s words. After all, Josie was the final winner in the fight against Vania’s mother. Winners always had valuable advice. Melanie asked in concern, “In that case, what about Hanson?”

“Just leave him be for now. We’ll come up with another way when Morales and Morgan return. You’ll have nothing to worry about after you defeat Vania.”

Melanie nodded. “Okay, I’ll do everything you say.”

The next day, Bella arrived at the training venue early and waited for the tutor so that lessons could begin.

Her assistant Julia came over to her and conveyed Vania’s message.

Bella accepted it courteously. “Okay, I’ll do my best.”

Julia nodded. “If anything happens, we can communicate in real-time. I’ll get back to work now.”
