Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 958

Every once in a while, Benjamin would refresh the news website for fear that he would miss any news about Yvonne.

"What the—" As soon as he read the news, his hand trembled in shock, and his phone fell to the floor.

Jasmine immediately picked up the phone and read the website's content while asking, "What's going on? Why do you look so nervous? Did something happen to Yvonne?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Then, she shrieked and smashed the phone against the floor. "No! No way! I don't believe it. Yvonne wouldn't do such nasty things!" She began to wail.

Thomas was not with him, so Benjamin was the only one forced to listen to her wailing, but even he had accepted the fact after suffering successive blows. He no longer doted on Yvonne with reckless abandon as before. "What a hopeless girl! I feel she will not stop until she drives our family to ruins!"

Now, the stock of Kepler Properties kept plummeting as the evidence stacked against Yvonne.

"Ask Thomas to come home now!" Benjamin paced back and forth in the living room nervously. Too many things had happened recently, and he felt suffocated.

"Why?!" Jasmine bawled in despair. "What's the point of asking him to return now? Someone is trying to defame our girl! I have to go to Vania now. It's all her fault!"

Even then, Jasmine refused to accept that Yvonne had done all those horrible things unprovoked, and she even tried to push all the blame onto Vania.

"Shut up!" Benjamin rarely raised his voice at Jasmine, but now, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer. "Yvonne did all these things of her own accord. If you even try to make things difficult for Vania right now, then leave with Yvonne! Both of you are not allowed to return ever again!"

He finally understood Thomas' words now. It was his mistake as a father for not stopping Yvonne before it was too late. She would only be more miserable if they went to Vania now.

Benjamin was on the precipice of fury at the moment; he was so enraged that he simply roared whatever was on his mind. Although he implied that he would chase the mother and daughter duo out, he didn't mean it.

On the other hand, Jasmine was dumbstruck by his words. She opened her mouth and wanted to refute him, but no comments fell from her lips. Eventually, she silenced herself, held back her tears, and forced out the worse. "What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? We don't even know where Yvonne is." Benjamin sighed. They had searched for her for so many days, but they didn't know where she was.

"Will Yvonne be charged and punished?" Jasmine asked relentlessly.

He felt his head throbbing in pain when he saw that she was still refusing to see reason. "Just stop talking." The prosecutor could file a case for every single thing that Yvonne did. At this point, he was not in the mood to answer any questions about his wayward daughter.

Jasmine lowered her head and sobbed silently.

Meanwhile, Thomas was in his apartment, expressionlessly reading the news online.

He felt apathetic when he saw all those things pointing at Yvonne as the mastermind behind it all. He had predicted that something like this would happen sooner or later.

When he saw his parents' text, he knew they wanted him to go home and discuss this matter. What was there to discuss anyway? They had to go through legal procedures. This was officially out of their hands.

Despite how unwilling and weary he felt, he still dragged himself out of his safe zone and returned to his parent's house.

"What took you so long?!" The moment Jasmine saw Thomas' arrival, she instinctively berated him as tears began to fall again.

"Mom, you know that the outcome would be the same no matter when I come home," Thomas said in resignation.

"What? Don't you care about your sister anymore?" Jasmine was befuddled by Thomas' and Benjamin's response, or their lack of support.

"Mom, I've already tried to explain everything to you. Now that things are already such a mess, I don't think there's anything left for me to say." Thomas shook his head dejectedly. "I'll contact my friends at the police station. I'll make sure that Yvonne is taken care of. That's all I can do. I'd say I'm sorry, but I've warned you time and time again but none of you took me seriously. So, this is the cards we've been dealt with, that's it."
