Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 156
After the police had left, the middle-aged man immediately changed his demeanor. He stood with his hands on his hips and arrogantly declared, "I don't care who owns this house. I signed the contract and paid three months' rent. I'm not going to move out before the tenancy expires!"He then slammed the door shut with no intention of discussing a resolution with Larissa. Later, Larissa called and explained the situation to the real estate agent and entrusted Dylan to send a lawyer's letter to Janine. She learned that Andrew had temporarily suspended his studies and returned to his hometown with his parents. He'd paid off his debts and hired someone to renovate a new house using the one million dollars given by Yvette. However, despite having enough money, they still greedily held onto the rent of over ten thousand dollars."People are never satisfied. They're just greedy!" Dylan twirled his pen and chuckled. "After all, who would complain about having too much money in this world?"Laris
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 157
After Larissa exchanged pleasantries with Zero's agent and assistant, she handed out snacks to each of them and asked cautiously, "Am I interrupting something?""Well, I'm not starting my livestream until 7 pm, so I'm not working yet. How could you be interrupting me?" Zero teasingly smiled as she opened a bag of chips."Well, I noticed you guys seemed to be discussing something serious earlier." That was why Larissa wasn't entirely sure if she had interrupted them."Not at all!" Zero's agent, Raina, waved her hands repeatedly. "Actually, we were gossiping."Maggie, Zero's assistant, chimed in. "Yeah, whenever we need to gossip about something, we pretend to be having a meeting."Larissa was rendered speechless. She felt like she couldn't keep up with the way young people thought nowadays. "What were you discussing, then?" she casually asked."There's a new agent, who recently joined StreamWave Studios. She seems to have a strong background. The two small anchors she manages only have

At Zero's request, Larissa stayed behind to wait for Zero to finish her livestream so they could all go for supper together. During Zero's livestream, Larissa opened the StreamWave Studios TV app on her phone and clicked on Zero's livestream. She then gifted Zero with gifts worth a thousand dollars.Almost immediately, Larissa's username appeared at the top of the phone screen in the app system notification. "Big Spender @Zero'sDaBest gifted the anchor @Zero a luxury sports car ×1!"Raina and Maggie applauded enthusiastically when they saw Larissa's username showing up, saying, "Thank you, goddess! You're the mighty goddess!"Larissa felt a bit embarrassed and asked, "Is this a new feature? I don't think it had these features before when I gifted Zero before."Raina explained, "This 'World News Broadcast' feature was introduced just over a month ago. Believe it or not, since then, there have been many more people competing to gift the anchors every day. I reckon my commission this mont
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 159
There were two skinny boys standing beside Lana, both wearing branded hoodies and jeans with meticulously groomed hair. However, their naturally slouched postures and carefree laughter exuded a familiar "loser" vibe that Larissa was accustomed to, which contrasted with her impression of a sloppy homebody live streamer.Raina immediately pulled Zero, saying, "Let's leave later." But it was already too late."Isn't that Bro Zero?" One of the boys waved at Zero. His expression was filled with arrogance and was devoid of politeness. "Sorry, Bro Zero, Dark Knight and I beat you down to third place on the gift board today. I hope you're not mad at us."Raina and Maggie were displeased with the boy's manner of speaking, and even Larissa furrowed her brows upon hearing his words.However, Zero remained indifferent. "No, you deserved it."BestM had hoped that his taunt would enrage Zero. But since nothing happened, he could only clench his teeth in frustration. Dark Knight, standing next to Bes

Larissa had a tough time convincing Zero that she was truly fine. However, her mind kept drifting off during supper, consumed by thoughts of Kevan and Lana. Finally, the seemingly endless supper came to an end, and she returned to Foxtail Garden, only to find two individuals standing downstairs near where Kevan usually parked. Once she got nearer, she found that the individuals were none other than the two people, who had occupied her thoughts all night. They appeared to be engaged in conversation but maintained half a car's length between them. This distance showed a lack of an intimate vibe.As such, Larissa was confused about the true nature of their relationship. However, she did not want to interrupt, so she made a turn, intending to park her car in the underground parking lot. The entrance to the underground parking lot at Foxtail Garden was a bit far from their building. Although Dylan had mentioned reserving a parking spot for her, she found it rather bothersome. Generally, s

To her surprise, she couldn't sniff a waft of Lana's perfume.Lana loved spraying a generous amount of perfume on herself, making it so strong that it could be smelled from several yards away. When she stayed at Larissa's house, Larissa's clothes had been infused with the scent of her perfume, and every day she would receive questions about what perfume she was wearing.If Kevan had driven Lana back, he would have been tainted with her perfume as they would have spent a long time together in the confined space of a car."You two have such a good relationship. I'm jealous!" Looking at their embrace, Lana's smile stiffened."You have a good relationship with Mr. Hermes too, Miss Seymour." Despite Kevan's polite tone, his answer seemed insincere. Lana forced herself to smile at his perfunctory response."Have you made up with Lucas?" Larissa asked as the thought came into her mind.After hesitating for a moment, Lana answered, "Not exactly. It's all one-sided. He's been pestering

Like a deer caught in headlights, Lana stared at him silently, eyes wide. The tears in her eyes failed to fall. When the elevator reached the 19th floor, Kevan led Larissa out of it, not sparing a glance at Lana."Thank you," Larissa said.His words conveyed her true feelings. However, she could never bring herself to say them. The experiences she had as a child made her understand that nobody was obligated to treat her well, not even family or friends. Hence, she never could condemn or throw a tantrum like Lana had just done. Although the thought did cross her mind from time to time, all she could do was feel sad about it."Even your sister is willing to cook a meal to thank me, but all you can do is say thank you?" Kevan had already let go of her. At the moment, he was leaning against her apartment door as he looked at her, eyebrows raised in displeasure."Well … should I cook a meal for you?"Kevan scoffed. "A meal won't be enough.""Huh?""From now on, I'll drive you to th
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 163
Larissa had previously suspected that Kevan was behind what had happened to Karin, but she'd never had the chance to confirm it. Now that he openly admitted it, she couldn't help feeling anxious for Lana.She didn't like Lana and didn't want anything to do with her, but she couldn't let Lana get into trouble in Covenford. Otherwise, Yvette would cause Larissa some trouble."I'll do as you say," Larissa said."Good." Satisfied, Kevan let go of her. Standing upright, he resumed an indifferent, aloof expression.Turning his back to Larissa, he returned to the elevator. "Wait for me downstairs at 8 am tomorrow."Larissa's work began at 9 am, and she usually left at 8:30 am, which gave her enough time to reach the hotel, clock in, and have breakfast. To accommodate Kevan's schedule, she had to wake up half an hour earlier.However, when she arrived downstairs, she didn't see Kevan. Instead, she saw Lana.Last night, she'd sent Larissa a long string of voice messages apologizing aft
