Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 237
Jay went home in a fury."Where's Mr. Reuben?" He asked the household staff, who looked uncomfortable."Mr. Reuben … went out early in the morning and has not yet returned."Jay's rage shot through the roof, and he grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table, hurling it to the floor in a fit of anger. "Call him and get him to come home! NOW!""Yes, sir!" The household staff swiftly vanished, seemingly evaporating into thin air. Hearing the noise, Annabell sashayed downstairs."What's wrong?" She hugged Jay and kissed him on the lips. "Who made you angry again?""Who else!" Even though he had a beauty in his arms, it could not extinguish Jay's flames of anger. "That failure has fucked me up for good!"Annabell was secretly delighted, but she pulled a face of concern. "Don't be angry anymore. What will you do if you've harmed your body this way? Once Reuben comes back, just talk to him nicely. Don't fight again.""The company's already fucked, and you want me to talk to him nic

Annabell replied, "Do tell."…Jay rushed over to Microworks early in the morning with Reuben in tow, but the security guards stopped him."Sorry, sir. But no visitor pass, no entry."Jay did not even know what the hell a visitor pass was. Trying to contain his anger, Jay did his best to speak politely to the guards. "Please inform Mr. Rogers that Jay Cole of Summer Entertainment is here to see him."The guards remained unfazed. "We don't have the clearance to go up to the presidential office. If you want to meet Mr. Rogers, please let him know in person."Having lived to his current age, Jay had never been humiliated this way before, let alone being disregarded by a mere security guard. However, he did not dare to lose his temper while on Microworks' turf.Seeing Reuben playing whatever it was on his phone, Jay's anger boiled over, and he furiously whacked his son on the back of the head.Hurting, Reuben let out a cry of pain. "Dad! What the hell are you doing?""That should

Kevan had just finished a meeting when he found out from his secretary that the Cole father-and-son duo had come to find him.That was within his expectations—as a matter of fact, it was a few days later than he had expected.Right now, all of the most valuable teams in Summer Entertainment had been pilfered by him. Soon, it would turn into a third-rate film company.But this was not enough.What he wanted was for the Cole family to be finished entirely, without any possibility of making a comeback."Should anyone from Summer Entertainment come by again, just get security up and throw them out," Kevan ordered coldly.The secretary acknowledged the order nervously.…When Larissa saw Jay and Dorian checking in at the hotel lobby, she thought she was seeing things.Not daring to let them notice her, she stood quietly in the corner and observed for a while. Once they went upstairs, she ran over to the front desk to confirm what she saw. "Were those two checking in to our hotel?"

It was clear that the Coles' goal was to cause trouble.Taking a deep breath, Larissa understood that if it was a blessing, it would not be a disaster; if it was a disaster, she could not avoid it.…Larissa rang the doorbell, and Dorian opened the door."Yo, Ms. Seymour is here? I thought you'd already clocked out?"Dorian smelled of alcohol, his beady eyes gleaming with lust.Even though she hated him, Larissa could only force out a professional smile due to his current status as a hotel guest. Speaking politely in response to his weird question, she said, "I have indeed clocked out, but our hotel's motto is customer first. Since Mr. Cole insists on seeing me, then I must return."Dorian laughed coldly before suddenly letting out a burp.In a flash, a pungent gust of alcoholic smell wafted over, causing Larissa to frown. As for the assistant behind her, she could not help but cover her mouth and nose with her hand."What, you think it stinks?" Dorian's smile vanished as he g

The only thing Larissa could do was move her head haphazardly to avoid Dorian's disgusting, stinky mouth.The assistant frantically pounded on the door outside, shouting, "Mr. Cole, please open the door! Or else I'll call the police!"But Dorian turned a deaf ear to it. Gripping Larissa's suit jacket, he ripped it, causing the buttons to pop off and scatter onto the floor.He then did the same thing to her shirt, causing irreparable damage to the two garments. The suite's thermostat was on, but Larissa only felt cold, especially when her chest was exposed to the air with Dorian's lewd gaze upon it."Mr. Cole, sexual assault is against the law." She struggled to keep herself calm, but her voice could not help but tremble. "If you stop now, I can pretend nothing has happened and will not hold you accountable.""What assault?" Dorian was dismissive. He even retorted unapologetically, "You're my future wife. How is this considered sexual assault?""I am married, Mr. Cole!" Larissa

As long as there was enough time, her assistant would bring someone over to save her. Fortunately, her assistant did not disappoint her. Not more than a few minutes later, she heard the assistant shouting again, "Ms. Seymour, are you in there?"This time, the assistant was pounding on the bedroom door."I'm here!" Larissa replied loudly.The arrival of "reinforcements" caused Dorian to panic. He finally gave up on waiting around and decided to take the offensive. However, before he reached Larissa, she used the bed and rushed to the other side of the room, succeeding in opening the bedroom door before he could get to her.The people outside swarmed in.The assistant hugged a disheveled Larissa, crying as she asked, "Ms. Seymour, are you okay?"Larissa shook her head. Seeing Dorian hurrying over in his attempt to catch her, Larissa hastened her pace and left the bedroom.The hotel security guards blocked Dorian's path with their tall and strong bodies."Sir, please remain in thi

"My apologies, Mr. Cole." Larissa's attitude was equally just as firm. "I'm afraid you will not be able to give me the compensation that I want."Suppose Dorian was acting irrationally under the influence of alcohol. In that case, she might have chosen to compromise for the hotel's sake. After all, Summer Entertainment had collaborated with Regal Dynasty multiple times. If their production was filmed in Covenford, they would typically choose Regal Dynasty as the base for the entire production crew.But she noticed a micro camera in Dorian's room. It was placed on the TV stand, facing the bed. The camera was tiny, resembling a regular USB drive. If Larissa hadn't worked in the hotel industry for a long time and had seen all kinds of micro cameras, she would not have noticed it at all.At that moment, she felt cold, having figured out in an instant that Dorian planned all of this.She did not know what he was going to do with the footage, but it would definitely be something he could

"Ow!" He wailed from the pain as he struggled to get up, only succeeding somewhat after Jay yanked him up by the back of his neck."Apologize to Ms. Seymour!" Jay ordered him.With the ordeal he had gone through, Dorian's face was already wet with tears and snot. He did not dare to go against Jay's order. Even though he was unwilling, he did as he was told. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Seymour!"Larissa could not hear any hint of sincerity in his voice."Ms. Seymour, if you're angry, feel free to hit or shout at him if you wish," Jay said.Larissa did not understand why Jay would go this far. From their brief acquaintance at the Seymour family home, Jay had come across as an assertive person who would persist even when he was in the wrong. "No need," Larissa replied, refusing his offer. She believed that someone like Dorian, whom she considered trash, couldn't be adequately punished through mere beatings or scoldings. Circling around them, she went back to the bedroom. Jay watched her w
