Her thoughts were swirling for a moment. "Can I?" Aster took one step forward and held her hand, swaying it lightly while gazing at her tearfully. Larissa couldn't bring herself to say no, but she still had her concerns. Although Ruby had been arrested, she couldn't help but wonder if Ruby had had anything to do with the accident in the parking lot. If it had been someone else … "Okay," she said and nodded. The kindergarten had strict regulations and no one was allowed entry or exit during class hours. As long as she sent him to school and picked him up punctually, there shouldn't be any danger. "That's fantastic!" Aster was so happy that he launched himself into the air. He hugged Larissa and gave her a loud smooch. "Mommy is the best!"After making sure that all was quiet outside, Aster hid under the blanket and sent Kevan a voice note. "Uncle Kevan, I'm going back to kindergarten. Good luck with work too! Let's game together when we're both free. How about that?"Kevan cal

Microworks Corporation used the rumors they had accumulated over the years to attract a large number of diehards like him. At this critical juncture, those diehards became a free army for Microworks to "eradicate" Rubik Corporation to uphold justice. Kevan had to admit that he was quite grateful for this. It made him more determined to develop and produce high-quality games. He couldn't disappoint those players when they had such expectations. Although there was much backlash, Galeforce's popularity was not badly affected. The number of downloads and active players ranked the game first on the list of domestic games. The daily cash reloads were also showing a very positive number. When it was nearing the date of Rubik Corporation's new game release, the company posted an apology on its official Twitter page saying that a technical error had occurred due to rushing the deadline. Hence, the release of the game would be postponed indefinitely. Rubik Corporation was a despised presen

It strengthened his determination to make good quality games that would meet the expectations of gamers who were fans of his company. After having dinner with some clients, Kevan was on the way home. He had drunk quite a bit of alcohol. Combined with his exhaustion from working late each day, he felt a rare migraine coming on. Kevan leaned back into the seat and massaged his throbbing temples. When he was about to close his eyes for a quick nap, his phone rang suddenly. Furrowing his brows, he opened his eyes and retrieved

News of Roland's death had somehow leaked out. The entrance to the alley was filled with cars, so he had to instruct his driver to park the car a street away and walk there himself. It was already late at night. Normally, Roland would have already gone to bed at this hour. There wouldn't have been any lights switched on in Pine Mansion. However, today the whole mansion was brightly lit. Every spot was crowded with people coming and going out of the mansion. Everyone was dressed in dark clothing that blended into the darkness as they walked along the alleyway. Ben stood at the entrance of Pine Mansion to receive guests who came to pay their respects. His eyes were swollen from crying and the expression on his face was one of sorrow.When he saw Kevan, he couldn't help but shed a tear. "Young Mr. Rogers, you've finally returned!"Pursing his lips tightly, Kevan's face was tense as he stared at Ben blankly, without any emotion in his gaze. It was as if he was looking a

Kevan nodded with a straight face and comforted her stiffly, "Please accept my condolences."His indifference made tears well up in Violet's eyes once again. Looking up at Kevan, she opened her mouth to reproach him, but in the end, she pursed her lips without another word. "Oh, is Kevan here as well?" Kevan's uncles appeared with their families in tow. There were no signs of grief on their faces. Instead, they were smiling in satisfaction. Bernard stared at Violet's face and remarked with displeasure, "Violet, I've told you before, this occasion is a celebration of life for Father. He passed away peacefully in his sleep. How could he rest in peace with you crying like this?" Violet lowered her head wordlessly as her grip on Kevan's arm tightened. Narrowing his eyes, Kevan couldn't stop the hostility that arose within him. "It's natural to feel sad when a family member has passed away. On the other hand, what about all of you? Are you happy because Grandpa is at peace, o

Dylan and Kevan had known each other for over a decade, but this was the first time Dylan had seen him in such a sorry state. In Dylan's memory, Kevan was always calm and composed. No matter what challenges he faced, he was unshakable. Naturally, Dylan knew how close Kevan was to his grandfather, allowing him to empathize with Kevan's overwhelming emotions. In the end, Dylan stopped trying to advise Kevan. He could only look on helplessly as Kevan drank himself into a stupor and blacked out on the sofa. As Kevan was tall and well-built, it was impossible for Dylan to carry him out on his own. Furthermore, he was completely unconscious. Dylan asked the staff to bring in some blankets so that they could spend the night in the private room.The shock of Roland's death was too great, causing Kevan to suddenly develop a high fever in the middle of the night. He started speaking incoherently, mumbling his grandfather's and Larissa's names with an anguished expression on his fac

"Even in this sorry state, why are you still unable to overcome that annoying habit of yours?" Dylan rolled his eyes in annoyance. Lowering his head, Kevan grunted in agreement and took the tissues to dry up the water stains on his clothes slowly. He struggled to finish the rest of the water, wetting his dry and cracked lips. Glancing at the IV bag above his hand, he asked Dylan, "How much longer until the IV is over?" There was still half of the liquid left in the IV bag."About half an hour," Dylan replied. "Alex went out for a smoke, but he'll be back soon to remove the IV."Dylan was referring to a doctor friend of his, Alexander Wade. Alex was working as the head of a department at a hospital and hadn't put in an IV drip for many years. "Why did you call Alex here?" Kevan furrowed his brows slightly. "Wasn't he busy with the restructuring of the hospital's management recently?" "What else could I do?" Dylan fixed his glasses. "You can't go to the hospital, and I do

Kevan was aware of the prospective partnership between Blue Star Shipping and Soaring Corporation. He had people keeping an eye on Cody's every move. Each action that Cody took was reported to Kevan in a timely manner. However, he didn't pay much attention to this matter.Over the past few years, Cody had been throwing money at different investments. Thanks to Kevan pulling some strings behind the scenes, most of Cody's ventures ended up failing, resulting in a loss of billions of dollars. Cody himself didn't have that much personal wealth to invest. He invested in those ventures using the name of Soaring Corporation and embezzled funds from the company. Now that all of them incurred huge losses, Cody had no way to repay the money he'd embezzled. The board of directors in Soaring Corporation had started to question Cody about the deficit in their account books.
