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. Because of this, Cody was struggling financially and had been desperate for ways to raise more money. Natur

Gary's body jolted as if he were awakened from a dream. Immediately, the sadness and nostalgia in his eyes disappeared in a flash.He smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll listen to your advice." The assistant's jaw dropped open with surprise. When Gary shot him a warning glare, he quickly regained his composure and put on a poker face. Gary got into the ambulance, accompanied by his assistant and Larissa. When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor conducted a brief examination and quickly came to a conclusion. "There's nothing major to be worried about. Just make sure to take your medication on time, avoid excessive fatigue, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."Gary looked at Larissa triumphantly. "See, what did I say?"Larissa pursed her lips, but Gary's assistant interrupted her before she could speak, "Mr. Logan, since you're already at the hospital, why not stay for observation and undergo a few more tests?"Gary frowned as he thought his assistant

After Larissa had arranged for Gary to be admitted to the hospital and ensured that he had completed all the necessary examinations, she left the hospital.Shortly after her departure, Alex went to meet Gary. Since he just suffered from a seizure, Gary wasn't feeling too well. In addition, he had to go to different departments in different buildings of the hospital for his examinations. After getting poked and prodded at, Gary collapsed on the hospital bed out of exhaustion. However, when he heard the sound of the door opening, Gary opened his eyes groggily.Initially, Gary thought that Alex was a doctor coming to check up on him as he was wearing a white coat, so Gary forced himself to sit up. He did not expect to be greeted with an ingratiating smile on Alex's face as he approached the bed. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Logan!" Gary was momentarily taken aback by Alex's effusive greeting, but the expression on his face remained nonchalant as he was used to people trying to c

Gary chuckled awkwardly, and the conversation came to an abrupt end. The two men fell silent, making the atmosphere more awkward. Changing the topic, Kevan said, "I heard that this time you're staying at the Winston Hotel instead of the Regal Dynasty Hotel?" Although Gary was currently relieved that he was staying at Winston Hotel, he wasn't pleased when he was informed that the presidential suite of Regal Dynasty Hotel had been occupied. The smile in his eyes faded and he replied indifferently, "That's right."Kevan immediately noticed the slight change in Gary's emotions as he was skilled at reading the expressions on people's faces. "What an idiot he is!" Kevan couldn't help but utter profanities under his breath at Cody's foolishness, despite having cursed Cody countless times before this. Although Cody was clinging on to the partnership with Blue Star Shipping as his lifeline, he didn't even care to visit the CEO himself. Kevan had reason to believe that even if he

Shortly after Larissa returned to the hotel, she heard the news of Roland's passing. With Roland's status and influence, every move that he made garnered considerable attention, even though he had already taken a backseat from his company's affairs. Understandably, his sudden death dropped a bomb on the whole country. Since last night, many important figures of the business world had rushed to Pine Mansion and caused extensive congestion in that area, drawing complaints from neighbors living nearby. Similarly, various media outlets and government departments received numerous complaints over the phone regarding the slow-moving traffic.Although the Winston Hotel was considered a rival to the Regal Dynasty Hotel, more than half of their management had jumped ship from the Regal Dynasty or other hotels and resorts under the Soaring Corporation. They still felt a sense of gratitude toward their former employer. Even though most of them had never seen Roland in person during the

"Young Mrs. Rogers?" Ben widened his eyes in disbelief. Everyone nearby turned around, staring at Larissa curiously. Embarrassed, Larissa blushed crimson. It was impossible for her to pretend that she hadn't heard him, so Larissa had no choice but to deny it. "You must have mistaken me for someone else."Ben opened his mouth to say that he hadn't made a mistake when he noticed Larissa making frantic gestures with her eyes. Grasping the situation, he changed his words wisely. "It seems so. I'm getting old, so my eyesight isn't what it used to be."Larissa immediately breathed a sigh of relief.Ben informed Larissa and her group, "The funeral service is being held at the main hall." When the others left, Ben pulled Larissa aside and whispered to her discreetly, "You should go to see Old Mr. Rogers for the last time. His coffin is placed in his bedroom. He probably wants to see you too." Although Larissa highly doubted that it was the truth, she agreed nonetheless. "Alrigh

Violet saw a group of people clearly waiting for Larissa and obliged reluctantly, swallowing back any words to make her stay. Larissa bid farewell and left with her colleagues in the direction of the exit. Just as she stepped over the threshold, she saw three intimidating figures approaching Pine Mansion. They were Xavier, Yvette, and Lana.Rumors said that Cody and Lana had gotten a divorce after she caught him cheating on her. Larissa wasn't interested in either of them, so she hadn't paid much attention to this issue. She didn't see Lana by Cody's side earlier, that was why she assumed that the rumors were true. At this moment, she wasn't so sure. Regardless, it would be best for her to leave. Hanging her head, Larissa stepped aside deliberately to avoid them. Even so, Yvette recognized her immediately. "Larissa? You're back!" Yvette grabbed Larissa's hand, her eyes wide with disbelief.Larissa couldn't hide any longer. She looked up with an expressionless f

Cody retaliated immediately, "Don't act like you're so innocent! You know very well that the reason you got together with me was because of my wealth! That's why you had no qualms about breaking up with your long-term boyfriend back then! We got together for ulterior motives of our own, so you have no one to blame for this! If you had been meek and obedient, I wouldn't mind keeping you as my wife, I'd just have thought of it as raising a pet!" "Fuck you, Cody! You're the dog! No, you're a bastard! You despicable bastard!" Lana's sharp voice almost broke as she screeched in despair. "If I'm a bastard, what does that make you? A promiscuous slut?" Cody refused to back down. Despite the somber setting, their insults became increasingly vulgar, making the onlookers frown with disapproval. Anthony stepped forward when he couldn't bear this any longer. "Both of you, shut up immediately!" His authoritative command silenced Lana and Cody instantly. "If you want to quarrel, do it ou
