Soon, Jack called too. "We've found out where Ron is. Your daughter's with him."Ron was temporarily living in a private house on the outskirts of the city. It was a secluded area, with farmland all around. The neighbors were all placed very far apart from each other, which was a perfect place to hide a person.Jack had sent in a team to stake out the area nearby. They were to report to him the moment they heard or saw anything.Kevan grunted in acknowledgment. "Thank you for your hard work.""Not at all, this is what we should be doing," Jack said cheerfully. "Oh, by the way, about your grandpa—"Kevan froze, his pupils dilating. "Yes?""Roland's body has been cremated, so we can't perform an autopsy, which means we can't figure out how he died exactly. Although I really want to help you, I can't file a case based on your suspicions. As for Cody, I've used my personal connections to help you check. He did not exhibit any strange behavior before Roland passed. So …" Jack did not

This was the first time that Larissa had ever heard of Yvette's past.It was not her fault for being ill-informed. The truth was, the first time she knew that Yvette was once a famous celebrity was during her second year in high school. She went to the teacher's office to get the test papers at noon when she heard a couple of teachers talking and lamenting about it.Technology was not as advanced then as it was today. Computers were still luxurious items to the average family, and phones could only be used to call and text. Television and the news were the only two ways that people could get information.Yvette had stopped shooting movies for many years, so she was no longer prevalent in the media. The Seymours had never bothered with Larissa, and her peers at the time knew nothing about Yvette either.After she had grown up and gotten to use the Internet, Larissa never ever looked Yvette up, probably because she hated her. It was only when some Instagram marketing accounts would p

Larissa was about to say something to smooth things over when Morgan's phone rang.Ending the confrontation he had with Emmy, Morgan felt for his phone in his pocket. In the next second, his face appeared frozen.Emmy swiftly snatched his phone from him."Hey! What are you doing!" Morgan tried to get it back, but Emmy had already backed away till she was hiding behind Larissa.This all happened so fast that the crowd had no time to react.Emmy answered the call and put it on speakerphone."Morgan!" An overly attentive and sweet voice of a woman came through the phone's speakers, and everyone heard it.Larissa froze at once.That voice was familiar as hell, it was just that the tone … was massively different from the way that she usually heard it.Emmy said nothing as she turned to look at Morgan with a cold smile on her face."You promised to help me make an appointment to have a meal with Mr. Stephens of Olympus Entertainment before. What about it? Has it been decided?" Yvet

Larissa went outside with Emmy while also signaling to her assistant manager with her eyes that he should head back himself first.Emmy stopped at the elevator and asked Larissa, "Do you have a bar here?" She did not look good, and her smile was very forced.The fourth floor of Winston Hotel was a chill bar with all kinds of alcohol, and the environment was very tranquil, so Larissa brought her there.The resident singer had yet to leave. Her hoarse voice was singing softly at low pitches, which caused the atmosphere to be a little bleak for some reason.Emmy was not in a good state, so Larissa did not allow her to order any strong alcohol and only ordered two glasses of tap beer for each of them."Don't be angry, Emmy," Larissa advised her as she touched her glass to hers."I'm not angry! Who says I am?" Emmy downed a huge mouthful of beer and slammed her glass down. With a loud bang, the golden liquid splattered everywhere on the table.Hearing this, the waiter came over and a

"Maybe because deep down, men just like delicate women like Yvette!" Larissa replied after a moment's thought.Yvette and Ruby seemed to be the same sort of people.The fact that Ruby could even gain Kevan's heart proved that men really liked that sort of delicate frailty she exuded.Emmy angrily downed the rest of the beer in her glass. "Well, aren't they just two-faced bitches and whores? Motherfucking punk son of a bitch! Men are all blind!" Her rage reached its peak, and the volume of her voice overtook the dreamy singing in the room.The melodious guitar stopped abruptly, and all the waiters and patrons in the bar turned to look over at them.Emmy did not seem to notice as she raised a finger to the air and swore. "If Morgan dares help Yvette get resources, I will fucking divorce him at once!"Larissa quickly comforted her. "Morgan is definitely not that type of person! Please chill out a little, Emmy. Go back and have a good talk with Morgan. Don't have any misunderstanding

Larissa meddled by giving Morgan advice because firstly, she wanted to bring justice for Emmy, and secondly, she had her own personal reasons. She could ignore and not persecute the Seymours for everything they did to her. But since they dared to make Aster a target for their cunning ideas, then they should not blame her for being heartless.Having worked in the hotel industry for more than ten years and having contact with numerous guests, Larissa had developed quite a network of connections. She found a name in her contacts list and called the number under it once she was certain that it was the one she wanted.The other person was also a busy bee, the phone rang for a good while before they answered."Larissa, what made you call me after so long?" A young woman's voice came through the phone, clearly happy but also curious."Are you busy these days? Could you take some time out to come to Bartham? I have a huge deal for you, see if you want to take it." Larissa smiled, but it di

Ruby leaned in, trying to grab Kevan's hand that was resting on the table. He quickly evaded her grasp, casting his gaze downward to conceal the disgust in his eyes. He then repeated, "I'm sorry.""Is it because of Larissa? It's because of her, right?" Her expression turned vicious. "That bitch must have said something to you! Don't believe her! She wants me dead! She's a vile woman!"If it weren't for the unfinished business, Kevan would have immediately stood up and left; the air seemed to turn foul wherever she was. "It has nothing to do with anyone." He forcefully suppressed his anger and pushed his phone toward her. "I came to see you today for this."Her attention was diverted. She stared at his phone, looking perplexed, and asked, "What about it?"He played the video for her to watch. Her expression only showed subtle changes, and her initial reaction wasn't as panicked as a typical mother would be. Half a minute later, she exclaimed, "What happened to Bethany? What's going on?

Kevan blocked Ron's number and was finally able to enjoy some peace and quiet for the afternoon. However, in the evening, Violet called, bombarding him with a barrage of questions. "Tell me the truth. Has Bethany been kidnapped?"Her tone was urgent, tinged with panic. Each word quivered as it left her lips. There was no need for Kevan to speculate; Cody must have leaked the news to her. "Yes," he admitted."When did it happen?" Her trembling intensified."The day before yesterday," he answered.He reached out to his mother the same night when he received the kidnapper's call. Bethany had been staying with Violet all along, and it was only natural for Violet to be concerned when the nanny couldn't find Bethany when she went and picked Bethany up.Instead of telling Violet the truth, Kevan concocted an outrageous lie, saying, "I brought Bethany over to stay with me for a few days."Surprisingly, not only did she not suspect anything, but she was also very delighted. Her biggest wish wa
