Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 604
Kevan ignored her words, feeling for his phone to text Dylan via WhatsApp. "Give me a call in ten minutes."He only came for his parents' sake. Now that all social formalities had been taken care of, it was time to "retreat." He did think of accompanying his parents until the end of the event, but it was annoying to be in the company of Uncle Bernard's family, and he could not stand their drivel.Seeing that Kevan disregarded her completely, Maria had trouble keeping the smile on her face. "Kevan, boy, it's not that I'm criticizing you or whatever." The reproach in her voice grew stronger. "Earning money may be important, but you should be supporting your parents well too! When your parents are gone a few years later, who are you going to spend all that money on?""Don't worry, Aunt Maria." Kevan put his phone down and smiled faintly. "The money I give my parents every year is more than what your sons are able to earn combined. Besides, I have a daughter to raise too, so I must work

"Has the police been called? What did they say?""Did the kidnapper call? How much money do they want?"…The chattering discussion attracted the attention of the surrounding guests, to the point that Bernard, who was still in the midst of delivering his speech on stage, was ignored. Bernard deliberately tapped the mic with his fingers and cleared his throat twice, but he was unable to draw the attention of the crowd back to him.Kevan looked down, his hands clenched into fists on the table."Yes." After a long moment, he bit out this word with great difficulty."It's been so long! Has she not yet been rescued?!" Cody's voice grew louder from his anxiety.The guests further away were startled as they looked over as one.Cody wanted this matter to be known by all, so he did not control the volume of his voice. "Beth is your biological daughter! How can you be so heartless, Kevan? It's not like you lack that bit of money! Can you bear to just watch her die?" His "indignant" serie

Dylan's phone call only came after Kevan had reached the bottom floor of the hotel. "I'm already out." Kevan waved off the lobby manager and walked straight out of the hotel before getting into his car."So soon?" Dylan was a little surprised but figured it out after a moment's thought. "Those vampires tried to create trouble for you again?"Although Kevan did not like those two families, he never started anything on his end. He only ever retaliated because the two Rogers branch families kept provoking him on purpose. Not wanting to dwell on this subject further, Kevan asked Dylan, "How're things with you?"Dylan glanced at the ward door that was firmly shut next door before lowering his voice. "Something did happen."Kevan's nerves were pulled taut at once as he slammed the gas pedal all the way down. The black Maserati shot out like an arrow loose from a bow as it raced away through the night.…It normally took 45 minutes to get to Victory General Hospital from Regal Dynasty b

"Yvette's in the ward next door. And Kenneth said that he can't bear to stay in Cosmic any longer," Dylan sighed softly.These two things did not affect Kevan too much. "What happened to them?" he asked with a frown."Yvette went to Cosmic to cause trouble today. Kenneth tried to stop her a bit, and she slapped him. After that, Xavier beat the shit out of her, so she ended up getting hospitalized. It seems to be pretty bad." The moment he heard that Yvette was hospitalized, Dylan immediately got someone to find out what had happened. But because their plant, Kenneth, had left Cosmic in advance, no one could get a precise result but only a speculated one."Yvette still hasn't woken up. The police came once in the afternoon, and they left without getting any info."With how severely injured Yvette was, she could not threaten Larissa's safety. The alarm in Kevan's heart vanished at once, and he relaxed. "I will have someone keep an eye on the ward next door." He would be able to know

Larissa did not know how many times she had come to and left Bartham Airport. The weirdest thing about it was that whenever she was here, her mood would become strangely grave—it was as if she had gone back to that fateful day when she left Caldor six years ago."Time to go." When it was almost time to board the flight, Lewis helped Gary up before reaching out to grip the handles of the wheelchair."Okay." Feeling the wheelchair move, Larissa put away all her nonsensical thoughts and gripped the phone that Kevan forced into her hand last night tightly.Gary was walking next to her, and he saw that phone. Snorting coldly, he sneered. "We're about to leave, and he doesn't even want to come see us off!"He had not named the subject in his words, but Larissa knew who he was complaining about. She flipped the phone over, and the screen lit up because of her actions—there was still no word from him. Larissa pressed her lips tightly together, and the empty hole in her heart felt cold.Ga

"You've been following me for so long, and yet, you're still so useless." Xavier sneered and cast a disdainful glance at Ian while leisurely puffing on his cigar. "I'll handle this matter. Just keep your mouth shut, and don't go around talking about it," Xavier said confidently.Ian immediately felt relieved with Xavier's assurance but hesitated a little before speaking again, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Seymour, there's still no progress with Kenneth …" Xavier's expression changed upon hearing that, and he slammed the table hard. "How dare he show us attitude when we're being gracious to him."Ian trembled with fear and quickly explained, "He said that his pride was hurt when madam, I mean, Yvette slapped him. He can't swallow his pride.""That damn bitch!" Xavier's anger shifted back to Yvette. "I regret not killing her!"Ian kept his head down, standing quietly at the side, afraid to say anything that might provoke Xavier. It took a while for Xavier to calm down."Go find Kenneth
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 610
Lately, Xavier had been incredibly swamped as he attended one dinner party after another. The organizers of these parties ranged from bosses of entertainment companies, agents, actors, and of course, major investors, who were eager to impress him and gain his favor.That night, he was being entertained by a B-list female star. After wining and dining, it was a no-brainer that they booked a hotel room together. Just as they had removed their clothes and gotten cozy in the bedroom, the door was pounded on violently."Open up! Police!" Xavier's buzz vanished in an instant.The female star, who was clinging to him like an octopus just moments ago, freaked out. She pushed him away and scrambled to put on her clothes. Xavier grabbed his underwear, shook with nerves as he got dressed, and put on his slippers before cautiously approaching the door.He placed his hand on the doorknob and cautiously peered through the peephole—there stood several tall men in police uniforms standing outs

The officer behind the wheel hit the gas pedal, while the one in the passenger seat casually turned around and asked Xavier, "Do you have your phone with you?"Xavier became alert and countered, "What do you need it for?""We want you to call Chief Hanson!" The officer chuckled. "You can use mine if you don't have it." As he spoke, he pulled out his own phone and handed it over."There's no need! I've got mine! Take it from my right pocket!" Xavier was used to giving orders. So, instinctively, he also used an assertive tone even when talking to the officer.The officer wasn't bothered by Xavier's tone. Instead, he fetched the phone and handed it to him.Xavier dialed Chief Hanson's number. However, within seconds, he heard a cold, mechanical voice saying, "The person you called is unavailable. Please try again later." No matter how many times he tried, the result was still the same.The young officer sitting on Xavier's right side, who had handed him the phone, kindly reminded hi
