Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 679
"Bruh, this girl's so fake! What kind of illness did she get that she needed her boyfriend to carry her all the way? Does she think she's a princess or something?"…Larissa buried her face deeper into Kevan's neck.Kevan was super tensed up when he felt her hot breath against his neck. His whole body was so stiff that he gradually slowed down in order to cover up how unnatural he was at the moment.When they finally entered the doctor's office, Larissa and Kevan's awkward state was finally lessened.The doctor was a slightly elderly head doctor. He was probably used to youngsters being all clingy with each other, so he was rather chill about it all, and he did not show any scorn."Go take a blood test." The doctor wrote a prescription at once when he heard what Kevan said about the symptoms. "Once you get the results, come and find me again."The blood test venue was on the same floor.Kevan still did not put Larissa down. Larissa knew that Kevan was a stubborn idiot, so she g

Larissa had trended more than once when she was in conflict with the Hardy family. She trended again when she got knocked down by Lana's car.Both times they had caused quite the commotion then. So, it was not strange to end up on the trending list. But she had not done anything over these two days. Thus, Larissa could not for the life of her figure out why she was trending now.Lewis helped her understand. He showed her his phone. There were a series of familiar hashtags on the trending list.1. #Kevan&MysteriousLady2. #BisexualKevan3. #KevanNewLove4. #Larissa7. #Microworks10. #GoldenMediatorsRoom11. #Zero12. #Lana13. #CosmicEntertainmentLarissa tapped into the first hashtag. The most viral tweet came from an account called "Rich Secrets," and it went like this:"Microworks Corporations' Kevan Rogers seems to be bisexual!"Earlier, someone in the industry said that Mr. Rogers liked men, but someone snapped an intimate picture of him with a woman in the hospital.

Larissa read all kinds of comments on the Internet.She and Kevan were not in that kind of relationship like the public thought. Thus, Larissa could still act like an outsider looking in when the netizens began to argue. She could observe the mess this way. But the debates grew worse. Almost everyone was wondering if she was worthy to be with Kevan. Then, Larissa's calm began to falter. Rage and embarrassment began to grow in her.Lewis could see Larissa's depression. He could naturally see the cruel comments on the Internet too. Unlike Larissa, he was not the type to swallow all his grief and pain. Once he left the hotel room, Lewis made a call. Half an hour later, the trending hashtags were all taken down. Any related tweets were deleted too, and no trace of them could be found.…Larissa still had one more infusion.Once the Internet fever died down, Lewis accompanied Larissa to the hospital.Larissa wore a mask. So, she did not look different from the other patients w

Janine Levange, who Larissa had not seen in a very long time, was wearing the uniform of the hotel's janitor. She was holding a mop. There was a part of the floor that was still wet in front of Larissa's room door.Janine's back was more hunched than ever. She was also skinnier."Lari!" Janine forced out a flattering smile that Larissa had never even seen from her before. Janine's wrinkles deepened with that act. She threw down the mop and rushed toward Larissa. The speed at which she walked did not match her aged appearance.Larissa gasped as she backed away, her right hand gripping Lewis' arm on instinct.Lewis had only seen pictures of Larissa's former mother-in-law on the informational documents. Although the woman in the picture had not taken great care of herself, she was still so much younger than Janine was now. That was why he did not recognize her at first.Larissa's fear made Lewis more alert. He stepped in front of her to separate her from that weird "janitor

When it came to shamelessness, the Hardy family was still on top. No one could ever beat them in that.Seeing that Larissa was struck speechless by her, Janine grew more and more smug. "I'm telling you, Larissa, I can sue you anytime I want! So, don't act like you're better than me! I'll make sure you are ruined and disgraced! I'll make sure you won't end up as whatever general manager! See if I don't!""Sue me, then." Larissa could not care less about Janine's little threat.Travis Hardy's death was concluded to be suicide. His family had confirmed this fact with their signatures too. If the Hardy family wanted to "overturn" this case, it might be a little hard for them.Besides—If Larissa were really "ruined and disgraced," as Janine hoped, then Janine's purpose in coming here would have been for nothing.As expected, Janine hesitated for a moment."I …" She steadied herself and pieced her words together again. "I can sue you, of course! But I want to give you one more chance

Lewis followed along to the police station and came back not long after. "It's not really security's fault this time," he said.Janine was indeed a janitor at Winston Hotel. She had been hired before Larissa's current return to Caldor. Janine had already worked for almost a month."Still, she did indeed come here to find you at first."Lewis had spoken to the captain of security. The captain had told Lewis everything he knew."Find me? For what?" Larissa frowned.Lewis held out his hands helplessly. "She didn't tell anyone."Janine caused trouble at the hotel for several days before stopping after that. When she reappeared again, she was seeking a job.The hotel never had enough manpower. Janine was quick in her work. So, she successfully passed the three-day probation period. Thus, the hotel signed her up as an employee.As for her son, no one knew what happened to him. But a janitor in the same batch as Janine said that Janine often boasted about how successful her

The matter of Andrew suggesting stocks was found out immediately. "Insider trading" was illegal. Also, he was so obvious about it.Andrew's superior knew nothing about the higher-ups' games. The superior fired Andrew at once and even called the police. The police had already begun to investigate, and they were currently at the stage of looking for evidence.The main person in charge only found out about all this from his subordinate when Kevan came over."My apologies, Mr. Rogers." He carefully apologized. "I didn't successfully keep an eye on him.""It's his own problem." Kevan naturally did not think that Andrew would have maintained good behavior just because someone was watching him. After all, a leopard could not change its spots."Work well with the police in their investigation. Give them whatever they want." Kevan paused before adding a stern warning. "Do not break the rules ever again."The main person in charge quickly agreed. "Yes, we definitely won't!"…Once

Kevan's seriousness made Larissa feel more panicked than ever. Clutching at the sheets tightly, Larissa asked so softly that she almost could not be heard, "Talk … about what?"Kevan did not give her the chance to escape this. "Aster."What was meant to come had come in the end.Closing her eyes, Larissa took a deep breath and tried to calm her pounding heart."You're mistaken," she said. "Aster is not your son." This was the only way that would prevent her from thinking further into it."The report would not lie." Kevan's gaze was fixed on her. His voice was just a bit hoarse. "Larissa, don't lie to yourself.""Lie to myself?" This term seemed to have triggered Larissa as she laughed suddenly. Her eyes were filled with plain mockery.A chill crept up Kevan's spine, and his pupils shrunk a little. His fingers dug hard into the soft flesh of his palm."Ask yourself, Kevan Rogers. Who was the one who has been lying to themselves?" Her timidity vanished, and Larissa's eyes became

Wendy said, "You have to walk faster than this, Larissa! It's almost time! Your husband can't wait!""Alright!" Larissa quickly gathered up her skirts and followed her.The sun was out.Its golden rays shone softly on the red carpet through the rose petals.Larissa suppressed her desire to stay here for a little while longer and quickly walked toward the end.It was the door to the glass hall.Gary held Aster's hand and his cane in the other, waiting for her at the entrance.When he saw her, Aster immediately let go of Gary's hand and rushed toward her. "You're so pretty today, Mommy!"Larissa patted his head and smiled gently. "Thank you."Aster was her flower boy. Like Gary, he was wearing a tuxedo with a little bowtie.He was holding a basket that was proportionate to his body. In it were rose petals of various colors and shapes.The music suddenly began playing.Gary walked up to her and extended his arm toward her. "Let's go."He looked at her with a smile, his eyes g

Gary and Lewis left Bartham after two days.Blue Star did not give them time off. They couldn't stay for long.Larissa's holidays were coming to an end as well. Half of the time, she was in the Rogers' villa.Because of the pandemic, most of the shops weren't open yet. She slept and ate at home most of the time and accompanied her family. It was quite nice.After the holidays, Kevan and Larissa went back to work.Aster was sent to the kindergarten that he'd been to before. Violet was the one who drove him to and fro.In fact, in order to better take care of him, the parents moved out of Rogers' villa and bought a house in Kevan and Larissa's neighborhood.The days passed in the blink of an eye.Blue Star's company in Bartham was quickly built. Lewis sent over a few loyal and trained employees to hold the fort with Larissa and hired people according to the company's needs. The company was soon on the right track, and the headquarters' work was moved over.Larissa grew busier an

Violet had set aside Larissa's breakfast for her.Larissa ate with reddened cheeks. Kevan and Aster, who had been waiting for her, got up at the same time. Violet brought out a boxful of pie from the kitchen."Don't forget this." She put the box in Kevan's hands."Alright. Thanks, Mom." Kevan looked at Larissa and asked, "Can we go now?"Larissa wanted to ignore him, but in front of Violet, she couldn't express her emotions right now."Yes," she replied, pulling Aster toward her. She said goodbye to Violet and strode out the door.Kevan smiled in slight annoyance and followed suit.…Kevan had told Aster beforehand that they were going to see Great-Grandpa. Thus, all of Aster's questions on the way there revolved around him."Why is great-grandpa called 'Great-Grandpa'?""Is he Grandpa's dad?""Is Great-Grandpa fierce?""If he's dead, how is he going to eat the pie?"…Kevan patiently answered all of his questions.Meanwhile, Larissa looked out the window silently.Keva

Since Larissa had gone downstairs alone, it was natural to expect a few questions."Where's Kevan? Why isn't he coming down with you?""Where's Daddy? He said he would launch fireworks with me."Larissa walked over calmly and made up an excuse. "He's tired, so he showered and slept."The older people did not doubt her. Only Lewis stared at her thoughtfully."Oh … Why did Daddy sleep so early?" Aster pouted in disappointment."You can get him to launch fireworks with you tomorrow. It'll be the same." Larissa patted his head, keeping a calm expression on her face.Anthony and Violet gave the gifts they'd prepared to Larissa and Aster.Violet looked at them, tears falling down her cheeks."I have no regrets now," she said."Thank you, Mom." Larissa gave her a big hug.Violet was stunned, and she cried harder."Good girl." She hugged Larissa back, smiling widely.After Anthony and Violet, Gary and Lewis gave them their gifts. However, they were calm. Aster was so happy that he

"Happy Reunion Day!"For some reason, Larissa's eyes became a little moist. Her voice even sounded a bit choked up."What's wrong?" Kevan nervously held her face, urging her to meet his gaze. "Didn't you like the fireworks just now?"She shook her head. "No, I really liked them!""Then, why are you crying?" Kevan couldn't stand seeing her cry; it tugged at his heart."I'm just very moved."She buried her face in his chest, speaking emotionally, "Welcoming the big family reunion dinner with the person you love is wonderful."The corners of Kevan's mouth gradually curved up as he heard what she said.The hand around her waist tightened inch by inch."I love you too, Lari."He lowered his head and planted a kiss on the top of her head.She hurriedly pushed him away as she sensed his body's response. But she couldn't move him much."They're still waiting for us downstairs!" she reminded him.Lewis knew she was awake, and the fireworks were already over. If they stayed he

It was a rare occasion to have the entire extended family gathered together like this for the big family reunion dinner. In the evening, everyone was in high spirits, having enjoyed a bit of alcohol. Violet took advantage of the festive atmosphere and insisted that Gary and Lewis stay.Since Larissa woke up early after a day without proper rest, she was already feeling quite sleepy even though the reunion dinner TV celebration had just begun.Violet was understanding and told her to go to bed.Larissa tried to muster her energy to stay up."No, I'll at least wait until after midnight."She wasn't someone who adhered to rituals or traditions.In previous years, she wouldn't have stayed up late specifically to welcome the big family reunion dinner day.But this year was different.She had the companionship of her family.She was no longer a drifting, rootless plant in a foreign land.Kevan furrowed his brows slightly and gave her a gentle push."You should get some sleep.

Larissa recalled that there was indeed such an incident.However, Kevan's excuse to her was that he needed to go to Westonia to handle matters concerning Edmund."Kevan knows how the customs work better than you! You're not even married. Yet, you're already taking his side!"Gary scoffed.His displeasure was quite obvious.Larissa chuckled awkwardly, then decided to come clean and reveal the whole truth. "Well, the truth is, Kevan and I never actually got divorced. I married him over six years ago."Gary hadn't heard this from Kevan.So, his emotions seemed conflicted upon first hearing that. He clutched his chest. It was as if he were experiencing some discomfort.Larissa and Lewis quickly approached him, asking with concern, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"In a sudden change of demeanor, Gary used his other hand to playfully tap Larissa's forehead.His expression instantly returned to normal. However, the tap was quite forceful, causing Larissa to wince in pain."If yo

Larissa had to pick up Gary and Lewis early tomorrow morning. So, after having dinner, she returned to her room to freshen up and get ready for bed. As she lay down on the bed, she found herself tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.Kevan had just managed to put Aster to sleep before coming into the room. He noticed that the lights were still on.He furrowed his brow and asked, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"Larissa lifted the blanket and sat up abruptly. "I'm feeling very anxious right now," she admitted.Her hair was in disarray.There was a troubled expression on her face."Anxious about what?" Kevan inquired."Well, my dad is coming over tomorrow. What if he doesn't get along with your parents?" The mere thought of that possibility gave her a headache."Uncle Gary is a reasonable person. He won't easily give anyone a hard time," Kevan defended Gary.His words brought a smile to Larissa's face. "Are you saying he hasn't been gi

"Alright, then. We shall head out." Larissa gathered her belongings and pulled Kevan toward the exit."I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning. It's almost the big family reunion dinner day. "So, it's hard to find a cab on the road. You might even find yourself waiting for half a day without coming across an empty cab."Gary didn't refuse. Instead, he requested, "Then, you come alone tomorrow."Her steps hesitated a moment, and she sighed inwardly. Gary really hadn't changed."Alright," she agreed.…As soon as they closed the door, Larissa began complaining to Kevan, "I thought my dad had really come around! Turns out, he still has reservations about you!"Kevan tightened his grip on her hand and smiled."Take it slow; there has to be a gradual process."He didn't expect Gary to change his attitude overnight. But as long as things were moving in a positive direction, he was content.She shrugged upon hearing that."Well, it's not me who's being wronged here; it's y
