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

Larissa did not feel the least bit happy that her guess had been confirmed. An incredible fury consumed her. She could only bite her lip to prevent herself from saying anything that would hurt.She could guess the reason why he pretended to be in a coma. It was definitely not because he wanted to do inappropriate things to her.He quietly waited for nearly six years. Within these six years, there were rumors that Microworks Corporation was going to collapse. But the truth was, Microworks' profits kept growing while Soaring Corporation kept getting worse. It was truly struggling on the edge of collapsing into bankruptcy.Larissa did not believe that Kevan was not involved in any of this. So, her fury did not come from the fact that he pretended to be in a coma. She was mad at his irresponsibility, which caused her pain and grief for a very long time before."Do you know that I nearly aborted the child?" Angry grief rose up in her, and Larissa's eyes somehow teared up. He

Kevan's face was right in front of hers. His eyes were as fathomless as always. They contained a great deal of emotions that Larissa could not figure out.She stared at him and forgot to struggle.Kevan deepened the kiss. One hand moved to the back of her head to stop her from moving.Larissa's eyes widened in panic. Her hands landed on his shoulders and pushed. But Kevan did not move. He only let her go when Larissa's tongue felt numb. He leaned down to hug her waist. His chin rested on her shoulders. His face rubbed against her neck.Larissa was stunned. A weird, tingling feeling ran throughout her whole body."Don't say stuff like that." Kevan's deep voice was filled with fragility. "Don't think of me that way."Larissa clenched the sheets in pain. Her heart was hurting so much."I have done many bad things," Kevan confessed to her. "I don't hope for you to forgive me. I only ask you to give me a chance to make it up to you and Aster."It was easy for Larissa's heart to

Seeing the way she suddenly guarded herself, Kevan's heart ached for her. It was so strong that it overpowered the sadness he felt at her distrust of him."You can depend on me in the future," he said, "Let me take care of Aster's safety." Her weak shoulders should not need to bear such a thing.Larissa froze. She suddenly felt like crying again, and she looked down to hide her teary eyes.…"You've talked things out with Mr. Rogers?" Lewis brought in a plate of peeled apples. He gave her one that had not yet turned brown.Larissa bit into it, and the sweet apple juice sprayed out. They stained the white sheets."I guess so," she mumbled as she chewed the apple.The truth was, she had a lot of questions in her mind. Such as, why let her get pregnant with his child? Why was he so cruel to Ruby? And what on earth did he feel for her right now?Without the "memory loss," all the things that made sense before now did not. But she could not have asked any of these questions when thi

Lewis was right. The police only arrested Janine long enough to question her and scold her before letting her go again. They did not even ask her to settle things with Larissa in private.The hotel reacted fast, though. They fired Janine at once and paid her current month's salary in full. They were afraid that she might come back and cause trouble again.The security on Larissa's floor had increased. The hotel's assistant manager brought a group of his subordinates to visit Larissa as well as apologize. He even brought a beautiful gift.As they were all former colleagues, Larissa did not make things hard on them. They sat together and chatted for a while. The assistant manager asked Larissa, "Ms. Seymour, will you still be coming back in the future?"Larissa waved her hand. "Nope! Do your best. The position of general manager will be yours soon!"The assistant manager was like her. He had jumped ship from the Regal Dynasty. He had reached a pretty high position back there
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 691
Larissa would never go with the man in black.Even if the car was bashed into twisted metal, she could still resist for a bit. Maybe she could even drag things out until Lewis came back.The man in black got angrier, likely because she refused to get out of the car. "You really want to do this the hard way, huh?"He swung the baseball bat again. The sounds of the car window glass shattering could be heard. The glass cracked into multiple pieces, and some of the pieces flew into the car. The pieces landed on the car seat.Without this layer of protection, Larissa could clearly see the cruel smile in the man's eyes."Well? Get out now!" He threatened her.Larissa pinched the flesh of her palm. She struggled to maintain her calm appearance."There are multiple surveillance cameras here," she said, her voice trembling just a bit. "Do you think that the police can't find you?"Who knew that the man in black was not the least bit afraid when she said that? He even went as far as
