Kevan did not move. He seemed not to have heard Larissa's words, and he did not even bother to look at her. He stared at the man in black rushing at him. The moment the man in black reached out, Kevan swiftly grabbed the man's wrist.The man screamed in pain as the knife in his hand fell to the floor.Kevan moved his foot and kicked the knife under the car parked nearby.The man in black watched as the knife vanished under the car. Then, his eyes were filled with fear and hopelessness."You …" He just started to speak when his feet were suddenly off the floor. He had no time to react as his world turned wildly about. Then, his back slammed heavily onto the floor, and he felt like his spine was going to break. The man in black moaned in pain as tears spilled down his cheeks.Kevan stood next to him before dropping one foot onto the man's chest while he gazed at him. "Who sent you?" he asked coldly.The man refused to speak. Kevan pressed down harder with his foot, and the man scre
When Kevan and the police were talking, Lewis opened the car door and let Larissa out."Are you alright?" Lewis pulled on Larissa's arm and checked her over. Her face and neck were uninjured, but her hand—Lewis hissed. "We'll go to the hospital right now!"Hearing the word "hospital," Kevan tensed up as he came over to ask hoarsely, "What's wrong?"Lewis forced Larissa to open up her palm. The scary cuts on her palm were exposed before their very eyes."It's not too serious …" Larissa smiled timidly, and she tried to take her hand back from Lewis. But she failed, of course.Kevan's gaze stayed on her palm for a very long time.Just as Larissa said, the cuts were not too serious. The bleeding had stopped long ago. It just looked hideous, that was all. But the fear and self-blame in Kevan's heart was still there."I'm sorry," he mumbled in a low voice.Larissa watched him in confusion. "Why are you apologizing?"She heard everything Ronan said. The one who instructed him to do
Lewis' car had been completely destroyed, so it naturally could not be driven.Kevan sent them to the closest hospital based on Lewis' request.Larissa resisted the whole way, saying that she was not bleeding anymore. "It doesn't hurt either. It'll heal in two days. We will be late for our flight."…The men in the car ignored her words.There were many patients in the hospital waiting for their turn. Kevan wanted to use his position to jump a few numbers, but Larissa stopped him. "It's not like we're in a rush right now."Her eyes showed annoyance, and her voice was very unhappy.Her annoyed look was cute to Kevan. His eyes were filled with gentleness as his words carried a hint of his smile. "Don't be mad." He patted her head. "Once your injuries are taken care of, I'll send you to the airport. You will be able to leave today."His attitude made Larissa's unhappiness disappear quickly. She looked down to hide the redness on her face, and she replied coldly, "'Kay then."They
Aster was fine, but when Larissa thought of having to go back and face her old pa with super keen eyesight, she felt afraid. "How about staying here for a few more days?""No!"Both men said together at the same time, which startled Larissa.Compared to the dangers in Caldor, Gary's "warnings" were nothing."We must leave today!" Lewis said.Kevan, on the other hand, wordlessly drove towards the airport.…Lewis rebooked the flight tickets and changed them to the next flight. When they reached the airport, they were just in time for it.After they got their boarding passes, it was almost time. Larissa did not even have time to officially say goodbye to Kevan before Lewis dragged her over to customs.Kevan watched the two jog away, and he forced down his feelings of yearning. He only turned around after they vanished and pulled out his phone to call Dylan. "You free? Come to the police station with me."…Inside the police station, Ronan had been temporarily imprisoned in the
Forty minutes later, Dashiell Montgomery, the police officer in charge of this case, brought in a middle-aged woman in her forties.The woman was dressed rather plainly, and her eyes were red from crying. The moment she saw Ronan, her tears began to fall again."Why the hell did you destroy someone's car?!" Mr. Montgomery had already explained things to her before they came in—Of course, she was told that Ronan had smashed the car to steal things. "We have good jobs with okay salaries. We aren't poor enough to need to steal things to live, do we?"Faced with his wife's questioning, Ronan looked down guiltily. "I …" He wanted to say something but just sighed in the end. "Did you bring the thing I told you to?" He changed the subject.The woman wiped her eyes and drew out a USB drive from her down jacket. "What is this thing that you need me to send it all the way from home?" When she spoke, her voice still showed her anger toward her husband."Never mind that!" Ronan snapped with i
Kevan went out to pass a USB drive to Dashiell.Ronan turned off the surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot of Winston Hotel. The black boxes, which were installed in some of the cars, caught his actions.Kevan asked someone to compile the footage into that USB drive."After I watched the footage, I found out that it isn't as simple as auto burglary," he told Dashiell.Dashiell took the USB drive with solemnity. "I will get to the bottom of it.""Thank you, Mr. Montgomery." Kevan gave him a smile.When Kevan got back into the car, Dylan asked, "Aren't you afraid of alerting the other party?"The last thing Kevan wished for was to alert the mastermind behind Ronan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put Ronan on a light charge.Once Kevan gave the game away, the other party would put on their guards. When that happened, it would be difficult to find out who the mastermind was."Even if that happens, I won't let him get away that easily." An ominous glint flashed a
"Fools! Fools! What a bunch of fools!" Accompanied by the smashing of items, a deranged roar echoed in the presidential office of Soaring Corporation. The secretaries and executive assistants exchanged glances. They hung their heads low helplessly and continued their work as though they didn't hear the commotion.Tony, the executive assistant, soon received an intercom call. The number caused him to hesitate momentarily before he answered it politely, "Mr. Harrington. Mr. Cody isn't at work today. "I don't think I have the right to ask for his personal business. Yes. I shall relay the message once he's back."Once the call ended, his colleagues began texting in the group chat."Is Mr. Harrington calling for a BOD meeting?""Please, don't. Can he not cause trouble?!""The King is on the verge of losing his sanity. Give him another blow, and we're dead meat.""When will this end?""If this continues, I'm gonna resign. The pay is high, but the pressure as a presidential manag
"I'm done. I'm totally done for this time," Cody thought.Not only was his plan a failure, the higher-ups kept pressuring him to resign. He was backed into a corner, not knowing how to turn the tables."Kevan Rogers … " He gritted his teeth as anger surged in full swing. "It's all because of you. It's all your fault! It's all because of you!"He kicked his desk, and the chair rolled backward as a result of inertia until it hit the bookshelf.He almost fell onto the floor. Furious, he smashed the chair as well. The office turned into a mess with nowhere to walk around.With reddened eyes, he took his phone out of his pocket."Edmund, could you help me for the one last time?" He humbled himself, unlike the president of a company.Ever since his father was arrested, the only person he could rely on was Edmund.Still, he didn't want to admit the fact that Edmund was better at business management than him. The Regal Dynasty Hotel, a subsidiary of Soaring Corporation, was amongst the
