Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 698
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

Lewis kept their return a secret. Thus, Gary didn't know that Lewis and Larissa had flown back to Aldovia, let alone the news of them going to Gary's company."Mr. Lewis is here to see you with a lady." Gary was stunned when his secretary informed him about the sudden guests. He assumed that Lewis came to visit him with a girlfriend, hence the anticipation.However, the moment he noticed Larissa, his anticipation turned into a pleasant surprise."Why didn't you inform me earlier about your return? I could've asked someone to take you from the airport," he complained to Lewis.Smiling, Larissa stood up for Lewis. "I told him not to."Gary glared at her, but he couldn't bring himself to scold her for that. He bypassed his desk and asked concernedly, "How do you feel?""Good." She seated herself on the couch, hiding her bandaged hand as implicit as possible.Gary checked on her from the head to the toe several times. He caressed her cheek and sighed. "You're thinner. Your puffy c

"Lewis went to check out. It was beyond his expectations too," Larissa defended Lewis. "Don't blame him, Dad."Now that she had put it that way, Gary couldn't let steam off in front of her, even if he was angry at Lewis.Suppressing his fury, Gary asked her, "Is there anything I can help with?"Despite their short encounter, he knew her character very well. Larissa was strong and independent. Making others worried was the last thing on her list.Putting his anger and worries aside, Gary was slightly taken aback when she told him about the kidnap.Judging from her character, she was not someone who would bring it up herself.Even if he found out about the injury on her hand, she would've definitely glossed it over by making up an excuse.No, she might not even meet him until she recovered.Meanwhile, Larissa was not surprised that he had seen through her. She smiled faintly. "I would like to take over your company."Gary and Lewis were equally dumbfounded. "W-Why?" Gary stamm

Since Larissa decided that she would take over Blue Star Shipping, she had to resign from her job at Winston Hotel. Lewis didn't dare to let her out alone, nor let anyone else accompany her. He delayed his work at hand and personally brought Larissa to the Winston Hotel. Although she had worked there for many years, Larissa still felt a sense of unfamiliarity when she looked at the tall building in front of her. It was because she hadn't been there for more than a year. "Go in." Lewis gave her a push in the back. The layout of the Winston Hotel's headquarters had not changed since Larissa was transferred to Bartham. Her boss, Allen Grint, still had his office in its original location. Larissa asked Lewis to wait for her outside, then she knocked on the door to Allen's office. Allen had already known about her arrival from his secretary, so he came to open the door personally. "Larissa!" Allen pulled Larissa in for a warm hug. "Have you decided to return to work?" When

Raising his eyebrows, Allen asked, "Aster?" Larissa shook her head, "No." "Hmm? Who is it?" Allen was surprised. When Allen saw Lewis, his face fell. "Is he your boyfriend?" Allen remarked sullenly. Although Larissa noticed the change in his attitude, she did not think too much of it. "He is my cousin, Lewis Logan." She introduced him to Allen.The expression on Allen's face immediately cleared up. He stretched out his hand toward Lewis with a smile. "Mr. Logan, nice to meet you." Lewis had already heard of Allen from Larissa. Knowing that he was a good superior to Larissa, Lewis returned the courtesy with a warm greeting as well, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Grint." After they were both introduced, Larissa explained the situation to Lewis. "I'm going to have a meal with my boss and colleagues. Do you want to join?" Lewis had no reason to refuse. The other colleagues in Larissa's department had worked with her for many years, and they were quite close. When they hear
