"I'm not trying to flatter you, but you are a much better boss than Mr. Harrison! Look at what happened today! Mr. Harrison disappeared without a trace. No explanation was given! He disappointed all of us!"Kevan's aim was to deal with Bryan. That was why he'd targeted the Winston Hotel. Larissa had enough reasons to suspect that Bryan's disappearance was also related to Kevan. Still, she wasn't going to defend Bryan now."Apart from Mr. Harrison, who else is managing the hotel's affairs now?" she asked the assistant, who rattled off some names.Larissa said, "Contact them and see what they have to say. News that the hotel has been shut down should have reached headquarters by now. The arrangements would be ready soon. Don't worry, and tell everyone else not to worry either.""Alright!" The assistant disappeared and returned in a few minutes. "Ms. Miller said she's already in a discussion with headquarters. She also told us to remain calm."Larissa replied, "Good." In the main gro

Aster and Wendy had a great time playing in the theme park. They walked out hand in hand, their faces flushed red with happiness. Larissa handed them a cup of hot coffee and milk respectively. She had prepared drinks in advance. She reached out to Aster and discovered that he was covered in sweat. His body was radiating heat from running around and playing. "Mommy! It's super fun inside!" He chattered away merrily like a bird, eager to introduce every corner of the park to Larissa. She listened attentively and asked a question or two occasionally in response to what he was saying. Aster's mood had improved, as if he had completely forgotten about what happened this morning. Larissa made a reservation for lunch at a restaurant famous for their burgers and fries. Aster loved fast food like this, but Larissa usually didn't allow him to eat them. Wendy teased Larissa, "Feeling threatened? Are you trying to win back your son's love from Mr. Rogers?" Larissa rolled her eyes and r

Larissa and Aster turned their faces away and ignored Wendy. Their expressions of disdain were obvious. "Hmph!" Wendy tossed her napkin in annoyance. She grabbed her bag and stood up, gritting her teeth. "I'm going to the restroom!" The restrooms in the restaurant were separated by gender, but the sinks outside were shared. When Wendy came out, there was a man who looked like a Caldorian washing his hands at the sink. After living in Aldovia for some time, she had long passed the phase of striking up conversations with random Caldorians. These days, she would not even look twice at the faces of unfamiliar people. Still, this man caught her attention for one reason. In this fast-food restaurant, no one was dressed as well as he did. Wearing a well-fitted suit, the man had a neat tie on. His black leather shoes were gleaming. Having worked in the hotel industry for many years, Wendy had seen her fair share of distinguished guests. Although the man's clothes had no logo, it

"Lunatic?" Larissa instinctively leaned towards Aster and shielded him with her arm. She looked around. "Where?" Wendy scanned the surroundings. The tables surrounding them were all filled with Aldovians. The lunatic she encountered at the restroom was nowhere to be found. "That's strange … " Frowning, Wendy muttered. Although their conversation wasn't soft, it wasn't that loud either. The person who overheard them should be seated close by. He should be within their range of sight. "Maybe he hasn't returned yet," Wendy guessed. Larissa was shaken by Wendy's words. She was fearful of madmen, given the rising rate of shootings. They had to be cautious everywhere they went. Worried about any potential mishaps, she told Aster in a low voice, "Eat faster, we are heading home soon." Wendy was also feeling anxious. She kept a watchful eye on their surroundings. Luckily, the lunatic didn't appear until they paid the bill and left. No one knew whether he had left or was still

"Hasn't he been calling you Daddy all this while?" Larissa pretended to not understand Kevan.Still, Kevan persisted, "You know what I mean." Larissa bit her lip and fell silent.Kevan continued sternly, "You should know how much Aster craves a father's love. Larissa, our issues should not involve Aster. He has the right to have both a father and a mother." Larissa understood everything Kevan said, but … "How are you going to explain to him your years of absence in his life? How are you going to tell him about our past? Right, and that daughter of yours. Aster doesn't like her, and vice versa. How are you going to handle the relationship between them going forward?" Larissa's questions were like landmines that stood between Kevan and Aster. Kevan paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "I have a perfect solution to all of this …"Larissa's curiosity was piqued. "What solution?" "Let's get married." "Hey! Hey!" Wendy stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Lariss

The banquet on Sunday night would start at 6 pm. Lewis picked Larissa up to prepare for the banquet at noon.The venue of the banquet was Gary's villa, which was located in Glory Hill. The collection of villas there were all owned by the rich and wealthy of Westonia. It was the most upscale real estate in that city. Before this, Larissa never had the privilege of stepping foot there. Her impression of Glory Hill came from the Internet and through various dramas. Yet, as the car drove past luxurious mansions, she realized how little she knew of Glory Hill. She couldn't even begin to imagine the lives of wealthy people here. The villas there had vast private gardens, enormous swimming pools, and unique architecture. Larissa was in awe. She had thought that the Seymour family's villa she lived in for ten years was already luxurious. Alas, it paled in comparison to the villas here. Gary was a Caldorian at heart. He designed his villa. It was charming and classical. The la

Yvette was the one who had instilled these principles within her. After being reunited with Gary, everything he did for her touched her deeply. "Alright, that's enough. Dry your tears and we will go to the next room. You need to get your hair and makeup done." Lewis gave her some tissues. Larissa's room was next to Aster's room. It was furnished in a modern style as well. In the room, a few pretty and fashionable young ladies were waiting for her on the sofa. Lewis pushed Larissa forward and said, "I brought her, now you can start your work." The young ladies stepped forward and pounced on her with sparkling eyes. Getting her hair styled was a boring and arduous process. Larissa dozed off a few times, but she was awoken by the painful tugs on her scalp. Her shoulder-length hair was dyed chestnut brown and styled in waves. Her face was made up with a thick layer of makeup. Her red lips and the mole in the corner of her eyes added to her sensuality. Surrounding her,

Gary's speech was short and sweet. It didn't exceed two minutes. Larissa was still in a daze when Lewis nudged her on the shoulder. "It's time to go down." In a hurry, she almost tripped over the hem of her gown. Lewis caught her before she fell. Holding up his fist at his lips, he whispered in a low tone, "Walk elegantly and with dignity." Larissa immediately followed the training she received. Lifting the hem of her dress, she held her head high and straightened her back. Step by step, she descended the stairs. Larissa maintained a smile as she faced dozens of intense gazes. Gary's eyes were filled with tears as she approached him. When Larissa stopped at his side, he offered his arm. She held onto him and scanned the room. Most of the guests tonight appeared to be young Caldorians. Larissa couldn't help but wonder why. Blue Star Shipping was founded and established in Aldovia. Although the company's partners were likely diverse, most of them should be middle
