Wendy hurried away before Kevan had the chance to awaken Larissa. She ran all the way to the elevator.In fact, she did have an appointment with the doctor for a checkup. Still, that was scheduled in the afternoon. She went out without Larissa's and Kevan's knowledge for another important matter. Having lived and worked in Westonia for almost ten years, Wendy had built up a small network of friends. Although it wasn't extensive, it was sufficient for what she needed. After inquiring from her friends, she found out that Edmund was receiving treatment at the hospital. He was heavily injured after being brought to the police station. She also had someone speak to an officer in charge of this case. Wendy was granted 15 minutes to speak with Edmund as a family member of the patient. Wendy thought that Edmund fought back during the process of being arrested. So, it wasn't surprising that he sustained some injuries. When she saw his body wrapped in bandages from head to toe, it

Wendy was taken aback. "What do you mean?" Edmund looked up and gazed into Wendy's eyes. "There's actually something I have never told you." Wendy's heart almost stopped. She had a hunch that what Edmund was about to say had something to do with Larissa and Kevan. Wendy had overheard their conversation outside the study last night. That was why she had rushed to meet Edmund. She was eager to know the truth and not be the only person kept in the dark. "Kevan is my cousin. Our fathers are brothers." At this moment, Wendy suddenly felt foolish. Edmund and Kevan had the same surname. They also looked a little similar. Still, she never once connected the two together. "Then?" She fidgeted with the hem of her clothes. Edmund put on a sorrowful expression. "After my grandfather died, he left the company to my elder brother. Since then, Kevan held a grudge against both of us. He saw us as a target and oppressed us. "When he found out that we got together, he had s

Of course, Wendy knew that she wasn't Kevan's fiancée.Still, Kevan's fiancée … When had Edmund ever kidnapped Larissa before?This unexpected news left Wendy stunned at the spot. "Wait a moment, let me call my friend." After recovering from the shock, she took out her phone with trembling hands. The officer gestured for her to go ahead. Wendy stumbled out of the office and found a quiet spot in the corridor. Leaning against the wall, she dialed Larissa's number. "Wendy? Are you done with your check-up?" Larissa's voice was heard at the other end of the call. "Not yet. I …" Wendy's throat tightened up. She wanted to demand an explanation from Larissa about the situation. Still, Wendy hesitated when she remembered what Edmund had said to her at the hospital. It wasn't that she didn't believe the years of friendship between her and Larissa. She did not doubt Kevan's character either. Still, it was public knowledge that the Rogers family were at odds with each othe

He was almost a head taller than her. Every time they got close, she found it difficult to converse with him. "It's a gynecology clinic! There's no reason for a man like you to be there!"Kevan retorted confidently, "Are there no men who accompany their wives to that clinic?" "Are you going there to accompany your wife, then?" Larissa asked. "Yep." Kevan nodded with amusement in his eyes. Larissa blushed under his intense gaze. She pushed him away in embarrassment. "In any case, you are not allowed to go!" Kevan tried to compromise. "Let me send you to the entrance. I won't go in, what do you think?" Seeing as Larissa was going to reject him once more, he added, "You just had an incident. I'm worried about you." It was evident that he was concerned. Moreover, he had already adopted a lower stance. If it weren't for Wendy's strict instructions to not tell Kevan, Larissa would have given in to his persuasion. "That won't work either. Wait at home. We will return soon

Wendy anticipated that Larissa would be angry.Alas, she didn't expect her to be so furious. Startled by Larissa's reaction, Wendy spilled half of the coffee in her cup. As the cafe was heated, Wendy was only wearing a thin shirt. The scalding coffee that splashed on her left an unsightly mark on the beige fabric. Wendy took a sharp breath. She set the cup down as tears welled up in her eyes. She dabbed vigorously at the stain with a napkin. Fortunately, there weren't many people in the cafe. The customers were sitting far apart, so no one paid them any attention. Only some of the waiters who walked back and forth glanced at them with puzzled looks. Although she was still angry, Larissa couldn't help feeling sorry for Wendy when she burst into tears. "Why are you crying?" Larissa demanded, but her tone had softened. Tears continued rolling down Wendy's cheeks but she didn't say a word. Feeling drained, Larissa leaned back into the sofa. "You wanted to talk to me, r

"What did you say? Edmund pursued you?" Wendy couldn't believe her ears. Larissa nodded. "Not many people knew about this. I haven't been using that number in a long time, so I can't show you the messages that he sent me. You can choose whether to believe me or not." Wendy remained silent. Larissa couldn't help feeling disappointed. Larissa never thought that her years of friendship with Wendy could be outweighed by a scumbag whom she had known for less than two months. "Edmund didn't fall in love with you at first sight. He got close to you with ulterior motives. "He wanted to use you to blackmail me and Kevan. This was so that he could gain control of Soaring Corporation and secure wealth for his family." Although Larissa's words were true, the truth sounded harsh to Wendy's ears. "How do you know that he couldn't have fallen in love with me? How can you be sure that he truly doesn't love me? Larissa, stop overestimating yourself! "Will you ever stop thinking that the

Larissa picked up the bottles one by one and held them in her arms. "Do you want some?" she asked, looking up at Kevan. Kevan took all the bottles from her arms and left her only with a case of beer. "You can have this," he said."Hey!" Larissa was already in a bad mood. Now that Kevan had ruined her plans of getting drunk, she felt even more irritated. She reached out to snatch the whiskey back from him. Kevan dodged and kept her at arm's length by flicking her forehead. "Listen to me, or I'll take away the beer too," Kevan said sternly. Larissa hid the cans of beer behind her and glared at Kevan. Staring at the whiskey in his arms, she gritted her teeth. "Fine." Larissa sat on the ground with her back against the sofa. She had a can of beer in one hand and a freshly grilled drumstick that Kevan had made in the other. "I feel so miserable." She took a bite of the drumstick, smearing oil on her lips. Frowning, Kevan leaned over and wiped the oil from her mouth. "

"It's too late to wait for him to go to jail!" Larissa slammed the beer can on the ground, splashing alcohol all over her clothes. Kevan felt a headache coming on. On the other hand, Larissa seemed oblivious. Although she was already drunk, she grabbed the can of beer and took another big gulp. "Wendy has been brainwashed by him, don't you know that?"She turned to Kevan and grabbed his collar with her oily fingers. She left five oily marks on Kevan's white shirt. "Wendy's been brainwashed by him! She doesn't believe in me now! She said that I'm a liar and that I disgust her!" Larissa gripped his collar and shook him. Remembering Wendy's hurtful words, Larissa's heart ached. Kevan finally realized the gravity of the situation. Clapping his hands on her shoulders, he forced Larissa to calm down. "What did Edmund tell Wendy?" he asked with a frown. "Can you believe it? Edmund actually turned the story upside down! He told Wendy that I deliberately broke them up!
