"Life imprisonment?" Dylan narrowed his eyes. "That's still lenient for him!"In fact, Edmund confirmed that Cody had poisoned Old Mr. Rogers. However, Kevan didn't intend to submit that video as evidence due to suspicions of coercion during the confession."Once he's behind bars, it won't be up to him whether he lives or dies," Kevan said. He was smiling, but his dark eyes were chilly. There were plenty of hardcore criminals in prison. Fights and brawls happened at the drop of a hat. It wasn't all that uncommon for inmates to end up killing each other. Handling it wouldn't be much of a hassle. After all, individuals like those inmates wouldn't mind taking another life.Besides, there were already two members of Bernard's family in prison. Since Maria got herself into trouble today, she'd likely join them behind bars. With Cody's relatives no longer around, there would be no one to investigate the cause of his death.The matter would probably be swept under the ru

Violet looked surprised. "Wait, you haven't remarried Lari yet?"You've been constantly over there, staying for weeks at a time. "I thought you'd have it all sorted by now." Her eyes sparkled with teasing, and her tone was playfully mocking.Kevan cleared his throat, feeling somewhat uneasy. "Well, I still need to discuss it with you and Dad.""Are you telling me that you won't remarry Lari if Anthony and I disagree?" she countered. Her eyes were filled with understanding.He grew even more uncomfortable and used the act of breaking a piece of bread to avoid her gaze.His confidence waned a bit."It's not quite like that.""So, when are you planning to remarry her?" She paused and focused on their conversation."We'll wait until the situation in the country improves a bit. I plan to have the wedding here, but I haven't discussed it with Larissa yet.""You haven't talked about it yet?" She sounded anxious. "Don't tell me you're rushing into this without careful considerat

"Oh, really? I haven't noticed." He struggled to maintain a calm facade.Violet retorted with a touch of annoyance, "Of course, you haven't!" "When was the last time you dug out those childhood photos I took of you and looked at them? "I bet you don't even remember what you looked like as a child."This was actually true.Violet remembered something else and asked, "Oh, by the way, is Lari coming over later?""She probably won't. How about you give her a call?" He lowered his head in thought before looking up with a mischievous glint in his eyes.Violet knew exactly what her son was thinking, having carried him for nine months. Since she had been missing seeing Larissa around, she might as well play along with his plan."Let's wait until tonight. She's probably working right now," she suggested.… However, Violet's guess was incorrect.Once the driver had dropped off Larissa and Lewis at the hotel, he left them with some parting words, "Mr. Ackley mentioned that the two

Kevan handed the phone over to Violet deliberately."Lari, are you done with your work?" Violet was extremely enthusiastic. Startled, Larissa took some time to reply, "Mrs. Rogers, I don't have work today." "That's perfect! Hurry up and bring Lari over for dinner! You will be just in time for a meal at home!" Violet urged Kevan.Kevan's voice could be heard through the phone as he spoke helplessly, "Mom, Lari hasn't agreed to come yet." "Oh, right! Lari, are you coming for dinner?" Violet asked Larissa's opinion after she was reminded by Kevan. In fact, Larissa didn't really want to travel that far. In addition, it was a little awkward to deal with Kevan's parents. However, since they had already spoken, she couldn't refuse their request directly. It would make them feel bad."I'll go," she said sweetly. "Did you hear that? Hurry up! Don't waste time!" Violet punched Kevan triumphantly and handed the phone back to him. The collaborating party had booked rooms in the

As soon as the door was opened, Violet sprang up from the sofa and hurried over. Larissa entered the house first. When she looked up, the first thing she saw was Violet's joyful face. Taken aback, Larissa greeted Violet immediately, "Mrs. Rogers!" "Hi!" Violet took some house slippers from the shoe cabinet and helped Larissa put them on. After that, she then looked her up and down. "Lari, you've lost weight!" Violet exclaimed, her eyes shimmering with tears. Larissa laughed awkwardly and looked to Kevan for help. Violet's reaction was too much for her to handle. She didn't know how to comfort her. "That's enough." Kevan interrupted the emotional moment. He grabbed Larissa's hand from his mother's and held it in his palm. "She would rather lose weight than gain it." He wasn't wrong in saying that, it's just that he was too blunt. Larissa didn't dare to agree and forced a dry laugh. Kevan handed some tissues to Violet and said, "Today is a happy occasion. You shouldn't spoi

After a warning from Kevan, Kevan's parents seemed a little dejected, but they didn't show it in front of Larissa. Dinner was already prepared. This was one of the rare times when Violet cooked dinner personally. After asking Kevan about Larissa's preferences, Violet had prepared all her favorite dishes. During dinner, Violet kept piling dishes on Larissa's plate. Her plate was almost never empty. Larissa and Kevan went for a walk in the courtyard after dinner. Aster also wanted to join them, but Violet kept him indoors. The Rogers' villa was located in the suburbs, surrounded by a cluster of other villas. There were no tall buildings or constant traffic. One could smell fresh air in the courtyard. Looking up, there was a clear night sky with twinkling stars that were not visible in the bustling city. "It will be nice to live here when we get old," Larissa commented. Kevan curled his lips into a smile when Larissa hinted at their future together. "Yes, we will live wh

Kevan's heart thumped violently in his chest. He took a step forward and embraced her. Burying his face in her shoulder, he said in a hoarse and muffled voice, "Lari." Kevan had so many things he wanted to say to her, but he was afraid that expressing his true emotions would scare her away. In the end, he half-threatened her jokingly. "You can never escape from me for the rest of your life." Larissa hadn't even considered running away. She hugged him back tightly. Before Larissa could tease him about it, she caught sight of Kevan's parents and Aster out of the corner of her eye. They were watching them eagerly through the window with expressions of interest on their faces. Startled, Larissa pushed Kevan away. In her haste, she bumped into his arm. Kevan took a sharp breath and a look of pain flashed across his face. Larissa didn't have time to reprimand the three of them for spying. She rushed to support Kevan. "What's wrong?" she asked, scanning his arm for any sig

Kevan's left arm was wrapped in a thin bandage. Due to his loose sweatshirt, no one could tell that he was injured. Larissa watched as he unwrapped the bandage. There was a wound approximately four inches long on his arm. Kevan had already treated and disinfected the wound with alcohol. It had scabbed over and stopped bleeding, so it didn't look terrifying. Still, Larissa's heart ached as she touched the area around Kevan's injury. She bit her lower lip to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes. Kevan only meant to evoke her sympathy, not to make her cry. "It's a minor cut. I'll be fine in a couple of days." Kevan removed his arm from her grasp and rewrapped the bandage. Larissa looked into his eyes and advised earnestly, "Please don't do this again in the future. If things can be resolved by calling the police, you don't need to handle it personally." It was fortunate that Maria was a weak woman and couldn't inflict much harm on him. What if Kevan were to encounter
