When she thought of this, Larissa couldn't help but say angrily, "When are you going to return the money you owe me?" Yvette had never given her much pocket money. From elementary to high school, she had only saved 10 thousand dollars. However, she had put it all in to save him when he was in the hospital. Back then, Kevan had suddenly disappeared. She went to the hospital as usual after school, but the ward was empty. There was not even a farewell note left behind. The doctors and nurses had no idea about Kevan's departure. He hadn't even completed his discharge procedures, so no one knew where he had gone. Larissa suspected that he had fled to avoid paying back the money he owed her. She even considered reporting him to the police. In the end, she chose to give up. Cooperating with the investigation would only waste her time. "How much do I owe you?" Kevan asked. Larissa extended one finger. "10 thousand dollars!" Kevan took out his phone and tapped the screen a

Larissa's body stiffened. She hadn't expected to receive such a passionate and direct confession from Kevan. Conflicting emotions surged within her. Larissa couldn't think of how to respond at that moment. She opened her mouth, but the next thing that came out of her mouth was an embarrassing question, "But what about you and Ruby?" It was rumored that Kevan loved Ruby, regardless of his marriage to her later for whatever reasons. "It's a long story. In short, I pretended to like her to make Cody believe he had a hold on me." Kevan didn't avoid the question. Cody was too naive. His simple mind couldn't match up to his grand ambitions. He thought that he finally had a hold on Kevan by taking advantage of his weakness for Ruby. From the beginning to the end, he was focused on taking Kevan down by using Ruby against him. Cody had never considered anything else. "That time when we were at Starville Hotel, you called out for her when you had a high fever … " Larissa couldn

They made reservations for dinner at a private dining restaurant. It was said that this restaurant only accepted reservations from regular customers. There was a daily limit of ten tables. Before entering the restaurant, Larissa checked her wallet sheepishly. "What's wrong?" Kevan asked when he saw the uneasy expression on her face. Larissa put on a nonchalant smile and shook her head. Dylan and Sharon had arrived ahead of them. They were already seated in the private room. Kevan held Larissa's hand and they entered the private room together. Dylan seemed to be intrigued when he saw their hands intertwined with each other. "You two …" He scrutinized Kevan's and Larissa's faces back and forth, trying to find out why they seemed so close. Kevan's expression remained calm. He maintained a reserved demeanor throughout. On the other hand, Larissa felt embarrassed under his intense scrutiny. She lowered her head to avoid his gaze. Sharon tugged on Dylan's sleeve an

Throughout the meal, Kevan piled food on Larissa's plate. Each time, Larissa accepted his help and thanked him sweetly. Conversely, Dylan and Sharon were quite the opposite. They didn't care about each other and served their own food. They almost got into an argument a few times as they fought over the food on the table. The meal ended under contrastingly different atmospheres. Kevan asked Larissa, "Where should we go now?" Blue Star Shipping and Thompson Medical had already signed the contract. Since Larissa's and Lewis' return date had not been set, there was no need to rush back to the hotel. Larissa replied, "Let's go home.""Alright." With a smile, Kevan took Larissa's bag and held her hand. He turned to Dylan and instructed, "Go home with Ms. Davis. Don't stay back and do overtime." "I'd rather work overtime at the office than go home with her!" Dylan said irritably. He couldn't help spouting unkind words due to his anger. Sharon didn't back down. "Do you t

Plans to return to Westonia were quickly arranged. Larissa stayed two nights at Kevan's home. She had arranged to meet with Lewis directly at the airport on the day of their departure. Lewis didn't ask where she had been for the past two days. He already knew the answer. However, he expressed his confusion when he saw her alone. "Isn't Aster returning with us?" In Larissa's original plans, Aster was to return to Westonia with her. However, Kevan's parents insisted on keeping him with them due to the risk of contracting the virus. Kevan had also mentioned that Cody might act erratically when forced into a corner. In the end, Larissa decided to leave Aster at the Rogers' villa which would be safer. Larissa answered, "He wants to stay back and play for a few more days. Kevan will bring him back to Westonia." Lewis went silent and didn't ask further. The plane touched down in Westonia at noon. Due to Gary's urging, Lewis had no time to get over his jetlag and went straigh

"I don't have much to do with it. It was just a coincidence that I met a friend at Thompson Medical. Turns out that she was Mr. Ackley's niece. She helped us secure the deal." Larissa didn't dare to take credit for herself. Lewis shut down his computer and muttered, "Such coincidences don't just happen to anyone." Larissa agreed, "That's true." Gary sensed the underlying meaning behind Lewis' words. "Are you saying that all of this wasn't just a coincidence?" Lewis didn't confirm nor deny it. He said vaguely, "Maybe there is another person helping us behind the scenes." Gary glanced at Larissa, who looked puzzled. He kept his thoughts to himself. "Alright, you both should go and rest now. Come home tomorrow night. The three of us will have a nice meal to celebrate." Gary stood up and waved them off. Larissa was not in a rush to go home. She had brought souvenirs from Bartham. She distributed them to her colleagues in the presidential office. Although they were not fam

Lewis was waiting downstairs for Larissa. She didn't bring her car, so he had to drive her home. Larissa asked Lewis, "Are we going to keep the collaboration with Thompson Medical a secret from everyone in the company?" "Let's keep it a secret for now. Thompson Medical's contract with their previous shipping company hasn't expired yet. We have two weeks to find out the mole's identity," Lewis replied. "Do we have to keep it a secret from Marilyn? She has been with the company for several years. Besides, she didn't need to do this sort of thing …" Larissa was perplexed. After all, Marilyn was the first person in the presidential office to be kind to her. She had also helped her deal with Judy and her gang. Although Marilyn was on the list of suspects, Larissa had never doubted her. "Don't forget, Marilyn is the most frequent visitor among the employees of the presidential office who entered Gary's office. Given the current situation, no one can be trusted," Lewis reminded he

An ungrateful person like Judy should just experience more of society's harsh realities!"What's wrong again?" Wendy strolled out of her room. She had a white mud mask applied on her face while wearing a white cotton nightgown. She scared the living death out of Larissa."Don't you have other nightgowns to wear? And your face—" Larissa leaned against the armrest of the couch as she put a hand against her pounding heart. She did not want to look at Wendy any more than she should."This nightgown is comfortable and cool." Wendy sat next to Larissa as she complained while painting her nails. "The thermostat here is too warm! It's still fucking hot even if I wasn't wearing anything while lying down.""Your body is still weak, so you must take care not to catch a cold." Larissa told Wendy off."I know my body." Wendy was not worried. "Hey—" She turned to look at Larissa as she asked randomly, "What are your … thoughts on the future?""What future? What thoughts?" Larissa did not get i
