Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 949
"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

However, Larissa was called back into Lewis' office once again. What surprised her was that Gary was there too, and he looked just as grim as Lewis. This weird atmosphere made Larissa nervous. She carefully closed the door but she did not move her hand away from the door handle."What's … wrong with you two?"She looked at both men very nervously—the moment there was something, she would totally run away without looking back."Relax, we're not getting you to go on blind dates," Lewis spoke.Larissa sighed in relief. She went over to sit next to Gary and asked, "So, something's up with the company again?""I just got a call …" Lewis glanced at Larissa. "It's that friend from Moorewell who called in the morning. He said that Judy got fired because she had completed the mission that Moorewell had given her.""Mission? What mission?" Larissa did not understand. "Her mission was already completed, so why was she still fired by Moorewell?""Reportedly, she has a spy in the company. Th

"What else can you do other than pour coffee for Mr. Logan Senior?" Larissa asked her.Marilyn's work was related to Gary only—she was in charge of some of his personal matters during working hours and arranging his schedule for the day.Before Blue Star Shipping had all these issues, Gary's routine was regular. He would get off work on time every day. The company's partners knew about this, so they would not make any calls after working hours.Therefore, to Larissa, Marilyn had no reason to work overtime."Hey!" Marilyn glared as she grumbled. "I can do more than that, you know! Don't look down on me! I can totally just—" She grinned slyly. "Pour more coffee for Mr. Logan Senior."…They worked overtime until 9:00 pm. Larissa concentrated on her own work and did not pay attention to what Marilyn was doing. She vaguely remembered Marilyn getting up a few times to bring coffee to Gary's office.Finally, Gary was off work. He stopped in front of Marilyn and said to her, "You don

Lewis had a suitcase he specifically used for business trips. There were a few sets of clothes inside and some daily necessities. He always put this suitcase in his car, so he could leave at any time for any last-minute business trips.Now, this suitcase was serving its purpose.Larissa arranged for Lewis to stay in another guest room. It was just next door to Wendy's. Wendy had met Lewis a few times. Although they were not "familiar" with each other, they were not complete strangers either.Wendy had nothing against Lewis coming. She also did not think that her life would be impacted as well. After all, Lewis and Larissa usually left early and came home late. They spent very little time with her at home."Have you guys had dinner?" Wendy asked Lewis and Larissa before Lewis entered the guest room to clear it up for himself.Lewis and Larissa had worked overtime and had just gotten home now. They had no time to eat at all."Is there anything else left to eat here?" Larissa had no

"Alright." Lewis picked up the spoon and ate some lasagna. "Wendy's cooking is not bad." He praised her sincerely. "Everything is well cooked but not mushy. It's better than the one you made last time."Last time during the steak dinner, Larissa had made some lasagna too. But she did not do it well and the dish turned mushy. A light poke with a fork destroyed it very easily.Lewis took another mouthful of lasagna before he remembered. "Help me thank her."Larissa was not happy due to Lewis' praise of her friend and criticism of her. She refused angrily. "Go tell her yourself! I'm not a fucking messenger you can just order around!"…Wendy woke late, so the caretaker came late every day too. Larissa could not wait for the caretaker to come and make breakfast, and The house had no food, so she could only go out and eat with Lewis.She went to the McRonald's nearby the company and ordered two takeaway set meals. After she went upstairs, she sent one to Lewis' office. When she came o

Judy and her lawyer arrived at the presidential office at 2:50 pm. They came rather ostentatiously, and they did not avoid anyone when they passed by the public office. Judy even clicked her high heels very, very, loudly.Compared to when she left Blue Star, Judy's complexion looked better. Her clothes were more expensive than before, and she did not look like someone who was feeling anxious and worried about the large amount of compensation money that she needed to pay for.When she passed by Larissa's workplace, Judy stopped and took off her sunglasses. She asked, "Is Mr. Logan Junior here?" Her voice was amazingly friendly.However, when Larissa looked up, she saw Judy rolling her eyes at her. No one else could see it except for Larissa herself. Larissa had not yet figured out what the hell was going on, but she replied calmly, "Yes, he's here.""Thank you." Judy put on her sunglasses again and led her lawyer with her into Lewis' office."Mr. Logan Junior." As Judy ha

Wendy said, "You have to walk faster than this, Larissa! It's almost time! Your husband can't wait!""Alright!" Larissa quickly gathered up her skirts and followed her.The sun was out.Its golden rays shone softly on the red carpet through the rose petals.Larissa suppressed her desire to stay here for a little while longer and quickly walked toward the end.It was the door to the glass hall.Gary held Aster's hand and his cane in the other, waiting for her at the entrance.When he saw her, Aster immediately let go of Gary's hand and rushed toward her. "You're so pretty today, Mommy!"Larissa patted his head and smiled gently. "Thank you."Aster was her flower boy. Like Gary, he was wearing a tuxedo with a little bowtie.He was holding a basket that was proportionate to his body. In it were rose petals of various colors and shapes.The music suddenly began playing.Gary walked up to her and extended his arm toward her. "Let's go."He looked at her with a smile, his eyes g

Gary and Lewis left Bartham after two days.Blue Star did not give them time off. They couldn't stay for long.Larissa's holidays were coming to an end as well. Half of the time, she was in the Rogers' villa.Because of the pandemic, most of the shops weren't open yet. She slept and ate at home most of the time and accompanied her family. It was quite nice.After the holidays, Kevan and Larissa went back to work.Aster was sent to the kindergarten that he'd been to before. Violet was the one who drove him to and fro.In fact, in order to better take care of him, the parents moved out of Rogers' villa and bought a house in Kevan and Larissa's neighborhood.The days passed in the blink of an eye.Blue Star's company in Bartham was quickly built. Lewis sent over a few loyal and trained employees to hold the fort with Larissa and hired people according to the company's needs. The company was soon on the right track, and the headquarters' work was moved over.Larissa grew busier an

Violet had set aside Larissa's breakfast for her.Larissa ate with reddened cheeks. Kevan and Aster, who had been waiting for her, got up at the same time. Violet brought out a boxful of pie from the kitchen."Don't forget this." She put the box in Kevan's hands."Alright. Thanks, Mom." Kevan looked at Larissa and asked, "Can we go now?"Larissa wanted to ignore him, but in front of Violet, she couldn't express her emotions right now."Yes," she replied, pulling Aster toward her. She said goodbye to Violet and strode out the door.Kevan smiled in slight annoyance and followed suit.…Kevan had told Aster beforehand that they were going to see Great-Grandpa. Thus, all of Aster's questions on the way there revolved around him."Why is great-grandpa called 'Great-Grandpa'?""Is he Grandpa's dad?""Is Great-Grandpa fierce?""If he's dead, how is he going to eat the pie?"…Kevan patiently answered all of his questions.Meanwhile, Larissa looked out the window silently.Keva

Since Larissa had gone downstairs alone, it was natural to expect a few questions."Where's Kevan? Why isn't he coming down with you?""Where's Daddy? He said he would launch fireworks with me."Larissa walked over calmly and made up an excuse. "He's tired, so he showered and slept."The older people did not doubt her. Only Lewis stared at her thoughtfully."Oh … Why did Daddy sleep so early?" Aster pouted in disappointment."You can get him to launch fireworks with you tomorrow. It'll be the same." Larissa patted his head, keeping a calm expression on her face.Anthony and Violet gave the gifts they'd prepared to Larissa and Aster.Violet looked at them, tears falling down her cheeks."I have no regrets now," she said."Thank you, Mom." Larissa gave her a big hug.Violet was stunned, and she cried harder."Good girl." She hugged Larissa back, smiling widely.After Anthony and Violet, Gary and Lewis gave them their gifts. However, they were calm. Aster was so happy that he

"Happy Reunion Day!"For some reason, Larissa's eyes became a little moist. Her voice even sounded a bit choked up."What's wrong?" Kevan nervously held her face, urging her to meet his gaze. "Didn't you like the fireworks just now?"She shook her head. "No, I really liked them!""Then, why are you crying?" Kevan couldn't stand seeing her cry; it tugged at his heart."I'm just very moved."She buried her face in his chest, speaking emotionally, "Welcoming the big family reunion dinner with the person you love is wonderful."The corners of Kevan's mouth gradually curved up as he heard what she said.The hand around her waist tightened inch by inch."I love you too, Lari."He lowered his head and planted a kiss on the top of her head.She hurriedly pushed him away as she sensed his body's response. But she couldn't move him much."They're still waiting for us downstairs!" she reminded him.Lewis knew she was awake, and the fireworks were already over. If they stayed he

It was a rare occasion to have the entire extended family gathered together like this for the big family reunion dinner. In the evening, everyone was in high spirits, having enjoyed a bit of alcohol. Violet took advantage of the festive atmosphere and insisted that Gary and Lewis stay.Since Larissa woke up early after a day without proper rest, she was already feeling quite sleepy even though the reunion dinner TV celebration had just begun.Violet was understanding and told her to go to bed.Larissa tried to muster her energy to stay up."No, I'll at least wait until after midnight."She wasn't someone who adhered to rituals or traditions.In previous years, she wouldn't have stayed up late specifically to welcome the big family reunion dinner day.But this year was different.She had the companionship of her family.She was no longer a drifting, rootless plant in a foreign land.Kevan furrowed his brows slightly and gave her a gentle push."You should get some sleep.

Larissa recalled that there was indeed such an incident.However, Kevan's excuse to her was that he needed to go to Westonia to handle matters concerning Edmund."Kevan knows how the customs work better than you! You're not even married. Yet, you're already taking his side!"Gary scoffed.His displeasure was quite obvious.Larissa chuckled awkwardly, then decided to come clean and reveal the whole truth. "Well, the truth is, Kevan and I never actually got divorced. I married him over six years ago."Gary hadn't heard this from Kevan.So, his emotions seemed conflicted upon first hearing that. He clutched his chest. It was as if he were experiencing some discomfort.Larissa and Lewis quickly approached him, asking with concern, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"In a sudden change of demeanor, Gary used his other hand to playfully tap Larissa's forehead.His expression instantly returned to normal. However, the tap was quite forceful, causing Larissa to wince in pain."If yo

Larissa had to pick up Gary and Lewis early tomorrow morning. So, after having dinner, she returned to her room to freshen up and get ready for bed. As she lay down on the bed, she found herself tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.Kevan had just managed to put Aster to sleep before coming into the room. He noticed that the lights were still on.He furrowed his brow and asked, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"Larissa lifted the blanket and sat up abruptly. "I'm feeling very anxious right now," she admitted.Her hair was in disarray.There was a troubled expression on her face."Anxious about what?" Kevan inquired."Well, my dad is coming over tomorrow. What if he doesn't get along with your parents?" The mere thought of that possibility gave her a headache."Uncle Gary is a reasonable person. He won't easily give anyone a hard time," Kevan defended Gary.His words brought a smile to Larissa's face. "Are you saying he hasn't been gi

"Alright, then. We shall head out." Larissa gathered her belongings and pulled Kevan toward the exit."I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning. It's almost the big family reunion dinner day. "So, it's hard to find a cab on the road. You might even find yourself waiting for half a day without coming across an empty cab."Gary didn't refuse. Instead, he requested, "Then, you come alone tomorrow."Her steps hesitated a moment, and she sighed inwardly. Gary really hadn't changed."Alright," she agreed.…As soon as they closed the door, Larissa began complaining to Kevan, "I thought my dad had really come around! Turns out, he still has reservations about you!"Kevan tightened his grip on her hand and smiled."Take it slow; there has to be a gradual process."He didn't expect Gary to change his attitude overnight. But as long as things were moving in a positive direction, he was content.She shrugged upon hearing that."Well, it's not me who's being wronged here; it's y
