Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 964
Lewis was so confused by Wendy's shouting then. In his memory, no one but his uncle had ever shouted at him like that. He stared at Wendy blankly before he finally came back to his senses. "Ms. Simmons, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me?"Wendy was so angry that she was shaking. "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding can there be? Could the misunderstanding be that you stole the right of succession of Blue Star away like the ungrateful son of a bitch that you are? Or, is it the fact that you kicked Larissa out of the company without giving a damn?"Although Lewis had no idea where Wendy had heard such rumors, he felt that he had the need to clear things up. "These are all misunderstandings. I have not stolen the right of succession of Blue Star, and I have not kicked Larissa out of the company. Blue Star's president is still my uncle, and the future president will only be Larissa.""Stop lying to me!" Wendy snorted at his explanation. "Larissa told me everyt

"Come here!" Lewis ordered.Grumpily, Larissa trudged over."Are you giving me an attitude?" Lewis raised an eyebrow."No." Larissa immediately smiled, wiping the frown off her face at lightning speed. "What may I do for you, dear cousin?"Lewis took a live, struggling salmon out from an ice box and brought it to her face. "Get this salmon fileted.""Agh!" Larissa was terrified of live animals like these. She hid behind him immediately, clutching at his shirt. "I was wrong, Lewis," she cried. "Don’t do this to me. I’ll be traumatized!"Lewis dragged her out coldly and forced a knife into her hands."Take your pick. Will the salmon die, or will you?" He threatened her expressionlessly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.Seeing that Lewis was hellbent on revenge, Larissa bit her lip and began whacking at the salmon on the cutting board.With a smack, the fish stopped struggling."What’s next?" she asked in a daze.He instructed calmly, "Remove the scales and slit open the st

It was a Saturday. Larissa had invited Marilyn to dinner.Larissa had picked out a three Michelin-starred restaurant, probably because this could be the last time they ever saw each other. She'd gotten a reservation through Gary's connections.They met at the entrance of the restaurant.The moment Marilyn saw Larissa, she embraced her warmly."Larissa!" Marilyn examined her face and exclaimed, "You look so much better when you're not working overtime!"Larissa smiled. "It's the makeup."This restaurant was rather particular about dress codes.Wendy had picked out a long silver dress for her. Her makeup had to match.It had taken her an hour to put it on. It was vastly different compared to her daily routine which took 10 minutes.They walked in while holding hands.Because they were both attractive and had shapely figures, they attracted the attention of many patrons."Larissa?" someone exclaimed. Larissa looked over. It was Allen sitting about ten feet away.He was proba

If Marilyn hadn't brought it up, Larissa would not have planned on introducing them to each other. They wouldn't have anything to do with each other in the future, anyway."This is Allen. He was my superior from when I worked in Winston. And this is Marilyn, my colleague and good friend."To be polite, Allen extended his hand toward Marilyn. "Nice to meet you, Marilyn.""Hello, Allen." Marilyn leaned forward, placing a hand over her chest for modesty, and shook his hand. "Correction, I'm not her colleague. I'm her ex-colleague.""What?" Allen was surprised. He looked at Larissa. "Are you switching jobs again?""Not yet." Larissa was trying her hardest to plaster a smile on her face. "I'm currently unemployed.""What does that mean?" Allen's eyes were full of bewilderment.Before leaving Winston, Larissa had told him that she was going to work in her family's company. Thus, she couldn't say that she was fired. Otherwise, he would instantly call out her bluff. Marilyn might ev

"Why did you want to give me a present so suddenly?" Marilyn asked curiously. She held her bracelet with her other hand.Larissa said honestly, "I'm going back to Caldor next week.""What?" Marilyn was shocked. "Are you really going to teach Aldovian?""I don't know. I'll think about it when I get back." Larissa smiled and made up an excuse. "I just miss home. I'm all alone here, and without work, it's a struggle.""That is true." Marilyn pursed her lips, sobering up. "Will you still come back to Westonia?" she asked."We'll see. If I find a suitable job in Caldor, I might not even come back," Larissa said."Well, what about him?" Marilyn glanced at Allen. There was mischief in her eyes. "What if he's just waiting for you to turn back?"Larissa explained in exasperation, "There's nothing between us.""Alright, alright! I get it. Nothing between you," Marilyn said, all smiles. It was obvious that she didn't think so.Because of Allen, Larissa was not looking as forward to this

Larissa was unable to sleep the entire night because of what she'd seen at the restaurant.She couldn't get Marilyn and Allen's smiles out of her head.She didn't know what they meant, but she felt like it had something to do with her.…Early the next day, Larissa received a call from Marilyn."Larissa!" Marilyn sounded anxious. "I accidentally broke the bracelet you gave me last night! Do you know if there's a place where I could get it repaired?"Larissa calmly told her the seller's address. "You can just head over. I'll let them know online.""Could you come with me, Larissa? I've never bought these types of bracelets before. I don't know what it's like to repair them. What if the owner cons me?" Marilyn was worried."I don't know, either." Larissa wasn't lying. She had never bought jewelry like this. She just thought that this was a trustworthy shop."If you're worried about it, you can put off the repairs. I'll ask about it another day and see if there are any reliable j

The glass shattered into pieces. Orange juice splattered everywhere, including her legs and her slippers."You …" Lewis looked at the orange liquid around his feet, despair written all over his face.He would have kept his mouth shut if he'd known that this would happen."What's wrong? What happened?" Wendy ran out of her room. When she saw the scene in the dining room, she was stunned. "What happened?"It was like Lewis had seen an angel. Between coughs, he spat out, "Water …"Wendy immediately understood him and ran to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water.He drank half of it in one gulp. It was only then that Lewis breathed easier.Larissa was still in shock."Is it true? That Marilyn is the traitor?"She couldn't believe her ears."But hasn't she worked at Blue Star Shipping for years? Have there been other secrets leaked to Moorewell Shipping?""Not before." After his violent choking, Lewis' voice was hoarse. "But I have proof."Larissa's heart skipped a beat. "Wha

"Oh, it's no hassle at all!" Wendy waved her hands around. "It's the least I could do."…Marilyn didn't know that Larissa had moved. Thus, Larissa had to go to her old apartment to wait for her before she came.So as to not arouse Marilyn's suspicions, Lewis drove Wendy's car. He waited in a corner.When Marilyn arrived, she called Larissa.Larissa waited around on the first floor. She acted as if she'd just walked out. She ran toward Marilyn hurriedly.Once Larissa was buckled up, Marilyn handed her a McRonald's bag. "It's still so early. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I passed a McRonald's and got you something."Larissa did not take it."Thanks, but I ate at home."Larissa didn't dare to eat something so random."What?" Marilyn was stunned. She urged, "Why don't you eat a little? It's still warm. What about some coffee?""It's okay." Larissa was determined. "I had a big breakfast. I'm pretty full.""Fine." Marilyn put the things into the backseat reluctantly.

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
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 1001
"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
