Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 984
Bethany's death was still tied to Kevan. It all started from the day Cody escaped. Although Soaring Corporation had not been doing well these past few years and eventually went bankrupt, Cody had been in power for some time. He still managed to raise a few supporters.As a result, Cody got news beforehand and escaped with his luggage before the police arrived at his home. The police put out an arrest warrant, and Kevan got his people to look for Cody too. But before Cody could be found, Kevan got a phone call from Cody first.Cody's voice was harsh and arrogant. "Kevan Rogers! Your daughter is in my hands! If you want her to live, prepare 100 million in cash and a car, and park that at number 28 on Peach Lane! "Do not fucking call the police! Once I get the money and the car, I will let your daughter go!""Don't touch her." Kevan pretended to be panicked to keep Cody there. "I can do the money and the car. I just want Bethany to come back safely.""You have half the day!

In order to carry this insane amount of cash, Kevan drove a huge SUV. Of course, he informed the police of everything he did, and the police said that they would support him as best as they could.At 9:00 am, Kevan's car arrived at the gates of the resort. Although it was said to be the "gates", it was really just an arch without any doors. Anyone could easily enter and leave. There were several villas built in the resort, and they were all empty. Cody was hiding in one of them.Cody got Kevan to drive all the way to the villa area, and park the car at the entrance before putting an approximate distance of 330 feet away from the car. Kevan did as he was told, and Cody was able to see everything that Kevan did from his hiding place.After almost half an hour, Kevan only saw Cody appear from one of the villas with Bethany at knifepoint in his arms. Even though they were already 330 feet apart, the reflection of the sun off Cody's knife was really obvious. He had the knife placed

The crash was more than enough to stop the car. Moreover, as the police had rammed into Cody's car from the side, the injuries caused to the passengers were minimal.The moment Cody's car had stopped, the police got out of their cars and surrounded him."Get down, Cody Rogers!" Mr. Burton shouted again.Cody opened the door, but he did not get down. He grabbed Bethany and kept her in his arms while he stuck his knife at her neck again. "If you come closer, I'll fucking kill her!" He was so anxious that he did not care about what would happen if he threatened the police. He only cared that he could escape as soon as possible.Because Cody had a hostage, the police carefully backed away while taking out their guns. They aimed their guns at him."Cody Rogers, if you insist on fighting back, we have the right to shoot you dead!" Mr. Burton shouted.Cody was not afraid at all. He dug the knifepoint into Bethany's flesh. Bethany screamed loudly as her tears and snot spilled out of

Kevan was silent for a moment, but he was still unable to make a decision. "We'll talk about it tomorrow."…Larissa missed Aster. She only ordered two burgers at a roadside stall before telling Kevan to quickly drive to the Rogers' villa. When they got there, it was past 9:00 pm. The villa's lights were still on, and it seemed no one was asleep.Kevan did not call Violet, so when the nanny opened the door to see him, she was very surprised. "Young Mr. Rogers, why are you here at this time?"Kevan asked, "Is Aster asleep?"The nanny shook her head. "Not yet! Mrs. Rogers was not in a good mood today, so Mr. Aster stayed with her for the whole day. After they finished dinner, they went into the study to draw. They have not left the room yet."Kevan nodded. "I understand." He led Larissa upstairs to the study.Violet and Aster were both lying on the table. Both of them had paintbrushes in their hands. When they heard the door opening, they looked up together."Daddy! Mommy!" Whe

Although Aster's intentions were good, Kevan still did not send him back to Violet's to prevent her from hesitating when leaving the house tomorrow."Once Grandma has come home tomorrow, I'll send you over, okay?" Kevan told Aster.Aster forced himself to nod and say, "Okay, then."…Because he had been separated too long from Larissa, Aster kept sticking to her that night until he fell asleep. Only then did Larissa tiptoe away from him.Kevan was waiting for her in the bedroom. His upper body was bade and the blanket was pulled up to his waist. When he saw Larissa enter the room, his blank gaze lit up at once."Lari." He smiled gently, and his hoarse voice was seductive.Larissa could not help but shudder. She pretended not to hear or see anything as she walked across the bedroom to enter the walk-in closet. Kevan followed her. He wore very loose pajama pants and was not completely naked like Larissa had thought.Larissa opened a drawer and took out her underwear. Kevan

At some point, it began to rain lightly. No one brought umbrellas, so they all hurriedly ran to their cars to hide from the rain. Anthony also pulled Violet away with him. Only Kevan stood there without moving."Kevan?" Anthony turned back to call him. "Aren't you leaving?"Kevan stared at Bethany's name on the gravestone as he said softly, "I want to stay for a little while longer."Anthony knew that Kevan was feeling bad, so he did not try to change his mind. He only said, "Don't stay out for too long. The weather is not good today. The rain will only be heavier soon."After everyone had left, Kevan only stepped forward and crouched before Bethany's grave. He reached out to touch Bethany's beautifully carved name in the stone as he said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Bethany."I don't hope that you'll forgive me, but you must be happy while you're up there. If there's a next life, remember to go to a normal family and find parents who'll really love you. Goodbye."He hoped they would ne

Larissa did not forget her work even after she came back to Caldor. Of course, that was mostly because Lewis was keeping an eye on her. She contacted those clients every day and had to take time out to oversee the rebuilding of Blue Star Shipping's branch company in Bartham.The office address was picked by Kevan for her beforehand. It was right next to the Microworks Building, and it was the property of Microworks. Kevan had bought this office building previously for the sake of expanding Microwork's departments. Still, he could not use up all the floors, so he gave two floors for Blue Star Shipping.Larissa did not want to take advantage of him, so she offered to pay him rent according to the market price."Sure." Kevan did not refuse. "My money's yours anyway."As long as Larissa did not find it troublesome to transfer the money between them, it was fine.…After arranging all his matters, Kevan only informed Larissa the night before his flight. "I'm going to Westoni

"Of course I'll fucking blame you! Who else can I blame?" If Gary had been holding something, he would have thrown it at Kevan a long time ago.This fucking son of a bitch! Piece of shit! He fucking stole his precious daughter away from him without saying a damned thing!Although Gary knew that this was bound to happen sooner or later, they really did not respect him by having an affair right under his nose!Lewis hurriedly tried to soothe Gary again. "Calm down, Uncle. Be calm."Gary took several deep breaths before he managed to calm himself down. "You've dealt with all that bullshit with your family?" he asked.The main reason he prevented Larissa from being together with Kevan was because he felt that the Rogers family was too complicated. He did not want Larissa to get involved with all the stupid power struggles of the wealthy families.Gary had already heard of Soaring Corporation's bankruptcy and Cody's arrest resulting in his death from various media, but he coul
