Lana's desire was admirable and worthy of respect. However, in Larissa's eyes, her sister's decision to give up everything and start anew in Covenford seemed too hasty and even impulsive. Ultimately, Larissa believed that Lana's smooth-sailing life, coupled with her lack of encounters with many setbacks, had led her to view the workplace as child's play."Finding a job isn't easy, especially for someone like you who isn't a recent graduate and lacks substantial work experience. It might be challenging to land a position in a big company," Larissa cautioned.However, Lana brushed off the concern. "Well, I can ask my friends to introduce me to job opportunities. I have quite a few friends, and they are in various industries. Besides, my main goal is to gain experience, so I don't have high salary expectations."Since Lana had made up her mind, Larissa saw no need to convince her otherwise. Lana would learn when to retreat if she faced setbacks, although she might also choose to persist.
Lana would often ask about Kevan when she lived with Larissa."Larissa, why haven't I seen you going on dates with Mr. Rogers?""Why don't you invite him to join us for a meal?""Maybe I should go back to my own room, so you can ask Mr. Rogers to come and hang out for a while?"The constant mention of Kevan made Larissa suspect that Lana had developed feelings for him.She wasn't Kevan's real girlfriend, and Lana had unilaterally broken up with Lucas. Neither Lana nor Kevan were officially in a committed relationship, so it shouldn't be a big deal even if Lana really liked Kevan.But the problem was that Lana didn't seem to care that Kevan was Larissa's "boyfriend" and kept talking about him and bringing him up in conversations. That annoyed Larissa slightly.So, Larissa deliberately said, "Yes, you will." And Lana's expression quickly turned gloomy. "You prioritize romance over sisterhood!" She half-accused Larissa in a joking manner."Yeah, you're right," Larissa replied calmly.…It
The middle-aged woman, who had been observing from inside the house, immediately reached for her phone. Meanwhile, the man threw aside whatever he was holding and forcefully shut the anti-theft door in front of Larissa. Fortunately, she swiftly stepped back, narrowly avoiding a potentially broken nose from the impact.She didn't attempt to knock on the door again. After picking up her papers from the floor, she silently stood at the doorway, patiently waiting for the police to arrive. She had no fear of the man calling the police. In fact, she wanted them to come and investigate the situation. Finally, after about twenty minutes, two young police officers leisurely arrived.They glanced at her. Even though they initially considered her the "female intruder" mentioned by the person who reported the case, their hesitation grew when they observed her calm demeanor."Are you the owner of this place?" the taller officer inquired."This is my house, but I don't know the people inside." She p
"Are you a resident here?" the taller officer asked Maria upon hearing her conversation with Larissa."Yes, I am," Maria replied as she turned and pointed at her apartment. "I live right across.""Then, do you know her?" The officer pointed at Larissa."Of course I do! We've been neighbors for over a year! I got to know her when she came over every day during the renovation," Maria clarified confidently."What if you two are colluding?" the middle-aged man questioned.Maria walked directly to the opposite apartment without uttering a word, opened the door with her keys, and called, "Honey!""Hey!" her husband cheerfully greeted. "Working overtime again today? Why are you back so late?"The middle-aged man had nothing to say after witnessing this exchange.The officer then coldly instructed the middle-aged man, "Call the landlord and have them come over for questioning."Reluctantly, the man made a call in front of everyone, putting it on speaker. Larissa immediately recognized the voic
After the police had left, the middle-aged man immediately changed his demeanor. He stood with his hands on his hips and arrogantly declared, "I don't care who owns this house. I signed the contract and paid three months' rent. I'm not going to move out before the tenancy expires!"He then slammed the door shut with no intention of discussing a resolution with Larissa. Later, Larissa called and explained the situation to the real estate agent and entrusted Dylan to send a lawyer's letter to Janine. She learned that Andrew had temporarily suspended his studies and returned to his hometown with his parents. He'd paid off his debts and hired someone to renovate a new house using the one million dollars given by Yvette. However, despite having enough money, they still greedily held onto the rent of over ten thousand dollars."People are never satisfied. They're just greedy!" Dylan twirled his pen and chuckled. "After all, who would complain about having too much money in this world?"Laris
After Larissa exchanged pleasantries with Zero's agent and assistant, she handed out snacks to each of them and asked cautiously, "Am I interrupting something?""Well, I'm not starting my livestream until 7 pm, so I'm not working yet. How could you be interrupting me?" Zero teasingly smiled as she opened a bag of chips."Well, I noticed you guys seemed to be discussing something serious earlier." That was why Larissa wasn't entirely sure if she had interrupted them."Not at all!" Zero's agent, Raina, waved her hands repeatedly. "Actually, we were gossiping."Maggie, Zero's assistant, chimed in. "Yeah, whenever we need to gossip about something, we pretend to be having a meeting."Larissa was rendered speechless. She felt like she couldn't keep up with the way young people thought nowadays. "What were you discussing, then?" she casually asked."There's a new agent, who recently joined StreamWave Studios. She seems to have a strong background. The two small anchors she manages only have
At Zero's request, Larissa stayed behind to wait for Zero to finish her livestream so they could all go for supper together. During Zero's livestream, Larissa opened the StreamWave Studios TV app on her phone and clicked on Zero's livestream. She then gifted Zero with gifts worth a thousand dollars.Almost immediately, Larissa's username appeared at the top of the phone screen in the app system notification. "Big Spender @Zero'sDaBest gifted the anchor @Zero a luxury sports car ×1!"Raina and Maggie applauded enthusiastically when they saw Larissa's username showing up, saying, "Thank you, goddess! You're the mighty goddess!"Larissa felt a bit embarrassed and asked, "Is this a new feature? I don't think it had these features before when I gifted Zero before."Raina explained, "This 'World News Broadcast' feature was introduced just over a month ago. Believe it or not, since then, there have been many more people competing to gift the anchors every day. I reckon my commission this mont
There were two skinny boys standing beside Lana, both wearing branded hoodies and jeans with meticulously groomed hair. However, their naturally slouched postures and carefree laughter exuded a familiar "loser" vibe that Larissa was accustomed to, which contrasted with her impression of a sloppy homebody live streamer.Raina immediately pulled Zero, saying, "Let's leave later." But it was already too late."Isn't that Bro Zero?" One of the boys waved at Zero. His expression was filled with arrogance and was devoid of politeness. "Sorry, Bro Zero, Dark Knight and I beat you down to third place on the gift board today. I hope you're not mad at us."Raina and Maggie were displeased with the boy's manner of speaking, and even Larissa furrowed her brows upon hearing his words.However, Zero remained indifferent. "No, you deserved it."BestM had hoped that his taunt would enrage Zero. But since nothing happened, he could only clench his teeth in frustration. Dark Knight, standing next to Bes
