Kevan's gaze suddenly focused on her wrists, and Larissa followed his gaze. Only then did she discover the dark red marks from Dorian's grip on her earlier. The marks were obvious due to how fair her skin was.Kevan's gaze darkened, and it was a little sinister how dark it got.Larissa shuddered involuntarily as he took two steps forward, grabbing her arm to raise it. He then asked in a low voice, "Cole did this?"Larissa did not need to lie. "Yeah."Biting his lip, Kevan asked again, "Does it hurt?"Larissa's mind went blank as she found herself captivated by his mesmerizing eyes. In a daze, she replied, "Yeah." Her voice was soft with a hint of hurt. It sounded very much like she was trying to seek attention from him. When Larissa came back to her senses, she was chagrined. What on earth had she done?Kevan's eyes narrowed, and the cold aura coming from him grew heavier. He pushed her onto the sofa and retrieved a first aid kit to treat her wrists. While he was applying some so

StreamWave …It was clearer and clearer who the culprit was.As for why it was an operational computer … Lana was probably afraid they might trace it back to her. But this diversion was useless as the only person in StreamWave who had a connection to Reuben was her."Did the police find Lana yet?""They did, but Lana denied it. She said that Reuben was framing her. There isn't any direct evidence to prove that she's the one using the account, so the police can't do anything about her."One was innocent until proven guilty. Even if everyone knew what was up, no one could punish her with the law, not to mention that Lana's plan was well-considered.Reuben tried to provide his chat history with her to prove that he was telling the truth, but he could not produce his phone. Even after he had turned the hotel room upside down, there was no sign of his phone.Based on his memory, he never used his phone again after Lana got someone to deliver the camera.The police promptly requested

Kevan was not marginalized because of that. On the contrary, everyone wanted to curry favor with him.Dylan knew that once Kevan had decided on something, no one could convince him to give up. Either way, he still tried and did exactly what a good friend would have done. This was as far as he could go.But there was one more thing …"Why am I the one to remind Sharon? It's not like you don't have her phone number!" Dylan lost his temper.Kevan said lightly, "She's your fiancée, not mine. If you don't want to remind her, then forget it. I won't even need to give out the timeframe of half a month, which is even better."Without waiting for Dylan to react, Kevan ended the video call.Dylan was so mad that he was gritting his teeth and shouted several strings of profanity. He sulkily called Sharon's number after he had calmed down.…The next day at work, Larissa was summoned by the general manager. He was waiting for her in his office, rubbing his hands with an unnatural smile on
Chapter 249
Larissa left Jay's room, fully aware that she might face termination by the general manager. However, she was not afraid of this outcome. Jay might have the power to cost her job, but he was not able to do whatever he liked in Covenford.With her credentials and skills, finding another job in the industry wouldn't be difficult for Larissa. Surprisingly, the whole afternoon passed without any communication from the general manager.Larissa did not know if it was because Jay had not complained about her or if he did complain and the general manager chose to overlook the matter.But regardless of whichever it was, she did not care.…Not long after she clocked out, Larissa received a phone call from Zero, whom she had not met for a long time."My Lady Luck, you free tonight? You cool with supper?"Zero rarely called her out for a hangout, so Larissa could not find it in herself to refuse her."Sure. Send me the address."Supper was at a Southern-style diner that sold greasy foo

StreamWave was the exclusive platform for live-streaming the competition, so both parties would be collaborating closely. If StreamWave requested a favor from them, the organizers would be obligated to comply."Raina already asked. They said there's a limit to the total number of participants, and they've already arranged the competition schedule, so they can't forcibly stick in an extra person." Zero let out a long sigh before pushing an extra serving of steak toward Larissa. "Do eat more, Larissa! Let's enjoy the meal and stop thinking about such sad things!"…Larissa spent nearly two hours with Zero. When they emerged from the diner, they were pretty much stuffed."Huh? Isn't that Lana?" Zero exclaimed as she tugged on Larissa's down jacket's sleeve.Following where her finger was pointing, Larissa saw Lana and a man entering the high-end restaurant across the street. She did not get a good look at the man's face due to how dark it was, but she was sure that it was not Lucas.

"I saw Lana today." Larissa spoke very slowly, and her voice was hesitant.Before speaking, she was unsure if she should tell him about what happened tonight. However, she also felt that if Lana was really going to jump ship, StreamWave should be informed in advance to be prepared. Otherwise, the two participation spots given to her small anchors would be for naught.Kevan misunderstood her though. "She tried looking for trouble with you?" His eyes glinted dangerously, and his voice was sinisterly cold."No, no." Larissa quickly waved her hands. "I saw her, but she didn't see me."Kevan's coldness vanished at once. "So?" In the end, he was as calm as he was before.Larissa licked her lips. "She was eating with someone from LuminoLive. That guy tried to recruit Zero before …"She broke off at this point, and Kevan picked up where she left off. "So you think that he wants to recruit Lana too?"Larissa nodded minutely.Kevan recrossed his legs, his face remaining unchanged. "Lana

The heat permeated through the thin fabric and warmed Larissa's palm. It was so intense that it bordered on scorching, making her take shallow breaths in response."You … I …" Larissa started to become incoherent. Her tongue seemed to be all twisted up, and she could not utter a complete sentence at all.She curled up her fingers in an attempt to escape the source of the heat.Kevan grunted before taking a deep breath. "Larissa." He did his best to control himself, just barely forcing himself to speak in a hoarse voice. "I'm a normal man." He gazed at her with red eyes.The kiss on his neck appeared in Larissa's mind, and the smell of the thick Chanel 5 perfume seemed to surround Larissa at that moment."Don't you have a lover out there?" Jealous words escaped her as the fluster from before vanished entirely. She pressed her lips tightly together, and a faint hint of anger could be seen in her eyes.Kevan froze for a moment before a mischievous smile appeared on his face. "Are yo

As they were about to leave, Larissa noticed that Kevan had packed a portion of breakfast with him."It's for Dylan," he explained.After dropping Larissa off at the hotel, Kevan sent a WhatsApp text to Dylan. "Come to my office later. I've brought you breakfast."Dylan sent back several lines of question marks. "Has the sun risen from the west today?" he asked.Kevan snorted coldly. "If you don't want it, that's fine." He tossed his phone onto the passenger's seat and started the car again. As he drove, his phone kept vibrating with notifications. When he finally had a moment to look, he saw that the screen was filled with Dylan's responses."DONNN'T!""I'M SORRY!""MR. ROGERS!!""I'm sorry, okay???""You're the kindest fucking angel on this earth!""You're my role model for life!""I'm at your office, sir!""Ready to welcome you at any moment, sir!""Don't panic, and drive safely!""Much love and kisses!"When he imagined the last four words coming out of Dylan's mouth
