Ella picked up where he left off. "Originally, we had another teacher accompanying the students who were in charge of specific tasks, but that teacher is on sick leave today. I was bringing the other kids to the next room to have their naps, so I could not take care of things here. That is why I did not see what happened exactly in person, and only have their words with regard to the event. To be honest, I'm the one at fault as I did not fulfill my responsibilities properly." She was very critical of herself.Larissa did not blame her though. Honestly, if Bethany had not decided to put up an act and cause trouble, nothing would have happened."How did Bethany's guardians respond to this?" Larissa asked."Well, her grandma didn't say anything and just took her away. But if her mother is aware of this incident … I'm sure she will come to our class and cause some trouble. You must be prepared." Ella looked scared, making it clear that this was not the first time it had happened."Alri

Kevan, too, received a call from Violet at work and found out about the matter between the two kids. Unlike Violet's hesitation, he did not need to think too deeply into things to know that this altercation was caused by Bethany.Although he had not met Bethany all that much during these past few years, he knew her better than Violet, who spent a lot of her time with the kid. At Violet's request and urging, he rushed to the hospital and saw Bethany wailing non-stop on the hospital bed. Her right arm was bound in bandages, likely the "scalded by hot water" wound that Violet was talking about.Violet and the nanny specifically hired to take care of Bethany were in the ward. However, no amount of soothing from them could calm her down. Kevan entered and lightly said, "Enough." and Bethany stopped at once. She stared at him with wide eyes, and she curled up into herself, trembling incessantly.She was afraid of him.Even if Kevan did not know why, he was very satisfied with her reactio

Violet had long since guessed that Kevan would never marry Ruby. He only lost his memory, but his personality had never changed. Without the wonderful memories of the past, the basis of a relationship was lost. He would only treat Ruby the same way he treated female strangers. But she thought that he would at least try to get along with Ruby for Bethany's sake. To be honest though—the current circumstances were just what Violet hoped for.She did not like Ruby. She never did. Otherwise, she would not have prevented Ruby from marrying into the family all these years."Fine," Violet agreed. "But you're still Bethany's father, you should take some time to come and see her."She loved her granddaughter and did not want her to grow up in an environment where she did not have the love of her parents."I know," Kevan replied coldly.After leaving the hospital, he went straight to Larissa's home. He received information from Dylan that Larissa had already picked Aster up from the Academy.

It was probably due to their shared similar interests, but Kevan and Aster got along very well. After that night, Aster kept talking about "Uncle Kevan", and the frequency with which he spoke of him had well surpassed "Uncle Dylan" from before.He constantly bugged Larissa to invite "Uncle Kevan" over to their place, but she would naturally reject such demands.…Bethany changed schools—just like Kevan promised.Both teachers and the guardians of the students were very happy.No one cared where she had been transferred to, and the homeroom teacher never mentioned it.…Having a rare holiday, Larissa arrived at exactly 4:30 pm at the kindergarten. She planned to pick Aster up and take him to a nearby shopping mall to watch a movie in the cinema. However, when she got upstairs, she saw a huge crowd of parents and guardians choking up the corridor leading to the classroom. Those who were at the front of the crowd were beating the door with their hands; those at the back were plaste

When they went out, they happened to meet several policemen coming in. Some parents even stopped to give them directions, and told them to head upstairs quickly."That woman is insane! She even beat up a teacher!""She's dangerous, you must detain her at once!"…Larissa hastened her pace as she did not want to get involved with this matter.…Aster was shaken up pretty badly. When he was in the car, he kept crying about how scary it was over and over again.Larissa hugged him and comforted him for a long while, finally saying that she would buy him Superman toys before succeeding in diverting his attention.…After they finished watching the movie, Larissa led Aster down to the parking lot to retrieve her car. They had come late, so there was only a spot for them far away from the elevator. They walked leisurely in that direction when a car suddenly zoomed out of nowhere and headed straight for them.Thankfully, Larissa reacted quickly. She had Aster in her arms before squee

Kevan was pretty busy these days. After his miraculous "awakening" six years later and returning to Microworks to take control once more, he'd had a never-ending stream of documents and files to look at, as well as a never-ending stream of meetings to attend.Not to mention that the new game they had been preparing for in the last two years, "Galeforce", was about to go live—this was the biggest project this year, and he was required to follow up and monitor the progress of everything related to it. He no longer remembered how long it had been since he'd had a good night's sleep.When Dylan called, he was in his office, sipping on a double shot espresso that burned his throat as he listened to the executive producer of "Galeforce", Peter Jones, report on the work progress.Kevan raised his hand to ask Peter to pause before he answered the call."I asked an associate of mine in Winston Hotel, but no one knows what happened to Larissa." Dylan said, "But it probably isn't related to w

However, gamers did not buy into it.Quite a good deal of them were disgusted by Rubik's actions, and they sold their game accounts and abandoned the game. The amount of monthly active users in this game's servers had also dropped from its original forty or so users—which was the most users they had—to the ten users they had now.Even then, this was still Rubik's most profitable game.Peter was worried that Rubik would do all the things they did again as they had managed to enjoy a small victory with their ploy from before."Galeforce" was his life's blood. He could not bear to suffer such a huge loss."The truth is, during the development of 'Galeforce', a few of our designers were contacted by Rubik's guys. They were willing to pay a high price to buy our concept, but the designers that I know have rejected them. But there might be those that I don't know about …"After all, "Galeforce" was a PC-based RPG. Rubik Corporation announced that they were going to release a PC-based R

Everyone looked over—Kevan included. The moment his gaze landed on her, his eyes widened slightly in surprise. But soon, he calmly let out a faint smile.Larissa ignored his gesture of goodwill and quickly averted her gaze to the producer next to him."Hello, Mr. Hart!" She went over and held out her hand toward him.Zack Hart knew her. When the production crew of "Time of Childhood" first came to the hotel, Larissa had personally gone to meet with him. "Ms. Seymour, hi!" He stood up and shook her hand.Their joined hands just happened to be in front of Kevan's eyes. He pressed his lips together for a couple of seconds as he forced down his displeasure and raised an eyebrow before asking, "Ms. Seymour?"Zack quickly introduced her to him. "This is Ms. Seymour, the general manager of the Winston Hotel."Kevan rose up gracefully and intercepted Larissa's hand, his eyes slightly narrowed with a teasing hint in them. "Hello, Ms. Seymour."His ever-cold hand caused Larissa to shiver.
