"Yvette's in the ward next door. And Kenneth said that he can't bear to stay in Cosmic any longer," Dylan sighed softly.These two things did not affect Kevan too much. "What happened to them?" he asked with a frown."Yvette went to Cosmic to cause trouble today. Kenneth tried to stop her a bit, and she slapped him. After that, Xavier beat the shit out of her, so she ended up getting hospitalized. It seems to be pretty bad." The moment he heard that Yvette was hospitalized, Dylan immediately got someone to find out what had happened. But because their plant, Kenneth, had left Cosmic in advance, no one could get a precise result but only a speculated one."Yvette still hasn't woken up. The police came once in the afternoon, and they left without getting any info."With how severely injured Yvette was, she could not threaten Larissa's safety. The alarm in Kevan's heart vanished at once, and he relaxed. "I will have someone keep an eye on the ward next door." He would be able to know

Larissa did not know how many times she had come to and left Bartham Airport. The weirdest thing about it was that whenever she was here, her mood would become strangely grave—it was as if she had gone back to that fateful day when she left Caldor six years ago."Time to go." When it was almost time to board the flight, Lewis helped Gary up before reaching out to grip the handles of the wheelchair."Okay." Feeling the wheelchair move, Larissa put away all her nonsensical thoughts and gripped the phone that Kevan forced into her hand last night tightly.Gary was walking next to her, and he saw that phone. Snorting coldly, he sneered. "We're about to leave, and he doesn't even want to come see us off!"He had not named the subject in his words, but Larissa knew who he was complaining about. She flipped the phone over, and the screen lit up because of her actions—there was still no word from him. Larissa pressed her lips tightly together, and the empty hole in her heart felt cold.Ga

"You've been following me for so long, and yet, you're still so useless." Xavier sneered and cast a disdainful glance at Ian while leisurely puffing on his cigar. "I'll handle this matter. Just keep your mouth shut, and don't go around talking about it," Xavier said confidently.Ian immediately felt relieved with Xavier's assurance but hesitated a little before speaking again, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Seymour, there's still no progress with Kenneth …" Xavier's expression changed upon hearing that, and he slammed the table hard. "How dare he show us attitude when we're being gracious to him."Ian trembled with fear and quickly explained, "He said that his pride was hurt when madam, I mean, Yvette slapped him. He can't swallow his pride.""That damn bitch!" Xavier's anger shifted back to Yvette. "I regret not killing her!"Ian kept his head down, standing quietly at the side, afraid to say anything that might provoke Xavier. It took a while for Xavier to calm down."Go find Kenneth

Lately, Xavier had been incredibly swamped as he attended one dinner party after another. The organizers of these parties ranged from bosses of entertainment companies, agents, actors, and of course, major investors, who were eager to impress him and gain his favor.That night, he was being entertained by a B-list female star. After wining and dining, it was a no-brainer that they booked a hotel room together. Just as they had removed their clothes and gotten cozy in the bedroom, the door was pounded on violently."Open up! Police!" Xavier's buzz vanished in an instant.The female star, who was clinging to him like an octopus just moments ago, freaked out. She pushed him away and scrambled to put on her clothes. Xavier grabbed his underwear, shook with nerves as he got dressed, and put on his slippers before cautiously approaching the door.He placed his hand on the doorknob and cautiously peered through the peephole—there stood several tall men in police uniforms standing outs

The officer behind the wheel hit the gas pedal, while the one in the passenger seat casually turned around and asked Xavier, "Do you have your phone with you?"Xavier became alert and countered, "What do you need it for?""We want you to call Chief Hanson!" The officer chuckled. "You can use mine if you don't have it." As he spoke, he pulled out his own phone and handed it over."There's no need! I've got mine! Take it from my right pocket!" Xavier was used to giving orders. So, instinctively, he also used an assertive tone even when talking to the officer.The officer wasn't bothered by Xavier's tone. Instead, he fetched the phone and handed it to him.Xavier dialed Chief Hanson's number. However, within seconds, he heard a cold, mechanical voice saying, "The person you called is unavailable. Please try again later." No matter how many times he tried, the result was still the same.The young officer sitting on Xavier's right side, who had handed him the phone, kindly reminded hi

The news of Yvette's hospitalization due to her injuries garnered significant media attention. The reporters went all out, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to uncover the truth. So, when the news spread that Xavier was the culprit, the media exploded with overwhelming coverage. Numerous social media accounts jumped on the bandwagon, dishing out "insider information." They used the statements from other Cosmic Studios employees to fabricate reasons for Xavier's attack on Yvette. Some even went so far as to create detailed recreations of the incident, turning this sensational news that spanned society and entertainment into a top headline.Xavier naturally couldn't evade the consequences of the law, with charges of "intentional assault" and "kidnapping" being slapped against him. Furthermore, even though Ian turned himself in leading to a reduced sentence, he still faced two to three years behind bars.At this moment, Cosmic Studios found itself in utter disarray, with no one

The housekeeper, who used to greet Lana with a fake smile and flattery, now had a stern expression. He coldly informed her, "Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Senior are not at home."Lana noticed the change in the housekeeper's attitude, but she didn't think much of it. She merely assumed that he was slacking off because her grandparents were away. So, she treated him just as she always did—by giving him a bad attitude. She impatiently pushed the housekeeper aside and snapped, "Move out of my way!"The housekeeper could no longer be bothered to hide his disdain for her. He steadied himself against the wall with one hand and sneered, "Do you think you're still the Ms. Seymour of this house? Let me be frank with you. Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Senior are in the living room right now. When I said they're not at home, it's because they don't want to see you!"Lana was taken aback. "Why's that?"Before the housekeeper could answer, the loud revving sound of a sports car approached and eventually stoppe

After a long wait, the day finally came for Lana's trial case. However, neither of the parties involved showed up in court. Larissa was still recovering in Aldovia, so it was not convenient for her to make a long trip back home. She entrusted her lawyer to handle everything on her behalf. As for Lana, it seemed as if she had completely disappeared; her lawyer couldn't reach her. Considering the possibility of her fleeing to escape punishment, the court immediately suspended the trial, and the police began searching for her.There were no records of Lana purchasing any flight or train tickets in the system. But that alone didn't necessarily mean she hadn't left Bartham. After searching all the hotels and guesthouses, as well as visiting hundreds of neighborhoods and streets in the city without any luck, the police had no choice but to issue a nationwide warrant for Lana and set a reward of ten thousand dollars for finding her."Hey, should I provide some tips to the police and claim
