Kevan had been distracted for the whole day. Even during his meeting, he would pick up his phone and glance at it.Larissa never looked for him.He could not tell what he was feeling. He wished Larissa would take the initiative to talk to him. Alas, he was also afraid that she would say things that he did not want to hear.He had seen how cold she was to him during these two days—so much so that it could be counted as scorn.His gamble this time still achieved results that were the exact opposite of what he wanted. But he did not regret it. Aster's parentage would have to be brought up at some point. It was better to solve it early than drag it all out.He saw the news from his subordinate. Larissa and Lewis had gone to the cemetery. Larissa and Lewis had gone back to the hotel. Lewis had canceled tonight's flight tickets …Kevan was a little happy. He could not help but wonder if Larissa's choice to stay was because of him.Larissa's WhatsApp message was rather sudden.He ha
Larissa had almost never seen Kevan's face turn red unless they were in bed.At that time, it was because of his excitement. He gripped her waist pretty hard during the act while spewing the most embarrassing things ever at times.Larissa shamefully realized that she was getting excited.Kevan did not notice what she was thinking. When he was coughing, he was wondering how exactly he was supposed to answer the question in a way that would not make her angry."I didn't mean to purposely let people follow you," he said."Huh?" Larissa was stunned. It was after that that she realized that he had actually sent people to keep an eye on her.But she seemed to feel nothing for this sort of thing anymore.After that car accident, there were many people around her who were meant to protect her. She could not tell which were from Gary and which were from Kevan. Although her privacy had been violated, she knew that they all just wanted her to be okay."That's not the point." Larissa adjus
"I …" Larissa bit her lip. She looked up at Kevan in a pitiful manner, her voice as whiny as a newborn kitten. "I don't feel good."The flush on her face never disappeared. The heat from her body spread to Kevan's skin from Larissa's palm.Kevan's feigned calmness shattered at once.He retreated to her side and felt her forehead with his free hand. The burning heat made him frown. "Why is your fever still so high?"Larissa shook her head. "I don't know. I got injections and took medicine."But her temperature kept shifting. It would go down temporarily because of the medicine, but soon it would go up again."Hospital, now." Kevan decided at once. Such symptoms did not seem like a regular cold.Larissa used his hand to pull herself up."Can you walk?" Kevan stared at her still-not-fully recovered legs."Yes." Larissa took one step and fell into Kevan's arms in the next second.Kevan's arms wrapped around her waist in time, and he held her tightly."Yes?" He raised a mocking e
"Bruh, this girl's so fake! What kind of illness did she get that she needed her boyfriend to carry her all the way? Does she think she's a princess or something?"…Larissa buried her face deeper into Kevan's neck.Kevan was super tensed up when he felt her hot breath against his neck. His whole body was so stiff that he gradually slowed down in order to cover up how unnatural he was at the moment.When they finally entered the doctor's office, Larissa and Kevan's awkward state was finally lessened.The doctor was a slightly elderly head doctor. He was probably used to youngsters being all clingy with each other, so he was rather chill about it all, and he did not show any scorn."Go take a blood test." The doctor wrote a prescription at once when he heard what Kevan said about the symptoms. "Once you get the results, come and find me again."The blood test venue was on the same floor.Kevan still did not put Larissa down. Larissa knew that Kevan was a stubborn idiot, so she g
Larissa had trended more than once when she was in conflict with the Hardy family. She trended again when she got knocked down by Lana's car.Both times they had caused quite the commotion then. So, it was not strange to end up on the trending list. But she had not done anything over these two days. Thus, Larissa could not for the life of her figure out why she was trending now.Lewis helped her understand. He showed her his phone. There were a series of familiar hashtags on the trending list.1. #Kevan&MysteriousLady2. #BisexualKevan3. #KevanNewLove4. #Larissa7. #Microworks10. #GoldenMediatorsRoom11. #Zero12. #Lana13. #CosmicEntertainmentLarissa tapped into the first hashtag. The most viral tweet came from an account called "Rich Secrets," and it went like this:"Microworks Corporations' Kevan Rogers seems to be bisexual!"Earlier, someone in the industry said that Mr. Rogers liked men, but someone snapped an intimate picture of him with a woman in the hospital.
Larissa read all kinds of comments on the Internet.She and Kevan were not in that kind of relationship like the public thought. Thus, Larissa could still act like an outsider looking in when the netizens began to argue. She could observe the mess this way. But the debates grew worse. Almost everyone was wondering if she was worthy to be with Kevan. Then, Larissa's calm began to falter. Rage and embarrassment began to grow in her.Lewis could see Larissa's depression. He could naturally see the cruel comments on the Internet too. Unlike Larissa, he was not the type to swallow all his grief and pain. Once he left the hotel room, Lewis made a call. Half an hour later, the trending hashtags were all taken down. Any related tweets were deleted too, and no trace of them could be found.…Larissa still had one more infusion.Once the Internet fever died down, Lewis accompanied Larissa to the hospital.Larissa wore a mask. So, she did not look different from the other patients w
Janine Levange, who Larissa had not seen in a very long time, was wearing the uniform of the hotel's janitor. She was holding a mop. There was a part of the floor that was still wet in front of Larissa's room door.Janine's back was more hunched than ever. She was also skinnier."Lari!" Janine forced out a flattering smile that Larissa had never even seen from her before. Janine's wrinkles deepened with that act. She threw down the mop and rushed toward Larissa. The speed at which she walked did not match her aged appearance.Larissa gasped as she backed away, her right hand gripping Lewis' arm on instinct.Lewis had only seen pictures of Larissa's former mother-in-law on the informational documents. Although the woman in the picture had not taken great care of herself, she was still so much younger than Janine was now. That was why he did not recognize her at first.Larissa's fear made Lewis more alert. He stepped in front of her to separate her from that weird "janitor
When it came to shamelessness, the Hardy family was still on top. No one could ever beat them in that.Seeing that Larissa was struck speechless by her, Janine grew more and more smug. "I'm telling you, Larissa, I can sue you anytime I want! So, don't act like you're better than me! I'll make sure you are ruined and disgraced! I'll make sure you won't end up as whatever general manager! See if I don't!""Sue me, then." Larissa could not care less about Janine's little threat.Travis Hardy's death was concluded to be suicide. His family had confirmed this fact with their signatures too. If the Hardy family wanted to "overturn" this case, it might be a little hard for them.Besides—If Larissa were really "ruined and disgraced," as Janine hoped, then Janine's purpose in coming here would have been for nothing.As expected, Janine hesitated for a moment."I …" She steadied herself and pieced her words together again. "I can sue you, of course! But I want to give you one more chance
