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

Lewis followed along to the police station and came back not long after. "It's not really security's fault this time," he said.Janine was indeed a janitor at Winston Hotel. She had been hired before Larissa's current return to Caldor. Janine had already worked for almost a month."Still, she did indeed come here to find you at first."Lewis had spoken to the captain of security. The captain had told Lewis everything he knew."Find me? For what?" Larissa frowned.Lewis held out his hands helplessly. "She didn't tell anyone."Janine caused trouble at the hotel for several days before stopping after that. When she reappeared again, she was seeking a job.The hotel never had enough manpower. Janine was quick in her work. So, she successfully passed the three-day probation period. Thus, the hotel signed her up as an employee.As for her son, no one knew what happened to him. But a janitor in the same batch as Janine said that Janine often boasted about how successful her
Chapter 685
The matter of Andrew suggesting stocks was found out immediately. "Insider trading" was illegal. Also, he was so obvious about it.Andrew's superior knew nothing about the higher-ups' games. The superior fired Andrew at once and even called the police. The police had already begun to investigate, and they were currently at the stage of looking for evidence.The main person in charge only found out about all this from his subordinate when Kevan came over."My apologies, Mr. Rogers." He carefully apologized. "I didn't successfully keep an eye on him.""It's his own problem." Kevan naturally did not think that Andrew would have maintained good behavior just because someone was watching him. After all, a leopard could not change its spots."Work well with the police in their investigation. Give them whatever they want." Kevan paused before adding a stern warning. "Do not break the rules ever again."The main person in charge quickly agreed. "Yes, we definitely won't!"…Once

Kevan's seriousness made Larissa feel more panicked than ever. Clutching at the sheets tightly, Larissa asked so softly that she almost could not be heard, "Talk … about what?"Kevan did not give her the chance to escape this. "Aster."What was meant to come had come in the end.Closing her eyes, Larissa took a deep breath and tried to calm her pounding heart."You're mistaken," she said. "Aster is not your son." This was the only way that would prevent her from thinking further into it."The report would not lie." Kevan's gaze was fixed on her. His voice was just a bit hoarse. "Larissa, don't lie to yourself.""Lie to myself?" This term seemed to have triggered Larissa as she laughed suddenly. Her eyes were filled with plain mockery.A chill crept up Kevan's spine, and his pupils shrunk a little. His fingers dug hard into the soft flesh of his palm."Ask yourself, Kevan Rogers. Who was the one who has been lying to themselves?" Her timidity vanished, and Larissa's eyes became

Larissa did not feel the least bit happy that her guess had been confirmed. An incredible fury consumed her. She could only bite her lip to prevent herself from saying anything that would hurt.She could guess the reason why he pretended to be in a coma. It was definitely not because he wanted to do inappropriate things to her.He quietly waited for nearly six years. Within these six years, there were rumors that Microworks Corporation was going to collapse. But the truth was, Microworks' profits kept growing while Soaring Corporation kept getting worse. It was truly struggling on the edge of collapsing into bankruptcy.Larissa did not believe that Kevan was not involved in any of this. So, her fury did not come from the fact that he pretended to be in a coma. She was mad at his irresponsibility, which caused her pain and grief for a very long time before."Do you know that I nearly aborted the child?" Angry grief rose up in her, and Larissa's eyes somehow teared up. He
