Chapter 689
Seeing the way she suddenly guarded herself, Kevan's heart ached for her. It was so strong that it overpowered the sadness he felt at her distrust of him."You can depend on me in the future," he said, "Let me take care of Aster's safety." Her weak shoulders should not need to bear such a thing.Larissa froze. She suddenly felt like crying again, and she looked down to hide her teary eyes.…"You've talked things out with Mr. Rogers?" Lewis brought in a plate of peeled apples. He gave her one that had not yet turned brown.Larissa bit into it, and the sweet apple juice sprayed out. They stained the white sheets."I guess so," she mumbled as she chewed the apple.The truth was, she had a lot of questions in her mind. Such as, why let her get pregnant with his child? Why was he so cruel to Ruby? And what on earth did he feel for her right now?Without the "memory loss," all the things that made sense before now did not. But she could not have asked any of these questions when thi
Chapter 690
Lewis was right. The police only arrested Janine long enough to question her and scold her before letting her go again. They did not even ask her to settle things with Larissa in private.The hotel reacted fast, though. They fired Janine at once and paid her current month's salary in full. They were afraid that she might come back and cause trouble again.The security on Larissa's floor had increased. The hotel's assistant manager brought a group of his subordinates to visit Larissa as well as apologize. He even brought a beautiful gift.As they were all former colleagues, Larissa did not make things hard on them. They sat together and chatted for a while. The assistant manager asked Larissa, "Ms. Seymour, will you still be coming back in the future?"Larissa waved her hand. "Nope! Do your best. The position of general manager will be yours soon!"The assistant manager was like her. He had jumped ship from the Regal Dynasty. He had reached a pretty high position back there
Chapter 691
Larissa would never go with the man in black.Even if the car was bashed into twisted metal, she could still resist for a bit. Maybe she could even drag things out until Lewis came back.The man in black got angrier, likely because she refused to get out of the car. "You really want to do this the hard way, huh?"He swung the baseball bat again. The sounds of the car window glass shattering could be heard. The glass cracked into multiple pieces, and some of the pieces flew into the car. The pieces landed on the car seat.Without this layer of protection, Larissa could clearly see the cruel smile in the man's eyes."Well? Get out now!" He threatened her.Larissa pinched the flesh of her palm. She struggled to maintain her calm appearance."There are multiple surveillance cameras here," she said, her voice trembling just a bit. "Do you think that the police can't find you?"Who knew that the man in black was not the least bit afraid when she said that? He even went as far as
Chapter 692
The man in black angrily whacked at the car with his baseball bat. The whole basement parking lot only had the sounds of the car getting smashed.Larissa was curled up in the space between the two front seats. She covered her ears with her hands. Her body rocked along with the car."Why aren't you getting out?" the man in black roared angrily.The four windows had already been broken by him, and the car seats were littered with sharp glass. Larissa could barely just put her feet down at the place where she was hiding."You really want to die?"The baseball bat reached in from the driver-side window and began smashing the steering wheel and the dashboard.Larissa had no weapons, so she could not fight back. She could only hide here and there, and drag out time and wait for someone to save her."If you come out on your own, I promise I won't hurt you!" Seeing that doing things the hard way would not work, the man's attitude softened just a little. "Our goal is not to hurt you! You
Chapter 693
The man in black hurriedly avoided the glass pieces. His hand that was holding onto Larissa's wrist also began to loosen.The cap and mask helped him block off most of the glass pieces, and he was not hurt at all. However, Larissa's soft palm was bleeding from numerous new cuts.Her resistance pissed off the man in black fully. He whipped out a pocket knife from his pocket, and the blade of the knife gleamed in the dimly lit environment."Since you wanna die, I'll make sure you do then!"He began to stab his knife madly into the car.Larissa held her bag in front of her as she began to change positions based on his movements. Her energy was completely gone. She was only following her survival instincts to fight back.After who knew how long, hurried footsteps could be heard in the large parking lot.Both man and woman looked over at the source of the noise. A tall figure was rushing over here.Larissa recognized him at once. It was Kevan!But her joy had not lasted two seconds
Chapter 694
Kevan did not move. He seemed not to have heard Larissa's words, and he did not even bother to look at her. He stared at the man in black rushing at him. The moment the man in black reached out, Kevan swiftly grabbed the man's wrist.The man screamed in pain as the knife in his hand fell to the floor.Kevan moved his foot and kicked the knife under the car parked nearby.The man in black watched as the knife vanished under the car. Then, his eyes were filled with fear and hopelessness."You …" He just started to speak when his feet were suddenly off the floor. He had no time to react as his world turned wildly about. Then, his back slammed heavily onto the floor, and he felt like his spine was going to break. The man in black moaned in pain as tears spilled down his cheeks.Kevan stood next to him before dropping one foot onto the man's chest while he gazed at him. "Who sent you?" he asked coldly.The man refused to speak. Kevan pressed down harder with his foot, and the man scre
Chapter 695
When Kevan and the police were talking, Lewis opened the car door and let Larissa out."Are you alright?" Lewis pulled on Larissa's arm and checked her over. Her face and neck were uninjured, but her hand—Lewis hissed. "We'll go to the hospital right now!"Hearing the word "hospital," Kevan tensed up as he came over to ask hoarsely, "What's wrong?"Lewis forced Larissa to open up her palm. The scary cuts on her palm were exposed before their very eyes."It's not too serious …" Larissa smiled timidly, and she tried to take her hand back from Lewis. But she failed, of course.Kevan's gaze stayed on her palm for a very long time.Just as Larissa said, the cuts were not too serious. The bleeding had stopped long ago. It just looked hideous, that was all. But the fear and self-blame in Kevan's heart was still there."I'm sorry," he mumbled in a low voice.Larissa watched him in confusion. "Why are you apologizing?"She heard everything Ronan said. The one who instructed him to do
Chapter 696
Lewis' car had been completely destroyed, so it naturally could not be driven.Kevan sent them to the closest hospital based on Lewis' request.Larissa resisted the whole way, saying that she was not bleeding anymore. "It doesn't hurt either. It'll heal in two days. We will be late for our flight."…The men in the car ignored her words.There were many patients in the hospital waiting for their turn. Kevan wanted to use his position to jump a few numbers, but Larissa stopped him. "It's not like we're in a rush right now."Her eyes showed annoyance, and her voice was very unhappy.Her annoyed look was cute to Kevan. His eyes were filled with gentleness as his words carried a hint of his smile. "Don't be mad." He patted her head. "Once your injuries are taken care of, I'll send you to the airport. You will be able to leave today."His attitude made Larissa's unhappiness disappear quickly. She looked down to hide the redness on her face, and she replied coldly, "'Kay then."They
