Kevan asked in his usual calm and composed tone.

Larissa's heart sank when he asked her that question.

Although they were separated by the vast ocean, her gaze wavered.

"My father's getting old. He needs someone to take over the company," Larissa lied.

"Lewis would be a better candidate than you. If you consider the future of Blue Star Shipping and for Gary's sake, it would be a wiser choice to pass the company's management to Lewis."

Larissa must have known about this. This was why Kevan wasn't convinced when she decided to resign from the Winston Hotel and take over the family business.

He tried asking Lewis about Larissa's reason, but Lewis had no idea.

"I can't put this burden solely on Lewis."

Larissa's grip tightened on the phone.

Due to her nervousness, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the palm of her hand.

Kevan fell silent for a long time before replying, "Alright."

Since Larissa did not want to tell him the truth, it was meaningless to probe further.
