Chapter 868
It took some time to drive back into the city center from the airport. In the middle of it, Lewis met up with a subordinate and told him to tow Larissa's car away from the motel.When they reached Maple Hotel, it was already 3 am. There were no hotel guests in the lobby, only uniformed hotel staff waiting for guests to show up.The doorman was about to help guide them kindly when Larissa waved him off and explained their reasons for coming. "I'm looking for your hotel's Administrative Manager, Wendy."The smile on the doorman's face froze up as he backed away alertly. He anxiously called for the lobby manager to come.As "oldies" of the hotel industry, Larissa naturally had met the lobby manager quite a few times. The manager recognized Larissa and asked her, "What brings you here?""I'm looking for Wendy," Larissa replied.The lobby manager was aware of Larissa's friendship with Wendy, so he helped Larissa get a room card from the front desk. "Just head up. I don't know if Wendy

Larissa quickly showered and got back into her clothes. She lay down in a corner of the bed and dared not to take up too much space.She did not turn off the light. She woke up every half an hour to observe Wendy's condition. Thankfully, other than the fact that Wendy was still unconscious, she was fine.Larissa slept very badly that night. After who knew how long, she suddenly heard a noise beside her. It was very light like the person was purposely trying not to wake her up.Larissa did not sleep very deeply, so she opened her eyes immediately. Wendy, who had been lying down, was now half sitting up. She had peeled back a part of the sheets and had one leg down the bed.They stared at each other for a few seconds before Wendy said, "Did I wake you?" Her voice was dry and hoarse, maybe from the lack of water, though it was hard to tell."No." Larissa brushed her hair away from her forehead as she got up too. "How are you feeling?" She asked with concern, "Do you feel bad? What do

It was impossible to get the police to let go of Edmund. But in such a situation, Larissa could not directly reject Wendy. She could only pretend. "I can't decide on this. We'll have to see how the police deal with this. He did kidnap you after all."Wendy's shoulders slumped with disappointment. After a long while, she asked Larissa, "Then can you take me to see him? I have something … I want to ask him still."Larissa did not want to let Wendy meet Edmund. If the man leaked anything … she did not know how to continue this nice lie she had going for now. "I'll ask, I guess." She fudged it over. All she needed to tell Wendy later was "no."…Before they finished breakfast, Kevan came over to knock on the door. He had changed his clothes and he looked perfect."Why are you up so early?" Larissa was very surprised."Jet lag. I couldn't sleep." Kevan did not enter the room. He only handed over the paper bag he had to Larissa. "Clean clothes."Larissa held the paper bag in her arms

In despair, Wendy slumped in the backseat and said through gritted teeth, "Alright! You brought this upon yourselves. Don't blame me if I ruin your private time later!" Wendy was going to sleep in the guest room. Before returning to her room, she reminded Larissa, "Remember to ask on my behalf!" "Okay," Larissa agreed. As soon as she turned around, her face darkened. Kevan had been with her all this time. He noticed that something was off. He pulled her into the nearest study. "What did Wendy ask you to inquire about?" Larissa didn't hide it. "She wants to meet Edmud. She still has feelings for him … " She trailed off with a sigh. "Do you want to let her meet him? If you do, I'll arrange for it." Kevan was serious. "No! I hope they never meet again for the rest of their lives!" Larissa replied. Kevan smiled and said, "Alright. I need to go out later. I might not be back until late at night. Don't make dinner for me." "Where are you going? The police bureau?" Larissa ask

The force from Kevan's swing caused Edmund to sway back and forth. His right leg seemed to be broken. It hung limply in contrast to his left leg which was straight. "Kevan!" He continued crying out with tears rolling down his cheeks. His tears left clean tracks on his blood-stained face. Kevan frowned in disgust. "I have given you multiple chances." His return to Caldor was the first chance he had given Edmund. The second was when he'd orchestrated Edmund's and Wendy's breakup. If Edmund had been sensible enough to abandon his plans and face him like a man, Kevan wouldn't have resorted to this. "Still, you did not appreciate my kindness." As Kevan said those words, he took another swing at Edmund's left leg. Edmund screamed in pain and tears fell uncontrollably. "Kevan, spare me! Please, it hurts so much! I'm going to die!" "Don't worry, I won't let you die. I'll make you wish that you were dead instead," Kevan said with a sinister smile. Edmund widened his eyes i

"Alright." Kevan nodded and took out his phone. He pointed the phone camera toward Edmund and said, "Repeat what you said." In a hurry, Edmund repeated his confession in case Kevan changed his mind. After recording the video, Kevan told his men, "Release them and bring them to the police bureau." Edmund was stunned. When he got himself together, he cursed, "Didn't you agree to let me go? Kevan, you liar! You will meet a terrible end!" Kevan remained nonchalant."I have already let you off the hook. If it weren't for this, you would have lost your life today." He waved the phone in his hand. With that, he discarded the baseball bat, which was stained with Edmund's blood. Kevan turned around and left. Edmund was ranting behind him, "Kevan, you heartless bastard! It's all because of you that Larissa suffered so much! You are so shameless!"You married Larissa even though you claimed to love Ruby! You even had a child with Ruby, but now you won't let Larissa go! You are a

It was already past 11:00 pm when Kevan came back home. As expected, the living room was dark. Larissa and Wendy were probably sleeping. He moved as quietly as possible to avoid waking Larissa. He decided to sleep in one of the guest rooms. Alas, as he walked past the study, a light switched on behind him. "Where are you going?" Larissa came out from the study, still dressed in her loungewear. Her shoulder-length hair was tied up into a ponytail, which swayed as she moved. She was staring at Kevan, puzzled. Kevan backtracked when he heard her voice. "I thought you had gone to sleep. I was going to sleep in the guest room.""I'm still doing some work. Go and wash up in the bedroom. I will turn off the computer and come along later," Larissa said in a tired voice, rubbing her eyes. She was exhausted from staring at documents all night. Kevan looked past her shoulders and his gaze landed on the large desk in the study. Before he left, the desk was empty. Now, it was sta

"I'm fine," Wendy said. Ignoring Larissa, she walked toward the kitchen like a ghost. Larissa froze for a minute before returning to her room. Why was everyone acting so strangely today? Larissa changed into her nightgown and got into bed. She turned off the lights in the bedroom, only leaving a dim bedside lamp on. The sound of running water from the bathroom stopped. After a while, a light shone from the bathroom. Then, the light went out. The sound of footsteps gradually approached her. Larissa couldn't help but ask, "Why did you take such a quick shower today?" Kevan was a clean freak. He would usually spend at least half an hour in the shower every day. It had been less than 15 minutes in total from the time he left the study until now. Kevan didn't expect her to observe him so closely, but her question didn't catch him off guard. "I took a shower in the hotel this morning. It's getting late and I'm a little tired. I want to get some rest early." "Oh, I
