"Then rest well. We'll bring you something to eat after," Kevan said. "Sure." Larissa did not want to talk to him anymore, so she did not reject the offer.…The moment Larissa got home, she locked herself in her room.She took out the marriage certificate hidden at the bottom of the drawer and stared at their picture together.No matter how she looked, they did not match at all!She angrily shoved the certificate back into the drawer.She wanted to divorce Kevan at once, but this marriage was still beneficial to her, so she was reluctant too.After a long moment of mulling over the matter, she sighed and flopped back onto the bed."Just let it be, I guess," she thought.Her marriage to Kevan was one of mutual benefit. Who cared if he had a mistress?But her heart still felt terribly stifled and heavy.…Before 6 pm, Larissa heard the sounds of the door opening outside.Kevan could not possibly come home so early. Apart from him, the only other person who could enter the

His mistress already had a child? Could it be … that he was the homewrecker instead? If so, that would explain why Kevan did not marry that person but came to her instead.Larissa's previous marriage had been ruined by a mistress, even if Travis had played a significant role in it. As a result, she harbored a deep disdain for homewreckers. At this moment, how she looked at Kevan had changed greatly. All the good feelings from living together for so long were slowly being destroyed.Kevan naturally sensed the changes in her mood, and the changes were heading in a direction that he did not anticipate at all.The disdain in her eyes was a little too obvious. It was as if she never thought of hiding it in the first place.Kevan suddenly panicked a little. He only wanted to make her jealous for a teeny bit, but he probably overdid it so much that she now suspected his character."What are you thinking of?" He asked while pretending to be calm, deliberately smiling mischievously. "You

Not only did Kevan blacklist her, but he also warned her to stop harassing them, or he would ensure that she would not be able to remain in Covenford any longer.Everyone knew that Kevan had such power.But Dylan secretly confided in Larissa, saying, "As long as Lana doesn't completely break up with Lucas, your husband won't really fire her. After all, Lana has only been with StreamWave for a short month, and Lucas has already brought in proceeds worth more than a million to StreamWave. If this carries on …" Dylan tutted. "Lucas will become a major benefactor for StreamWave."Larissa let out a faint smile. "Then I hope that they live happily ever after together forever!"…The news of Microworks wanting to establish their own film company quickly spread throughout the industry. To the film industry, this was undoubtedly a groundbreaking development for them.Microworks, the country's leading IT corporation, had expanded its influence into the real estate sector, establishing itse

Jay went home in a fury."Where's Mr. Reuben?" He asked the household staff, who looked uncomfortable."Mr. Reuben … went out early in the morning and has not yet returned."Jay's rage shot through the roof, and he grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table, hurling it to the floor in a fit of anger. "Call him and get him to come home! NOW!""Yes, sir!" The household staff swiftly vanished, seemingly evaporating into thin air. Hearing the noise, Annabell sashayed downstairs."What's wrong?" She hugged Jay and kissed him on the lips. "Who made you angry again?""Who else!" Even though he had a beauty in his arms, it could not extinguish Jay's flames of anger. "That failure has fucked me up for good!"Annabell was secretly delighted, but she pulled a face of concern. "Don't be angry anymore. What will you do if you've harmed your body this way? Once Reuben comes back, just talk to him nicely. Don't fight again.""The company's already fucked, and you want me to talk to him nic

Annabell replied, "Do tell."…Jay rushed over to Microworks early in the morning with Reuben in tow, but the security guards stopped him."Sorry, sir. But no visitor pass, no entry."Jay did not even know what the hell a visitor pass was. Trying to contain his anger, Jay did his best to speak politely to the guards. "Please inform Mr. Rogers that Jay Cole of Summer Entertainment is here to see him."The guards remained unfazed. "We don't have the clearance to go up to the presidential office. If you want to meet Mr. Rogers, please let him know in person."Having lived to his current age, Jay had never been humiliated this way before, let alone being disregarded by a mere security guard. However, he did not dare to lose his temper while on Microworks' turf.Seeing Reuben playing whatever it was on his phone, Jay's anger boiled over, and he furiously whacked his son on the back of the head.Hurting, Reuben let out a cry of pain. "Dad! What the hell are you doing?""That should

Kevan had just finished a meeting when he found out from his secretary that the Cole father-and-son duo had come to find him.That was within his expectations—as a matter of fact, it was a few days later than he had expected.Right now, all of the most valuable teams in Summer Entertainment had been pilfered by him. Soon, it would turn into a third-rate film company.But this was not enough.What he wanted was for the Cole family to be finished entirely, without any possibility of making a comeback."Should anyone from Summer Entertainment come by again, just get security up and throw them out," Kevan ordered coldly.The secretary acknowledged the order nervously.…When Larissa saw Jay and Dorian checking in at the hotel lobby, she thought she was seeing things.Not daring to let them notice her, she stood quietly in the corner and observed for a while. Once they went upstairs, she ran over to the front desk to confirm what she saw. "Were those two checking in to our hotel?"
Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 240
It was clear that the Coles' goal was to cause trouble.Taking a deep breath, Larissa understood that if it was a blessing, it would not be a disaster; if it was a disaster, she could not avoid it.…Larissa rang the doorbell, and Dorian opened the door."Yo, Ms. Seymour is here? I thought you'd already clocked out?"Dorian smelled of alcohol, his beady eyes gleaming with lust.Even though she hated him, Larissa could only force out a professional smile due to his current status as a hotel guest. Speaking politely in response to his weird question, she said, "I have indeed clocked out, but our hotel's motto is customer first. Since Mr. Cole insists on seeing me, then I must return."Dorian laughed coldly before suddenly letting out a burp.In a flash, a pungent gust of alcoholic smell wafted over, causing Larissa to frown. As for the assistant behind her, she could not help but cover her mouth and nose with her hand."What, you think it stinks?" Dorian's smile vanished as he g

The only thing Larissa could do was move her head haphazardly to avoid Dorian's disgusting, stinky mouth.The assistant frantically pounded on the door outside, shouting, "Mr. Cole, please open the door! Or else I'll call the police!"But Dorian turned a deaf ear to it. Gripping Larissa's suit jacket, he ripped it, causing the buttons to pop off and scatter onto the floor.He then did the same thing to her shirt, causing irreparable damage to the two garments. The suite's thermostat was on, but Larissa only felt cold, especially when her chest was exposed to the air with Dorian's lewd gaze upon it."Mr. Cole, sexual assault is against the law." She struggled to keep herself calm, but her voice could not help but tremble. "If you stop now, I can pretend nothing has happened and will not hold you accountable.""What assault?" Dorian was dismissive. He even retorted unapologetically, "You're my future wife. How is this considered sexual assault?""I am married, Mr. Cole!" Larissa
