Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 480
News of Roland's death had somehow leaked out. The entrance to the alley was filled with cars, so he had to instruct his driver to park the car a street away and walk there himself. It was already late at night. Normally, Roland would have already gone to bed at this hour. There wouldn't have been any lights switched on in Pine Mansion. However, today the whole mansion was brightly lit. Every spot was crowded with people coming and going out of the mansion. Everyone was dressed in dark clothing that blended into the darkness as they walked along the alleyway. Ben stood at the entrance of Pine Mansion to receive guests who came to pay their respects. His eyes were swollen from crying and the expression on his face was one of sorrow.When he saw Kevan, he couldn't help but shed a tear. "Young Mr. Rogers, you've finally returned!"Pursing his lips tightly, Kevan's face was tense as he stared at Ben blankly, without any emotion in his gaze. It was as if he was looking a

Kevan nodded with a straight face and comforted her stiffly, "Please accept my condolences."His indifference made tears well up in Violet's eyes once again. Looking up at Kevan, she opened her mouth to reproach him, but in the end, she pursed her lips without another word. "Oh, is Kevan here as well?" Kevan's uncles appeared with their families in tow. There were no signs of grief on their faces. Instead, they were smiling in satisfaction. Bernard stared at Violet's face and remarked with displeasure, "Violet, I've told you before, this occasion is a celebration of life for Father. He passed away peacefully in his sleep. How could he rest in peace with you crying like this?" Violet lowered her head wordlessly as her grip on Kevan's arm tightened. Narrowing his eyes, Kevan couldn't stop the hostility that arose within him. "It's natural to feel sad when a family member has passed away. On the other hand, what about all of you? Are you happy because Grandpa is at peace, o

Dylan and Kevan had known each other for over a decade, but this was the first time Dylan had seen him in such a sorry state. In Dylan's memory, Kevan was always calm and composed. No matter what challenges he faced, he was unshakable. Naturally, Dylan knew how close Kevan was to his grandfather, allowing him to empathize with Kevan's overwhelming emotions. In the end, Dylan stopped trying to advise Kevan. He could only look on helplessly as Kevan drank himself into a stupor and blacked out on the sofa. As Kevan was tall and well-built, it was impossible for Dylan to carry him out on his own. Furthermore, he was completely unconscious. Dylan asked the staff to bring in some blankets so that they could spend the night in the private room.The shock of Roland's death was too great, causing Kevan to suddenly develop a high fever in the middle of the night. He started speaking incoherently, mumbling his grandfather's and Larissa's names with an anguished expression on his fac

"Even in this sorry state, why are you still unable to overcome that annoying habit of yours?" Dylan rolled his eyes in annoyance. Lowering his head, Kevan grunted in agreement and took the tissues to dry up the water stains on his clothes slowly. He struggled to finish the rest of the water, wetting his dry and cracked lips. Glancing at the IV bag above his hand, he asked Dylan, "How much longer until the IV is over?" There was still half of the liquid left in the IV bag."About half an hour," Dylan replied. "Alex went out for a smoke, but he'll be back soon to remove the IV."Dylan was referring to a doctor friend of his, Alexander Wade. Alex was working as the head of a department at a hospital and hadn't put in an IV drip for many years. "Why did you call Alex here?" Kevan furrowed his brows slightly. "Wasn't he busy with the restructuring of the hospital's management recently?" "What else could I do?" Dylan fixed his glasses. "You can't go to the hospital, and I do

Kevan was aware of the prospective partnership between Blue Star Shipping and Soaring Corporation. He had people keeping an eye on Cody's every move. Each action that Cody took was reported to Kevan in a timely manner. However, he didn't pay much attention to this matter.Over the past few years, Cody had been throwing money at different investments. Thanks to Kevan pulling some strings behind the scenes, most of Cody's ventures ended up failing, resulting in a loss of billions of dollars. Cody himself didn't have that much personal wealth to invest. He invested in those ventures using the name of Soaring Corporation and embezzled funds from the company. Now that all of them incurred huge losses, Cody had no way to repay the money he'd embezzled. The board of directors in Soaring Corporation had started to question Cody about the deficit in their account books. Because of this, Cody was struggling financially and had been desperate for ways to raise more money. Natur

Gary's body jolted as if he were awakened from a dream. Immediately, the sadness and nostalgia in his eyes disappeared in a flash.He smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll listen to your advice." The assistant's jaw dropped open with surprise. When Gary shot him a warning glare, he quickly regained his composure and put on a poker face. Gary got into the ambulance, accompanied by his assistant and Larissa. When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor conducted a brief examination and quickly came to a conclusion. "There's nothing major to be worried about. Just make sure to take your medication on time, avoid excessive fatigue, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."Gary looked at Larissa triumphantly. "See, what did I say?"Larissa pursed her lips, but Gary's assistant interrupted her before she could speak, "Mr. Logan, since you're already at the hospital, why not stay for observation and undergo a few more tests?"Gary frowned as he thought his assistant

After Larissa had arranged for Gary to be admitted to the hospital and ensured that he had completed all the necessary examinations, she left the hospital.Shortly after her departure, Alex went to meet Gary. Since he just suffered from a seizure, Gary wasn't feeling too well. In addition, he had to go to different departments in different buildings of the hospital for his examinations. After getting poked and prodded at, Gary collapsed on the hospital bed out of exhaustion. However, when he heard the sound of the door opening, Gary opened his eyes groggily.Initially, Gary thought that Alex was a doctor coming to check up on him as he was wearing a white coat, so Gary forced himself to sit up. He did not expect to be greeted with an ingratiating smile on Alex's face as he approached the bed. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Logan!" Gary was momentarily taken aback by Alex's effusive greeting, but the expression on his face remained nonchalant as he was used to people trying to c

Gary chuckled awkwardly, and the conversation came to an abrupt end. The two men fell silent, making the atmosphere more awkward. Changing the topic, Kevan said, "I heard that this time you're staying at the Winston Hotel instead of the Regal Dynasty Hotel?" Although Gary was currently relieved that he was staying at Winston Hotel, he wasn't pleased when he was informed that the presidential suite of Regal Dynasty Hotel had been occupied. The smile in his eyes faded and he replied indifferently, "That's right."Kevan immediately noticed the slight change in Gary's emotions as he was skilled at reading the expressions on people's faces. "What an idiot he is!" Kevan couldn't help but utter profanities under his breath at Cody's foolishness, despite having cursed Cody countless times before this. Although Cody was clinging on to the partnership with Blue Star Shipping as his lifeline, he didn't even care to visit the CEO himself. Kevan had reason to believe that even if he
