Kevan blocked Ron's number and was finally able to enjoy some peace and quiet for the afternoon. However, in the evening, Violet called, bombarding him with a barrage of questions. "Tell me the truth. Has Bethany been kidnapped?"Her tone was urgent, tinged with panic. Each word quivered as it left her lips. There was no need for Kevan to speculate; Cody must have leaked the news to her. "Yes," he admitted."When did it happen?" Her trembling intensified."The day before yesterday," he answered.He reached out to his mother the same night when he received the kidnapper's call. Bethany had been staying with Violet all along, and it was only natural for Violet to be concerned when the nanny couldn't find Bethany when she went and picked Bethany up.Instead of telling Violet the truth, Kevan concocted an outrageous lie, saying, "I brought Bethany over to stay with me for a few days."Surprisingly, not only did she not suspect anything, but she was also very delighted. Her biggest wish wa

However, there were many ways for others to manipulate the paternity test that Violet had ordered, reflecting on the entire situation."Ruby deceived me! I won't let her get away with this!" Violet's face turned red with anger."Enough!" Anthony grabbed her hand and sternly rebuked her, "That's not the most important thing now." He turned his gaze toward Kevan and continued, "Even though Bethany isn't your biological daughter, she's still a human life. Not to mention we have formed a bond with her through the time we spent together. We just can't stand there and do nothing, especially considering the fact that she was kidnapped because of you.""I'll take care of this matter. You both don't need to worry," Kevan assured them.His father had always trusted him. Besides, he couldn't control his adult son anymore. "Alright then, we won't have much to worry about."Anthony turned and glanced at his wife, who was still in a state of shock and anger. He removed his glasses from the bridge of

Dylan hadn't contacted Larissa ever since the kidnapping incident. She found it strange and decided to check the guest room, only to find out that he had already checked out. Without his proactive contact, she had lost the opportunity to inquire about the progress of the case.She had been diligently following the news for a few days but hadn't come across any relevant information. Perhaps this was the best outcome she could hope for, looking at it from a different perspective.…She was supposed to go to the airport to pick someone up at noon, but her meeting had been delayed, causing her to be nearly half an hour late. She hurriedly sent a message to the person, explaining her situation, and rushed off.As she reached the lobby, she nearly bumped into Gary, who had just returned from outside.He was dressed in a formal dark suit. She apologized and asked, "Were you out for business?"He nodded in response. "I had a meeting with Mr. Leon from Soaring Corporation this morning, but we h

"Oh." Lewis nodded subtly.Rena quickly changed the subject, asking, "Larissa, are you thinking of letting me handle the marketing strategies for your hotel?"Larissa shook her head in response. "It's a bit complicated. I'll explain in detail when we reach the hotel."Rena didn't press further.When they got out of the car, Lewis asked Rena for her business card, providing a valid reason. "I'll reach out to you in case our company requires any marketing assistance."…Larissa personally covered the expenses for a luxurious suite for Rena and ordered a variety of dishes for her. After a satisfying meal, Rena slumped onto the couch, rubbing her belly."Tell me what you want me to do. I'll make it happen if it's within my capabilities." She waved her hand confidently.Larissa smiled faintly. "I have a big scoop for you."Half an hour later, Rena's eyes widened, her mouth agape as she stared in disbelief."A-Are you sure you want me to break this news?" She looked at Larissa with a complic

"Ms. Seymour, someone's here to see you." Larissa's assistant intercepted her at the elevator lobby just as she returned from a meeting with a client. The assistant's expression held a hint of unease, one that Larissa had never seen on his face before."Who is it?" Larissa's steps halted as a wave of apprehension washed over her, causing her to cautiously glance behind him. A trace of disdain flashed across his eyes as he replied, "It's that female celebrity, Yvette, who has been caught up in a bunch of scandals recently." He paused for a moment and asked curiously, "Are you acquainted with her?"She didn't answer his question. Instead, she remained still as she inquired, "What does she want from me?""I don't know." He shook his head. "She seemed quite angry and had a pretty nasty expression on her face."Although Yvette spoke softly, and her attitude toward him was cordial, he was not her fan nor a greenhorn in the workplace. He could somewhat discern her underlying emotions beneath

"You will pay for this!" she muttered angrily as she passed by Larissa.Larissa smirked in amusement. "Ms. Xander, your payback hasn't arrived yet. So, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer for mine." Yvette was left speechless and unable to respond.…As soon as Yvette left, Larissa's assistant hurriedly rushed in. "Ms. Seymour, are you okay?" He looked at her with concern, scanning her up and down."Yeah, I'm fine. Have the security guards escort Yvette out directly when she shows up next time," she ordered with a slight smile.He nodded in response. "Sure, I'll take care of it."…Meantime, Yvette seethed with frustration after being humiliated by Larissa. She could only vent her anger by pressing the hotel elevator's buttons vigorously."Slut! She's just as worthless as the useless wimp! I should have never given birth to her!" she muttered under her breath. As she cursed, the elevator reached the top floor. The doors slowly opened with a ding.She entered the elevator wi

Just as Larissa opened the report, her assistant rushed in anxiously to say, "There's an argument going on between Yvette and someone at the elevator!"She knew well how difficult and unpleasant Yvette could be, and how harsh her words could sound. Things never turned out well whenever she got into an argument with someone.She immediately dropped her mouse and hurriedly made her way toward the elevator. Little did she know that even from a distance, she could hear the words Yvette shouted.She froze in her tracks. She could clearly see the man standing alongside Yvette. The father she had thought about and longed for all these years had appeared before her in this manner. Despite being familiar enough with Gary to confide in him, she felt timid and couldn't bring herself to take another step closer at this moment.The three individuals standing at the elevator entrance hadn't noticed her yet. Even though Gary was slightly shorter than Yvette in high heels, he still exuded an intimidat

Should she let him in? Larissa questioned herself as well. She didn't want to see him—or rather, she didn't want to see anyone. All she wanted was some peace and solitude. However, she couldn't turn Gary away. Among his various roles, the one that mattered to her the most was his status as a valued guest at the Winston Hotel."Sure." She nodded.After her assistant left, she picked up the mouse from the ground. The battery, along with the cover, had been knocked off, and there was even a crack on its surface. Frustrated, she muttered under her breath and threw everything she was holding into the trash bin.The door was opened once again. Gary and Lewis entered her office, one after another. She wasn't prepared mentally when she caught sight of Gary. So, her body froze, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened. She lowered her head intentionally, avoiding eye contact with Gary. After taking a deep breath, she mustered a faint smile and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, Mr.
