Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 567
Lately, Larissa had developed a liking for people to come and visit her. It was probably because she had to be confined to the hospital ward for a long time. News of her accident and hospitalization had spread to the hotel staff. Many people came to visit her in the first two days, but all of them were stopped by Lewis at the door. While her body needed rest, Larissa couldn't help feeling bored when she was all alone. After serious consideration and thought by Gary and Lewis, Dylan was the only person they allowed in.Dylan was like a ray of light for her and Larissa looked forward to his visits eagerly. She greeted him energetically with a genuine smile on her face. "Hello!" Her enthusiasm made Gary and Lewis feel discomfited. When she interacted with the two of them, she had never seemed that happy. Secretly, Gary came to a decision that they would have to restrict Dylan's visits as well. "Aren't you busy today?" Larissa gestured to Mrs. Griffin, and she immediately ca

The soft layers of pastry enveloped in dense cream and the tangy mango chunks slid across her tongue. The delicate texture and multiple layers of sweetness made Larissa sigh in delight. Since she was forced to eat nothing but bland food and supplements for the last few days, Larissa was moved to the point of tears at this moment.If she wasn't bound to the bed, she would have hugged Kevan out of sheer gratitude, exclaiming, "You're my savior!" Although the satisfied expression on Larissa's face was evident, the rest of the people in the ward felt different emotions that were evoked by her joy. The smile on Kevan's face widened and he stared at Larissa with a look of fondness and love, almost overflowing with affection. Conversely, a stony expression appeared on Gary's face. He pursed his lips and muttered with disapproval, "You shouldn't eat this much junk food in the future." Larissa simply acted as if she didn't hear what he said. It was Kevan who responded politely, "Ok

A handsome, attractive face was reflected in the mirror. At this moment, he had an expression of aroused lust on his face. His cheeks were flushed red from being turned on and his eyes were burning with desire. Parting his lips, Kevan raised his hand and stretched out his tongue. His eyes were half-closed as he licked every bit of the cream off his fingers slowly, imagining himself licking her soft and juicy pink lips. However, this was just a futile attempt to quench his thirst for her touch. Not only did it not satisfy him, his actions further intensified his longing to be intimate with her. Kevan clenched his fists, digging his nails into his flesh as he tried to alleviate his pent-up desire by the pain radiating from his palm. After about five minutes, he emerged from the restroom. Afraid of arousing suspicion, he even pretended to flush the toilet bowl. Larissa had already finished the cake and Gary was wiping her mouth with a tissue. When Gary heard the sound of

Blue Star Shipping was a famous multinational shipping company with a history of nearly thirty years since Gary had established the company. They had their own anchoring points and warehouses in almost every port city in the world, making the company an indispensable part of international trade. Despite his humble background and limited education, Gary had exceptionally clear principles and boundaries. He would never engage in any illegal business or activities. In the whole process of transporting goods, he placed utmost importance on the inspection of cargo and it was the part that was under the most scrutiny as well. It was unheard of for any incidences of smuggling or transportation of prohibited goods to occur within Blue Star Shipping. It was said that a major drug lord had once approached Gary before, offering him a commission of over a hundred million dollars to partner up and smuggle drugs overseas, but his proposal was decisively rejected. Gary's integrity was pra

Now that Kevan had leaked insider information to him and recalled the ship, there wouldn't be any conclusive evidence of Cody's misdeeds. Cody could easily find a way out to shift the blame to the suppliers overseas. The most serious consequence to him would only be the loss of the money he'd invested. If Cody had signed a contract with overseas suppliers for payment upon delivery, he wouldn't suffer from any losses at all. "As you said, I have my own principles. I will not drag other people into a personal grudge against my cousin," Kevan replied in a deep voice that had a hint of amusement in it. Lewis was taken aback initially, but he quickly recovered. "Is it because of Lari?" Smiling at him meaningfully, Kevan turned around and went up the stairs with large strides, taking two steps at a time. At the top of the stairs, he stood with his back facing Lewis. With a hand in his pocket, he carelessly waved the other hand at Lewis. "See you." Larissa keenly noticed that th

The revelation of Yvette's scandal in the past by the anonymous social media account not only completely ruined her chances of making a comeback in the entertainment industry, but also pushed her illegitimate daughter into the spotlight. The article that was published was written by Larissa herself, so she blurred out any information that would identify her. During the editing process, Rena carefully reviewed the article to ensure that Larissa's identity wouldn't be exposed before uploading it online. Nonetheless, no secret could be hidden forever. Larissa had lived with the Seymour family for many years. Although she was publicly introduced as Yvette's niece, those who were close to the Seymour family could guess that she was actually Yvette's illegitimate daughter after reading the exposé. In the initial stages, this incident was just casual gossip discussed among the upper echelons. However, after the gossip had spread further, it naturally reached the ears of the media. S

Because of this, the official Facebook pages of the Bartham City Police Bureau and Bartham City Court were constantly tagged in the comments. Everyone was demanding an explanation and insisting that they shouldn't let Lana go so easily just because she was mentally ill. Under pressure from public opinion, the Bartham City Court released a statement expressing their intent to handle the case according to the law and asked everyone to remain calm. "Mr. Cunningham called and told me that the judge is considering sending Lana to the Bartham Mental Asylum," Lewis said. The Bartham Mental Asylum was the biggest psychiatric hospital in Bartham and one of the more strictly managed institutions. Many patients with severe mental illnesses were forcibly sent there for treatment and isolated from the outside world. Of course, opinions from the patients' family members would be taken into consideration as well. "The current situation right now is that the court has to take urgent measures

Lewis had already instructed Frank on what to say and do when he met Xavier. That day, Frank brought a trusted associate with him, who was disguised as a translator. On the other hand, Xavier appeared with his loyal assistant, Ian, who had stayed by his side from the beginning. The location of their meeting was in an executive suite at the Regal Dynasty Hotel, where Frank was staying. Lewis didn't dare to book Frank a room at the Winston Hotel for fear that Xavier would suspect foul play. Lewis had his men set up hidden cameras in Frank's room beforehand, and everything happening in the room would be simultaneously transmitted to Lewis' computer in the adjacent suite. Frank was wearing a discreet earpiece that was connected to Lewis so that he could direct Frank's every move without much difficulty. Following Lewis' instructions, Frank received Xavier politely but without excessive enthusiasm. Inviting Xavier and Ian to take a seat, he greeted them warmly in broken Caldor
