Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 966
It was a Saturday. Larissa had invited Marilyn to dinner.Larissa had picked out a three Michelin-starred restaurant, probably because this could be the last time they ever saw each other. She'd gotten a reservation through Gary's connections.They met at the entrance of the restaurant.The moment Marilyn saw Larissa, she embraced her warmly."Larissa!" Marilyn examined her face and exclaimed, "You look so much better when you're not working overtime!"Larissa smiled. "It's the makeup."This restaurant was rather particular about dress codes.Wendy had picked out a long silver dress for her. Her makeup had to match.It had taken her an hour to put it on. It was vastly different compared to her daily routine which took 10 minutes.They walked in while holding hands.Because they were both attractive and had shapely figures, they attracted the attention of many patrons."Larissa?" someone exclaimed. Larissa looked over. It was Allen sitting about ten feet away.He was proba

If Marilyn hadn't brought it up, Larissa would not have planned on introducing them to each other. They wouldn't have anything to do with each other in the future, anyway."This is Allen. He was my superior from when I worked in Winston. And this is Marilyn, my colleague and good friend."To be polite, Allen extended his hand toward Marilyn. "Nice to meet you, Marilyn.""Hello, Allen." Marilyn leaned forward, placing a hand over her chest for modesty, and shook his hand. "Correction, I'm not her colleague. I'm her ex-colleague.""What?" Allen was surprised. He looked at Larissa. "Are you switching jobs again?""Not yet." Larissa was trying her hardest to plaster a smile on her face. "I'm currently unemployed.""What does that mean?" Allen's eyes were full of bewilderment.Before leaving Winston, Larissa had told him that she was going to work in her family's company. Thus, she couldn't say that she was fired. Otherwise, he would instantly call out her bluff. Marilyn might ev

"Why did you want to give me a present so suddenly?" Marilyn asked curiously. She held her bracelet with her other hand.Larissa said honestly, "I'm going back to Caldor next week.""What?" Marilyn was shocked. "Are you really going to teach Aldovian?""I don't know. I'll think about it when I get back." Larissa smiled and made up an excuse. "I just miss home. I'm all alone here, and without work, it's a struggle.""That is true." Marilyn pursed her lips, sobering up. "Will you still come back to Westonia?" she asked."We'll see. If I find a suitable job in Caldor, I might not even come back," Larissa said."Well, what about him?" Marilyn glanced at Allen. There was mischief in her eyes. "What if he's just waiting for you to turn back?"Larissa explained in exasperation, "There's nothing between us.""Alright, alright! I get it. Nothing between you," Marilyn said, all smiles. It was obvious that she didn't think so.Because of Allen, Larissa was not looking as forward to this

Larissa was unable to sleep the entire night because of what she'd seen at the restaurant.She couldn't get Marilyn and Allen's smiles out of her head.She didn't know what they meant, but she felt like it had something to do with her.…Early the next day, Larissa received a call from Marilyn."Larissa!" Marilyn sounded anxious. "I accidentally broke the bracelet you gave me last night! Do you know if there's a place where I could get it repaired?"Larissa calmly told her the seller's address. "You can just head over. I'll let them know online.""Could you come with me, Larissa? I've never bought these types of bracelets before. I don't know what it's like to repair them. What if the owner cons me?" Marilyn was worried."I don't know, either." Larissa wasn't lying. She had never bought jewelry like this. She just thought that this was a trustworthy shop."If you're worried about it, you can put off the repairs. I'll ask about it another day and see if there are any reliable j

The glass shattered into pieces. Orange juice splattered everywhere, including her legs and her slippers."You …" Lewis looked at the orange liquid around his feet, despair written all over his face.He would have kept his mouth shut if he'd known that this would happen."What's wrong? What happened?" Wendy ran out of her room. When she saw the scene in the dining room, she was stunned. "What happened?"It was like Lewis had seen an angel. Between coughs, he spat out, "Water …"Wendy immediately understood him and ran to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water.He drank half of it in one gulp. It was only then that Lewis breathed easier.Larissa was still in shock."Is it true? That Marilyn is the traitor?"She couldn't believe her ears."But hasn't she worked at Blue Star Shipping for years? Have there been other secrets leaked to Moorewell Shipping?""Not before." After his violent choking, Lewis' voice was hoarse. "But I have proof."Larissa's heart skipped a beat. "Wha

"Oh, it's no hassle at all!" Wendy waved her hands around. "It's the least I could do."…Marilyn didn't know that Larissa had moved. Thus, Larissa had to go to her old apartment to wait for her before she came.So as to not arouse Marilyn's suspicions, Lewis drove Wendy's car. He waited in a corner.When Marilyn arrived, she called Larissa.Larissa waited around on the first floor. She acted as if she'd just walked out. She ran toward Marilyn hurriedly.Once Larissa was buckled up, Marilyn handed her a McRonald's bag. "It's still so early. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I passed a McRonald's and got you something."Larissa did not take it."Thanks, but I ate at home."Larissa didn't dare to eat something so random."What?" Marilyn was stunned. She urged, "Why don't you eat a little? It's still warm. What about some coffee?""It's okay." Larissa was determined. "I had a big breakfast. I'm pretty full.""Fine." Marilyn put the things into the backseat reluctantly.

Larissa had not even considered the possibility of Marilyn having a gun.She had Lewis had considered everything—or so they thought.They rarely ever saw a normal person holding a gun. They forgot that they were living in a country where guns were everywhere.To avoid provoking Marilyn, Larissa turned off her phone.However, Marilyn was still not satisfied.She rolled down the window and ordered, "Throw it out!"Larissa glanced at her phone, which she'd only begun using a month ago. She gritted her teeth and threw it out.Marilyn rolled the window back up.Through the gradually narrowing gap, Larissa could see that the cars behind them had run over her phone."Where are you taking me?" Larissa asked."Don't you worry about that." Marilyn was not intending to let her in on the secret. "You'll know when you get there.""I thought we were friends." Larissa stared at her calmly."Friends?" Marilyn sneered. "Do friends date their friends' crushes behind their back and pretend to

Her smile was ominous."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Marilyn turned to look at her darkly. "If I'd known that, I wouldn't have done so many irreversible things. And you wouldn't have to …"She trailed off."Wouldn't have to what?" Larissa asked.But Marilyn refused to answer.She was acting really weird. Larissa began growing panicked."Calm down," she tried advising. "There's nothing you're doing that you can't take back. If you're willing to stop now, I can pretend that nothing ever happened today.""You can do that, but what about before? Can you pretend that I never told my father Blue Star's confidential information? Even if you can, what about Gary and Lewis?"Marilyn refused to let her go. "Since I'll never have Lewis, I'll destroy you all! I will destroy you so that you'll never be able to love anyone again!"The more she spoke, the crazier she got.It was like she'd prepared herself for the end. Larissa knew that she was too far gone to be saved. She had no choic
