Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 218

When they reached the bottom of the stairs, a loud thud came from upstairs as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

“Mom!” Lana cried in desperation “Larissa, come back quickly! Mom fainted”

“If she fainted, call an ambulance. What use am 1? Larissa did not fall for their trap again.

From the first floor, Xavier ordered his staff, “Stop her!” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Mrs. Harris, who was closest, rushed forward, but Kevan grabbed her arm and flung her aside, causing her to hit the wall and let out a loud groan. The subsequent people who followed. experienced the same outcome, to the point that the other servants were too scared to approach and kept their distance.

Larissa, with Kevan’s help, left the Seymours with no obstacles.

Kevan’s car was parked outside the courtyard, a black Maybach with a Bartham license plate and

the number 8888

Larissa thought to herself about how wealthy and mighty Kevan was.

“Do you have your ID with you?” Kevan asked her

Larissa took out her ID from the pocket of her jeans, “I have it.”

That was the only thing she had when Xavier brought her back from Covenford. In order to be able to escape at any time, she made sure to keep her ID in her pocket whenever she changed clothes It proved to be a wise decision

“If you don’t have any other business to attend to, let’s go to the airport now for the earliest flight

back to Covenford,” Kevan said.

“Okay.” Larissa couldn’t ask for more.

After the excitement of successfully escaping from the Seymours subsided, she calmed down and

asked Kevan, “How did you end up at the Seymours?”

She had asked him this question, but his answer sounded like a lie to him.

“I want to hear the truth,” she emphasized.

Kevan raised an eyebrow, a small smirk appearing on his lips. “What I said before was the truth.”

Larissa didn’t believe him.

Even if he really couldn’t contact her and was worried, there was no need for him to fly all the way

from Covenford to find her. Their relationship wasn’t worth such trouble.

“Forget it if you don’t believe me.” Kevan didn’t intend to convince her.

“But you” he glanced at her sideways. “Weren’t you determined to cut off all ties with the Seymours? Why did you come back to Bartham?”

“I was brought back by my stepfather,” Larissa told him about everything Xavier had done. “He said my mom is in the late stages of uterine cancer and forced me to come back to see her. But I

guess my mom is probably fine.”

Yvette indeed wasn’t sick.

After the last time Yvette went to Covenford looking for Larissa, Kevan had people watching her and Xavier. As a result, he received the news that she went to the hospital for an examination and bribed the doctor to forge medical records.

He didn’t initially know what she was planning, but when he learned that Xavier had met with Jay multiple times, he decided to be cautious and bought some secrets from Jay’s secretary. eventually learning about the planned marriage alliance between the Coles and Seymours.

Jay’s son, Reuben, was not the publicly known one. As far as Kevan knew, the real Reuben was an ugly and useless waste of space. There was no way Xavier and Yvette would give Lana, their precious daughter, in marriage to him.

In other words, they could only target Larissa. Kevan had considered stopping it in advance, but after careful consideration, he finally decided to play along with their scheme.
