Semua Bab Sweet Subterfuge: Bab 241 - Bab 250

The only thing Larissa could do was move her head haphazardly to avoid Dorian's disgusting, stinky mouth.The assistant frantically pounded on the door outside, shouting, "Mr. Cole, please open the door! Or else I'll call the police!"But Dorian turned a deaf ear to it. Gripping Larissa's suit jacket, he ripped it, causing the buttons to pop off and scatter onto the floor.He then did the same thing to her shirt, causing irreparable damage to the two garments. The suite's thermostat was on, but Larissa only felt cold, especially when her chest was exposed to the air with Dorian's lewd gaze upon it."Mr. Cole, sexual assault is against the law." She struggled to keep herself calm, but her voice could not help but tremble. "If you stop now, I can pretend nothing has happened and will not hold you accountable.""What assault?" Dorian was dismissive. He even retorted unapologetically, "You're my future wife. How is this considered sexual assault?""I am married, Mr. Cole!" Larissa

"My apologies, Mr. Cole." Larissa's attitude was equally just as firm. "I'm afraid you will not be able to give me the compensation that I want."Suppose Dorian was acting irrationally under the influence of alcohol. In that case, she might have chosen to compromise for the hotel's sake. After all, Summer Entertainment had collaborated with Regal Dynasty multiple times. If their production was filmed in Covenford, they would typically choose Regal Dynasty as the base for the entire production crew.But she noticed a micro camera in Dorian's room. It was placed on the TV stand, facing the bed. The camera was tiny, resembling a regular USB drive. If Larissa hadn't worked in the hotel industry for a long time and had seen all kinds of micro cameras, she would not have noticed it at all.At that moment, she felt cold, having figured out in an instant that Dorian planned all of this.She did not know what he was going to do with the footage, but it would definitely be something he could

Larissa had been wondering how her phone could have shut off with 50% battery remaining. It turned out that it was because of Kevan's calls.He normally never called her, only sending a text via WhatsApp when he was coming home late, but today …He probably had something important to do. Otherwise, he would not have called her so many times.Larissa quickly called him back, and he answered on the first ring."Where are you now?" Kevan's words were rushed, his voice low and cold.Larissa had just opened her mouth, but Kevan had taken over without even giving her a chance to say hello."I'm at home."She felt inexplicably guilty from how aggressive his aura was.Kevan grunted in acknowledgment, and his voice was gentler than before. "I have something I need to deal with over here. Dylan will find you later. Stay with him and don't go anywhere else. Wait for me to come home."Larissa had a fleeting moment of disillusionment—he seemed to have taken her for a child.Larissa's chee

StreamWave …It was clearer and clearer who the culprit was.As for why it was an operational computer … Lana was probably afraid they might trace it back to her. But this diversion was useless as the only person in StreamWave who had a connection to Reuben was her."Did the police find Lana yet?""They did, but Lana denied it. She said that Reuben was framing her. There isn't any direct evidence to prove that she's the one using the account, so the police can't do anything about her."One was innocent until proven guilty. Even if everyone knew what was up, no one could punish her with the law, not to mention that Lana's plan was well-considered.Reuben tried to provide his chat history with her to prove that he was telling the truth, but he could not produce his phone. Even after he had turned the hotel room upside down, there was no sign of his phone.Based on his memory, he never used his phone again after Lana got someone to deliver the camera.The police promptly requested

Larissa left Jay's room, fully aware that she might face termination by the general manager. However, she was not afraid of this outcome. Jay might have the power to cost her job, but he was not able to do whatever he liked in Covenford.With her credentials and skills, finding another job in the industry wouldn't be difficult for Larissa. Surprisingly, the whole afternoon passed without any communication from the general manager.Larissa did not know if it was because Jay had not complained about her or if he did complain and the general manager chose to overlook the matter.But regardless of whichever it was, she did not care.…Not long after she clocked out, Larissa received a phone call from Zero, whom she had not met for a long time."My Lady Luck, you free tonight? You cool with supper?"Zero rarely called her out for a hangout, so Larissa could not find it in herself to refuse her."Sure. Send me the address."Supper was at a Southern-style diner that sold greasy foo
