All Chapters of Sweet Subterfuge: Chapter 471 - Chapter 480

Larissa had been sticking to a regular routine for some time now in order to take care of Aster. But this time, her sleep quality had dropped, and she unexpectedly got a headache. She wasn't sure if it was a sign of getting older or simply leading an overly comfortable life before.Her temples throbbed persistently, accompanied by nausea and chest tightness. As a result, she couldn't focus during the meeting and couldn't recall what others had said.After she instructed her secretary to make a photocopy of the meeting minutes for her, she headed downstairs alone. Her headache became unbearable, and she urgently needed to visit the pharmacy to purchase a box of painkillers.There were guests going through the check-in process at the front desk, which was a common sight in hotels. She merely glanced at them and continued walking but stopped when she heard the words "presidential suite". The Winston Hotel, being a five-star hotel rivaling Regal Dynasty Hotel, naturally offered presidenti

Larissa made it to the room Gary had booked and found that he was already waiting for her inside. Most of the guests who stayed at the Winston Hotel were wealthy because five thousand dollars was the minimum spending for a room that could only accommodate ten people. Of course, the price per head of eating at the hotel's restaurant was a lot higher than other places, so nobody had to worry about not spending up to five thousand dollars. However … If there were only two people, then it was a different story altogether.Gary handed Larissa the menu and hinted intentionally, "Pick the more expensive dishes." However, Larissa felt embarrassed to do so. "You're an esteemed guest at our hotel, so you're exempt from the minimum spending rule," she lied. Anyway, she had a say in these matters after all. She picked two averagely-priced dishes and pushed the menu back to him. "Here, see if you would like to add anything," she said.Gary ordered one of each of the most expensive dishes the re

Aster and Kevan were playing online games at home. The gaming console was connected to the television and the living room resounded with the game's background music and their shouts of excitement. This was the scene that met Larissa's eyes when she got there. Her anger inexplicably burned even brighter, and she slammed the door shut. The two people inside immediately kept quiet, and their smiles vanished. Aster threw down his controller and rushed to Larissa, throwing his arms around her tightly. "I'm sorry, Mommy!" he apologized sweetly, sneaking glances at her with his gleaming eyes. Larissa's heart melted a little, but she forced herself to remain steadfast. She pulled him away expressionlessly and watched as a look of panic crossed his face while he teared up. "Mommy …" Aster pouted miserably and his voice was a lot softer than before. In the blink of an eye, Kevan had switched off the television and walked over to them. "Sorry," he said to Larissa. His gaze was dark and hi

Microworks Corporation used the rumors they had accumulated over the years to attract a large number of diehards like him. At this critical juncture, those diehards became a free army for Microworks to "eradicate" Rubik Corporation to uphold justice. Kevan had to admit that he was quite grateful for this. It made him more determined to develop and produce high-quality games. He couldn't disappoint those players when they had such expectations. Although there was much backlash, Galeforce's popularity was not badly affected. The number of downloads and active players ranked the game first on the list of domestic games. The daily cash reloads were also showing a very positive number. When it was nearing the date of Rubik Corporation's new game release, the company posted an apology on its official Twitter page saying that a technical error had occurred due to rushing the deadline. Hence, the release of the game would be postponed indefinitely. Rubik Corporation was a despised presen

News of Roland's death had somehow leaked out. The entrance to the alley was filled with cars, so he had to instruct his driver to park the car a street away and walk there himself. It was already late at night. Normally, Roland would have already gone to bed at this hour. There wouldn't have been any lights switched on in Pine Mansion. However, today the whole mansion was brightly lit. Every spot was crowded with people coming and going out of the mansion. Everyone was dressed in dark clothing that blended into the darkness as they walked along the alleyway. Ben stood at the entrance of Pine Mansion to receive guests who came to pay their respects. His eyes were swollen from crying and the expression on his face was one of sorrow.When he saw Kevan, he couldn't help but shed a tear. "Young Mr. Rogers, you've finally returned!"Pursing his lips tightly, Kevan's face was tense as he stared at Ben blankly, without any emotion in his gaze. It was as if he was looking a
