Dylan and Kevan had known each other for over a decade, but this was the first time Dylan had seen him in such a sorry state. In Dylan's memory, Kevan was always calm and composed. No matter what challenges he faced, he was unshakable. Naturally, Dylan knew how close Kevan was to his grandfather, allowing him to empathize with Kevan's overwhelming emotions. In the end, Dylan stopped trying to advise Kevan. He could only look on helplessly as Kevan drank himself into a stupor and blacked out on the sofa. As Kevan was tall and well-built, it was impossible for Dylan to carry him out on his own. Furthermore, he was completely unconscious. Dylan asked the staff to bring in some blankets so that they could spend the night in the private room.The shock of Roland's death was too great, causing Kevan to suddenly develop a high fever in the middle of the night. He started speaking incoherently, mumbling his grandfather's and Larissa's names with an anguished expression on his fac

Kevan was aware of the prospective partnership between Blue Star Shipping and Soaring Corporation. He had people keeping an eye on Cody's every move. Each action that Cody took was reported to Kevan in a timely manner. However, he didn't pay much attention to this matter.Over the past few years, Cody had been throwing money at different investments. Thanks to Kevan pulling some strings behind the scenes, most of Cody's ventures ended up failing, resulting in a loss of billions of dollars. Cody himself didn't have that much personal wealth to invest. He invested in those ventures using the name of Soaring Corporation and embezzled funds from the company. Now that all of them incurred huge losses, Cody had no way to repay the money he'd embezzled. The board of directors in Soaring Corporation had started to question Cody about the deficit in their account books. Because of this, Cody was struggling financially and had been desperate for ways to raise more money. Natur

After Larissa had arranged for Gary to be admitted to the hospital and ensured that he had completed all the necessary examinations, she left the hospital.Shortly after her departure, Alex went to meet Gary. Since he just suffered from a seizure, Gary wasn't feeling too well. In addition, he had to go to different departments in different buildings of the hospital for his examinations. After getting poked and prodded at, Gary collapsed on the hospital bed out of exhaustion. However, when he heard the sound of the door opening, Gary opened his eyes groggily.Initially, Gary thought that Alex was a doctor coming to check up on him as he was wearing a white coat, so Gary forced himself to sit up. He did not expect to be greeted with an ingratiating smile on Alex's face as he approached the bed. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Logan!" Gary was momentarily taken aback by Alex's effusive greeting, but the expression on his face remained nonchalant as he was used to people trying to c

Shortly after Larissa returned to the hotel, she heard the news of Roland's passing. With Roland's status and influence, every move that he made garnered considerable attention, even though he had already taken a backseat from his company's affairs. Understandably, his sudden death dropped a bomb on the whole country. Since last night, many important figures of the business world had rushed to Pine Mansion and caused extensive congestion in that area, drawing complaints from neighbors living nearby. Similarly, various media outlets and government departments received numerous complaints over the phone regarding the slow-moving traffic.Although the Winston Hotel was considered a rival to the Regal Dynasty Hotel, more than half of their management had jumped ship from the Regal Dynasty or other hotels and resorts under the Soaring Corporation. They still felt a sense of gratitude toward their former employer. Even though most of them had never seen Roland in person during the

Violet saw a group of people clearly waiting for Larissa and obliged reluctantly, swallowing back any words to make her stay. Larissa bid farewell and left with her colleagues in the direction of the exit. Just as she stepped over the threshold, she saw three intimidating figures approaching Pine Mansion. They were Xavier, Yvette, and Lana.Rumors said that Cody and Lana had gotten a divorce after she caught him cheating on her. Larissa wasn't interested in either of them, so she hadn't paid much attention to this issue. She didn't see Lana by Cody's side earlier, that was why she assumed that the rumors were true. At this moment, she wasn't so sure. Regardless, it would be best for her to leave. Hanging her head, Larissa stepped aside deliberately to avoid them. Even so, Yvette recognized her immediately. "Larissa? You're back!" Yvette grabbed Larissa's hand, her eyes wide with disbelief.Larissa couldn't hide any longer. She looked up with an expressionless f
