Sitting at the main head table were the three Rogers brothers and their sons. The women and grandchildren were arranged to sit at the next head table close by.The moment Kevan got closer, Anthony stood up and waved at him. "Kevan, here!"The gazes of everyone else at the table only fell on him then.There was an empty seat next to Anthony, which had clearly been left for Kevan.Kevan did not take his seat at once but went over to Bernard to give him the prepared gift. "Happy birthday, Uncle Bernard." Kevan smiled faintly, his voice had a rare trace of gentleness when faced with all these people—he was always good with pulling superficial performances, even during the years in which the relationship of his side and theirs was at its most strained. He never did anything that could allow anyone to hold leverage over him when it came to public and social settings.It was just that, ever since he "lost" his memory, he was colder to his family and friends. So, his attitude today surpri

Kevan ignored her words, feeling for his phone to text Dylan via WhatsApp. "Give me a call in ten minutes."He only came for his parents' sake. Now that all social formalities had been taken care of, it was time to "retreat." He did think of accompanying his parents until the end of the event, but it was annoying to be in the company of Uncle Bernard's family, and he could not stand their drivel.Seeing that Kevan disregarded her completely, Maria had trouble keeping the smile on her face. "Kevan, boy, it's not that I'm criticizing you or whatever." The reproach in her voice grew stronger. "Earning money may be important, but you should be supporting your parents well too! When your parents are gone a few years later, who are you going to spend all that money on?""Don't worry, Aunt Maria." Kevan put his phone down and smiled faintly. "The money I give my parents every year is more than what your sons are able to earn combined. Besides, I have a daughter to raise too, so I must work

Dylan's phone call only came after Kevan had reached the bottom floor of the hotel. "I'm already out." Kevan waved off the lobby manager and walked straight out of the hotel before getting into his car."So soon?" Dylan was a little surprised but figured it out after a moment's thought. "Those vampires tried to create trouble for you again?"Although Kevan did not like those two families, he never started anything on his end. He only ever retaliated because the two Rogers branch families kept provoking him on purpose. Not wanting to dwell on this subject further, Kevan asked Dylan, "How're things with you?"Dylan glanced at the ward door that was firmly shut next door before lowering his voice. "Something did happen."Kevan's nerves were pulled taut at once as he slammed the gas pedal all the way down. The black Maserati shot out like an arrow loose from a bow as it raced away through the night.…It normally took 45 minutes to get to Victory General Hospital from Regal Dynasty b

Larissa did not know how many times she had come to and left Bartham Airport. The weirdest thing about it was that whenever she was here, her mood would become strangely grave—it was as if she had gone back to that fateful day when she left Caldor six years ago."Time to go." When it was almost time to board the flight, Lewis helped Gary up before reaching out to grip the handles of the wheelchair."Okay." Feeling the wheelchair move, Larissa put away all her nonsensical thoughts and gripped the phone that Kevan forced into her hand last night tightly.Gary was walking next to her, and he saw that phone. Snorting coldly, he sneered. "We're about to leave, and he doesn't even want to come see us off!"He had not named the subject in his words, but Larissa knew who he was complaining about. She flipped the phone over, and the screen lit up because of her actions—there was still no word from him. Larissa pressed her lips tightly together, and the empty hole in her heart felt cold.Ga

Lately, Xavier had been incredibly swamped as he attended one dinner party after another. The organizers of these parties ranged from bosses of entertainment companies, agents, actors, and of course, major investors, who were eager to impress him and gain his favor.That night, he was being entertained by a B-list female star. After wining and dining, it was a no-brainer that they booked a hotel room together. Just as they had removed their clothes and gotten cozy in the bedroom, the door was pounded on violently."Open up! Police!" Xavier's buzz vanished in an instant.The female star, who was clinging to him like an octopus just moments ago, freaked out. She pushed him away and scrambled to put on her clothes. Xavier grabbed his underwear, shook with nerves as he got dressed, and put on his slippers before cautiously approaching the door.He placed his hand on the doorknob and cautiously peered through the peephole—there stood several tall men in police uniforms standing outs
