Suddenly, Larissa remembered that Amber was still available!Although she did not know what had happened between Travis and Amber, their relationship was still much more intimate than hers and Travis'. Amber should obviously be in charge of paying for his medical fees."Please wait a moment, okay? I'll check if Travis has any other relatives or friends that you can contact. If I find their numbers, I'll let you know. Is that okay?" Larissa asked for the nurse's opinion.The nurse replied rather reluctantly, "Well, okay. But you must hurry!"Larissa did not actually have Amber's number, but she did have a bunch of Travis' colleagues' contact numbers. Texting them in their shared group chat, she asked, "Do you guys have Amber's number? Can you send it to me?"Several of them replied, "Isn't Amber in jail? Why do you want her number?"Larissa was surprised. She picked a more familiar colleague and asked in private, "When did Amber end up in jail? What did she do?"That person was t

This time it was Sharon's turn to be confused."You're leaving? Where are you going?""Something came up." Larissa had no intention to tell her more. She simply dipped her head in farewell and said, "Let's meet again in the future, Ms. Davis."…Kevan went back to the lounge with a stony face. The scattered crowd began to gather again. However, this time, he no longer had the mood to deal with them and blocked them off without saying anything."Mr. Rogers!" Sharon, who was sitting before the floor-to-ceiling window, waved at him.Out of everyone in the villa, he was the closest to Sharon, and she was likely the only woman apart from Larissa who did not try to flatter him in any way. Hence, he went over to her and asked in a low voice, "Is there something you needed, Ms. Davis?"Sharon did not hasten to answer his question, but she handed him the other glass of red wine from the table instead."I wonder if you'd be willing to drink with me." She smiled, but Kevan's eyes narrowed

Seeing her, Lucas got out of the car immediately."Ms. Seymour!" He waved at her excitedly, his smile brighter than before. It was as if something good had happened to him."Was there something else you needed?" Larissa asked him.Lucas kept grinning like a fool for a while before he managed to speak. "Mr. Rogers called me just now! Mr. Rogers! Called! Me! He called me in person!"Larissa patiently listened to his boasting, and only asked him once he finished, "Why did he call you?""Well, he asked if I was with you, and he also asked where we went." Lucas told her everything about the conversation he had with Kevan. "I told him I brought you to the hospital, and he told me not to leave and to flag you down when you come out so that he can come pick you up.""When did Mr. Rogers call you?" Larissa asked with a frown."The moment you entered the hospital. It was probably like half an hour ago," Lucas said.Larissa checked the time on her phone. It was after 9 pm now. It would ta

As for the second question…"I was going to tell you, but Ms. Davis said you went to the backyard…" Larissa thought about it before deciding not to tell him what else Sharon had told her. "I did not want to disturb you."Hearing this, Kevan frowned so deeply that the creases in his forehead could probably kill a fly."Why do you need to pay for your former husband's medical fees? Where is his family?"The moment this was brought up, Larissa got angry. "His parents ran off without him. The nurse could only contact me.""They only dared run off precisely because they knew you would come." Kevan laughed coldly. "Larissa, tell me, is your brain waterlogged?"Larissa reacted very quickly. This was Kevan insulting her for being an idiot!Although she was mad, she knew that he was right."If you didn't pay for it, see if they'd really leave their son behind."It was not as if Larissa had never thought of competing with Travis' parents on who could be more ruthless, but considering th

"I feel like it doesn't make a difference even if I pretend to be your girlfriend," she said seriously.Those who would willingly try to get in his pants would likely have low to no morals. Kevan having a girlfriend would not stop them from trying, and they may even delude themselves into thinking they could fight for the chance to be with him."How would you know that there would be no difference if you haven't even tried it yet?" Kevan was more optimistic than her, however. "Don't worry. I won't ask you to do everything a proper girlfriend should. You just need to do what you did today and show up to events with me. That should deter the women who have ideas about me."The banquet today was not that hard to get through—it would have been even better if those two ladies did not come looking for trouble.If it really were all like today…"Fine." Larissa decided that she would be a quiet wallflower at Kevan's side to pay off the 1.5-million-dollar debt. "But let's iron out the deta
