Gary and Lewis left Bartham after two days.Blue Star did not give them time off. They couldn't stay for long.Larissa's holidays were coming to an end as well. Half of the time, she was in the Rogers' villa.Because of the pandemic, most of the shops weren't open yet. She slept and ate at home most of the time and accompanied her family. It was quite nice.After the holidays, Kevan and Larissa went back to work.Aster was sent to the kindergarten that he'd been to before. Violet was the one who drove him to and fro.In fact, in order to better take care of him, the parents moved out of Rogers' villa and bought a house in Kevan and Larissa's neighborhood.The days passed in the blink of an eye.Blue Star's company in Bartham was quickly built. Lewis sent over a few loyal and trained employees to hold the fort with Larissa and hired people according to the company's needs. The company was soon on the right track, and the headquarters' work was moved over.Larissa grew busier an

Wendy said, "You have to walk faster than this, Larissa! It's almost time! Your husband can't wait!""Alright!" Larissa quickly gathered up her skirts and followed her.The sun was out.Its golden rays shone softly on the red carpet through the rose petals.Larissa suppressed her desire to stay here for a little while longer and quickly walked toward the end.It was the door to the glass hall.Gary held Aster's hand and his cane in the other, waiting for her at the entrance.When he saw her, Aster immediately let go of Gary's hand and rushed toward her. "You're so pretty today, Mommy!"Larissa patted his head and smiled gently. "Thank you."Aster was her flower boy. Like Gary, he was wearing a tuxedo with a little bowtie.He was holding a basket that was proportionate to his body. In it were rose petals of various colors and shapes.The music suddenly began playing.Gary walked up to her and extended his arm toward her. "Let's go."He looked at her with a smile, his eyes g
Chapter 1
Larissa Seymour only realized that Travis Hardy may have cheated on her after seeing the bunch of pregnancy supplies in his Amazon shopping cart.Back when Travis was wooing her, Larissa had told him frankly that she had no desire to have children. Travis had said, "That’s fine. It’s even better if it’s just the two of us." Only then did Larissa agree to be with him, and they got married.So, the pregnancy supplies were definitely not for her.Larissa thought for a moment. Among all the relatives and friends Travis had, the only one who had recently gotten pregnant was a female subordinate of his, Amber Fox.The last time their department had hosted a team gathering, she'd forgotten her keys and gone to Travis for his. She saw Amber rubbing the tiny bump on her stomach while sitting next to Travis. Their postures were definitely more intimate compared to their other colleagues.Larissa had not felt comfortable with it then, but when Amber greeted her graciously, she thought that s

Larissa did not return to the private room.The incident in the corridor had attracted the attention of quite a crowd. That naturally included Travis’ subordinates. They had seen Travis leaving with Amber in his arms, but not a single person showed any signs of shock or surprise.It was likely that they already knew about Travis and Amber’s affair.Thinking back to how she deliberately acted affectionately with Travis in front of them, Larissa thought herself an idiot. They were likely laughing at her on the inside.Doing everything in her power to hold back her tears, Larissa drove home.The house was dark. When she turned on the lights, everything was as she left it before leaving for the gathering.But the air had gotten significantly colder.Without further delay, Larissa stuffed all of her valuables into two large suitcases and headed straight to her workplace, the Regal Dynasty Hotel.She was the manager of the hotel’s housekeeping department, and she had a private staff
Chapter 3
During the morning meeting, the general manager announced the news of the "important guest" checking in and expected all department managers to supervise those under their command to ensure that they were as careful and meticulous as possible.As the housekeeping manager who had frequent direct contact with the "important guest," Larissa was held back for extra instructions and exhortations. "Mr. Rogers has extreme germaphobia, so the rooms must be kept clean at all times. Work together with the reception; the moment they see Mr. Rogers heading out, tell the cleaning staff to clean his rooms immediately. Additionally, the cleaning staff are not allowed to touch Mr. Rogers’ personal effects. Not even once!"Larissa thought it was a little ridiculous. "But what if Mr. Rogers left his clothes or whatever on the bed or something? Do we not make the bed for him then, just to avoid touching his clothes during cleaning?""Firstly, with his personality, Mr. Rogers would never just toss his

"I was drugged. Originally, I wanted to get you to find a call girl for me, but you didn’t pick up my calls… When you came up, I couldn’t hold myself back anymore," Kevan said as if his actions were justified, and there was no hint of regret on his face.Larissa was not quite able to react at the moment, so she failed to respond to him.Kevan swiftly turned away, avoiding eye contact with some guilt. He pulled open the bedside table drawer and retrieved a billfold. Then he drew out a card."This is my supplementary card. There’s no limit to it. Just swipe it whenever you want." He handed the card to her. "Consider it compensation for last night."While he was saying all that, he stared at the bed, not really daring to look at her. His heart was pounding faster than it usually did, and he held his breath, listening attentively to Larissa’s movements.Larissa had long since figured out that he was acting weird. Getting involved with him was her own choice. However, what he said earl

"Ms. Seymour here is my daughter-in-law. She’s been married to my son for almost a year but hasn’t gotten pregnant yet. We’ve never held it against her and wanted to take her to the hospital for checkups, but she refused no matter what. She even spoke aggressively to me in front of a bunch of relatives to embarrass me!"But even then, my foolish boy didn’t divorce her and kept protecting her! Since she’s incapable of getting pregnant, my son found a way and got a surrogate instead. She even agreed to it, but now that the surrogate is pregnant, she wants to back out of it! Two nights ago, she even pushed the surrogate down onto the floor at a fancy restaurant. The woman was already four months pregnant! Also, she poured hot stew all over the poor girl! The surrogate nearly lost the baby, and she’s still under observation at the hospital!"Tell me, people. How can she be so cruel!"Larissa always knew that Janine’s skills in distorting the truth were impeccable but hearing the ridicul
Chapter 6
Larissa's office was situated on the side of the hotel facing the street.Not long after she went upstairs, the sounds of police sirens could be heard below. She pushed open the window and looked down. There was a police car parked in front of the hotel’s main entrance. A few minutes later, two policemen led the Hardy couple out.What really surprised her was that they were not resisting. They did not even pull away from the police and followed them obediently into the car. Larissa only found out the reason later from Livie, who said, "Mr. Rogers said he was going to pay two million dollars for their lives. It scared them well. When they saw the police, it was like they’d found their saviors and insisted on going with them so that they would be protected."Livie continued to narrate with rapture, "You didn’t even see how they looked afterward, Ms. Seymour. They were just two total losers. It was hilarious."Larissa could not bring herself to laugh about it, however. Now that those
