Chapter 153
Sweet Subterfuge
Lana would often ask about Kevan when she lived with Larissa, âLarissa why havenât I seen you going on dates with Mr. Rogers?â
âWhy donât you invite him to join us for a meal?â
âMaybe I should go back to my own room, so you can ask Mr. Rogers to come and hang out for a while?â
The constant mention of Kevan made Larissa suspect that Lana had developed feelings for him.
She wasnât Kevanâs real girlfriend, and Lana had unilaterally broken up with Lucas. Neither Lana nor Kevan were officially in a committed relationship, so it shouldnât be a big deal even Lana really liked Kevan.
But the problem was that Lana didnât seem to care that Kevan was Larissaâs âboyfriendâ and kept talking about him and bringing him up in conversations. That annoyed Larissa slightly.
50. Larissa deliberately said, âYes, you willâ And Lanaâs expression quickly tumed gloomy. âYou prioritize romance over sisterhood!â She hallâaccused Larissa in a joking manner, âYeah, youâre right,â Larissa replied calmly.
It had been hall a month since the house was listed with the real estate agency, and Larissa finally received a call from them.
âMs. Seymour, did you rent out the house by yourself? The real estate agent, who had previously assisted her, sounded angry and showed no signs of the previous warmth and politeness.
Larissa was confused. âNo, I entrusted everything to you, didnt 17â
She didnât even war to step foot in that house anymore. If it werenât for the large furniture Items that had nowhere to go and couldnât be moved. she would have sold the house long ago.
âStop with the lies!â the agent sneered. âI brought some people to look at the house today and lound out that someone was already living there! They told me that the house was rented to them by the owner!
And you are the owner of the house, right?â
Larissa became even more bewildered upon hearing that âYes, Iâm the owner, but I didnât rent it out.â
Since the agent didnât believe her. she added, âI go and check it out tomorrow, and I. delinitely give you an explanation.â
The next day. Larissa went to the house after she linished work. She used her key, only to discover that it wouldnât lit into the lock. Just as she was wondering why, someone opened the door from inside, and a tall middleâaged man appeared. He looked at Larissa cautiously and asked in an unfriendly manner.
âWho are you?â
The agent was right there was indeed someone Iving in the house. But she didnât recognize this person and hadnât seen him before. 50, She straightened her posture and replied confidently. âIâm the owner of this house, and who are you?â
âYou said youâre the owner, but do you have any evidence? the man asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. Larissa pulled out the prepared copy of the property deed and her own card. Then, she handed them to the man, âHere, the evidence.â
The man scrutinized the property deed and 10 card meticulously, but instead of believing her, he began to accuse her, exclaiming, âLook at you! Youâre so young and wellâdressed, yel youâre involved in fraudulent activities! Did you forge the property deed? Honey, call the police!â
