Chapter 159
Sweet Subterfuge
There were two skinny boys standing beside Lana, both wearing branded hoodies and jeans with meticulously groomed hair. However, their naturally slouched postures and carefree laughter exuded a familiar loserâ vibe that Larissa was accustomed to, which contrasted with her impression of a sloppy homebody live streamer.
Raina immediately pulled Zero, saying, âLetâs leave later.â But it was already too late.
âIsnât that Bro Zero?â One of the boys waved at Zero. His expression was killed with arrogance and was devoid of politeness. âSorry, Bro Zero, Dark Knight and I beat you down to third place on the gift board today. I hope youâre not mad at us.â
Raina and Maggie were displeased with the boyâs manner of speaking, and even Larissa furrowed her brows upon hearing his words.
However, Zero remained indifferent. âNo, you deserved it.â
BestM had hoped that his taunt would enrage Zero. But since nothing happened, he could only clench his teeth in frustration, Dark Knight.
standing next to Best wore an unpleasant expression on his face.
The elevator arrived just in time. Lana, who had been engrossed in her phone, Inally lifted her head but avoided eye contact with anyone. Instead, she impatiently urged the two boys, âLetâs go! Stop wasting timer The two arrogant boys instantly became obedient and followed Lana into the elevator.
Meanwhile, Larissa was still processing what she had just witnessed even after the elevator doors had closed. She had never seen Lana exert such dominance. Lana had always appeared soft sweet and coquettish in front of her. But somehow, Larissa now had the impression that this dominant side of Lana was who she truly was.
âThose two used to call Zero Bro Zeroâ so sweetly when they first came here. They used to always come to our studio, saying they wanted to learn how to stream from you! But now, theyâve forgotten who they were once they tasted success! Raina said angrily, Zero grabbed Rainaâs shoulder and comforted her. âCalm down. Regardless. Iâm still in the top three, right?â
âYeah, but Iâm just angry! They didnât reach their current heights based on their own merits. Itâs all thanks to Lanaâs connections. How dare they mock you? They have no sense of decency! Letâs wait until the day Lana stops supporting them!â Raina crossed her arms and rolled her eyes as she spoke.
âAlright, alright. Thatâs enough. The elevator is here.â Another elevator arrived. Zero quickly pulled Raina toward it barely managing to stop her angry scolding.
The two elevators arrived within minutes of each other. Therefore, as they reached the ground floor, they happened to see Lana leaving the building with her two anchors. Another car was parked outside, and the boys skillfully opened the door and got in, but Lana didnât join them, Instead, she entered the black Maserati behind them.
Larissa recognized it at a glance. It was Kevanâs car. She was stunned and involuntarily stopped in her tracks. Could it be that there was something going on between Lana and Kevan? Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She gently pressed and rubbed her chest several times, but it provided no relief.
Laris âLarissa, are you okay? Zero noticed Larissaâs peculiar behavior, turned, and walked toward Larissa to support her. âAre you feeling Larissa waved her hand and forced a smile. âIâm line, my chest just feels a lille itchy.â Zeroâs tone was filled with doubt. Then, why does your complexion look so terrible?â
