Chapter 303
Sweet Subterfuge
Larissaâs chest tightened, almost suffocating her.
Instinctively, the assistant looked at Larissa, his face filed with distress.
Such a cruel decision should not be made by him, However *Tell Lanssa that I will definitely avenge her, so she wonât have to feel wronged.â Kewanâs chilling words that sealed her late sounded from the speakerphone and crushed Larissaâs hopes into bits.
*Kevan, you coward!â Jay shouted loudly. âHow could you let a woman die in your place?
There was a brief silence on the other end of the call âI am not a coward.â Kevanâs steady voice seemed unaffected by Jayâs provocation. âBy staying alive. I can do more things to torture you.
For example, your son would suffer a fate worse than death inside prison.â
Jayâs eyes widened with shock. âWhat are you going to do to Reuben?â
He got down from the railing and rushed toward Kevanâs assistant, trying to sn atch the phone away from him.
The assistant evaded Jayâs attack easily and held the phone firmly in his hand.
âTake a guess,â Kevan sneered in a mocking tone.
âIm warning you, Kevan! Donât mess around with my son!â Jay was truly worried.
âMr. Cole, Itâs not me whoâs messing around.â Kevan laughed.
changed my mind Jay shouted. âI donât want your lives anymore! Just make sure my son will have a good life in prison! Promise me!â
âI promise.â Kevan said.
âFiner Jay closed his eyes for a moment. âRemember what you said!â
With that, he ran to the edge of the rooftop and climbed onto the railing once more.
âKevan Rogers, if anything untoward happens to my son, I will not forgive you will definitely haunt you to your grave!â
Leaving an ominous threat Jay leaped off the building.
Moments later, Larissa heard teed screams coming from below.
Kevanâs assistant quickly helped her down from the railing and untied the ropes binding her hands and feet.
Kevanâs call was still connected.
Suddenly, a womanâs voice was heard on the speaker. âKevan, howâs Larissa?â
It was Ruby!
So, Kevanâs urgent work matters were to keep Ruby company?
Larissa couldnât help but laugh mockingly at herself.
âIm line,â she said.
âThatâs good to hear.â There wasnât a trace of relief in Revanâs stoic tone.
Without another word of concern, Kevan hung up.
His assistant helped Larissa to her. âMs. Seymour, can you walk?â
Larissa look a few steps but the pain was too much to bear She shook her head and smiled bitterly. âCan you help me call an ambulance?â
Lanssa sustained a fractured leg, and her body was bruised in multiple places by Jayâs assault.
However, since the perpetrator had committed suicide, Larissa had to accept that there was no way for justice to be served.
It wasnât until the evening that Kevan finally appeared in her ward.
âDonât take to near the harsh words I said on the phone just now,â Kevan said indifferently, as if it didnât matter to him whether she took to heart orcel.
âunderstand.â Larissa nodded with a faint smile. âI know that you were just trying to delay him.â
âThatâs good,â Kevan clenched his fists that were hidden in his pockets.
Maintaining an air of indifference, he continued. âHave a good rest at the hospital. I need is go to the police station to hr pcut with their investigation, sc I see you again tomorrow.â
