Chapter 362
Sweet Subterfuge
âI tell you the details next time.â Kevan keyed in the passcode of the apartmentâs door.
Hearing the beeps that signified the door opening. Dylan was shocked. âHow do you know the passcode?â
âRubyâs living in my place.â Kevanâs expression remained unchanged, and his movements were natural. âItâs more secluded here, so itâs not that easy for Codyâs people to get in here.â
The pictureâtaking incident from before, after Kevan looked into it later, was done by people at Codyâs behest. Getting Ruby to move over was a way to comfort her, and on the other hand, Kevan also did not want the same thing to happen againâin case his mother caught him and started raging at him again.
âHow come I didnât know that you had a place here? Dylan looked around curiously, Kevan had never brought him here before.
âBefore moving to the floor above you, I bought a lot of properties.â Kevan sald mildly. That was when Microworks had yet to grow and develop, and his work focus remained on Soaring Corporation. That was the time period when the infighting amongst the Rogers was at its highest peak. His father had stepped down from his elevated position then, so the other two families set their sights on him. They used every lactic possible, going as lar as to hire hilmen to kill him.
In order to live and protect himself, he bought several properties on different stretches of land. No one knew which home he would go back to every night. After Microworks surpassed Soaring Corporation, he finally had the money and capablity to deal with his two uncles. Once they had quieted down, he and Dylan bought a place together and settled down completely.
Tsking, Dylan teased. âAre you bragging right now?â
Kevan eyed him from the corner of his eye and retorted. âBragging about the fact that I have to change my home of residence every day because my two uncles are trying to kill me?â
Dylan shut his mouth at once.
Kevan did not tell Ruby beforehand that he was coming. When he entered the apartment, he saw Rubyâwho was unkempt disheveled, and wearing a nightgownâlounging on the sofa, yawning widely without any care for her Image. When her gaze locked with Kevanâs, her mouth was still open, and she could not close it due to her shock.
When she finally reacted, it was already half a minute later.
âdevan? Why are you here?â She hurriedly got to her feel, anxiously tugging at the hem of her nightgown while deliberately turning away so he would not see her without makeup.
*The lawyer Iâve hired for you arrived in Bartham today, and I directly brought him over.â Kevan calmly retrieved a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinel as if he had not noticed her panic.
Dylan revealed himself from behind him, having put away his casual attitude and displaying one of a professional lawyer.
âHello, Ms. Cole.â He dipped his head lightly with a smile.
Seeing a stranger Ruby was even more panicked than ever. âUh, hi Hello? She greeted Dylan with a forced smile on her face before spinning around to head back to the bedroom. âLet me get changed, please take a seal!â
The coffee table in the living room was filled with empty takeout boxes, and the trash can seemed to have some food waste in it. There was the smell of greasy food hanging in the air, causing Kevan to frown.
Dylan snickered quietly with glee. âI guess you wonât be able to live in this apartment even if you wanted to! With how slovenly Ruby was. she was likely to fuck up Kevanâs apartment so badly that it would be beyond repair. However, Kevan did not get mad as he anticipated.
âIâve been planning to sell these properties anyway.â It was just that he had a lot of other things going on that delayed this plan, so he had not been able to do so on time.
âClear up this trash.â Kevan indicated the takeout boxes as he gave Dylan the order, while he himself went over to open the balcony doors.
