Chapter 387
Sweet Subterfuge
âIf you get a third chance at marriage, you should try to get pregnant as soon as possible.â Lana advised.
âAt your age, it becomes increasingly difficult to conceive the longer you delay, and the risks are also higher.â Every word she spoke carried an air of sincerity, although she was subtly adding salt to Larissaâs wound. However, Larissa didnât mind it at all and played along. She nodded and gave a faint response.
As they approached the escalator, Larissa prepared to step onto it when she suddenly felt a strong jolt on her arm. Lana, seemingly lost in her thoughts, had missed a step. With that, she fell forward and pulled Larissa along with her. Larissa managed to grab onto the handrail to steady herself, while Lana ended up falling onto the escalator, âAh! Lana cried out in pain, promoting her bodyguard to swiftly stop the escalator. They immediately helped her up from the ground. Tears streamed down Lanaâs face as she glared at Larissain disbelief.
Amidst her tears, she accused, âLarissa, why did you push me?â
Larissaâs mind went blank for two seconds, and upon regaining her senses, she realized everything had been a trap set by Lana. Nevertheless, she remained composed and calmly stated, âI didnât push you.â
Lanaâs tears continued to flow unabated. âLarissa, I donât think I have ever done anything to offend you.
Iâm not the one who caused your cument misery, so why did you treat me-
The bodyguards swiftly intervened, shielding Lana from any further confrontation. âMadam, you should go to the hospital and let us deal with this.â
âItâs fine.â Lana waved her hand dismissively, then turned her aggrieved gate toward Larissa.
Addressing the bodyguard, she added. âMy sister didnât do it on purpose. I go to the hospital now. Donât tell my husband about this.â
The bodyguard looked perplexed. âWhat if he asks-
âJust say that I fell on my own.â Lana âgenerously shifted the blame onto herself, Larissa watched as Lana departed, accompanied by her entourage of vigilant bodyguards. She suddenly lost all her appetite even though She was hungry just now. In the end, Larissa didnât eat or watch a movie. Instead, she got a taxi home.
When Larissa arrived home, she received a call from Yvette. âYou ungrateful bra!! Lana was kind to you and even gited you a sixâmilion- dollar bracelet How could you push her onto the escalator? Larissa what is your heart made up of, huh? I really regret giving birth to someone like you!â
Larissa ended the call and blocked her number. Yvetteâs call was a sign that her peaceful life was about to end. It didnât take long before Violet called her. âLan, did you push Lana?â
Violet knew that Larissa and Lana werenât on good terms. However, she never inquired much about it.
While Violet had faith in Larissaâs character, she couldnât entirely rule out the possibility that Larissa had been angered by Lana, causing her to take action.
*I'm not suspecting your Violet was worried that Larissa would misunderstand and hurriedly took her side.
Then, she continued, âItâs just that Lanaâs pregnancy appeared to be unstable, so Bernard and his family came to us, demanding an explanation.â
