Chapter 635
Sweet Subterfuge
Kevan was afraid.
He seemed to be more anxious after reuniting with Larissa.
Kevan could guess the reason why the Hardy family was looking for Larissa. It was because of money.
After their abuse, Kevan knew that Larissa would not accept the Hardy familyâs demands.
Still, they might use Travisâ death as a ploy to soften Larissaâs heart.
Kevan didnât know everything about Larissa. Still he knew a lot about her. They had been together for so many years, after all Despite her sharp tongue and stubborn personality, she would relent if one persisted.
Kevan only liked it when Larissa relented for him, Kevan narrowed his eyes. Since Travis was dead, he had to disappear from this world. He could not be a hindrance to Larissa ever again.
A thick stack of documents slid out of the paper bag. They plopped on his office desk.
At first glance, Kevanâs eyes fell on a photo attached to a resume on the first page.
Earlier, his subordinate had given him information on the members of the Hardy family.
Kevan recognized that man in the photo as Travisâ younger brother, Andrew.
When Kevan first learned about him, Andrew was still a university student.
He ranked in the top three in his major. He also obtained the most prestigious scholarships every year.
He also held important positions in the student association and various clubs.
Judging from this, Andrew should have a brighter future than Travis. This would make him the only hope for the Hardy family after Travisâ death.
Alas, the problem with Andrew was his rotten character.
When Andrew became the president of the student association, he became arrogant.
None of his peers liked him, especially those from middle-class familles.
Such an unlikeable person would struggle to excel after entering the job market.
Andrewâs resume proved that things did unfold as Kevan predicted.
He graduated with a masterâs degree. He also managed to secure a job offer from one of the Fortune 500 companies. This elevated him ahead of his peers.
Andrewâs success didnât last long. His bad traits got the better of him.
Not only did he offend his colleagues, he even angered his direct superior.
In the end, they fired Andrew. His superiors couldnât stand having him around.
Other companies would call Andrewâs ex-superior for his feedback. Alas, he didnât hold back and exposed Andrewâs past ollenses at the company. This caused many job opportunities for Andrew to go down the drain.
Andrew had tried to beg for his ex-superior to be lenient on him, but he lgnored his pleas. In the end, Andrew sought legal counsel. He attempted to sue his former employer.
Alas, the company presented surveillance footage of him stealing the companyâs supplies. With that, Andrew had no choice but to give up on the lawsuit.
After this ordeal most companies within the industry heard about his misdeeds. They refused to hire him. Even the small companies that Andrew scomed before rejected his applications.
With no other options, he had to return to his hometown and leech of his parentâs money.
Travis didnât leave behind much of an inheritance. Also, Amber took hall of it by force.
They had a basic house without renovations and the one million dollars that Yvette gave them.
One million dolars was a small sum. But it was enough to sustain Travisâ parents for the rest of their lives. Alas, Andrew had an expensive Mestyle.
Travis used to give him a large monthly allowance.
Aber he passed away, Andrew did not change his habits.
In a few years, Andrew wasted that one million dollars.
Travisâ parents had to return to the workforce to support their son.
They took on add jobs. They also helped Andrew out by submitting his resume to various companies.
Still, they did not receive any response.
At their wits end, they decided to plot against Larissa.
