Chapter 972
Sweet Subterfuge
Larissa had not even considered the possibility of Marilyn having a gun.
She had Lewis had considered everythingâor so they thought, They rarely ever saw a normal person holding a gun. They forgot that they were living in a country where guns were everywhere.
To avoid provoking Marilyn, Larissa turned off her phone.
However, Marilyn was still not satisfied.
She rolled down the window and ordered. Throw it out!â
Larissa glanced at her phone, which sheâd only begun using a month ago. She gritted her teeth and threw it out.
Marilyn rolled the window back up.
Through the gradually narrowing gap, Larissa could see that the cars behind them had run over her phone.
âWhere are you taking me? Larissa asked.
âDonât you worry about that.â Marilyn was not intending to let her in on the secret. âYouâll know when you get there.â
âI thought we were friends.â Larissa stared at her calmly.
âFriends? Marilyn sneered. âDo friends date ther hiendsâ crushes behind their back and pretend to be their wingwomen all along? Do friends do gross things like that to each other?â
Her questions bewildered Larissa.
âSince when have I secretly dated someone you liked?â
If her intuition was to be trusted, Marilynâs crush was Lewis.
Larissa had indeed tried to nudge them toward each other, but she and Lewis were not what Marilyn thought.
âArenât you and Lewis dating?â Marilyn asked, hatred filing her eyes.
âNo.â Larissa denied at once.
âI have eyes. I can tell that you are!â Marilyn did not bejeve her. âIn all the years Iâve worked at Blue Star, Ive never seen Lewis be so friendly with another woman besides you! Yet you care say that youâre not his girlfriend.â
âIâm not Lanssa sighed.
Sheâd thought of all the possible reasons why Marilyn would hate her, but she hadnât considered Lewis.
âIâm his cousin. Gary Logan is my father.â Larissa had no choice but to reveal her identity to protect her life.
âWhat a preposterous lie! Marilyn sneered. âI know them well, Iâve done my research, Gary has never married. There are no women by his side! On top of that, his last name is Logan, and yours is Seymour. Donât you dare try to lie to me!â
âThe person you hired probably only learned about Gary Logan after he founded Blue Star Shipping.
Before coming to Aidovla, he got married in Calder. It just didnât last very long.
âMy mother divorced him before I was born, and married again before giving birth to me. Thatâs why I look my stepfatherâs name. I thought youâd understand this.
âDonât you and your father share different names? Larissa had said that on purpose, However, she didnât know if that was true or not.
âHow how did you know?â Marilynâs eyes grew wide. Her hands trembled. The steering wheel wobbled, and they nearly crashed into a nearby car.
But she regained her composure quickly. âHave you Investigated me before? No. It must have been a team ellort.â She considered things for a while and pul two and two together. âYou, Lewis, and Gary all know that I am Mr. Moorewellâs illegitimate daughter.â
Larissa had not known that.
âThatâs right.â She stared right into Marilynâs eyes. âYou are also the one who conspired with Judy and leaked our project.â
Marilyn burst into laughter.
âI thought I could foal Lewis. Iâd considered everything. The only thing I hadnât considered is the fact that youâre Garyâs daughter.â
