Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 215

Chapter 215 “Tried to seduce? Kevan repeated with a sneer. “Does my fiancée need to seduce anyone?” “It’s true! Seeing that he didn’t believe her, she dragged Reuben the “witness” into the mess with her. “Reuben, tell Mr. Rogers what exactly happened in your room earlier!” Although Reuben had never met Kevan, he could tell from his attire and demeanor that he was not an ordinary person. So, when Lana asked him to testify, he hesitated. He had not wanted to be involved in something so vulgar in the first place, and it disgusted him. Under Kevan’s stern gaze, he felt increasingly guilty. Thus, he chose to remain silent. When he was quiet for a long time, Lana stomped her foot in frustration and turned to Yvette for help. Yvette, of course, stood on Lana’s side. “Larissa did try to d “Larissa did try to seduce Reuben,” she said, sounding sad and ashamed.

Larissa had matured after the countless times Yvette had hurt her. Instead of feeling angry or sad, she admired her performance, thinking that Yvette’s past career as an actress truly paid off. She could effortlessly display any emotion, and it was impossible to tell if she was lying. However, while she admired her acting skills, she still needed to set the record straight. “I didn’t. It was Reuben who pushed himself on me. Besides, we didn’t do anything.” “Stop deceiving Mr. Rogers!” Lana cried. “Reuben himself said that you seduced him!” “Well I just said that I didn’t seduce him!” Larissa turned to Lana, disappointment turning into scorn. “As my sister, shouldn’t you believe me instead of a stranger?” Lana was rendered speechless by her question. “I’m not “She tried to form a retort but she failed. “How can you say that you didn’t seduce Reuben?” Yvette shielded Lana behind her like a protective mother hen, glaring at Larissa. “You took the opportunity in the study earlier to ask Mr. Cole for a dowry of five million dollars. Don’t think we’ve forgotten about that!” Larissa had requested five million dollars just to delay them. Never had she expected Yvette to use it

against her. “Do you only want five million dollars as dowry?” Kevan asked in surprise. “I prepared ten million dollars. What should I do?” He seemed a bit flustered. His statement caught everyone by surprise. Meanwhile, Yvette and Lana seethed with hatred. Larissa knew that Kevan was helping her, so she played along with him. “Ten million dollars is even better. I don’t mind having more money.” “Good.” Kevan appeared relieved. “I’ll have the money transferred to your account later. When will you go with me to register our marriage?” “Let’s go after the holidays,” Larissa answered without hesitation. Kevan’s face lit up with a smile. “It’s a deal.” The way they settled on the wedding date so quickly caused the people around them to seethe with anger. “Larissa is my wife! You can’t take her away!” Dorian glared at him. Despite his angry words, he was afraid to approach Kevan alter experiencing his strength. Frowning. Kevan asked in confusion, “So, who do you all want Larissa to marry?” Larissa had been wanting to ask that question. They had drugged her to create an opportunity for Dorlan. They also allowed Reuben to accuse her falsely, forcing her to accept the marriage. Could it be that it didn’t matter it was Dorian or Reuben?Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
