Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 327

“Do not bring her before us ever again! And never bring her with you to attend family gatherings such as this!” Xander said.

Because she nearly dropped the baby, the looks from the crowd were filled with reproach and resentment. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Lana had never experienced such humiliation before, so she felt a little indignant while blaming Larissa for everything again.

“Larissa.” Her eyes were all teary and she was pouting, looking for all as it she was the most pitiful one in the world.

“I was startled. I didn’t mean to She seemed to be explaining hersell to Larissa, but she was actually trying to say it to Kevan instead.

Larissa’s reaction was very bland. “I know.”

There were no words of comfort.

Kevan’s reaction was even colder. He did not say anything, much less look at her.

Lana was gritting her teeth again, her fists were clenched so tightly that veins had popped out on the back of her hands.

“Larissa.” She sat next to Larissa once more, reaching out to take her hand. “When are you and Mr. Rogers going back to see Mom and Dad again?”

As she spoke, she kept sneaking looks at Kevan.

“We’re not going back.” Larissa removed her hand from hers, and her voice was frigid. “Lana, I remember quite clearly what you and your family have done to me.”

Rebecca had left with the baby, so most of the adults crowded around had dispersed. Molet was currently speaking to Mia at a different table, so she did not notice the things going on over there. That just meant that Larissa no longer had to pretend to have a good relationship with Lana.

“I will never go back to the Seymour family, so don’t think of including me in any of your schemes.”

Lana paled. Digging her nails into the soft parts of her palm, she forced a few tears out of herself.

“Larissa, the thing with Reuben from before really has nothing to do with

Seeing that she was still fubilely trying to distance herself from the incident, Larissa laughed coldly. “You know all too well whether or not that incident had anything to do with you. I know myself too, Lana. I have long known what kind of person you are. You don’t need to actin front of me. I’m not st upid, nor am I a saint. I will not cooperate with you all the time.”

Lana was still struggling to make things work. “Larissa, you’ve really misunderstood me I’m not that kind of person at all

“Enough.” Kevan, who had been watching coldly nearby, could not bear to hear more. “You’re noisy.”

The disdain in his eyes was quite obvious. “If you don’t want Cosmic Entertainment to end up like Summer Entertainment, you’d better not appear before Larissa with your family ever again.”

Lana froze, staring at him blankly as if she could not believe that he would say such a harsh thing. The wetness in her eyes increased further, but this time, she did not need to do anything to lonce such a reaction,

“Mr. Rogers – How could you treat me like this. Her tears began to fall. “How can you treat my family like this. We didn’t do anything

Larissa took a deep breath and said to Kevan, “Push me somewhere else. I don’t want to see her again.”

Kevan stood up. “Okay.” But Lana blocked the wheelchair, gripping the armrests firmly.

“Larissa.” Her body was trembling non-stop as if she had suffered a grievous wrong. “I really want to make things up with you. Mom and Dad wish for you to come home every day You did not come back for the New Year, and they kept asking about you. But you’ve blacklisted all of our contact methods, so we can’t find you Larissa, how could you be so heartless? Do you really not want your family anymore? Regardless of how bad my parents have been, they’ve raised you for twenty years – How could you just leave when you want to, and cut ties with us when you want to?”
