Sweet Subterfuge
Chapter 13
Dylan was quite famous in his industry and had been specifically handling divorce cases for wealthy clients in recent years. The remuneration for each case was over a million dollars. In addition to his position as the co-founder of Microworks Corporation, buying a house in Covenford was as easy as pie.
“I happen to have an empty apartment. It’s just nearby in Foxtail Garden.”
Foxtail Garden was one of the elite, high-end neighborhoods in Covenford. Those who could afford properties there were either rich or had high social status. Moreover, Foxtail Garden was the closest neighborhood to the Regal Dynasty Hotel, and the surrounding facilities were readily available.
“Really? You’ll rent it out to me?” Larissa could not believe her luck.
“Of course.” Dylan nodded, his face showing nothing but seriousness. “If you want to rent it, you can follow us to have a look right now.”
“Great!” Larissa agreed at once.
There was a car waiting at the main entrance of the hotel. The moment Kevan and Dylan emerged, the driver got out and helped them put their suitcases into the trunk of the car.
Dylan quickly claimed the passenger’s seat before Larissa could, and said cheerily, “I like sitting here.”
Larissa immediately let him have it. “Of course.”
While they were talking, Kevan had already gotten into the car. He had not closed the door, so his cool voice was able to reach Larissa’s ears. “Hurry up.”
Larissa quickly sat in the back seat. Kevan was sitting close to the middle, as he had nearly occupied two seats at once. To ensure that she would not touch him, Larissa sat as close to the door as she could. But even then, his face was so stony and neutral that it was frightening.
Larissa’s back was ramrod straight, and she barely dared breathe for fear of angering him. Thankfully, the drive from the hotel to Foxtail Garden was less than five minutes long, so it was not too hard to bear.
The car stopped before a building.
