Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 198

Chapter 198
This was the first time Larissa had ever sat in the same car as Xavier.
When Larissa was a child, she remembered watching Xavier and Lana from the window.
Every morning. Xavier would send Lana to school.
For a long time, her biggest wish was to be able to ride in Xavier’s car too.
Unfortunately, the fulfillment of her wish came too late now that she had a complete change of heart since her childhood.
At this moment, she didn’t even feel the slightest bit of joy; instead, she felt like she was on pins and needles.
Xavier closed his eyes and took a nap, refusing to speak to her.
The two bodyguards in the front seats didn’t talk to her either.
Larissa stared out the window in a daze, hoping that this drive would end quickly.
Xavier had booked flight tickets in the first class and Larissa was given a seat as well.

She thought that this was probably the only nice thing she experienced throughout the journey.
As this was Larissa’s first time in first class, her cautious and restrained behavior drew multiple disapproving glances from Xavier.
Although they were sitting in different rows, she could hear him mutter to his bodyguard sitting beside him, “Indeed, she’s just a poor and low-class bas ta rd.”
The bodyguard agreed with him immediately, “She definitely can’t compare to Miss Lana.”
Xavier sneered, “Naturally. No one else can compare to my Nana!”
The short flight of two hours quickly came to an end.
After being away for so long, Bartham had changed completely from when she left, leaving Larissa amazed at the sights.
However, there were also some things that remained unchanged, like the Seymour Mansion and the attitude of their household staff toward her.
She followed behind Xavier and entered the mansion.
The household staff smiled and greeted Xavier politely, but when they saw Larissa, their faces turned blank.
Some of the nicer ones would greet her, while the majority pretended that she was invisible.
Larissa wasn’t concerned by the difference in treatment. Instead, if they were to act warmly towards her, she would feel that something fishy was going on with their odd behavior.
Xavier informed her that Yvette refused to undergo chemotherapy and insisted on being discharged from the hospital.
Regarding this statement, Larissa felt that it was believable.
Yvette was regarded as one of the top actresses when she was younger, even more famous than Laura was currently.
At that time, she was known as the country’s “Beauty Queen”.
If it weren’t for her title, she would have had no chance of marrying into the Seymour family with a child in tow.
The most important thing that Yvette cared about was her beautiful appearance.
Undergoing chemotherapy was an especially grueling experience.
