Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 217

Chapter 217
In the end, Jay didn’t offer a higher bid. Ignoring Xavier and Yvette’s attempts to get him to stay, he angrily led his whole family out of their house. Before going downstairs, Dorian couldn’t help but look back at Larissa, reluctant to part with her.
Once outside the Seymours’ place, he started to complain. “It’s just twenty million dollars! Last month, you paid Laura Newman thirty million dollars for that movie!”
“I gave Laura thirty million dollars because she can earn me several billion dollars in return. Can Larissa do that?” Jay retorted with a snort. “Anyway, forget about this marriage! Tomorrow, I’ll find you a better match.”
“But I’ve set my sights on Larissal” Dorian persisted. “I won’t marry anyone else but her!”
“Then fork out twenty million dollars yourself for her I won’t waste a penny on her,” Jay said resolutely. “Either marry someone else or never marry in your lifetime. You choose.”
“Dad!” Dorian took a few steps forward and grabbed his hand, but he shook it off.
“Don’t call me Dad! No son of mine is as useless as you are!”

With Annabell’s help, Jay got into the car and slammed the door shut, barely missing Dorian, who wanted to follow him into the car.
Scratching his nose, Dorian reluctantly got into the shotgun seat.
“Dorian,” Jay called.
Reuben, who was focused on driving, tilted his head in response. “Yes?”
“Find out who Mr. Rogers really is,” he instructed, his eyes flashing fiercely. “Ill make him pay for opposing me.”
Meanwhile, back at the Seymours, Kevan took Larissa’s hand.
“We should leave too,” he said.
However, Yvette stopped them.
“I don’t agree with your marriage.” Yvette looked right into his eyes, her tone firm and resolute.
However, her opinion didn’t matter to Kevan
“This is a matter between Larissa and me. We don’t need anyone’s approval.”
He shouldered past her, but Yvette grabbed Larissa’s wrist from behind. She didn’t dare do anything to Kevan, so she unleashed her anger on Larissa instead.
“Do you want me to die of anger?”
With a smile, Larissa replied, “Even in the late stages of cancer, you’re still full of energy. If I anger you a little, I’m sure it wouldn’t kill you, right?”
