Chapter 8


    Larissa was confused by the usation. But as she was someone who had quite some experience


    working here, she had met more unreasonable guests.


    Therefore, she was able to react quickly and gave her an apologetic smile. “My apologies, Ms.


    Gagher. There must be a misunderstanding here. I just got back, and I am not quite sure what’s


    going on. Could you give me some time to look into the situation?”


    At the same time, her mind was racing. The Regal Dynasty was a proper hotel with an established


    background. It would not be possible for them to forcibly evict someone without cause. But seeing the


    guards and cleaning staff present, the eviction did not seem false either.


    Larissa could think of no one else who had the power to evict guests other than the general manager.


    She was just about to call him for rification about the situation when the door to the room at the end


    of the corridor opened.


    Dn emerged in his pajamas. His was stone-faced and exuded a cold aura simr to Kevan’s. His


    geniality in the morning was nowhere to be seen.


    Thinking that they had disturbed his rest, Larissa quickly apologized. “Forgive me, Mr. Shields. There is


    a situation that we need to take care of at the moment. If you find the noise bothersome, I can have


    someone put you up in a different room.”


    However, Dn waved her off and smiled. “Don’t worry about it.”


    Larissa was totally confused once again. If it was fine, then why was he upset earlier?


    Dn walked straight up to Karin, who clearly knew him.


    “M—Mr. Shields?” Her previous arrogance was gone and reced by anxiety.


    “Ms. Gagher.” Dn was not as nice to her as he was to Larissa. His tone was polite and indifferent.


    “Mr. Rogers was the one who requested your eviction. As for why…” His smile did not reach his eyes.


    “I’m sure you know.”


    Karsyn froze and steadily turned pale.


    Dn proceeded to add, “If you don’t want this to get any worse, I suggest you check out quietly now.”


    Karin bit her lip, clearly struggling with herself for a few seconds before she turned and went back into


    her room. Soon, she emerged with her two assistants.


    She wore a cap that was pulled down as much as possible. Arge pair of sunsses as well as a


    mask hid her face from view. She did not say a word to anyone else and hurriedly made her way


    forward. Her assistants each dragged arge suitcase behind them as they followed her.


    Having aplished their mission, the security guards left, and the cleaning staff began cleaning up


    Karin’s room.


    Only Larissa and Dn were left in the corridor.


    “Aren’t you on leave?” Dn asked her.


    Larissa had no energy left to wonder why he knew about her being on leave. She went straight into the


    topic. “Are you avable at the moment? I would like to have you as mywyer.”


    Dn froze for a moment before letting out a knowing smile.


    “Sure,” he said.


    …

    Larissa followed Dn into his room. He beckoned her to sit on the couch and asked, “Water?”


    Larissa shook her head and said, “No, thanks.”


    Dn then sat on the armchair on the side. “You’d like a divorce?” he asked.


    He had previously introduced himself as awyer who “specialized in handling divorce cases,” so being


    able to guess Larissa’s goal was not that hard.


    “Yes.” Larissa felt bashful. It was as if she was exposing her wounds to someone else. She


    straightened up discreetly and clenched her fists, which were ced on herp.


    Unlike what she expected, Dn did not ask for the reason why. However, he simply became more


    professional and asked, “Has the asset division been settled?”


    Larissa smiled bitterly. “I’m in need of your services precisely because it’s not.”


    Dn was not the least bit surprised. “How would your former husband like to divide it?”


    Larissa described the contents of the divorce agreement, and Dn raised an eyebrow.


    “Just that? What about the house? It won’t be divided?”


    “That’s where the problem is.” The moment Larissa thought about the house, her rage began to ramp


    up. She did her best to control it, and her nails dug unconsciously into her soft flesh.


    “Oh?” Dn looked interested in what she had to say.


    “This house that we’re living in was bought after we got married. I made the down payment, and I am


    also paying for the mortgage. But the deed had both our names on it. However, just a few hours ago,


    my former husband showed me the papers for a gifting of property agreement that I had apparently


    signed and said that I had gifted the house to him. Moreover, he even went through the procedure to


    get the name on the deed changed to just his own.”


    Dn’s eyes narrowed. “Did you sign the papers in person?” he asked.


    Larissa replied, “Based on the penmanship, it does seem to be by my hand. However, I don’t recall


    signing those papers.”


    Dn was silent for a moment. “We can do a penmanship verification first. If you really didn’t sign it,


    then it’s good. But on the off chance that it is… Unless you can prove that you were deceived by your


    former husband and were unaware of the contents of the papers, they will be legally valid.”


    Larissa’s hope plummeted into a dark abyss. She did not even know when she signed the damn


    papers. How was she supposed to prove that she was deceived?


    “However, you don’t have to feel so bad. We can still approach it from another angle.” Having sensed


    her sadness, Dn showed her aforting smile. “Regardless of whether or not the papers are


    genuine, the transfer process he went through is definitely illegal. We can hold onto this point and do


    some digging. For all we know, we could implicate a bunch of people. By that time, there will be many


    who will want to get back at your former husband, so we won’t even need to do anything.”


    This was a good idea, and the only feasible one at the moment.


    Larissa was worried, however. “By implicating a bunch of people, would we be in danger?”


    Although she did not want Travis to have it easy, she did not want to risk herself and Dn either.


    “You can rest easy on that.” Dn was confident and even lifted his head with some pride. “Those guys


    wouldn’t dare touch me.”


    Larissa’s good opinion of him rose a couple of notches.


    “Leave this to me. Just focus on your work,” Dn said.


    With such solid backing, Larissa was definitely calmer than before. Hence, she was in the mood to


    think of other things—such as some gossip.


    “Why did Mr. Rogers want to evict Karin Gagher from the hotel?”


    Karin was an A-lister with a huge following of die-hard fans. She just needed to publicly boycott the


    Regal Dynasty, and the hotel’s upancy rate would tank along with its reputation. There would likely


    even be people who would deliberatelye over to cause trouble.


    Offending her was as good as a death sentence.


    Dn chuckled derisively. “She had the audacity to drug Kevan’s wine with a roofie! She deluded


    herself into thinking that she could climb her way up by sleeping with him—I don’t even know if I’m


    supposed to praise her for her bravery or call her an idiot!”


    Karsyn was responsible for Kevan’s drugging?!


    This fact shocked Larissa greatly.


    “Does Karin…even need to bother with roofies?”


    Any man, who wanted to use unscrupulous means on Karin, would probably need to queue up for


    miles. Larissa found it hard to imagine that Karin would demean herself like that.


    The only logical exnation was—


    “Is there something wrong with Mr. Rogers?”
