Chapter 220


    Chapter 220


    Out of the blue, Kevan, who was usually distant, struck up a casual conversation with Lucas. “Not


    heading back to Bartham for New Year’s?”


    Lucas seemed taken aback by Kevan’s sudden “enthusiasm, and his smile turned stiff as his voice


    trembled a little. “No, I’m busy with work here. I don’t have time to go back.”


    Kevan nodded in response and asked, “I heard you helped the two anchors from StreamWave Studios


    establish a connection and secure the endorsement deal with Yenti n?”


    Lucas‘ face slightly reddened upon hearing that. “Yeah, well, it just so happened that Yenti n was


    looking for spokespersons, and I knew those two anchors, so I made a rmendation. I didn’t expect


    it to work out.”


    There was a significant discrepancy between what Lucas said and what Kevan knew. In reality. Lucas


    had used several million dors from Torqua’s external device procurement funds and the future


    exclusive supply rights for external devices to secure the endorsement deal with Yenti


    n.


    Of course, Kevan wouldn’t expose Lucas‘ lie right then and there. After all, thepany would receive


    a 40%mission on the endorsement fees earned by the two anchors. In other words, Lucas was


    indirectly giving him money. So, naturally, he was pleased about that.


    “I’ll definitely give you a generous present as a thank you when you marry Lana,” Kevan said with


    a smile.


    Instantly, Lucas‘ mood dampened, but he forced a smile and replied, “Sure.”


    “On another note…” Kevan spoke in a caring, older–brotherly tone. “Despite being busy with work, you


    still need to make time to be there for your girlfriend. Lana’s mother is in thete stages of uterine


    cancer and may not have much time left. Lana needs you now.”


    Lucas was shocked to hear this. “When did Yvette get uterine cancer?” He had never heard Lana


    mention it.


    “Don’t you know?” Kevan looked surprised by Lucas‘ reaction. “Xavier came to Covenford. specifically


    for this matter the day before yesterday to bring Larissa back home.”


    Although Larissa didn’t know what Kevan was up to, she still nodded in agreement “Yeah, Mr. Rogers


    and I just returned from Bartham.”


    Lucas panicked. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll go to Bartham right away.”


    He reached into his pocket, found his car keys, and pressed a button–the Maserati parked not far away


    made a “beep” sound.


    “Is that Maserati yours?” Dn asked


    “Yes.” Although Lucas was in a hurry to leave, he patiently answered Dn’s question. “I bought it


    recently. Nana said she likes this car.”


    Larissa remembered something when Lucas said that. It was the image of Lana getting into a Maserati


    outside the Microworks Building. At the time, she thought it was Keyan picking Lana up from work and


    misunderstood their rtionship.


    It turned out it was actually Lucas. The thorn that had been lodged in her heart was finally


    removed, and Larissa’s mood seemed to improve slightly.


    After Lucas responded to Dn, he hurriedly left.


    Dn sighed, “I can’t bear to see Lucas being used like this.”


    “They both agreed to it. So, why do you care so much?” Kevan nced at him coldly. “Instead, you


    should think about how to deal with your parents when you go back for the big family reunion dinner!”


    Dn red at Kevan and gritted his teeth. “Shut up!” Only one month remained until then.


    Nevertheless, since Kevan brought up the topic, Dn continued the conversation. “Hey, Larissa, what


    are your ns for that period?”


    “Probably spending it just by myself!” She forced a smile with a tinge of bitterness.


    When she was still with the Seymour family, she would lock herself in her room every big family reunion


    dinner, feeling disconnected from the festive atmosphere outside. After she went to Covenford for


    university, everyone else in the dormitory would go home during the winter break.. leaving her all alone.


    She would either work or stay in the library during the family reunion dinner.


    However, Wendy would video chat with her every eve of the reunion dinner after graduating. They


    would talk until the early hours of the morning before going to sleep. After that, she was with Travis,


    and she never experienced the feeling of loneliness during big family reunion dinners. again. But now…


    she was back to square one. She was feeling sentimental when a hand reached.

    out from the side and held hers


    Kevan turned to look at her; his eyes devoid of emotion, and his tone as calm as water when he said,


    “Come spend the big family reunion dinner with me at my home.”
