    Chapter 276


    The meetingsted the whole morning. After Kevan left the meeting room, his assistant handed him his


    phone. As Keren nced at the screen, he saw the chat history between his assistant and the Human


    Resource Department manager of Regal Dynasty Hotel


    He had requested the other party to transfer Larissa back to Covenford as per Kevan’s instruction, but


    the request was denied. The other party replied, “Old Mr. Rogers ordered the transfer. If Mr. Rogers


    has any objection to this, he should discuss it with Old Mc Roggen directly. We can’t do anything about


    it.”


    Kevan narrowed his eyes. He had thought this was Edmund’s arrangement and that Bernard and his


    family were involved. He hadn’t expected his grandfather’s involvement in this. If that was indeed the


    case, the situation had be even moreplicated.


    “Got it,” Kevan said. Then, he returned to his office and called his grandfather.


    Rnd answered the call and asked, “You’re calling me because of Lari?”


    His grandpa was obviously prepared, so Kevan didn’t beat around the bush. “Why?”


    “Your family is in Bartham, and so is your business. Since Lari is your wife, it’s only natural for her to be


    by your side in Barthem. I’m simply making arrangements ahead of time. Of course, I have my own


    reasons for doing so. You know that among your peers, I value you the most. Lari is different from your


    sister-inw and brother-inw. I like her very much. I’m too old to travel now. If you all stay in Barther,


    you can visit me often.”


    Rnd’s heartfelt words plunged Kevan into deep contemtion. He began to reflect on himself,


    realizing that he had been neglecting his family for the past few years in his pursuit of stabilizing the


    Rogers family business and his own ventures.


    “But Lari doesn’t like it here,” Kevan expressed, torn between honoring his grandfather’s wishes and


    acknowledging Larissa’s feelings.


    “She had some unpleasant experiences in Bartham when she was a child.”


    Rnd was silent for a long time before asking, “Why don’t you ask Lari if she could stay in Bartham


    for a few years for me? I won’t live long. When I’m gone, you guys can go whenever you want to. Is


    that okay?”


    Everyone was well aware of Rnd’s deteriorating health, and the entire family was bracing


    themselves for the inevitable. Only Kevan had been deceiving both his grandfather and himself,


    refusing to acknowledge the gravity of the situation. “You still have a long time to gor


    Rndughed. “Enough, don’t try to fool me. Go and discuss it with Lari. I can’t die without having


    some peace of mind. It depends on


    you now.”


    “Grandpa.” Kevan suddenly became serious as he continued, “You should know that if Lari stays in


    Bartham, Benard and his family will try


    to harm her.”


    “I know that.” Rnd might be old, but he wasn’t sen ile. He remained aware of everything happening


    in thepany. While it was Edmund’s idea to transfer Larissa from Covenford, he had different ns.


    Despite their divergent purposes, Rnd intended to use Edmund’s n to beat him, so he informed


    the Human Resource Department beforehand.


    “Don’t worry about Bernard and his family. I’ll send someone to protect Lari. Nothing will happen to


    her.” Since Rnd made his promise,


    Kevan knew he didn’t have to worry. Still, it was a challenge to persuade Larissa.


    At night, Kevan was home before Larissa. It was a rare sight, so Larissa was surprised to see the lights


    switched on.


    “You’re not busy today?” she asked Kevan.


    Kevan patted the seat beside him and said, “Come here.”


    Confused, Larissa walked over.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
