Chapter 604


    Kevan ignored her words, feeling for his phone to text Dn via WhatsApp. “Give me a call in ten


    minutes.”


    He only came for his parents sake. Now that a.. social lormalities had been taken care of, it was time to


    “retreat.” He did think of apanying his parents until the end of the event, but it was annoying to be


    in thepany of Uncle Bernard’s family, and he could not stand their drivel


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Seeing that Kevan disregarded herpletely, Maria had trouble keeping the smile on her face.


    “Kevan, boy, it’s not that I’m criticizing you or whatever.” The reproach in her voice grew stronger.


    “Earning money may be important, but you should be supporting your parents well too! When your


    parents are gone a few yearster, who are you going to spend all that money on?”


    *Don’t worry, Aunt Maria. Kevan put his phone down and smiled faintly. “The money I give my parents


    every year is more than what your sons are able to eambined. Besides, I have a daughter to raise


    too, so I must work hard to earn more.”


    Maria’s face had originally darkened when she heard the first half of his words. After hearing the rest,


    she could not stop herself from smiling even as her gaze was filled with smugness as well as .


    “Well, that’s true too.” She went along with his train of thought. “Girls must be nurtured well. You only


    have one daughter, Bethany, so you must prepare and educate her so that she can seed you.”


    Kevan just grunted in response.


    “However-“Maria suddenly frowned and changed the subject. “Why didn’t you bring Beth along today? I


    haven’t seen her in a while, and I miss her.”


    Kevan let out a hirt of panic at the appropriate time, while poorly attempting to maintain hisposure


    as he said. “She went to ssmate’s home to y.” His expression and tone of voice were very much


    unnatural.


    Cody knew about Bethany’s kidnapping, and he was constantly paying attention to the progression of


    the kidnapping case. But because all his information came from Ruby, he did not know who the culprit


    behind Bethany’s kidnapping was. He could only send people to keep an eye on Anthony and Violet to


    see if Bethany had been salely rescued. But Bethany did not appear up till now, so he could not help


    but be agitated.


    Cody had known from the start that Bethany was his daughter. Ruby’s pregnancy was something he


    nned too. His original scheme had been this: Kevan would get murdered on his and Lana’s wedding,


    and Ruby’s child would be the only kid from his line, who would naturally inherit Microworks. By


    then, she could give Microworks to him.


    However, man proposed, and Go d disposed. Alter being in aa for six years, Kevan woke up


    miraculously. Thank goodness he had lost his memories, so he did not remember his past with Ruby.


    As a result, he did not know that Bethany was not really his daughter.


    Cody’s n was able to continue, but his acquisition of Microworks would have to be dyed by a few


    more years. He could wait though.


    Since he was able to plot against Kevan once, he could do it again. And for the second time, he would


    not allow any idents to happen.


    However, Bethany was crucial to this whole n. There would be no Microworks without her.


    “Really?” Cody asked. “Kevan, I did hear some things.” He paused before adding, “About Beth,”


    Kevan’s panic was more obvious. “What is it?” He asked “quilly,” refusing to meet Cody’s gaze.


    Anthony and Violet were well aware of the situation as their faces had be a little solemn. The


    other Rogers also leaned in curiously. afraid that they might miss a word.


    “Beth has been kidnapped, hasn’t she?” Cody’s gaze was sharp, looking as if he could see through


    Kevan.


    When the others heard that, they gasped in shock


    “Beth has been kidnapped? When did this happen?” “Goodness gracious! How could this happen to


    us?”
