Chapter 642


    Chapter 642


    As the wedding was almost about to start, the quests began arriving one after another, Kevan and


    Dn got busy attending to them.


    Many guests recognized Kevan and wanted to establish rapport with him for future business


    opportunities. They offered him cigarettes and asked for photos together. Some even tried to set him


    up with someone.


    Initially, Kevan was willing to entertain them. He wanted to show courtesy for Cn and the Davis


    family’s sake. However, he was known for his patience. Every quest from ether side treated him like a


    sightseeing spot to lick all their list. He reached his limit. He excused himsell to get some fresh air.


    The ballroom was sp acious. He easily found an unupieder with an open window. The cold


    breeze that drilled in brought some rity to his thoughts.


    He nced at his phone. There were no messages. His grip on the phone lightened as his heart also


    seemed to lighten. It had been lour days since his return from Aldovia and Larissa had not reached out


    to him even once, Had she not seen the items he entrusted to Lewis?


    As much as he wanted to ask her, he hesitated. What it she had seen them and now held a grudge


    against him?


    With a sch sigh, he decided to wait until all the affairs here were settled before flying back to Aldonia to


    personally apologize to her.


    Engrossed in his inner struggle, he suddenly caught a subtle hint of smoke, prompting him in furrow his


    brows.


    A few years back, the city of Bartham implemented aprehensive ban on ior smoking. So, a


    venue like this one had even stricter regtions. He disliked people who didn’t follow rules, but he


    wasn’t sell-righteous enough to go out of his way to remind or correct them.


    He put his phone back in his pocket. He stood upright and smoothed out the wrinkles on his sull jacket


    hem, preparing to leave. Suddenly, he heard am liar voice-someone sounding nervous, with a mix of


    anger and unease.


    “Are you unable to get the money from your end?


    “Da mn it! I knew I couldn’t trust them. They’dpletely screwed me over! I lost milions! Now, those


    old f arts from the board are constantly giving me a hard time, itching to push me out!


    “Kevan might be a wealthy guy, but he won’t lift a finger to help me! We’ve always had a sour


    rtionship, he did otter assistance, I’d even suspect it was all a tran!


    “Alright, alright. Spare me your useless advice! There’s no one reliable to tum to! I need to figure out a


    way to get the money. Otherwise, those oldrts wil have me thrown into jail I don’t want to end up like


    my father, wasting the rest of my life there!”


    Kevan leaned back against the wall once more. He fell an odd sense of satisfaction as he istened to


    Cody’s frustrated and desperate voice. Blue Star Shipping’s vessel had arrived in Dartham before he


    did. Although he didn’t witness it firsthand, he could imagine the depths of Cody’s despair upon


    discovering his cargo had beenpletely switched.


    Cody had put all his hopes on that shipment. With it gone, he lost hisst chance at aeback, and


    his future looked bleak.


    Kevan had heard that Cody had been desperatey trying to borrow money from banks, credit


    companies, friends, and business partners. However, the funds he managed to secure were just a drop


    in the bucketpared to what he had embezzled.


    “Damn it!’ Cody hung up the phone and cursed again. “Kevan!” He grilled his teeth and spat out


    Kevan’s name in hatred.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
