    Chapter 919


    Kevan stood beside Larissa with a hand in his pocket. He lowered his head to look at her and ordered,


    “It’s gettingte, time to sleep now.”


    “I ate too much, I need to exercise and burn off some calories,” Larissa said as she got up from the


    sofa.


    There was a dedicated gym in the house. Although there wasn’t much equipment, it was sufficient for


    her needs.


    As soon as she took a step forward. Kevan stopped her. There was a meaningful smile on his face.


    “Exercise? I know of a particrly effective form of exercise to burn calories instead.”


    It was the weekend, so all four of them were at home.


    After the intense “workout”st night, Larissa felt a little groggy in the morning.


    Yawning, shey on the sofa in their home theater and watched a cheesy teen drama with Wendy.


    “Hey, do you know if Microworks Corporation is making a fortune from this recent epidemic happening


    back in Caldor?” Wendy blurted cut suddenly.


    “What? Why?” Larissa’s mind was still foggy and she did not reply immediately.


    Wendy exined, “With the lockdown in ce, people can’t go out to have fun. They can only stay


    home and watch dramas or y games! The biggest and mostprehensive streaming site online is


    VisualBox. It’s owned by Microworks Corporations. Exclusive content can only be unlocked by paying


    for a membership. As for games, the top three most downloaded games on the leaderboards were


    developed by Microworks Corporation as well. I heard that the gaming department of M croworks


    Corporations made billions in revenue in just the first week of the lockdown!”


    “What’s your point? Larissa asked nkly.


    Wendy stared at her in frustration. “So, Mr. Rogers is very, really, and extremely rich! Ms. Larissa,


    haven’t you realized that you are on your


    way to bing a super–duper rich woman?”


    However. Larissa was unperturbed. That money isn’t mine. What’s more, Kevan and I are not married


    yet. Even if we do get married, that would be his pre–marital assets which have nothing to do with me.


    So, I’m not going to be a super–duper–rich woman. Don’t call me that!”


    “What’s the matter with you?” Wendy red at her. After a minute, she sighed and slumped down on


    the s. “Never mind, you have a dad who’s the president of Blue Star Shipping. You’re a princess


    born with a silver spoon in your mouth. That’s why you have no concept of


    money.


    If it weren’t for Wendy’s health, Larissa would have kicked her right then and there.


    She was no princess, and she wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth. What a ridiculous image


    that Wendy was trying to pin on her!


    “Blue Star Shipping is seriously affected by this epidemic. I don’t know if thepany can make it


    through the second hall of the year.” Larissa’s mood Lumed somber when the topic came up,


    “Huh? Blue Star Shipping is such a bigpany, how could “Wendy was taken aback.


    Judging by Larissa’s appearance, it didn’t seem like she was lying.


    Wendy continued, “However, I heard that several bigpanies in Caldor had gone bankrupt during


    this period as well. It seems like even


    Soaring Corporation is struggling.”


    “Wasn’t Soaring Corporation already in trouble before this? Larissa was surprised that they managed to


    hold on for this long.


    “Soaring Corporation managed to generate some cashflow by sellingnd at a discounted price, but I


    doubt they can sustain themselves for much longer. Their main business is still real estate, However,


    no one can go to work in Caldor right now and people are struggling to


    afford basic necessities.

    “Who has the extra cash to buy properties? Besides, the construction quality of Soaring Corporallon


    has gone downhill recently. They have not upheld their end of customer service, so there are tons of


    comints online.


    “Now that they have ruined their own reputation, their properties can’t be sold. Most of the newly built


    ones are left vacant. Even with huge discounts, nobody’s interested. Anyway, il Caldor continues to


    y locked down, Soaring Corporation is definitely going to go bankrupt.”

    Wendy continued as her smile grew wider. “Did you know that the Calder government had appealed to


    hotels to be used as quarantine


    centers for suspected cases? They initially approached the Regal Dynasty Hotel, but some idiot turned


    them down!


    “Now that the Regal Dynasty Hotel has offended the govemment, no one knows whether they will be


    allowed to continue operations after the epidemic is over! With the health and fire safety department


    conducting raids three times a week, it would be easy for the authorities


    to give them a hard time!


    “What a joke! It’s just too funny! When did the Rogers brothers be such failures? Every choice


    they made only led theirpanies to ruin! I truly admire Mr. Rogers. Although he was bom to the


    same family as Cody and Edmund, he is not at all influenced by their stupidity!


    What a rare gem!”


    Wendy ended her speech with wholehearted admiration for Kevan.
