Chapter 335
Sweet Subterfuge
Everyone knew what a man and a woman would do together when they were alone in a house.
Very few people knew about Kewanâs marriage, but Ruby and Codyâs divorce was the biggest topic of gossip in Bartham recently.
Regular people may not know about the relationship between Kevan and Cody, but as long as Ruby was not yet divorced, she would be considered a married woman.
Kevan spending the night with a married woman was more than enough for him to be a target of condemnation. There were even people who speculated that the reason Ruby wanted to divorce Cody was because she had set her sights on Kevan, who was wealthier and more influential Beneath the news, most of the comments were tearing into the âadulterous couple, and many people felt sorry for the âc uckoldedâ Cody 100.
Kevan scanned the news before making a call with a frown. âTake down all of todayâs news.â
âDo you think taking them down now wil help? Violet was still shouting âEveryone has already seen it!
Itâs fortunate that I came here early today and disconnected your internet cable, so Lari is still kept in the dark about it! You tell me right now-what exactly is your relationship with Ruby?â
She was determined to get an explanation from Kevan Kevan knew that it was not so easy to beat around the bush with his mother, so he mixed in some truth with the lie. âRuby wants to divorce Cody, but he doesnât want to. Theyâre in the middle of a lawsuit right now.â
âI know that? Violet interrupted him imitably. âGet to the pointâ
Kevan bit his lip. âCody has violent tendencies. Ruby is afraid that heâll take revenge on her, so she called me for help. Hence, I bomowed one of my empty properties for her to live in.â
âWhy didnât Ruby find someone else but you?â Violet was extremely dissatisfied with his reasoning.
âAlso, you let her stay in your house. but why did you spend the night there? Did you do that thing or not?â
âShe sought my help because I am the only one who isnât afraid of offending Cody. He went there last night and nearly broke down the door. I just went over to check on her. She was afraid of staying there alone, so I stayed behind to accompany her. Nothing happened between us, and we slept separately last night, Larissa knows all of this. If you donât believe me, you can ask her.â Kevan sald.
âWhat?â Violetâs face was very red, and she was so angry that a little incoherent. âLari knows?! How could you let her know?! knows that you went to And Ruby and did not come home for the whole night and she did not say anything?â
âNo.â When Kevan uttered this word, his expression was a little melancholy.
Violet stepped forward and whacked Kevan on the forehead. âDo you have any sense at all? Lari didnât say anything because she is sensible and gracious! But this isnât an excuse for you to be at ease with yourself! Do you even know what she truly thinks about this? Did you even bother to ask?â
Of course, Kevan did. But he realized that her heart was just the same as the way she acted-no matter whether or not he had a woman out there, or if he had any women, she did not care, Ultimately, it was all just because she did not like him at all. That was why she would Just let him be as he was.
To Molet, Kevinâs silence represented his guilt. So, she threw out another slap, causing Kevan to hiss in pain.
âGo out and apologise to Lari right now!â Violet ordered him.
Kevan wanted to refuse, but when he saw her raised hand, he chose to appease her.
âOkay.â
He rose up from the sola and followed Violet out of the study.
Larissa had been doing her best to eavesdrop, so she had not been expecting them to come out so quickly. Unable to hide herself in time.
she was caught in the act. Smiling awkwardly at them, she asked, âAre you finished talking?â
Violet dragged Kevan by his arm and pulled him before her. She said to Larissa, tan, Kevan has something to say to you.â
