Chapter 342
Sweet Subterfuge
Violet panicked.
Larissa was the second woman Kevan had proactively wanted to marry. If she let her go, Violet had no idea how many years she would have to wailler her next daughter-in-law, Most importantly, Violet really liked Larissa after having spent time with her during this period. and she really treated her as if she was her own blogical daughter.
âMarriage is not a game.â Violetâs face darkened as well I can understand your anger, but this is ultimately Lari and Kevanâs life, and they should be the ones to discuss and solve this matter.â
âDiscuss?â Wertie aughed coldly, her gare at Lar ssa helding love that never existed before. âThere is such a huge gap between Lari and Kevan in terms of social status. To marry into your family, wonât she just be bullied and pushed around by your people? I donât believe that Kevan would really want to discuss and solve the matter with Lari!â
if this was under normal circumstances, Larissa would have lost her temper and thrown their words back in their faces. But she needed to use the Seymours right now to achieve her goal so she pretended to protest weakly, âItâs not like that. Aunt Yvelle Yvette shut her down unhappily. âShush!â She exhaled, probably realizing that her lone was too aggressive, and some kindness appeared on her lace. âDonât wemy Larl I will support you. Just speak of any grievances you have suffered at the hands of the Rogeâs family!â
Larissa replied. âAunt Yvette, I really havent suffered any grievances at all The way she looked right now, to Yvette and Lana, really seemed as if she had suffered with the Rogers family. On the other hand, to Violet she did not dare to speak with confidence due to Yvetteâs tyranny.
Violet lightened her grip on Larissaâs hand slightly belare saying seriously to Yvelle, âI can assure you upon my own dignity that none of us had ever looked down upon Larl and we would never bully her either. If you really want an explanation, I can call Kevan to come over and give his promise to Lari before you.â
âNo need.â Yvelle said. âAnyone can act. Even if he promises before us, it doesnât prove that he would not bully Lari behind our backs.â
âKevan isnât the kind of person you think he is Larissa Interrupted in a small voce.
Yvette glared at her, and she hunched over. looking down as if she knew she should obey her âauntâ.
âMrs. Seymour.â Violet could not bear it any longer and said. âLani has already forgiven Kevan. Why do you have to force them to divorce?
Yvette did not answer her question, but turned to Larissa and said earnestly, âLarl, you canât last look at a manâs money when marrying.â
The hidden meaning in her words was quite obvious-Larissa married Kevan for his money..
Violet frowned but said nothing.
Lanssa was likewise calm, She was even somewhat eager to hear what Yvette would say next âYou werenât like this before. You werenât the kind to accept less than ideal solutions when you have been mistreated.â Yvelle sighed. expressing her supposed pity for Larissaâs great âchangeâ. âAs Nana said, youâre acting completely different from when your former husband cheated on you, Lari you must know that even if you lie to yoursell this time and forgive Kevan this matter will always be a thom your heart. And no amount of money will make it disappear. From this day on, you wil not Ive happily ever aller.â
Larissa was well aware of Yvetleâs astounding skills in delaming someone indirecty. She did not know if Lana also inherited her motherâs genes, or if she picked it up later from her mother, for she utilized this skill perfectly too.
âYeah, Larissa.â Lana echoed Yvetteâs sentiments. A twenty-million-dollar dowry car buy many things, but it cannot buy true love.â
Violet was still unaware of the twenty-million-dollar dowry, Now that Lana had suddenly exposed this, Larissa was a litle nervous. She had not touched the money in order to return it to Kevan aller the divorce. She was only alraid of how Violet would see her now, that she would mally think of her as a shallow gold digger and look at her with disgust
