Chapter 231

The moment it was noon, Larissa received Dylan’s call. He was already waiting for her in Regal Dynasty’s cafe with Mr. Sharpe, and with them was an important witness, Maria Durham. Because there was no challenge as to how this case would end, they were all pretty relaxed.

Mr. Sharpe only emphasized a couple of points that Larissa and Maria needed to be clear on during their testimony. When they expressed their understanding, he did not say more.

Maria, however, excitedly chatted with Larissa.

“Larissa, you and Kevan are such lucky stars! After my husband and I went to visit you in the hospital, my husband got a salary increment within two days! And it’s twice the original amount! The boss said it was a commendation for his many years of effort in the company and even said that his performance warranted a better post. But since he prefers his current post, he doesn’t have to move. But when he does? He can get promoted whenever he wants! Moreover, if his team designs better work in the future, his salary will increase even further!

Larissa was genumely happy for her, but she disagreed with Maria’s talk of being “lucky stars” Even if they were, it should only be Kevan who was one. She had nothing to do with it.

What Maria did not know-and could not know-was that all of this was arranged by Kevan.
