Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 982

Larissa thought that Kevan wanted to take her lo some banquet, which was why he specialy prepared a gown for her. But when she opened the paor bag, she found that it was a long, black velvet dress.

The dress was so plain that it did not appear suitable for something like a banquet.

It looked more like-

Shocked, Larissa threw down the things in her hand and ran to ask Flint, “Did someone in the Rogers family–pass away?”

Flint let out a soft noise of acknowledgment. His face showed the right amount of sadness. “It’s the little miss.”

The Rogers lamily’s little miss…

Larissa thought about it for a very long time before she finally figured it out. “Bethany Rogers?”

Flint let out another soft noise of acknowledgment.

Larissa was so shocked. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. “S–Shr

The last time Larssa had heard of Bethany, it was when the child had been kidnapped with the kidnapper demanding a huge ransom.

The news never said what happened after that, and Larissa never asked Kevan either. But from the way Kevan acted, he should have saved the child. But why

Although Larissa did not like Bethany–she quite hated her in fact, Bethany was still a child that was about Asler’s age. Moreover, the early passing of a child was always an unfortunate thing.

Flint seemed to know what Larissa wanted to ask, but he did not respond directly. He said. “Mr. Rogers will tell you the details in person.” “Alright.” Larissa forced down all the questions she had. She went back to her room and changed into that black dress.

Larissa easily saw the large portrait of Bethany hanging right in the middle of the wall opposite her. A lively child had been changed into a black–and–while portrait, and there was still a bright smile on her face. Seeing this, Larissa surprisingly felt like crying.

Beneath the portrait was Bethany’s coffin. It was surrounded by bunches of little llowers.

Kevan and Anthony were standing together on one side of the collin to receive the guests coming over to pay their respects.

Sadness could be seen on Anthony’s lace, but Kevan was expressionless.

Larissa did not know if he was just naturally like that, or if Kevan really felt nothing for Bethany’s passing.
