Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 125

‘Ms. Seymour!‘ Lucas exclaimed excitedly. “I know it! It was you who got Mr. Rogers here!”

With her back still facing them. Larissa politely replied has nothing to do with me, Mr. Hemmes, He came because of you.”

“Don’t be modest Mr. Rogers just said that he came because of you,” Lucas insisted, grinning from ear to ear.

“Oh, wait” Lucas suddenly exclaimed, smacking his forehead. “I almost forgot.”

Holding Lana’s hand, he led her over to Larissa and Kevan and made himself some space between them.

“Let me introduce you to them, Lana. This is Larissa Seymour, the manager of the housexeeping department at Regal Dynasty Hotel, and she’s also Mr. Rogers’s girlfriend I always thought you twn looked alike, and interestingly, you even share the same last name-*

He was interrupted by Lana before he could frish his sentence.

“Larissa? My sister? Her voice trembled, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Sister. Larissa hadn’t heard that word for many years and she didn’t miss it at all

Lana was the child of Larisa’s stepfather, Xavier Seymour. She received all the love from both Xavier and Yvette Xander, Larissa’s mother. Larissa, on the other hand, had a completely different experience, although Lana hadn’t done anything to harm her.

Due to their five–year age gap, they had never attended the same school. At home, they lived on different floors and had their meals separately. Like water and oil, they never mixed or mingled with each other, nor did they meddle in each other’s business, Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Yvette would always tell Larissa to “learn from your sister” when punishing her, which caused her to dislike Lana from a young age. During her teenage years, Larissa even harbored resentment towards Lana.

Larissa olten thought that her parents would love her if Lana had never existec. However, as she matured, she realized that Yvette and Xavier would never treat her as their own daughter, even il Lana had never existed. She was the living proof of Yvelle’s dark past–a bastard daughter.

Hence, her haired for Lana disappeared over Lime. Alas, despite being reunited with her, there was a thom in her heart that stopped her from summoning even the slightest sliver of joy.

Since her identity had been revealed. Larissa had no reason to hide anymore, Rising to her feet she shut a perfunctory, distant smile.” Long time no see.”

The sentence let her mouth when Lana rushed forward without warning, wrapping her in a big hug. The sudden movement almost caused Larissa to lose her balance.

“Larissa!” Lana buried her face in Larissa’s neck, hot tears streaming down her collarbone and soaking the edge of her dress.

Meanwhile, Larissa was bewildered by her behavior. After all their sisterly bond didn’t warrant such a reaction. Larissa always lell repulsed by the sight of Lana

However, Lana began to cry harder. “I finally found you! Where have you been all these years?”

As all eyes turned to them. Larissa felt like an animal in a zoo. They were basically free entertainment for the onlookers, and that caused her great discomfort.

Carefully pushing Lana away, Larissa comforted her, saying. “Today is your birthday. Cheer up!”

She exercised all of her sell–control to speak to Lana in a gentle lone.

Lana immediately smiled, but her tears continued to tricke down her face.

“I am happy! The wish I made just came true! She embraced Larissa lightly again, crying, “I missed you so much!”
