Chapter 541
“Do you want to have someone prepare the money? Oylan asked.
“Of course.” Kevan did not hesitate on this issue.
Dylan immediately got up to make a call on the balcony.
“Are you feeling better now? Kevan asked Larissa.
He just asked this without any preamble, and Larissa took some time to gather herself belare retorting,
“Feeling better about what?”
“I will not ignore Bethany.” Kevan had a faint smile on his lips. When he spoke, he kept his lathomless
gaze on Larissa the whole time, the warmth and scorch from it causing her to be ill at ease once more.
Pressing a hanc against her pounding heart, Larissa locked down slowly. “I’ve always been okay.” Her
voice was lighter than the night’s breeze.

Larissa was stunned. He seemed to have some sort of obsession-or was it some sort of compulsive
disorder? Regardless, if he did not force her to finish her food, he would not be happy. At this point, she
did not want to create more trouble for him, and could only force herself to take in a few more spoonfuls
el food.
The furrow in Keven’s brow finally began to loosen up slowly.
Larissa still had work to do, so she did not stay in Dylan’s room for long. After she left, Kevan’s face
visibly darkened.
He called Jack in person and said, “No need to track that number. The person who kidnapped Bethany
is Ron Jules.
He had long looked into everything related to Ron and lan, and he had listened to the recorded audio of
their meeting several times too. The moment the kidnapper spoke, he could immediately tell that it was
Ron’s voice.
But he could not let Larissa know that. Decause Xavier was the person behind Ron, he was worried
that she would feel guilty.
Dylan’s eyes namowed. “The guy who pretended to be Larissa’s friend to pick Aster up? That Ron
Jules?”
Kevan nodded Ightly.
*So Xaver sent someone to kidnap Aster to extort money from you, and not Larissa?” Dylan came to
this conclusion prelly last once he had inked both incidents together-which could explain all of the
unjustified things from before.
Kevan had figured that one out too, but what he could not understand was. “How did he know that he
could extort me by kidnapping Aster?
The only cres who knew that Aster was his son were himsell, Dylan, and his researcher Iriend who

them would have leaked this information to anyone else.
Dylan rolled his eyes at him. “Well, it’s your fault that you were too high profile previously. Sending
Aster to school, and even attending some Fun Family Sports Day. So many people saw you with him,
did you think this wouldn’t get out?”
Before today. Kevan had not been worried at al
Even though many people had heard Aster calling him daddy, anyone who cared enough to check
would not think that Aster was related to him at all. For no other reason than the fact that Asler’s name
was Alastair Simmons, and Wendy’s name was written in all certifying materials as his biological
mother.
And this was something that had led him astray once.
However, it was clear that Xaver did not look as deeply into things as he did. He probably only heard
from someone that he and Larissa had a son, and did not bother to verify it this was the truth, frantically
trying to threaten him with this-coincidentally hitting the jackpot while doing so.
Now that Kevan actually thought about it, he was actually a little scared. If the one who got kidnapped
was Aster, he would never be as calm as he was now. In fact someone may have died.
