Chapter 209
The atmosphere in the living room became even more awkward upon Larissa’s arrival. Nevertheless, it
was slightly better as they had a conversation topic now instead of staring silently at each other like
before.
Larissa looked around and noticed that everyone was present, except for Reuben, but she didn’t ask
about him.
When it was finally time for lunch, Yvette instructed Larissa, “Larissa, Reuben isn’t feeling well so he’s
resting in his room. Please call him down for lunch.”
“Alright” she said. She went straight upstairs without questioning anything.
Reuben’s door was shut tightly. After she knocked twice, a muffled voice came from inside. “Come in.”

Before her eyes could adjust to the darkness, she was yanked onto the bed. She screamed in fear as
someone pressed themsell upon her and ripped her clothes apart.
“What are you doing, Reuben?!” Larissa pushed away and slapped him on reflex. She shouted so
loudly in panic that her voice broke.
Reuben didn’t stop, but whispered in her ear instead, saying, “I’m sorry.”
Before Larissa could understand what he meant the door opened and the lights were turned on.
“Reuben, Larissa=”
At the door, Lana let out a high–pitched scream, her eyes wide with shock.
Her screams attracted the attention of everyone else. The sound of footsteps could be heard, and
everyone was gathered outside Reuben’s room.
By the time Lana arrived, Reuben had already gotten off Larissa, and she quickly pulled the blanket
over herself, curling up into a small ball at the head of the bed.
“What happened, Lana?” Yvette asked nervously. “What’s going on?”
When she took a look, she was speechless. All she could do was point at the two people on the bed.
Jay squeezed his way through the throng, his expression dark and slem as he asked Reuben,
“Reuben, tell me honestly, what exactly happened here?”
Lowering his head without looking at Larissa, Reuben replied softly. “I was sleeping when I heard Ms.
Seymour calling me. When I opened my eyes, I saw her lying on my bed with her clothes barely on,
and she even kissed me on the lips,”
Her eyes wide with shock, Larissa could hardly believe that these words were coming out of Reuben’s
mouth.

Alas, before she could refute his statement, a strong force struck her face..
“How can you be so shameless!” Yvette yelled, her eyes red with anger. “Did you learn these crude
seduction methods after living alone in the city for so many years?”
The Impact of the slap had Larissa’s face feeling numb, and it was difficult for her lo speak.
At this moment, all eyes were on her with varying forms of expressions–disappointment, scorn,
Judgment, and lust.
Larissa knew very well that this was a plot against her. She just didn’t know who was behind it.
“Enough, everyone. Leave,” Xavier announced, asserting his authority as the head of the family, and
pulled Yvette out of the room. Turning back to Larissa, he ordered, “Put on your clothes and come to
the study.”
