Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo
Chapter 490

Violet saw a group of people clearly waiting for Larissa and obliged reluctantly, swallowing back any words to make her stay. Larissa bid farewell and left with her colleagues in the direction of the exit.

Just as she stepped over the threshold, she saw three intimidating figures approaching Pine Mansion.

They were Xavier, Yvette, and Lana.

Rumors said that Cody and Lana had gotten a divorce after she caught him cheating on her.

Larissa wasn't interested in either of them, so she hadn't paid much attention to this issue.

She didn't see Lana by Cody's side earlier, that was why she assumed that the rumors were true.

At this moment, she wasn't so sure.

Regardless, it would be best for her to leave.

Hanging her head, Larissa stepped aside deliberately to avoid them.

Even so, Yvette recognized her immediately.

"Larissa? You're back!" Yvette grabbed Larissa's hand, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Larissa couldn't hide any longer.

She looked up with an expressionless face and shook off Yvette's hand, walking away without sparing her another glance.

"You!" Larissa's defiant attitude infuriated Yvette.

She turned around to chase after Larissa, but Xavier pulled her back.

"We should handle the important things first!" Xavier reprimanded her in a cold voice.

Yvette glared fiercely at Larissa before entering the main hall with him.

As soon as the three of them made their appearances, the Rogers family was on high alert, especially Bernard and his family.

Cody stepped up to face them. He demanded impatiently, "What are you doing here? This is my grandfather's funeral service. Don't you dare cause any trouble!"

"Trouble? Why would we cause any trouble?" As head of the Seymour family, Xavier confronted Cody with a sneer, "Lana is still a daughter-in-law of the Rogers family. Now that Old Mr. Rogers has passed away, isn't it normal for us to come and pay our respects?"

"She is no daughter-in-law of the Rogers family!" Cody stared at Lana in disgust, who was hiding behind Xavier. "Sign the divorce agreement immediately and get lost! There's no use dragging this out any longer. No matter how persistent you are, I won't change my mind! Disgusting bitch! I've never seen such a malicious woman like you in my life!"

Lana did not hold back as the Seymour and Rogers families were already at each other's throats.

Pointing her finger at Cody, she had a twisted expression on her face.

"Me, malicious? Cross your heart and tell me honestly, who the one being malicious here is? Did you forget how much information I had fed you about Larissa back then? Because of that, I even sacrificed my unborn child and womb, the most precious things to a woman! After Larissa left and Kevan fell into a coma, you started neglecting me after you have achieved your goal! You stayed out every night and refused to return home. I thought that you were busy handling the affairs of Soaring Corporation, that's why I endured the pain and neglect. But what happened? Your WhatsApp was full of provocative messages from female influencers and models! I'm even too embarrassed to expose the content of your conversations in front of so many people! You claimed that they were to serve clients as bribes and you did not cheat on me. I was foolish enough to believe you, but you did not appreciate my trust. On the other hand, you repaid my trust with betrayal instead! I had grown sick and tired of your schemes, but you had no qualms in testing my limits repeatedly! Last time, you even got involved with my best friend! You know damn well what my relationship with Yvonne is, and yet you secretly flirted with her behind my back. Who's the disgusting person now? What's more, you're a twisted bastard who engages in domestic violence! From the time we got married until now, you have hit me numerous times! Have you even kept count? If I wanted to sue you, you would have been thrown into jail long ago. Do you think you could still be here, bossing us around?" Lana said all of this in one breath.

Cody and the other members of the Rogers family tried to interrupt her, but Xavier and Yvette stopped them several times.

"Cody Rogers, you're nothing but a scumbag! I was so blind to have fallen for you back then!"

As Lana cursed and ranted, tears streamed down her cheeks.

Likewise, Cody wasn't the type of man who would meekly accept her verbal abuse.
