Chapter 35 Larissa opened the curtains , leaned against the windowsill , and looked down . Even though the building was pretty high up from the ground , she could clearly make out a police car parked downstairs . Two of them passed by their block and rounded over to the back . Seeing as their block wasn't involved in this , Larissa didn't pay much attention to it . The next day , when she checked the group chat Dylan had added her into along with everyone else who owned properties in Foxtail Garden , she realized that the racket last night had been caused by a woman howling and disrupting the peace under Block 12 in the middle of the night . Her screams had been so loud that the residents of that block were unable to sleep . As such , a few of them had been forced to call the police . A woman under Block 12- Amber's face flashed across Larissa's mind , The members of the group chat continued discussing the incident . " I think she was looking for Mr. Fox on the 25th floor . " " The 25th floor ? Mr. Fox of Soaring Corporation ? " " That's him . " " Didn't he sell his house here and move away a while ago ? Why would someone still come looking for him ? " " Oh , I heard about that too . They say he'd been siphoning money from Soaring Corporation for a few years now ever since he started working there . Just from accepting bribes and embezzling company funds , I reckon he took almost a billion dollars . Soaring Corporation had only found out about this recently ; not only does he have to pay a significant amount as compensation , but he even has to go to jail for a long time too . " " That's a serious offense . He'll have to spend at least ten years in prison for that , right ? " " That's for sure . The new president of Soaring Corporation has some tough cards up his sleeves . This time , about seven or eight other high - ranking executives , including Skylar Fox , were brought down by him . Looks like the internal structure of the company is about to undergo a major reshuffle . " Chapter 35 Larissa stopped reading after that . Later , they'd discussed the implications of the incident in regard to the stock market and the business ecosystem , but she hardly understood any of it and was not remotely interested . So , she simply exited the app . The news of Mr. Fox's fate left a significant impact on her . Someone more powerful than her general manager had fallen , just like that . And yet , thinking about what he once did to her , she supposed she wasn't at all surprised about where he eventually ended up . If she was being entirely honest , she was even somewhat triumphant about his downfall . Her satisfaction did not last long , however . Her ex - mother - in - law came to the hotel to find her again . Having learned her lesson from the last time , Mrs. Hardy did not barge in forcefully . Instead , she squatted in a corner at the hotel's entrance and waited . As soon as she spotted Larissa walking out of the hotel , she pounced immediately . ' Larissa was defenseless and she staggered backward on instinct , almost knocking over the decorative plant by the entrance . Mrs. Hardy was afraid that Larissa would try to escape , so she grabbed Larissa's arm roughly . Her weathered face was full of tears as she spoke . " Lari ! Oh , Lari , I beg of you ! Please save my Travis ! " Her voice was loud and hoarse . Larissa winced in pain . " Let me go first ! " She struggled with all her might . Mrs. Hardy had grown up working on a farm and her strength was not something Larissa could rival . She dragged Larissa toward the street . " Just come with me to save my Travis ! You're the only one who can save him now ! " At that moment , Larissa's mind was a mess . Fear , disgust , and resistance , as well as a series of other emotions , tumbled through her mind , making her lose her senses . She could only shout instinctively , " Help ! I'm being kidnapped ! " The security guards from the hotel heard her screams and ran out of the foyer . They recognized Larissa immediately and approached Mrs. Hardy while waving their batons threateningly . " Let her go now ! " Realizing that the situation was not working in her favor , Mrs. Hardy released her grip on Larissa and knelt down in front of her with a heavy thud .
