Chapter 238 Shadows Closing In
As soon as they got into the car, Larissa could tell something was wrong. Carter’s face looked tense.
Carter, did something happen?” she asked.
Carter’s expression was serious. “Do you know who sent people to kill you this time?
Finished
I just had someone look into it,” Carter continued. “You somehow crossed the Bennetts. They even sent >eople all the way to Moblos to come after you. That shows how badly they want you dead.”
He paused, his voice low.
For your safety, you should go home right away. With Isaac and Dad there to protect you, I’d feel better.”
He didn’t dare imagine what would happen if Larissa got hurt while she was with him. He might never orgive himself.
Larissa was kind, innocent, sweet, and beautiful. Who would be so cruel as to harm her?
f Carter ever found out who was behind it, no matter where that person ran, he would hunt them down.
Larissa’s eyes turned cold. The Bennetts?
The only one she had offended was Wilmot, or maybe the real mastermind behind him was Floria.
t seemed the last lesson she gave them wasn’t enough.
I can’t go home yet,” she said calmly. “My scores aren’t out yet. I’ll decide after they’re released. And I have Something important tomorrow night.”
She couldn’t miss the Everreach auction.
Carter frowned. “Larissa, this isn’t a joke. The Bennetts are ruthless. It’s too dangerous for you to stay.”
Larissa patted his hand gently, “Carter, I know what I’m doing. And I’m not someone people can push
around.”
Just then, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Thea. The hotel had been successfully bought at a very low price. It was now officially under Everwell Pharma,
A smile appeared on Larissa’s lips.
That was good news.
From now on, if anyone from Smeana came to Moblos, they would not be treated like yesterday- humiliated and thrown out with nowhere to stay.
At that moment, Carter’s phone rang.
It was the club manager, asking him to return immediately.

The manager’s tone was urgent. It was nothing like the respectful way he had spoken yesterday.
Trouble again.
Finished
After hanging up, Carter looked apologetic at his sister. “Larissa, something goes wrong at the club. I have to go back. I was hoping we could have lunch together.”
“I’ll go with you,” Larissa said playfully. “But first, let’s eat. No matter how big the problem is, food comes first.”
Carter couldn’t argue with her. He nodded.
They found a nearby restaurant, ate quickly, and then headed to the club.
On the way, Carter looked worried. “They might be targeting me. I don’t want you coming with me. I’m afraid you could get hurt.”
From the club manager’s voice alone, Carter knew this wouldn’t be simple.
Larissa reached over and patted his shoulder.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be with you. They won’t dare mess with you. I’ll protect you.”
