Ruby dragged Bethany along and left. The moment the door closed, Dylan came out of the bedroom. He tutted softly and teased, "You guys are such talented actors!"
Kevan bent down and picked up the broken credit card, tossing it into the trash. "I'll sleep at your place tonight," he said.
"Why?" No one knew Kevan's antics better than Dylan. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, he would never let Kevan stay at his house.
"I need to disinfect this place," Kevan said and called a cleaning company to book a slot.
"Won't Cody suspect something if you're being so heartless to Ruby?" asked Dylan worriedly.
"Isn't that just perfect to prove that I really lost my memory?" Kevan said. He pocketed his phone with a cold smile.
"I need to go out for a little while. What are you going to do?" Kevan stood up and asked Dylan.
"Hmm? Where are you going?" Dylan asked in confusion. "Aren't you going to wait for the cleaners?"
"It's still early." Kevan had booked an afternoon slot. "I'm going downstairs to check if Larissa and Aster are still there." He had seen with his own eyes that Bethany's dress was dirty. Even though he didn't believe that Aster had pushed her, it still meant that she had bumped into him downstairs if she had told such a lie. With Aster's current condition, Larissa would never have let him be outside all by himself.
"So what if they are?" Dylan teased him relentlessly. "It's not like you don't know that Larissa dislikes anyone that has anything to do with you now."
