Larissa closed the door and locked it from the inside.
The two people outside her door left after a minute, but they probably didn’t go downstairs because
Larissa heard the sounds of their doors closing, one after another.
Larissa kept her eyes open until dawn.
She did not sleep a wink, but no one came to knock on her door after that.
Breakfast was still delivered to her room by the household stall.
As Larissa was about to close the door, Reuben emerged from the room across from hers.
Glancing at the tray in her hand, he mouthed silently. “Do not eat that.”
After what happened last night, Larissa trusted Reuben more than anyone else in this house.
Throwing the pancakes and hash browns into the trash, she sat back and waited to see what would
happen next.
As expected, someone knocked on her door again after half an hour.
“Larissa, are you awake?”
This time it wasn’t Dorian, but Lana.
Larissa remained silent.
Lana twisted the doorknob but the door didn’t budge.
She inserted the key to Larissa’s room that she had prepared earlier into the lock and unlocked the
door.
However, when Lana entered the room, the first thing she saw was Larissa standing right behind the
door.
She crossed her arms and stared at Lana calmly.
Lana was startled at Larissa’s appearance and dropped the key in her hand.
it fell to the ground with a loud clang.
“Lari Larissa, you’re awake. Why didn’t you respond?” Lana laughed dryly.
“You woke me up when I was about to fall asleep. I got up to open the door for you, but you managed
to come in by yourself.” Larissa bent down, retrieved the key from the floor, and casually put it in her
pocket. “This is the key to my room, right? Since I’ve lost my old one. I’ll take this instead.”
Lana opened her mouth to protest, but she finally relented. “Alright,” she said reluctantly.
“Do you need something from me? Larissa asked her.
“Oh!” Lana seemed to have just remembered why she came. “Dad came home, and everyone’s in the
living room downstairs. He asked me to come up and get you.”
“No, thanks,” Larissa refused. “I just had breakfast, for some reason, I feel a bit tired. I need to sleep a
little longer.”
This time, Lana didn’t try to persuade her like she did yesterday. Instead, she smiled with glee.
“If you’re tired, then rest well I’m sure Dad will understand.” Lana said reassuringly. “By the way, if
you’re going to sleep, don’t lock the door. I’m afraid you won’t hear me when I come to call you for
lunch. Dad said everyone must be present for today’s lunch, no absences allowed.”
“Okay,” Larissa agreed.
As soon as Lana lett, she immediately locked the door.
Well, it seemed that everyone in the Seymour family was involved in this conspiracy. No one was an
exception.
Larissa felt that she couldn’t just sit and wait for her impending doom.
If she locked herself up in her room and refused to come out, they would definitely suspect something.

Besides, she couldn’t go without eating or drinking for the next two days.
Larissa freshened up and changed her clothes. She decided to grab the bull by its homs and went
downstairs.
As Lana had said, both the Seymour and Cole families were in the living room on the first floor.
However, the atmosphere was more solemn than what Larissa had imagined.
A dark cloud hung over everyone in the living room as they had gloomy expressions on their faces.
Forcing a smile, Larissa spoke up, breaking the mysterious silence. “Why is everyone so quiet? What
are we doing here?”
Upon hearing her voice, the expression on their faces changed abruptly.
“Lari? Weren’t you going to sleep? Why did you come downstairs? Yvette asked in surprise.
“I thought about it and decided it’s better to come down and say hello.” Larissa sat down beside Yvette
and held her hand naturally.
Yvette’s body stiffened and there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.
Instinctively, she wanted to pull her hand away, but she hesitated for a few seconds before relenting.
