Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 641
As soon as Dylan and Kevan took their seals, one of the groom’s relatives approached them. He offered them cigarettes, trying
to get on their good side.
“It’s such an honor to meet you, Mr. Rogers. Mr. Shields,” he said in a flattering way.
Kevan remained aloel and motionless, leaving the person’s hand hanging awkwardly.
The atmosphere became somewhat uncomfortable.
Dylan quickly but politely declined the offer.
“Sorry, we don’t smoke.”
Unlike Kevar’s distant demeanor, Dylan continued to smile. This made him the primary focus of the conversation.
The man was quite chatty and skilled at flattery.
Dylan struggled to hold back his urge to send him away. Finally, he managed to find a tactful excuse to dismiss him.
As he tumed back, he caught Kevan’s smug smle. His anger surged
“It’s all your laut. How can you still laugh about it?” he retorted.
“What’s there to feel bad about?” Kevan replied, nonchalantly crossing his arms.
“He approached us because of you. And what did you do? You left him hanging and put him on me Dylan was fuming.
Despite being one of the co-founders of Microworks Corporation, he wasn’t nearly as well-known as Kevan. People would
always try to Hatter Kevan, while he was just an afterthought.
“I didn’t put him on you, I simply ignored him,” Kevan corrected him.
While others might think highly of Kevan as a gentleman, Dylan knew it was just alacade he put on when dealing with people he
found
advantageous.
In recent years. Terqua Corporation had faced bankruptcy rumors due to poor management Consequently, the Hermes family
was no longer of any use to Kevan.
Dylan couldn’t argue with Kevan’s assessment. He clenched his teeth and shot a frustrated glare al Kevan.
“There’s one thing that I find puzzling.” Kevar said, “How can you be so polite to a stranger, yet you can’t seem to be nicer to
Sharon?”
Kevan had witnessed the tense exchange between Dylan and Sharon in the ballroom earlier. He noticed the sadness in her eyes
after Dylan’s hurtful words and his dejected expression after she lett
“When you asked her to rest. i wasn’t about opposing her, am I right? You just didn’t want her to slip again on the wet floor
wearing those high heels. So, why not just tell her that honestly?”
Dylan was caught off guard by Kevan’s shrewdness. He fell a moment of panic. “What are you talking about?” he instinctively

denied, only
to lower his head when he met Keyan’s knowing gare.
After a brief pause, he sarcastically remarked, “And what about you? You used in act the same way. Aren’t we both gully of
that?”
Both of them hid their true emotions when facing the person they liked, just like hedgehogs protecting themselves with sharp
spines to avoid gelling hurt.
Kevan was taken aback and awkwardly tried to defend himself, “Well, it’s because my uncles were still around...”
“Oh, come on!” Others might not understand Kevan, but Dylan surely did! “You were just alrad of being relected by Larissa and
embarrassing yourself Dylan said. He gave Kevan a piercing look, exposing his true feelings.
However, Kevan suddenly became serious and said, ‘It’s not that.” He paused for a moment and continued, “I’m not afraid of
being
embarrassed.’
He was scared that Il Larissa knew about his feeings, she would be frightened and never give him another chance.
