Chapter 919

Kevan stood beside Larissa with a hand in his pocket. He lowered his head to look at her and ordered, “It’s getting

late, time to sleep now.”

“I ate too much, I need to exercise and burn off some calories,” Larissa said as she got up from the sofa.

There was a dedicated gym in the house. Although there wasn’t much equipment, it was sufficient for her needs.

As soon as she took a step forward. Kevan stopped her. There was a meaningful smile on his face. “Exercise? I

know of a particularly effective form of exercise to burn calories instead.”

It was the weekend, so all four of them were at home.

After the intense “workout” last night, Larissa felt a little groggy in the morning.

Yawning, she lay on the sofa in their home theater and watched a cheesy teen drama with Wendy.

“Hey, do you know if Microworks Corporation is making a fortune from this recent epidemic happening back in

Caldor?” Wendy blurted cut suddenly.

“What? Why?” Larissa’s mind was still foggy and she did not reply immediately.

Wendy explained, “With the lockdown in place, people can’t go out to have fun. They can only stay home and watch

dramas or play games! The biggest and most comprehensive streaming site online is VisualBox. It’s owned by

Microworks Corporations. Exclusive content can only be unlocked by paying for a membership. As for games, the

top three most downloaded games on the leaderboards were developed by Microworks Corporation as well. I heard

that the gaming department of M croworks Corporations made billions in revenue in just the first week of the

lockdown!”

“What’s your point? Larissa asked blankly.

Wendy stared at her in frustration. “So, Mr. Rogers is very, really, and extremely rich! Ms. Larissa, haven’t you

realized that you are on your

way to becoming a super–duper rich woman?”

However. Larissa was unperturbed. That money isn’t mine. What’s more, Kevan and I are not married yet. Even if

we do get married, that would be his pre–marital assets which have nothing to do with me. So, I’m not going to be a

super–duper–rich woman. Don’t call me that!”

“What’s the matter with you?” Wendy glared at her. After a minute, she sighed and slumped down on the sola.

“Never mind, you have a dad who’s the president of Blue Star Shipping. You’re a princess born with a silver spoon in

your mouth. That’s why you have no concept of

money.

If it weren’t for Wendy’s health, Larissa would have kicked her right then and there.

She was no princess, and she wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth. What a ridiculous image that Wendy

was trying to pin on her!

“Blue Star Shipping is seriously affected by this epidemic. I don’t know if the company can make it through the

second hall of the year.” Larissa’s mood Lumed somber when the topic came up,

“Huh? Blue Star Shipping is such a big company, how could “Wendy was taken aback.

Judging by Larissa’s appearance, it didn’t seem like she was lying.

Wendy continued, “However, I heard that several big companies in Caldor had gone bankrupt during this period as

well. It seems like even

Soaring Corporation is struggling.”

“Wasn’t Soaring Corporation already in trouble before this? Larissa was surprised that they managed to hold on for

this long.

“Soaring Corporation managed to generate some cashflow by selling land at a discounted price, but I doubt they

can sustain themselves for much longer. Their main business is still real estate, However, no one can go to work in

Caldor right now and people are struggling to

afford basic necessities.

“Who has the extra cash to buy properties? Besides, the construction quality of Soaring Corporallon has gone

downhill recently. They have not upheld their end of customer service, so there are tons of complaints online.

“Now that they have ruined their own reputation, their properties can’t be sold. Most of the newly built ones are left

vacant. Even with huge discounts, nobody’s interested. Anyway, il Caldor continues to slay locked down, Soaring

Corporation is definitely going to go bankrupt.”

company deserves to go bankrupt! Oh, the Regal Dynasty Hotel is also in danger!”

Wendy continued as her smile grew wider. “Did you know that the Calder government had appealed to hotels to be

used as quarantine

centers for suspected cases? They initially approached the Regal Dynasty Hotel, but some idiot turned them down!

“Now that the Regal Dynasty Hotel has offended the govemment, no one knows whether they will be allowed to

continue operations after the epidemic is over! With the health and fire safety department conducting raids three

times a week, it would be easy for the authorities

to give them a hard time!

“What a joke! It’s just too funny! When did the Rogers brothers become such failures? Every choice they made only

led their companies to ruin! I truly admire Mr. Rogers. Although he was bom to the same family as Cody and

Edmund, he is not at all influenced by their stupidity!

What a rare gem!”

Wendy ended her speech with wholehearted admiration for Kevan.
