Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 352
Chapter 352
Watching Avril and her friends, Finley felt a growing sense of unease. He could understand her calling Haskell for support, but why bring Avril? And with her friends? Was this a party? Was Larissa planning something?
Whatever it was, their own plan had to proceed. With his family in shambles–one in a coma, one injured, one disfigured–they had to act now or risk losing everything. The arrow was already nocked; it had to be fired.
Finley pushed his worries aside and walked with Honora toward Josette’s car. The door slid open, and Josette and Jagger stepped out.
As Finley greeted them, he was surprised to see Lucius and Helena in the car as well.
Lucius stepped out, then turned to help his grandmother. “Grandma, be careful.”
Avril’s friends stared at Lucius, his handsome face a match for Haskell’s. One of them whispered in shock, “Mr. Lincoln is here too?”
“What’s going on? I thought he hated being called ‘eternal second–best‘ and avoided any event where Haskell was present. But he’s here today… This is going to be good!”
“Avril, you weren’t kidding!”
Avril puffed out her chest. “Of course not. Larissa told me there would be a good show today, and she never disappoints!”
Helena stepped out of the car, leaning on Lucius’s arm. Her gaze immediately found Larissa, the memory of Larissa’s visit to the Lincoln family estate still fresh and infuriating.
“Larissa, did you have a run–in with Lucius?” Haskell asked quietly.
Larissa shrugged. “Not Lucius, but I did offend Helena. I slapped her son Jagger a few times in front of her. Same difference, they’re all one family.”
Haskell smiled. “I see.”
Even so, Lucius wouldn’t have come to the Judson estate just because Jagger was slapped. He had to be interested in Larissa herself.
Vivica, expecting Josette and Jagger, hurried out to greet them, only to stop in her tracks when she saw Helena and Lucius. They were the true power brokers of the Lincoln family. In all the years Josette and Jagger had been married, Helena and Lucius had never once set foot on Judson property. Their presence today could only mean one thing: they were here for Larissa.
Vivica quickly composed herself and rushed forward. “Josette! You should have told me Helena and Lucius were coming.”
“It was a last–minute decision,” Helena said before Josette could reply. “I heard you were making Larissa apologize to my Jagger today, so I decided to come and see it for myself.”
It was just as Vivica had hoped. Larissa had made a powerful enemy.
“Don’t you worry,” Vivica said quickly. “We’ll make sure that girl apologizes until you are completely

satisfied.”
Helena glanced at Larissa, then at Haskell beside her. “Haskell is here, I see. No doubt to protect his
little tramp. You’d better not disappoint me.”
