Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 256
Chapter 256
“Very well,” Zoltan said, instructing a servant to show them the way. He then addressed his other children and grandchildren. “If you have nothing else to do, go with the Judsons and help greet the guests.”
“Yes, Grandpa!” Avril was the first to rise. She eagerly ran over to Larissa. “Larissa, is there anything I can do to help?”
She had made up her mind. She was on Team Larissa now.
Larissa smiled warmly at Avril’s friendly gesture. “The biggest help you can be is not causing trouble like Garrick.”
Avril thumped her chest. “You can count on me! I will not cause any trouble for you or Haskell!”
Her mother, Harriett, watched without interfering, confident in her daughter’s judgment.
Faith and Solomon looked at Avril with disdain. A Palmer sucking up to a Judson was a disgrace to their family name.
“Solomon, Faith, let’s go,” said their father, Tobias. “Let’s do as your grandfather said and see if we can be of any assistance at the reception.”
“Yes, Dad.”
As they passed Garrick and Fraser, Solomon smirked. “Didn’t I tell you? The game isn’t over yet.”
Faith whispered mockingly to Garrick, “It was fun watching you shoot yourself in the foot. You should know better than to be clever when you’re that stupid.”
Fraser’s face was grim, while Garrick shot his brother a guilty look.
When Solomon reached Haskell, he paused and looked down at him in the wheelchair. Haskell’s expression was unreadable.
A slight, mocking smile touched Solomon’s lips. “Haskell, even though your engagement to Honora fell through, this Judson heiress seems to be just as impressive. You’re a lucky man. I wish you and Larissa a long and happy life together. May you be inseparable, ‘til death do you part.”
He stressed the last few words, the threat unmistakable. He was making it clear that if he ever moved against Haskell, Larissa would be a target as well. He would see them both dead.
In the face of such a blatant threat, Haskell’s deep eyes turned icy cold. Yet, he simply replied, “I accept your blessings.”
The few simple words carried an immense, unspoken pressure. Solomon hated Haskell’s unflappable composure. It was as if nothing could touch him, no danger could defeat him.
And infuriatingly, it was true.
Ever since Zoltan had given him a small subsidiary company, Haskell had turned it into a powerhouse, overcoming every obstacle and threat thrown his way. Until now. Until he had been crippled trying to save Valeria, a girl with no blood relation to him.

But was it really an accident?
No, Solomon knew. Haskell had been betrayed by those closest to him.
Abandoned by his family, with only Zoltan’s favor to his name, Haskell was nothing but a pathetic stray. Dealing with him now would be child’s play.
