Chapter 278
Seeing Zoltan defend Larissa so fiercely, Sapphira’s eyes filled with tears. She and Neville exchanged a look of profound relief.
The other guests now turned their gazes on Paxton’s family, their expressions a mixture of pity and contempt. Paxton felt his face burn with humiliation.

“Finley,” Haskell said, his voice calm but his eyes radiating a chilling coldnes dealt with the matter of the venomous creatures, you and your mother will hav for your slander against Larissa. Otherwise, you will not be leaving the Palmer estate tonight.”
A shiver of fear ran down Finley and Vivica’s spines.
Larissa walked to Haskell’s side. “Alright, don’t pay any attention to their useless barking. Let’s figure out how these creatures got into our engagement party in the first place.”
Haskell’s expression softened instantly. “Okay.”
Realizing that Larissa was truly prepared to let her die, Honora finally began to panic. As she coughed up more and more blood, she could feel her life slipping away.
“It hurts… it hurts so much… Finley, Mom… Dad… I don’t want to die…”
At that moment, watching his sister suffer, Finley felt a wave of despair wash over him.
The doctor whom Finley had threatened earlier, unable to bear the sight, sighed and stepped forward. “Fine. I’ll see what I can do for her.”
A flicker of hope ignited in Finley’s eyes. “Thank you, Doctor!”
The doctor held up a hand. “Don’t thank me yet. Your sister has been poisoned for a long time, and the venom is deep in her system. All I can do is try to keep her alive.”
Through a haze of fading consciousness, Honora heard his words and finally allowed herself a small sigh of relief.
With the victims now stable, Haskell had them moved to a quiet area to rest. He then. addressed the remaining guests, his voice clear and strong. “Regarding the disturbance tonight, which has caused all of you such fright and injury, I, Haskell Palmer, will give you a satisfactory explanation.”
A few guests immediately spoke up.
“Mr. Palmer, those of us who weren’t bitten are fine, just a little shaken.”
“What we really want to know is where those creatures came from. Was it your fiancée, Larissa? And if it was, how do you plan to handle it? You won’t just let her off, will you?”

“The information Draven gave me about Larissa’s unusual past,” Haskell explained calmly, “is something Larissa had already confessed to me herself.”
Draven froze, a curse forming in his mind. “Have Haskell and that bitch really gotten so close that they’re sharing all their secrets?”
At that, a guest pieced it together.
“If Draven knew about Larissa’s past, then it’s possible he was the one who creatures here to frame her.”

“That’s right! He wanted to ruin the engagement party, didn’t he? He has a much stronger motive than Larissa does! She has no motive at all!”
Sensing the tide turning against him, Draven began to panic. He pointed a trembling finger at Finley.
“It was Finley! He gave me the information and asked me to help him deal with Larissa! I was only cooperating because I was afraid she posed a threat to you, Bro! I had no idea he would resort to such a despicable method to frame her!”
