Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 333
Chapter 333
Larissa understood immediately.
“You’re going to kidnap his sister, Faith Palmer?” She asked.
“Exactly,” Haskell confirmed. “If Solomon can kidnap Draven to threaten me, then I can kidnap Faith to threaten him. I might not save Draven, but Solomon would never abandon his sister, Faith.”
The old Haskell might have hesitated to make such a move. But after Draven’s betrayal, he had learned a hard lesson: mercy toward your enemies is cruelty to yourself, regardless of whether that enemy is a stranger or family.
“It’s a good plan,” Larissa said. “But I heard from Avril that for most of the Palmer family, profit comes before kinship. What if Solomon doesn’t care about Faith’s life?”
Haskell chuckled softly. “The others might prioritize their own interests, but they aren’t so cold–blooded as to ignore a family member’s life. They might sacrifice someone’s interests, but not their life.”
Crispin, understanding the plan, immediately said, “Mr. Palmer, I’ll get on it right away.”
“Good,” Haskell nodded.
After Crispin left, Haskell turned his attention back to Larissa. “What about you? What’s the situation with Finley? Did you give him the antidote?”
“No,” Larissa said. “On a whim, I made him choose between curing himself or curing Honora.”
Haskell caught the flicker of emotion in her eyes. “He chose Honora?”
Larissa shrugged. “He did. He gave his only chance to her.”
She paused, her voice tinged with an old bitterness. “At this point, I thought I was done with them, that I had no hope or feelings left for that family. But you know what? When Finley made his choice, no matter his reasons, I admit I was still so angry. I still hated them.”
“When Honora came to me for the cure, she was so smug, asking if I was angry. I didn’t answer her, because deep down, I really was.”
“Haskell, I told you to be ruthless with Draven, but it seems I haven’t completely followed my own advice. I can’t believe Finley’s choice still got to me.”
Haskell listened quietly. He moved his wheelchair closer to her and gently cupped her face, his expression serious and incredibly tender. “Larissa, if you didn’t feel anything, you wouldn’t be you. On the surface, you seem decisive and ruthless, but your heart is softer than most people’s. That’s why you agreed to work with me that day, isn’t it?”
Thinking back, Larissa smiled. “You’re right. When I saw you, you had lost the use of your legs and Honora had just broken off your engagement. But despite all that, you weren’t lost or bitter. That’s why I agreed to your proposal.”
Haskell’s eyes filled with admiration. “So, it’s only natural that you’d be angry about Finley’s choice. But the fact that you can push past those feelings and still make a rational counterattack–that’s

what makes you so formidable.
Larose looked at him, realy looked at him. She realized that when Haskell spoke to others, his voice, though gentle, was cool and distant. But with her, it was always warm and sincere. She could feel he unwavering devotion, which made her understand Honora’s taunts even more clearly.
She smiled again. “I’m tired of playing games with Honora and her family. I think it’s time to wake Leopold up, expose Honora’s true colors to the whole family, and put an end to all of this.”
