Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 34 Summary
Paxton reassures Honora that she deserves better and expresses his resolve not to let her marry Haskell, with Vivica promising to handle the marriage substitution. Honora feels relieved after surviving this ordeal but is shocked at how thoroughly Larissa has outplayed her, realizing she must be more cautious in the future.
Meanwhile, Sapphira and Neville comfort Larissa, affirming their genuine love for her and their desire for her to be their daughter for reasons beyond family wealth. Sapphira expresses disbelief at Honora’s harsh behavior revealed in a recording, while Neville warns that Paxton and Vivica may hold grudges after the confrontation, urging caution.
Larissa had anticipated Honora’s schemes and cleverly recorded her provocation, making her more prepared for future conflicts. She looks forward to maintaining her position as the Judson heiress and engaging in this ongoing power struggle with Honora.
The next day, Vivica visits Larissa alone, presenting her with a bank card loaded with ten million dollars as compensation for her hardships. Larissa, unimpressed by the money compared to her research expenses, sees through Vivica’s attempt to win her back, noting the insincerity beneath the gift and Vivica’s emotional plea for Larissa to return to the family.
Paxton agreed. “Honora, you are an exceptional young woman. You deserve better.”
He had already lost his biological daughter. If his adopted daughter couldn’t be used to her full potential, what would have been the point of all this?
“I will handle the marriage substitution,” Vivica promised. “No matter what, I will not let you marry Haskell!
Honora breathed a sigh of relief. She had managed to weather this storm.
She couldn’t believe Larissa had outplayed her so thoroughly. She had clearly underestimated the country girl. From now on, she would have to be much more careful.
“Larissa, your father and I genuinely love you. We wanted you to be our daughter, not because of any family fortune.” As soon as Paxton’s family was gone, Sapphira rushed to reassure her.
Larissa smiled. “I know, Mom.”
“I just can’t believe Honora is that kind of person. I can hardly recognize her voice in that recording,” Sapphira said, shaking her head. While she had never been particularly fond of Honora, she hadn’t disliked her either. They just weren’t close. In their previous encounters, the girl had always been polite and seemingly harmless.
Neville, however, recalling the venom in Honora’s eyes, wasn’t surprised. “You can’t judge a book by its cover. Anyway, it was a close call, but everything is fine now. After today’s blow–up, though, Paxton and Vivica will likely hold a grudge against us. We’ll need to be on our guard.”
“I understand,” Sapphira said with a nod.
Larissa had anticipated Honora’s schemes from the moment she returned. She was prepared. That was why she had started recording the moment Honora began her provocation. Honora just hadn’t been cautious enough. But after this, she would surely be more careful in her words and actions.
That would make things more interesting.
She planned to be the Judson heiress for a long time. She would enjoy playing this game with
Honora.
The next afternoon, before Kiernan had finalized the severing agreement, Vivica showed up again,
this time alone.
“Larissa, enjoying the sun?” Vivica said, approaching her.
Larissa was lounging in a hammock in the courtyard, a large banana leaf covering her eyes.
Hearing the voice, she sighed with theatrical weariness. “What’s that yapping sound? Strange. We don’t own a dog, yet there’s one barking in my yard every day.”
Vivica knew the insult was for her. Her face tightened, but she forced a patient tone. “Larissa, I

brought you a gift. See if you like it.”
Larissa removed the leaf from her eyes and glanced at the object in Vivica’s hand. It was a bank card.
“There are ten million dollars on this card. It’s a gift from your father and me, to compensate for the hardships you endured these past twenty years,” Vivica explained, trying to press the card into Larissa’s hand.
Ten million. A girl who had never seen real money couldn’t possibly resist.
Larissa took the card and held it up to her face. “Wow, ten million dollars.”
It was about the price of a single one of her cultivated rare herbs. Too bad she had fields of them. Ten million wouldn’t even cover one percent of her research expenses.
Seeing her reaction, Vivica thought she had her. She squeezed out a few crocodile tears. “Larissa, I know deep down you want to come back to us. We’re mother and daughter, bound by blood.”
