Chapter 55

Larissa had just finished drying her hair when her phone buzzed again. Glancing at the screen, she noticed a message from an unfamiliar number.

[Larissa, if you block me one more time, you’ll lose your chance to be my woman forever! This Saturday, I’m going to the welcome party for the newly returned heiress of the Judson family. I bet you’ve never been to anything this grand, right? If you still want to be mine, meet me at the Regal City train station. I’ll pick you up, and you can be my personal assistant. Remember, this is your final chance!]

A wave of self-disgust washed over Larissa. Why on earth had she saved Torrin Dillon’s life? She should’ve just left him to rot by the roadside. The worst part was that she had actually believed he was a decent person and had even dated him for two whole months! That period would forever remain the darkest, most humiliating chapter of her life.

Yet, what a twist of fate that this fool was invited to her own welcome party. She couldn’t help but wonder how his face would look when he realized she was the long-lost heiress of the Judson family.

This time, instead of calling him a fool and blocking him outright, Larissa typed back:

[Alright, see you tomorrow at noon at the train station!]

She decided to make him wait—make him wait so long he’d grow old and gray before she showed up.

Leaning back against the headboard, she was about to relax when a news alert suddenly popped up on her screen.

[Scandal Exposed! Regal City Heir Infertile?!]

What? She had no interest in such tabloid nonsense and tried to swipe the notification away, but accidentally tapped on it. As she skimmed the article, she realized it was about Haskell.

Without hesitation, she forwarded the link to him.

Seconds later, his reply appeared: ?

Followed by: …

And then: Don’t believe it.

08:37

Larissa was in the middle of typing, “Don’t worry, if you’re infertile, I can fix that too!” when she saw his messages. She deleted her text. She could almost feel his panic radiating through the screen. Honestly, she didn’t care whether he could have children or not. If they married, having kids wasn’t a necessity. There was so much more to life than that.

Instead, she sent him a sticker that read, “You’ve got this!”

He quickly responded, “Is everything settled on your end?”

Larissa rose from her chair, opened her desk drawer, and snapped a photo of the cover page of her disownment agreement. She sent it to him.

[All taken care of!]

Haskell smiled when he saw her message. She was impressively decisive. She had only recently returned to the Judson family and had already severed all ties with her biological parents.

So why was he still hesitating? Since Draven and Valeria had betrayed him, he just needed to deal with them both once and for all.

[You cut ties with them, and Paxton didn’t kick you out?] he asked.

She replied quickly.

[I immediately asked Neville and Sapphira to adopt me. They’re amazing! I don’t care what anyone says—they’re my real parents now!]

Haskell chuckled softly at her words.

[You’re right. Not all biological parents truly love their children. It’s the same for me. I can tell my father doesn’t really like me, especially since Draven came back. He pays so much more attention to Draven than to me. I never minded before. My brother went through so much out there; it’s only natural for Dad to want to make up for it. But I never imagined my own brother would want me dead.]

Conclusion
