Chapter 35<\/p>\n
Larissa slowly lowered the card, a sharp glint appearing in her narrowed eyes. \u201cVivica, you\u2019re not only shameless\u2014you\u2019re downright cheap.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivica froze, her face twisting in disbelief. \u201cWhat did you just say? You called us cheap? This is ten million dollars\u2014more than you could ever make selling your precious herbs! And you\u2019re turning your nose up at it?\u201d<\/p>\n
With a sneer, Larissa flung the card back toward her mother\u2019s face. \u201cYou honestly think ten million dollars can buy my forgiveness? Have you lost your mind?\u201d<\/p>\n
The rude gesture made Vivica stumble backward, her shock evident. \u201cLarissa, how can you treat your own mother like this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Without hesitation, Larissa swung herself out of the hammock where she\u2019d been lounging, grabbed a large banana leaf nearby, and began fanning it aggressively in Vivica\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cStop that!\u201d Vivica cried, ducking away from the flapping leaf.<\/p>\n
Finally, Larissa tossed it aside at her feet. \u201cIf you come here spouting nonsense again, next time I\u2019ll feed you bird droppings. Go ahead\u2014try me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still shaken, Vivica stomped on the leaf lying on the ground, frustration boiling over. \u201cLarissa, there\u2019s a limit to your games! You\u2019re refusing ten million dollars? Don\u2019t you have even a shred of gratitude?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want your ten million dollars,\u201d Larissa replied coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what do you want? You could spend your whole life selling herbs and never see that kind of money! How can you be so ungrateful?\u201d<\/p>\n
Larissa smiled, but it was a cold, bitter smile. \u201cYou could hand me the entire Judson fortune, and I still wouldn\u2019t forgive you. And don\u2019t think I\u2019m unaware of the truth\u2014you always knew I was your real daughter, didn\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivica\u2019s mouth went dry. How could Larissa possibly know that?<\/p>\n
Larissa\u2019s eyes hardened, turning icy. \u201cBut you were ashamed of me. You abandoned me to survive on my own. Since you showed me no mercy, don\u2019t expect any kindness in return.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026 you have the nerve to talk about kindness? What are you planning\u2014disowning us like some tragic heroine? Maybe I should just end this now!\u201d Vivica\u2019s voice shook with fury. Her gaze darted around until she spotted a wooden stake lying near a flowerbed. Without hesitation, she lunged for it.<\/p>\n
The stake swung through the air, but Larissa caught it barehanded, yanked it from Vivica\u2019s grip, snapped it in two, and casually tossed the pieces aside.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll tell you something,\u201d Larissa said, her voice low and dangerous, dripping with venom. \u201cWhen I came back, I never intended to acknowledge you. I came to make your lives miserable. I planned to take over the entire Judson empire, but I\u2019ve realized everyone else in this family has some decency. So now, I\u2019ve decided to focus on destroying just your little branch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivica was left sputtering, unable to find words. \u201cYou\u2026 you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour eldest son, Finley, runs Starlight Media. He\u2019s finally signed a few promising talents and even turned a small profit, but he\u2019s still nowhere near the major players in Regal City.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Leopold, with his tiny home music studio. He had that one hit song, remember? It would be such a shame if some scandal broke out right now. I wonder if he\u2019d ever recover.\u201d<\/p>\n
Larissa\u2019s eyes locked onto Vivica\u2019s. \u201cTell me, Vivica, what if I ruined their careers\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivica\u2019s finger trembled as she pointed at Larissa, voice barely above a whisper. \u201cWhat are you trying to do?\u201d<\/p>\n
Larissa tilted her head, a cruel smile playing on her lips. \u201cWhy are you so angry, Vivica? I\u2019m only talking about destroying your sons\u2019 futures, and you can\u2019t handle it. But you think it\u2019s perfectly fine that Honora stole twenty years of my life?\u201d<\/p>\n
