Chapter 196\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell sighed, a regretful smile playing on his lip can\u2019t help it. Being crippled has twisted my mind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have a strange sense of humor,\u201d Draven said, glancing at him. \u201cBut if you\u2019re truly having psychological issues, you should seek treatment. Otherwise, I\u2019m afraid Grandpa will keep delaying his decision about the succession.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he walked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s dark eyes followed Draven\u2019s retreating back, a cold glint in them. He tapped a finger on the armrest of his wheelchair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Draven,\u201d he thought. \u201cYou\u2019re about to learn what it means to bite off more than you can chew. I could have guaranteed you and Valeria a lifetime of wealth and comfort, but you just had to choose your own destruction.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A variety of instruments were arranged in the center of the hall: a grand piano, violins, cellos, guitars, a drum set.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora walked to the piano first, lifted the lid, and launched into a world\u2013renowned, notoriously difficult piece. She played it flawlessly from start to finish. Her posture was elegant, her fingers flying across the keys with breathtaking speed. She looked every bit the noble princess.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe truly is Regal City\u2019s prodigy. That piece is incredibly difficult, yet she makes it look like child\u2019s play.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. She\u2019s won more awards than we\u2019ve had lavish feasts!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold led the applause, shouting, \u201cBravo! Honora, that was brilliant!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley\u2019s eyes also held a spark of admiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica finally felt a sense of relief. She shot a look at Sapphira, who was seated across from them. \u201cHonora is truly a daughter to be proud of. Look at her play. Such grace, such talent. Larissa simply can\u2019t compare.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira\u2019s reply was laced with scorn. \u201cI suppose Calista\u2019s gamble paid off. She may be in prison, but at least her daughter was raised well by my sister\u2013in\u2013law and is now shining so brightly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The old Sapphira had been too mild\u2013mannered to engage in such verbal sparring with Vivica. But now, she couldn\u2019t stand to hear a single slight against Larissa. Motherhood had given her a spine of steel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 106\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica was fuming. \u201cYou\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sputtered for a moment, unable to find a retort. Finally, she huffed, \u201cAt least Honora is s sentimental child. Not like Larissa, who cuts people off the moment she\u2019s displeased. She\u2019s clearly cold\u2013hearted. You can be as good to her as you want now, but the second you do something she doesn\u2019t like, she\u2019ll probably abandon you for someone else.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira scoffed. \u201cThat\u2019s hilarious. What you did wasn\u2019t a minor displeasure, it was a profound betrayal. And as for your adopted daughter, who knows if her loyalty is to family or to fortune?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica was about to argue further when Paxton interjected sternly, \u201cThat\u2019s enough. What\u2019s the point of arguing with Sapphira? She\u2019s a new mother. It\u2019s only natural for her to be a bit irrational.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica smirked. \u201cYou\u2019re right. Sapphira never raised a child from birth, so she wouldn\u2019t understand the effort and emotion that goes into it, or why you can\u2019t just cast a child aside.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This had always been Sapphira\u2019s greatest sorrow. Whenever it was brought up, she would fall silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But not anymore. Larissa was her child, her precious daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amid the admiring gazes of the audience, Honora rose from the piano bench and offered Larissa a saccharine smile. \u201cIs there anything else you\u2019d like to see me play, Larissa? And if you truly want to learn, I can teach you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gestured casually to the other instruments. \u201cNot just the piano. I can teach you how to play any of these.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Haskell, trapped in his wheelchair, felt the weight of his past choices pressing down on him as he watched Draven\u2019s retreating figure. The bitterness of his thoughts contrasted sharply with the beauty of Honora\u2019s music, a reminder of both his own limitations and the potential that others possessed. Draven\u2019s dismissive attitude ignited a spark of resentment within Haskell, fueling a desire for revenge that threatened to overshadow the fleeting moments of joy surrounding him.
