Chapter 238\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica stared at Larissa, unsure if she was being serious. \u201cFirst of all, I doubt you have the ability. Second, why would you be so kind?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, it wouldn\u2019t be out of kindness. There would be conditions,\u201d Larissa said, keeping a close eye on Honora, who had visibly tensed at the mention of Leopold waking up. Clearly, she didn\u2019t want him to\u00a0<\/p>\n
recover.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Interesting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, Aunt Vivica,\u201d Larissa pressed, \u201care you interested?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVivica, don\u2019t listen to this brat,\u201d Josette interrupted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica snapped back to reality. Larissa was the reason her son was in this state. Why would she help him? And did she really have the medical expertise? This was the best hospital in Regal City, and Leopold was being treated by the top doctors. They had said his recovery was up to him. How could Larissa claim she could wake him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what you\u2019re planning, but I\u2019m not falling for it,\u201d Vivica said firmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSuit yourself,\u201d Larissa shrugged. \u201cHe\u2019s not my son. It makes no difference to me whether he wakes up or not. I\u2019m not the one losing sleep over it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The elevator doors opened on the sixth floor, and she stepped out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the doors closed, Vivica felt a flicker of doubt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What if\u2026 just what if Leopold didn\u2019t wake up on his own? Maybe it would be worth a shot. But she couldn\u2019t imagine what impossible conditions Larissa would demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Larissa neared Haskell\u2019s room, she ran into Draven, who was just leaving. His face was dark, and he radiated a palpable, menacing anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven turned, and his expression shifted from a scowl to a forced, friendly smile when he saw her. \u201cMiss Judson. Here to treat my brother\u2019s legs again, I see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa noted the lunch box in his hand. It seemed his \u201ckindness\u201d had been rejected by Haskell, which would explain his foul mood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right,\u201d she said with a playful smirk. \u201cAnd you\u2019re here to be humiliated by Haskell again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven\u2019s smile froze. This was his first real interaction with the Judson heiress, and she was already so blatantly rude.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems my brother has told you quite a bit about our family,\u201d he said, his eyes narrowing as he studied her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. We\u2019re going to be husband and wife. Honesty is important. I know all about the Palmer family, especially you and your sister, Valeria,\u201d Larissa said, then corrected herself. \u201cOh, wait. Valeria was kicked out of the family by Zoltan for her mistakes, so she\u2019s not a Palmer anymore, is she?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 238\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven\u2019s smile vanished completely. \u201cIt seems my brother trusts you a great deal, telling you all our family business.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, he sees me as more trustworthy than a backstabbing snake like Valeria, Larissa said with a grin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven\u2019s grip on the lunch box tightened. \u201cYou\u2019ve always been this direct, haven\u2019t you, Miss Judson? Aren\u2019t you afraid of making enemies with that sharp tongue of yours?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the people I\u2019m offending are like you, then no, I\u2019m not afraid at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven\u2019s eyes glinted with a dangerous light. \u201cOh? And what kind of person is that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without missing a beat, Larissa said, \u201cA nobody.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
