Faith stopped laughing, her curiosity piqued. \u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick\u2019s eyes darted around mischievously. \u201cOne hundred wheelchairs!\u201d he said in a stage whisper. \u201cThey\u2019re on their way now. The look on his face when they arrive is going to be priceless!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Faith\u2019s eyes widened. \u201cOh my god, Garrick, that\u2019s just evil! A hundred wheelchairs? You\u2019re basically wishing him a lifetime of being crippled at his own engagement party!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick puffed out his chest, looking proud. \u201cPretty brilliant, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Faith gave him a thumbs\u2013up. \u201cImpressive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u0645\u0627\u0645\u00a0<\/p>\n
s taking them\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing.\u201d Garrick yawned and stood up. \u201cI\u2019m getting tired of waiting. v. so long? Maybe his current wheelchair is a piece of junk. Looks like he really does need an upgrade. I\u2019m going to go see what\u2019s going on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He started toward the exit, but just as he stepped outside, he saw Haskell and Larissa approaching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell was dressed in a custom\u2013made red suit jacket with white trousers and a white shirt. Larissa wore a hand\u2013embroidered red gown that cinched at the waist, her makeup subtle and elegant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick immediately waved. \u201cHaskell! Long time no see! Solomon and the others were just talking about you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing his voice, all the young Palmers in the hall looked over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been a while,\u201d Haskell said with a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa had already studied the family files and knew the man in his early twenties was Garrick, the younger son of the fourth branch\u2013a notorious bully who loved playing pranks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An idea struck Garrick, and he hurried over, his expression overly eager. \u201cHaskell, let me get that for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He forcefully pushed Crispin aside. \u201cI\u2019ll take it from here!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crispin frowned. \u201cMr. Garrick\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, relax, Crispin,\u201d Garrick said. \u201cAre you afraid I don\u2019t know how to push a wheelchair?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa, standing nearby, didn\u2019t miss the malicious glint in Garrick\u2019s eyes. He was clearly up to no good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrying to mess with Haskell?\u201d she thought. \u201cFine. You can be the first to go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s alright, Crispin,\u201d Larissa said with a smile. \u201cLet him do it. As he said himself, he can\u2019t be\u00a0<\/p>\n

so useless that he can\u2019t even push a wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Larissa had spoken, Crispin stepped back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick, however, was not pleased. He shot Larissa a look and rolled his eyes. \u201cSo you\u2019re the Judson heiress from the countryside, my cousin\u2019s fianc\u00e9e, Larissa? Maybe no one cared about your sharp tongue back in the village, but if you want to marry into the Palmer family, you\u2019d better learn some manners.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid I say something wrong?\u201d Larissa asked, feigning innocence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was that about me being useless?\u201d he demanded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, my apologies,\u201d Larissa said with mock sincerity. \u201cI misspoke.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick looked satisfied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But then Larissa added, \u201cYou are useful. You can, at the very least, push a wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick scowled. \u201cWhatever. I\u2019m not going to argue with some uncultured country girl.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked down at Haskell. \u201cYou know, Haskell, you need to keep your woman in line. You can\u2019t have your fianc\u00e9e running around our family acting like a shrew.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he spoke, he pushed the wheelchair toward the entrance of the hall. Seeing the steps leading inside, a wicked glint appeared in his eyes. In a moment, he would \u201caccidentally\u201d let go, sending Haskell tumbling out of his chair. He\u2019d fall flat on his face in front of everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
