With Crispin blocking his path, Garrick knew he couldn\u2019t get to Larissa. He spun around and ran to his father, Trevor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, did you see that? Haskell\u2019s woman, that country girl from the Judson family, she kicked me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWipe the blood first,\u201d Fraser said, having a butler bring tissues for his brother. Garrick snatched the tissues and dabbed at his nose, glaring venomously at Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trevor\u2019s cold gaze swept over Larissa before settling on Haskell. His voice was heavy with authority. \u201cHaskell, is this how you manage your woman and your assistant?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell met his uncle\u2019s gaze calmly. \u201cUncle Trevor, Garrick was pushing my wheelchair and lost his grip, nearly causing me to fall down the steps. Larissa was just being protective. She didn\u2019t mean any harm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you expect me to just let it go with a simple \u2018she didn\u2019t mean any harm?\u201d Trevor\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
voice hardened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat else do you suggest? Today is my engagement party with Larissa. It\u2019s not a day for conflict,\u201d Haskell replied smoothly. \u201cI\u2019m willing to overlook the fact that Garrick insisted on pushing my wheelchair when he clearly couldn\u2019t handle it. So, I would appreciate it if you didn\u2019t make things difficult for my fianc\u00e9e.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Haskell\u2019s refusal to punish Larissa or his assistant, Trevor\u2019s anger flared. \u201cHaskell! Is that your final word on the matter?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what would you have me do, Uncle Trevor?\u201d Haskell asked, feigning helplessness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want Larissa to marry into this family, then you will let my son slap her a hundred times in front of everyone here! As for your insubordinate assistant, whichever leg he used to kick my son, I want it broken!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick threw the blood\u2013soaked tissues to the ground. \u201cMy dad is right, Haskell! That\u2019s the only way I\u2019ll be satisfied!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I\u2019m afraid I can\u2019t grant you that favor, Uncle,\u201d Haskell said with a sigh. \u201cIf you\u2019re still not satisfied, you can always take it up with my grandfather.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the mention of his father, Trevor\u2019s face grew even darker. \u201cHaskell, don\u2019t you dare try to use your grandfather to pressure me! We were just in the study with him discussing the succession. You\u2019re about to be cast aside, don\u2019t you know that? Do you really think he\u2019s still going to protect you and this fianc\u00e9e of yours?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why don\u2019t you go ask Grandpa Zoltan yourself?\u201d Larissa cut in. \u201cIf you won\u2019t, I will!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she calmly pushed Haskell\u2019s wheelchair into the hall, then cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted toward the second\u2013floor study, \u201cGrandpa Zoltan! Could\u00a0<\/p>\n

you come out for a moment? We have a situation!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The crowd was speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril, who had been enjoying the show, nearly choked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This Judson girl didn\u2019t play by any rules at all, did she? This was fascinating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even Trevor frowned, wondering what the hell she was up to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A moment later, the study door opened, and Zoltan slowly walked out. He stood at the railing, looking down at Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWas that you calling me, Larissa? What\u2019s happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Larissa could speak, Garrick spun around and yelled up to the second floor, \u201cGrandpa, that girl and Crispin just ganged up on me! Look, my nose is bleeding!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
To his surprise, instead of sympathy, Garrick received a stern rebuke from Zoltan. \u201cGarrick, do not refer to her as \u2018that girl.\u2018 She is your cousin Haskell\u2019s fianc\u00e9e. Soon, she will be your cousin\u2013in\u2013law.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick was stunned that his grandfather would side with Larissa. Trevor, too, was taken aback by Zoltan\u2019s response.\u00a0<\/p>\n
