Chapter 256\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVery well,\u201d Zoltan said, instructing a servant to show them the way. He then addressed his other children and grandchildren. \u201cIf you have nothing else to do, go with the Judsons and help greet the guests.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Grandpa!\u201d Avril was the first to rise. She eagerly ran over to Larissa. \u201cLarissa, is there anything I can do to help?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had made up her mind. She was on Team Larissa now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa smiled warmly at Avril\u2019s friendly gesture. \u201cThe biggest help you can be is not causing trouble like Garrick.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril thumped her chest. \u201cYou can count on me! I will not cause any trouble for you or Haskell!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her mother, Harriett, watched without interfering, confident in her daughter\u2019s judgment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Faith and Solomon looked at Avril with disdain. A Palmer sucking up to a Judson was a disgrace to their family name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSolomon, Faith, let\u2019s go,\u201d said their father, Tobias. \u201cLet\u2019s do as your grandfather said and see if we can be of any assistance at the reception.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Dad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they passed Garrick and Fraser, Solomon smirked. \u201cDidn\u2019t I tell you? The game isn\u2019t over yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Faith whispered mockingly to Garrick, \u201cIt was fun watching you shoot yourself in the foot. You should know better than to be clever when you\u2019re that stupid.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fraser\u2019s face was grim, while Garrick shot his brother a guilty look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Solomon reached Haskell, he paused and looked down at him in the wheelchair. Haskell\u2019s expression was unreadable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A slight, mocking smile touched Solomon\u2019s lips. \u201cHaskell, even though your engagement to Honora fell through, this Judson heiress seems to be just as impressive. You\u2019re a lucky man. I wish you and Larissa a long and happy life together. May you be inseparable, \u2018til death do you part.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stressed the last few words, the threat unmistakable. He was making it clear that if he ever moved against Haskell, Larissa would be a target as well. He would see them both dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the face of such a blatant threat, Haskell\u2019s deep eyes turned icy cold. Yet, he simply replied, \u201cI accept your blessings.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The few simple words carried an immense, unspoken pressure. Solomon hated Haskell\u2019s unflappable composure. It was as if nothing could touch him, no danger could defeat him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And infuriatingly, it was true.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ever since Zoltan had given him a small subsidiary company, Haskell had turned it into a powerhouse, overcoming every obstacle and threat thrown his way. Until now. Until he had been crippled trying to save Valeria, a girl with no blood relation to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 256\u00a0<\/p>\n
But was it really an accident?\u00a0<\/p>\n
No, Solomon knew. Haskell had been betrayed by those closest to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abandoned by his family, with only Zoltan\u2019s favor to his name, Haskell was nothing but a pathetic stray. Dealing with him now would be child\u2019s play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
