Solomon, however, was unimpressed. \u201cA woman like Larissa? My dad and I dealt with her type all the time in Africa. If you want to take down Haskell, humiliating him with childish games like Garrick\u2019s is pointless.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He shot a mocking look at Garrick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Faith couldn\u2019t help but chuckle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick, still smarting from the earlier humiliation, snapped, \u201cHmph! You think you\u2019re so much better than me, Solomon? I\u2019d love to see how you plan to deal with Haskell and that bitch Larissa! Just make sure you don\u2019t trip and fall, leaving the prize for my brother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Solomon sneered, a cruel glint in his eyes. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to worry about that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fastest and easiest way, of course, was to make Haskell fall from grace himself\u2013to ensure he was no longer the brilliant grandson their grandfather was so proud of.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fraser exchanged a look with his father, Trevor. He poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and smiled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He would let Solomon, that reckless brute who was just as hot\u2013headed and bloodthirsty as his father, be the one to charge ahead and wear Haskell down. All he had to do was bide his time and wait for the perfect moment to deliver the final blow and reap the rewards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On stage, Draven finished his speech and walked down with Thatch and Zoltan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zoltan cast a disapproving glance at him. \u201cDraven, don\u2019t you realize words like that will only cause trouble for your brother?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally getting the attention he craved, Draven smiled faintly. \u201cGrandpa, even if I hadn\u2019t said it, my brother\u2019s situation is already attracting trouble, isn\u2019t it? What I said doesn\u2019t change a thing. I just wanted to show everyone here that I stand firmly with him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zoltan gave him a thoughtful look but said nothing more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven was pleased. At the very least, his actions had made his grandfather finally notice him, another grandson besides Haskell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he wanted more than that. He wanted to completely replace Haskell and becom of the Palmer family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that thought, he slipped away from the backstage area, took out his phone, and dialed Torrin\u2019s number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Dillon, have you arrived?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 264\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Draven left the stage, Neville and Sapphira went up to give a toast in Larissa\u2019s honor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira\u2019s voice wavered, moving from initial nervousness to excitement, and finally to a choked sob. \u201c\u2026I only wish for my daughter to be happy for the rest of her life. She deserves it! Haskell, I hope you can promise to never let her feel wronged or sad, not for a single day!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Backstage, Haskell listened to Sapphira\u2019s words, his gaze unwavering and resolute.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Neville put an arm around Sapphira and spoke into the microphone. \u201cWhat my wife said is what I want to say. Thank you, everyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he led Sapphira off the stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, Larissa pushed Haskell\u2019s wheelchair, and they went up to the stage together to give their speech. Larissa took the microphone from its stand and handed it to Haskell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell took it, his eyes scanning the guests below. His warm, gentle voice filled the lavishly decorated hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, I want to thank every one of our friends and family for coming tonight to celebrate the engagement of my fianc\u00e9e, Larissa, and me, and for witnessing this happy moment. Secondly, I want to thank my future parents\u2013in\u2013law for entrusting me with their outstanding daughter. I swear on my life that from this day forward, I will take good care of her\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a man\u2019s voice boomed from the entrance:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaskell, I do not approve of you and Larissa getting engaged!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
