Chapter 277\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora never imagined Larissa would use her life as leverage to force a confession about that incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she admitted it, her carefully crafted image as a talented, pure, and noble lady of high society would be shattered. Her dreams of marrying into a top\u2013tier family would be gone forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was a fate worse than death.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora decided to take a gamble. She didn\u2019t believe Larissa would actually let her die in front of so many people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley, having seen the to\u2013do lists in Honora\u2019s notebook, trusted her implicitly. \u201cLarissa, stop projecting your own twisted nature onto others,\u201d he shot back. \u201cHonora would never do something like that!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy daughter Honora would never stoop so low,\u201d Paxton added with a cold sneer. She was his pride and joy; if she confessed to such a thing, the twenty years he had invested in her would be worthless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, you\u2019re just trying to blackmail her!\u201d Vivica chimed in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa\u2026 if you don\u2019t want to save me, then don\u2019t,\u201d Honora gasped, forcing out the words before spitting up another mouthful of blood. \u201cBut why\u2026 why must you resort to threats?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa raised an eyebrow. Well, Honora\u00a0<\/p>\n
wouldn\u2019t risk her reputation by letting her ertainly had stamina. She was betting that Larissa\u00a0<\/p>\n
die.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to save you,\u201d Larissa said with a shrug. \u201cBut Finley was the one who asked. I\u2019m just giving you a chance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right, I\u2019m begging you,\u201d Finley said, his eyes fixed on Larissa. \u201cWhatever you want, just ask it of me. Honora is in agony. How can you be so cruel as to torment her at a time like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa scoffed. \u201cI already have Starlight Media in the palm of my hand. You have no\u0269ning left to offer me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley was speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, you\u2019re really not going to treat her?\u201d he asked, his voice strained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right,\u201d Larissa confirmed. \u201cSince you all think I\u2019m threatening her, I\u2019ll just stop.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, are you just going to stand by and watch Larissa let Honora die?\u201d Vivica pleaded, turning to Kiernan as a last resort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kiernan, leaning on his cane, let out a cold snort. \u201cDid you listen to me when I told you to\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 277\u00a0<\/p>\n
watch your words? You brought this upon yourselves! Larissa has been betrayed by you time and time again. It\u2019s only natural that she wouldn\u2019t want to save Honora. I will not ask my precious granddaughter to compromise her principles for an adopted child of this family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa had wasted enough time on Honora. After treating the last of the victims, she placed the leeches back in their jar. \u201cThere, now you\u2019re all full. Time for a rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The guests shivered at the sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Putting the jar away, Larissa turned to Haskell. \u201cHaskell, the poison is dealt with. Now it\u2019s your turn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, Honora\u2019s poison hasn\u2019t been treated yet!\u201d Finley roared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa ignored him. Finley lunged forward in a rage, but Crispin and his men blocked his path. \u201cThis is the Palmer estate, Finley. I suggest you control your temper.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seething with impotent fury, Finley yelled, \u201cLarissa, you have the heart of a viper! You\u2019ll get what\u2019s coming to you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then turned to the Palmer patriarch. \u201cMr. Zoltan, are you not afraid of such a cold\u2013blooded person? Are you really going to let her marry into your family? She can be indifferent to a human life right in front of her! One day, she\u2019ll do the same to you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
To his surprise, Zoltan just laughed coldly. \u201cYour family deserves the way Larissa has treated you. At her own engagement party, you and your mother publicly slandered her. You are the ones who are cold\u2013blooded and terrifying! I have no doubt that Larissa would never treat me or my grandson that way, because we are willing to treat her with sincerity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
