Chapter 295\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica knew immediately what this was about. Kiernan was here to make Josette honor her bet with\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe really has lost his mind!\u201d she thought. \u201cDoes he actually intend to make his own daughter kneel before his granddaughter?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This only solidified her theory from the previous night. Kiernan had to be under Larissa\u2019s control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica sat down on the sofa opposite him. \u201cJosette and Jagger went back to the Lincoln estate after the party last night.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kiernan snorted. \u201cBack to the Lincoln estate? Did she forget her bet with Larissa? She was the one who was so sure she could get Zendar to meet with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He shook his head. If it weren\u2019t for Larissa, the Judson family would be in a steady decline thanks to\u00a0<\/p>\n
the likes of Josette and Paxton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, Josette is your daughter,\u201d Vivica said in disbelief. \u201cShe\u2019s Larissa\u2019s aunt. The bet was just a silly competition. You can\u2019t seriously expect her to kneel and apologize to a junior.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you can\u2019t afford to lose, don\u2019t make the bet,\u201d Kiernan retorted sternly. \u201cIf we conduct business with the same lack of integrity, who will ever trust the Judson family again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica was speechless. After a moment, she smoothed her hair. \u201cIf you insist, you can call her yourself and ask her to come apologize to your precious granddaughter. It\u2019s out of my hands.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, let me call her,\u201d Larissa offered. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to put you in a difficult position.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She took out her phone, got Josette\u2019s number from Sapphira, and dialed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A moment later, a groggy female voice answered. \u201cWho is this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAunt Josette, it\u2019s me, your niece, Larissa,\u201d she said cheerfully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The voice on the other end sharpened. \u201cLarissa? Why are you calling me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems you slept well, Aunt Josette. But I think you might have forgotten that you owe me an apology.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, I\u2019m your aunt. It was just a joke. You\u2019re not actually taking it seriously, are you?\u201d Josette said, clearly trying to back out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course I\u2019m taking it seriously,\u201d Larissa replied sweetly. \u201cIn fact, I was so worried you might not honor our bet that I had Grandpa witness it. He\u2019s sitting right here with me now, waiting for you to come back and apologize.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was a long silence on the other end, followed by a voice tight with anger. \u201cFine. You just wait.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hung up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa lowered her phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did she say?\u201d Kiernan asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
10\/12\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 295\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe sounded rather upset and just told me to wait. I don\u2019t think she has any intention of coming back here to apologize.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not,\u201d Vivica scoffed, seeing her chance. \u201cShe\u2019s a senior member of the Lincoln family. She\u2019s not going to kneel to a child. If you really want her apology, you\u2019ll have to go to the Lincoln estate and get it yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was confident Larissa wouldn\u2019t dare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kiernan hesitated. It would be one thing to handle this within the Judson family, but taking it to the Lincolns would be messy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa saw his hesitation and knew that\u2019s what Josette was counting on\u2013that Kiernan wouldn\u2019t risk a public confrontation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
