Chapter 299\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following at a distance, Vivica saw that Larissa and Sapphira were still waiting outside the Lincoln estate and correctly guessed they were being stonewalled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hilariously, the little brat had actually hired people to make a racket, thinking she could force Josette out. How pathetic. She really had no idea who she was dealing with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd to think I was worried enough to follow them here. What a complete waste of my time,\u201d Vivica thought. She instructed her driver to turn the car around. She would leave the Lincolns to deal with the brat; she had more important things to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After another round of Larissa shouting through her megaphone and the band blasting their instruments, the Lincoln\u2019s butler finally reappeared. He was covering his ears, shouting to be heard over the din. \u201cMs. Judson, what is the meaning of this!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa replied through the megaphone, \u201cIsn\u2019t it obvious? I\u2019m looking for my aunt Josette. This is what happens when you refuse to open the gate or let her come out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler looked exasperated. He frowned and yelled, \u201cAlright, alright! Tell them to stop! I\u2019ll take you to see her!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou got it!\u201d Larissa turned, raised a hand, and shouted, \u201cCut!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The deafening noise stopped instantly, and a blessed silence fell over the street.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler breathed a sigh of relief, lowering his hands from his ears as he opened the gate. \u201cThis way, Ms. Judson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa turned to the band. \u201cAlright, you can go collect your pay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, the musicians packed up and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Sapphira, who had been waiting in her car, got out and walked over to Larissa\u2019s side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler was surprised to see Sapphira.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Judson grew up in the countryside and just returned to the family, so perhaps her ignorance can be excused,\u201d he said, unable to stop himself. \u201cBut you, Mrs. Judson, you come from a distinguished family. How can you be a part of this\u2026 this spectacle?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira\u2019s expression was perfectly composed as she retorted, \u201cThe Lincolns are one of the most prominent families in Regal City. One would think they\u2019d understand the basics of hospitality, not leave their guests waiting outside the gate for over half an hour for no reason.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler was speechless. Sapphira was known in their social circles for her gentle, reserved nature. But now? Her words were surprisingly sharp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira ignored the butler and turned to Larissa, her voice immediately softening. \u201cCome on, Larissa. Let\u2019s go find your aunt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa grinned. \u201cAlright, Mom!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 299\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Sapphira and Larissa were inside, the butler closed the gate and led them briskly toward the\u00a0<\/p>\n
main house,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Three people were seated on the sofas in the living room: an elderly woman with silver hair who could only be Helena, Josette, and her husband, Jagger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, you are such a damn nuisance!\u201d Jagger snapped impatiently. He was still in his pajamas, clearly just woken up. \u201cI was finally getting some sleep, and that god\u2013awful racket you hired woke me up! That was you, wasn\u2019t it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was seething. After leaving the Palmers\u2018 engagement party last night, he couldn\u2019t stand Josette\u2019s constant complaining, so he\u2019d gone to a club instead of coming home. He didn\u2019t get back until after three in the morning when the club closed. He\u2019d been too tired to even go to his room and had crashed on the living room sofa. Then Josette had come downstairs, already fuming about a call from her niece, and her tirade had made it impossible for him to get any more sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing the butler had no intention of offering them a seat, Larissa refused to be snubbed. She walked over to an empty sofa, sat down, and patted the cushion next to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, Mom, have a seat. Looks like we might be here for a while.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
