Chapter 301\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo swallow your pride when your own daughter is bullied and call it being \u2018sensible\u2018\u2013that\u2019s what truly brings shame to the family,\u201d Sapphira retorted, her tone sharp and unforgiving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Helena frowned. \u201cI never knew you could be so sharp\u2013tongued. It seems this newfound daughter of yours has had quite the influence on you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glanced at Larissa, noting that while the girl\u2019s audacious attitude was irritating, her composure was undeniably impressive. She showed not a flicker of fear, even when facing\u00a0<\/p>\n
her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI truly don\u2019t understand what magic this girl from the Judson family possesses,\u201d Helena mused aloud. \u201cShe\u2019s managed to make half of Regal City see her in a new light.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that, Sapphira answered without hesitation, \u201cIt\u2019s because Larissa is exceptional\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHah! Exceptional?\u201d Helena scoffed at the answer, dismissing the rumors she\u2019d heard about the young Judson heiress. \u201cRegal City is full of exceptional young people. What\u2019s so special about some country girl who was just brought back from peddling herbal remedies?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s because you\u2019re old,\u201d Sapphira said bluntly, \u201cand your age is clouding your judgment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa let out a chuckle. \u201cMom, your words are getting more venomous by the day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira blushed slightly. \u201cWell, I still have a lot to learn from you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Helena stared at them, speechless. Was this really the time for mutual admiration?\u00a0<\/p>\n
In all her years, Helena had never been subjected to such disrespect, especially not from two people of inferior standing. Her voice turned icy, her words dripping with sarcasm. \u201cI saw the news about your daughter\u2019s engagement party with Haskell Palmer last night. Although the Lincoln family wasn\u2019t invited, it was quite the grand affair. It seems not only Haskell but also the family patriarch, Zoltan Palmer, is quite pleased with his new granddaughter\u2013in\u2013law\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could finish, Sapphira cut in. \u201cThat\u2019s right. Zoltan has better judgment than you. He can see just how remarkable Larissa is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Helena\u2019s face tightened. \u201cIs that so? What a joke. All of Regal City used to praise Haskell for his brilliance, claiming the Palmers would leave us all in the dust once he took out look at him now\u2013first crippled by his own brother, and now captivated by a little b\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Zoltan,\u201d she continued with disdain, \u201cI hear his health has been poor since his suppose he\u2019s become so muddled he\u2019d approve of a girl like this. It seems the Palmer family\u2019s future is truly in peril.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shrugged, unfazed. \u201cHelena, you don\u2019t need to worry about the Judsons or the Palmers. I can\u2019t speak for much else, but with me treating Grandpa Zoltan, I guarantee he\u2019ll outlive you!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 301\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou insolent brat!\u201d Helena shot up, enraged. \u201cAre you wishing an early death upon me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josette was stunned. She had thought Larissa was only disrespectful to the Judson elders, but now she realized her mistake. Larissa\u2019s contempt was universal; she dared to challenge any elder who crossed her, even the matriarch of the Lincoln family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger Lincoln could no longer tolerate Larissa\u2019s insolence toward his mother. He lunged forward verbally, snarling, \u201cIt seems you came to the Lincoln estate looking for a death wish! Fine, I\u2019ll grant it to you today and see if that old geezer from the Judson family really dares to challenge us over it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He snatched an intercom from the sofa and barked into it, \u201cGet a few men in the main now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
H~ IE i = 0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira\u2019s heart clenched. Kiernan had suggested they bring bodyguards, but insisted they weren\u2019t necessary. If Jagger was serious about attacking them, what were they\u00a0<\/p>\n
ad going to do?\u00a0<\/p>\n
