Chapter 302\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her husband finally ready to strike Larissa, Josette gloated, \u201cLet\u2019s see how arrogant you can be now, Larissa!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shot her a look of pity. \u201cIf I were you, Aunt Josette, I wouldn\u2019t be so pleased.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josette paused, confused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLast night at my engagement party, Jagger knew I made you kneel and apologize,\u201d Larissa explained calmly. \u201cEven today, he stood by and let you do it again without lifting a finger to defend you. But now, because I said a few sharp words to his mother, he\u2019s ready to fight. Don\u2019t you feel pathetic? In his eyes, you, his wife, are worthless. I\u2019m not sure what you have to be so happy about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josette fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, she knew! She had complained about it, but what could she do? She cou to herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever. I have endless money to spend!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you really had endless money at the Lincoln estate, why would you have bothered making that bet with me?\u201d Larissa dismantled her excuse. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t just about humiliating me because you disliked me. You wanted a piece of the Judson family assets, didn\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josette, exposed, could only glare at her in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A moment later, four burly bodyguards rushed into the hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrab these two women!\u201d Jagger commanded. \u201cMake them kneel and apologize to my mother!\u201d He could tolerate insults to his wife, but never to his mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira instinctively grabbed Larissa\u2019s hand, her own trembling slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shook her head, signaling for her new mother not to worry. Before the bodyguards could reach them, she pulled her hand free, and four silver needles materialized from her sleeve, flying through the air in a blur.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bodyguards felt a sharp sting in their necks and, before they could register what had happened, collapsed to the floor, foaming at the mouth and convulsing violently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira recognized the move instantly\u2013Vivica had suffered the same fate. Her wories had been for nothing. Larissa was more than capable of protecting herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josette stared at the fallen men in horror. \u201cWhat did you do to them?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger was equally stunned, completely unprepared for this turn of events.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Helena\u2019s gaze on Larissa grew even more intense and calculating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 302\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shrugged. \u201cAs you can see, we\u2019re not backing down. So, what\u2019s your next move? Are you going to attack us, or are you going to try to ruin the Judson family?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Terrified he might end up like the convulsing bodyguards, Jagger warned her, \u201cYou two have no idea how the Lincoln family clawed its way to the top, do you? Otherwise, you\u2019d never dare to act so recklessly in our home!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, you\u2019re wrong about that, Jagger,\u201d Larissa said, a knowing smile on her face. \u201cI know exactly how your family got its start.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew she would inevitably cross paths with Regal City\u2019s elite families after returning to the Judsons, so she\u2019d had Nightveil investigate all of them, especially the top\u2013tier ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Palmer family has a clean history, built on legitimate businesses and the sharp, long\u2013term vision of each successive leader. They managed to ride the wave of several major market shifts, accumulating their power step by step.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Schwartz family has a background in medical research and development, v government backing that gives them a stable foundation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Dillon family caught the biggest wave of the internet boom, but they\u2019ve started to show signs of decline recently because they failed to capture the lower\u2013tier market, losing share to competitors.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd as for your family, the Lincolns\u2026\u201d Larissa paused, her eyes locking with Helena\u2019s in a meaningful stare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
