Chapter 308\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right,\u201d Finley said through gritted teeth. \u201cOnce I\u2019m free of the poison you used on me, I\u2019ll no longer be under your\u00a0<\/p>\n
your control!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora froze, the realization dawning on her. \u201cFinley, were you only listening to her because she poisoned you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley nodded grimly. \u201cI didn\u2019t tell you because I didn\u2019t want you to worry, Honora. But now, all I have to do is meet the expert Mr. Lawson mentioned. Once he cures me, I\u2019ll be free from her threats, and the poison in your system can be cured too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shattered his fantasy. \u201cDon\u2019t get your hopes up, Finley. My poisons can only be cured by me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley\u2019s expression faltered, but he quickly recovered. \u201cDon\u2019t overestimate yourself. T always someone better in Regal City. Once I meet the poison expert, you\u2019ll see that you re not the only one with skills!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine, don\u2019t believe me. Good luck with that,\u201d Larissa said, then turned to Avril. \u201cCome on, the\u00a0<\/p>\n
auction is about to start. Let\u2019s go to our suite.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA suite?\u201d Avril exclaimed. \u201cLarissa, I heard that only people with a net worth of over ten billion who have Mr. Lawson\u2019s approval get a private suite here! Even in our family, only Haskell and my grandfather get that privilege! You\u2019re incredible!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing their conversation, Finley felt a pang of jealousy. He had just tried to get a suite but was told by the staff that the last one had already been reserved by Mr. Lawson for someone else. He never imagined it was for Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Lawson had also attended her engagement party last night. How did they know each other? What was their relationship?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Had Larissa poisoned and threatened Mr. Lawson too? How else could she possibly have net worth of over ten billion and command such respect from him? Even if her herbs were valuable, a few rare plants couldn\u2019t make her a billionaire overnight. The most powerful figures in Regal City fought tooth and nail for that kind of wealth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa\u2019s voice cut through his thoughts. \u201cMr. Lawson was at my engagement party, wasn\u2019t he? He knows I\u2019m about to take over Starlight Media and that I\u2019ve acquired a significant number of shares in both Starlight and Judson Pharmaceuticals. Plus, I know Chairman Zendar Schwartz. Once he partners with the Judson family and my father takes over Judson Pharmaceuticals, my net worth will naturally skyrocket.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It finally clicked for Finley. Larissa had obtained a massive amount of their family\u2019s company shares, causing her net worth to soar. And after Kiernan\u2019s announcement last night, everyone present knew he had lost his inheritance rights. With his brother Leopold in a coma, the public now saw Larissa as the sole future heir of the Judson family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 308\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Larissa\u2019s voice drifted over again. \u201cBy the way, Finley, you were just coming from the private suite area, weren\u2019t you? I assume you wanted a suite but got turned away? Did you not qualify?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley knew she was mocking him\u2013mocking the fact that he had no company shares, was about to lose control of Starlight Media, and had been stripped of his inheritance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But it was all true. He could only swallow his humiliation and clench his teeth in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
