Chapter 315\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril\u2019s eyes were wide as she looked at Larissa hopefully. \u201cLarissa, are we going to save her?\u201d Based on what she knew of Larissa, she wouldn\u2019t let this go, especially when it was such a perfect opportunity to get back at Garrick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shook her head. \u201cI\u2019m not going to save her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d The answer surprised Avril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A small smile played on Larissa\u2019s lips. \u201cBecause I don\u2019t have to do it myself,\u201d she explained calmly. \u201cI can get Finley to do it for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril was even more astonished. \u201cFinley? He hates you. Why would he ever listen to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll see,\u201d Larissa replied, her expression confident and assured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, Avril was truly intrigued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Backstage at the auction house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Mr. Lawson revealed that the poison expert was his own sister, Finley felt as if he had misheard. He stood frozen. \u201cMr. Lawson, what did you just say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora\u2019s face, hidden behind her mask, turned grim. \u201cThat\u2019s not a funny joke, Mr. Lawson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho\u2019s joking?\u201d Mr. Lawson sighed. \u201cLarissa is the poison expert I told you about. Her medical skills are incredible, but her mastery of poisons is unparalleled. And only she can cure them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The confirmation hit Honora like a physical blow. She felt dizzy. After everything, her life was once again in Larissa\u2019s hands. It was an impossible pill to swallow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley first muttered in disbelief, \u201cHow can it be Larissa?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, his shock turned to anger. \u201cMr. Lawson, if you knew it was her, why didn\u2019t you tell me sooner? Why did you keep me in suspense for so long?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, terror set in. If Larissa was the expert, what would happen to the poison inside him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing the accusation in Finley\u2019s tone, Mr. Lawson\u2019s pleasant demeanor vanished. \u201cAnd why, exactly, would I be obligated to tell you the expert\u2019s identity? Are you blaming me now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me be frank,\u201d he continued, his voice sharp. \u201cMs. Judson specifically asked me not to tell you. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being blind and offending her. If your family had just accepted her from the beginning, imagine how well off you\u2019d all be right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Lawson\u2019s words crushed Finley. His last hope was gone. The terror of his impending fate was now overshadowed by a wave of suffocating regret.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Lawson was right. If his parents had accepted Larissa, if he had accepted his own sister, none of this would have happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Finley\u2019s despair, Mr. Lawson offered a piece of advice. \u201cMr. Judson, if you want to live, I suggest you figure out a way to appease Ms. Judson. Forgiveness is probably off the table, but she\u00a0<\/p>\n

might be willing to spare you and provide the antidote.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then shot a meaningful glance at the masked Honora, \u201cAs for your adopted sister\u2026 she\u2019ll have to pray for her own luck.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora nearly screamed in frustration. She wanted to lash out, to curse him, but she restrained herself. She couldn\u2019t afford to ruin her image.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There had to be another way to cure the poison and restore her face. There had to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After leaving Mr. Lawson\u2019s office, Finley said distractedly, \u201cHonora, you should go home. I have something to take care of.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora didn\u2019t ask what it was. She already knew. Mr. Lawson\u2019s words had hit their mark. He was going to beg Larissa for help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though she knew his intentions, she could only play the part of the understanding sister. \u201cOkay, Finley. Don\u2019t worry too much about the cure. I\u2019ll look for a solution too. There must be other options besides begging Larissa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
