Chapter 319\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll have someone investigate immediately,\u201d Crispin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides Thatch and Valeria, no one else would want to save him,\u201d Haskell mused. \u201cBut they\u2019re in no position to help anyone right now. This means whoever took Draven has other motives.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had planned to move Draven to his private island until Crispin could confirm whether he was truly his biological brother. But now, it seemed someone was planning to use Draven against him. The most likely culprits were his relatives within the Palmer family. All he had to do was wait for them to make their move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstood. I\u2019ll focus the investigation on Solomon and Fraser Palmer,\u201d Crispin confirmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell went to his office first. After dealing with the problems left behind from the month Draven had been in charge, he checked the time. It was already noon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He called Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, what are you up to?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust left the auction. Did you finish dealing with Draven?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot yet. I\u2019ll tell you when I see you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright. Where are you? I\u2019ll come to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the office.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After hanging up, a faint smile touched Haskell\u2019s lips. The daily treatments had become the part of his day he looked forward to the most.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Honey, I got this number just for you.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
After sending the message, Avril handed the phone back to Larissa with a mischievous grin. \u201cWas that Haskell on the phone? I won\u2019t interrupt your lunch date\u2013he\u2019d kill me. I\u2019ll just wait for Torrin to fall into my trap.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa raised an eyebrow. \u201cSo you\u2019re diverting the disaster onto yourself?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril waved a hand dismissively. \u201cOh, it\u2019s fine. I don\u2019t have much going on. I\u2019ll keep him occupied for you. It\u2019ll be something to do!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Avril\u2019s own phone vibrated. She glanced at it and broke into a wide grin. \u201cHe took the bait!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa couldn\u2019t have been more pleased. \u201cGreat. He\u2019s all yours, then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLeave it to me!\u201d Avril declared, patting her chest. \u201cI promise Torrin will never bother you again!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After dropping Avril off, Larissa drove to the Palmer Group headquarters. She parked by the curb and called Haskell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
08:51\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 319\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaskell, I\u2019m here. Where are we going for lunch?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve already ordered food. We can eat in my office. Wait downstairs; I\u2019ll send Crispin to get you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSounds good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hanging up, Larissa grabbed the medical kit she kept in her car and walked into the lobby of the Palmer Group tower, taking a seat on a sofa in the waiting area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two minutes later, Crispin approached her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Judson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCrispin.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Palmer is waiting for you upstairs.\u201d Crispin led her to the private executive elevator. \u201cThis is the access card for this elevator. From now on, you can use it to come directly upstairs whenever you\u00a0<\/p>\n
visit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you,\u201d Larissa said, accepting the card.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The elevator ascended silently to the top floor. Crispin led her to the CEO\u2019s office, knocked, and spoke into the intercom. \u201cMr. Palmer, Ms. Judson is here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The door clicked open instantly. Crispin pushed it open. \u201cPlease, Ms. Judson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
