Chapter 325\u00a0<\/p>\n
Solomon stepped forward with a cold smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho were you expecting? Your big brother Haskell? After what you did to him, you actually expected him to come and save you?\u201d He chuckled. \u201cThough, I have to admit, my men said Haskell did send someone for you. They were just a step too slow. It seems that even after you tried to take his life, he still cares about his dear little brother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere am I?\u201d Draven croaked, looking around the damp cell. Rats and cockroaches scurried in the shadows, and water dripped from the ceiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAfrica,\u201d Solomon said simply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven\u2019s eyes widened. \u201cWhat did you bring me here for?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo use you against Haskell, of course, you useless piece of trash,\u201d Solomon sneered. \u201cI\u2019m going to use the same trick you and Valeria tried on him. Since he still cares about you, he\u2019ll definitely come to the rescue. I can\u2019t touch him back home, but here, I am the boss. If he dares to set foot here for you, I guarantee he\u2019ll die without a grave to return to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven scoffed. \u201cYou want to move against Haskell here? Aren\u2019t you afraid our grandfather will suspect you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Solomon\u2019s family business was based in Africa; if something happened to Haskell there, they would be the first suspects.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Solomon laughed coldly. \u201cAnd what if he does? If Haskell dies, do you really think he, as angry as he might be, would kill another one of his own grandsons? Maybe if it were you or that idiot Garrick, but not me. Never me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Solomon was utterly confident in his standing with Zoltan. If it weren\u2019t for Haskell, he would have been the undisputed heir to the Palmer family. Even Fraser couldn\u2019t compare. If it weren\u2019t for Haskell, he and his father wouldn\u2019t be stuck managing the family\u2019s assets overseas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWatch this waste of space. Don\u2019t let him escape,\u201d Solomon ordered his men. \u201cNext month, leak the news to Haskell that Draven\u2019s been kidnapped in Africa. Tell him if he doesn\u2019t want his brother to die in a foreign land, he has to come rescue him in person.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of his men asked cautiously, \u201cShould we specify that he must come alone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Solomon sneered. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter. It makes no difference how many men he brings.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because here in this foreign land far away from home, he was untouchable. Haskell was just an ant he could crush at will.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sir.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next morning, as Larissa ate breakfast, she saw a new transfer notification on her account. The medicinal herbs she\u2019d entrusted to Mr. Lawson had been sold at auction for a high price. A nice\u00a0<\/p>\n

profit!\u00a0<\/p>\n
But her good mood was interrupted by a message from Avril, filled with screenshots of her conversation with Torrin. As usual, Torrin was spouting his typical arrogant and idiotic nonsense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Larissa, my dad making me a delivery boy might look like he\u2019s trying to get me to give up on you, but actually, he\u2019s grooming me. He wants me to learn from the ground up so I can take over the Dillon family business.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[If you get with me now, it\u2019s like a high\u2013potential investment! I\u2019m worth way more than that cripple Haskell!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Once I inherit everything, the Dillon family will surpass the Palmers as the top family in Regal City. And you, as my woman, will be the First Lady of Regal City!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Exciting to think about, isn\u2019t it?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[You and Haskell are just engaged. As long as you\u2019re not married, you still have a chance to change your mind! The door to the Dillon family will always be open for you!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Avril\u2019s replies were just as direct:\u00a0<\/p>\n
[I don\u2019t believe it! I heard your older sister Sharon is way more competent than you. Your dad would have to be an idiot to hand the business to you. That\u2019s like throwing money down a drain!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[What are you comparing your value to Haskell\u2019s with? Your thick skin? Your garbage can brain?] [First Lady of Regal City? More like the First Joke of Regal City!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
