Chapter 333\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa understood immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going to kidnap his sister, Faith Palmer?\u201d She asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d Haskell confirmed. \u201cIf Solomon can kidnap Draven to threaten me, then I can kidnap Faith to threaten him. I might not save Draven, but Solomon would never abandon his sister, Faith.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The old Haskell might have hesitated to make such a move. But after Draven\u2019s betrayal, he had learned a hard lesson: mercy toward your enemies is cruelty to yourself, regardless of whether that enemy is a stranger or family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a good plan,\u201d Larissa said. \u201cBut I heard from Avril that for most of the Palmer family, profit comes before kinship. What if Solomon doesn\u2019t care about Faith\u2019s life?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell chuckled softly. \u201cThe others might prioritize their own interests, but they aren\u2019t so cold\u2013blooded as to ignore a family member\u2019s life. They might sacrifice someone\u2019s interests, but not their life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crispin, understanding the plan, immediately said, \u201cMr. Palmer, I\u2019ll get on it right away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood,\u201d Haskell nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Crispin left, Haskell turned his attention back to Larissa. \u201cWhat about you? What\u2019s the situation with Finley? Did you give him the antidote?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Larissa said. \u201cOn a whim, I made him choose between curing himself or curing Honora.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell caught the flicker of emotion in her eyes. \u201cHe chose Honora?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shrugged. \u201cHe did. He gave his only chance to her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She paused, her voice tinged with an old bitterness. \u201cAt this point, I thought I was done with them, that I had no hope or feelings left for that family. But you know what? When Finley made his choice, no matter his reasons, I admit I was still so angry. I still hated them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Honora came to me for the cure, she was so smug, asking if I was angry. I didn\u2019t answer her, because deep down, I really was.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaskell, I told you to be ruthless with Draven, but it seems I haven\u2019t completely followed my own advice. I can\u2019t believe Finley\u2019s choice still got to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell listened quietly. He moved his wheelchair closer to her and gently cupped her face, his expression serious and incredibly tender. \u201cLarissa, if you didn\u2019t feel anything, you wouldn\u2019t be you. On the surface, you seem decisive and ruthless, but your heart is softer than most people\u2019s. That\u2019s why you agreed to work with me that day, isn\u2019t it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking back, Larissa smiled. \u201cYou\u2019re right. When I saw you, you had lost the use of your legs and Honora had just broken off your engagement. But despite all that, you weren\u2019t lost or bitter. That\u2019s why I agreed to your proposal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s eyes filled with admiration. \u201cSo, it\u2019s only natural that you\u2019d be angry about Finley\u2019s choice. But the fact that you can push past those feelings and still make a rational counterattack\u2013that\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
09:17 3\u00a0<\/p>\n
what makes you so formidable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larose looked at him, realy looked at him. She realized that when Haskell spoke to others, his voice, though gentle, was cool and distant. But with her, it was always warm and sincere. She could feel he unwavering devotion, which made her understand Honora\u2019s taunts even more clearly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She smiled again. \u201cI\u2019m tired of playing games with Honora and her family. I think it\u2019s time to wake Leopold up, expose Honora\u2019s true colors to the whole family, and put an end to all of this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
