Chapter 337\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, Larissa said she can wake Leopold up,\u201d Finley argued, trying to reason with him. \u201cIf we move against Sapphira now and anger her, Leopold might never wake up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paxton sneered. \u201cShe can wake him up? Even better. Once we have Sapphira, do you think Larissa will dare to disobey us? We can make her do whatever we want. Your poison, Leopold\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
coma\u2013everything will be solved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley knew his father\u2019s stubborn nature. He couldn\u2019t be stopped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Defeated, Finley fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paxton looked at the son he had placed all his hopes in with disappointment. \u201cThe prosthetic specialist I found for you has arrived. You\u2019re handing over Starlight Media to Larissa next month anyway, so take the next few days off and stay home to get fitted for the new prosthesis.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley hesitated. \u201cDad, my leg is lame, but I can still walk. Getting a prosthesis means amputation\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will not have my son, the future heir of the Judson family, be a cripple!\u201d Paxton interrupted again. \u201cYou\u2019ve endured Larissa\u2019s poison for this long. So you can endure the pain of this procedure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley said nothing more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUse the next few days to reflect on how you let a little girl get the best of you,\u201d Paxton said dismissively. He walked toward his study, pulling out his phone and dialing the number of their\u00a0<\/p>\n
former steward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGareth, I have a job for you. If you do it well, I\u2019ll let you come back to work for me at the Judson family\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the living room, Finley stood for a long moment before turning and leaving the West Villa. He would try one last time. If Larissa would agree to cure him and wake Leopold up immediately, perhaps his father would calm down and abandon his plan to go after Sapphira.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside the villa, he pulled out his phone and called Larissa. He waited anxiously, breathing a sigh of relief when she finally answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it?\u201d she replied coldly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her detached tone made Finley\u2019s heart sink, but he pushed on. \u201cLarissa, you said you could wake. Leopold up. Can you please go to the hospital right now and do it? If you wake him up, I\u2019ll agree to any condition you have.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa laughed mockingly. \u201cFinley, you\u2019ve already lost your inheritance. What conditions could you possibly offer me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her question was a dagger to Finley\u2019s heart, leaving him speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a moment, he gritted his teeth. \u201cLarissa, I\u2019m doing this for your own good. You should cure me and wake Leopold up immediately. Otherwise\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOtherwise what?\u201d she cut him off with a scoff. \u201cOtherwise, things will end badly for me? After all this\u00a0<\/p>\n

time, threats are still all you know?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley, let me tell you something. I\u2019ll wake Leopold up when I feel like it, not when you order me to. If that\u2019s all you have to say, I\u2019m hanging up. I thought you might actually have something new to say for a change.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, why can\u2019t you just listen for once! I\u2019m begging you! This time, I\u2019m really trying to help you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, so all your previous apologies and attempts to make amends weren\u2019t sincere?\u201d Larissa laughed again. \u201cForget it, Finley. I\u2019m not interested in you trying to be good to me now. It\u2019s too late.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
