Chapter 348\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd don\u2019t even think about running to your grandfather, he added. \u201cIf you tell him about this, don\u2019t blame me for what happens to your mother. If you think you\u2019re brave enough to call my bluff, go ahead. We\u2019ll see who ends up suffering.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Larissa could respond, he hung up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wren, having overheard the conversation, was aghast. \u201cHe\u2019s lost his mind! How could he dare to harm Madam?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa set her phone down on the table with a wry smile. \u201cHe\u2019s a cornered dog. He knows he\u2019s about to lose everything, so he\u2019s willing to risk it all on one last gamble.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wren\u2019s face was still pale. \u201cWhat do we do now, miss? I saw your parents didn\u2019t come home last night, but I just assumed they were out enjoying themselves. I never imagined something like this could happen\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, Wren,\u201d Larissa reassured her. \u201cMy mother is fine. My father is with her. They\u2019ll be back. soon,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her calm demeanor, Wren\u2019s frantic heart finally settled. \u201cOh, thank goodness.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After breakfast, Larissa received a text from Haskell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Larissa, I\u2019m on my way.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
She typed back a reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Perfect timing. Paxton just called to threaten me. I played along for a bit, and he\u2019s so smug right now. I can\u2019t wait to see his face when he realizes he\u2019s been played.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
His response was two simple words: [Helpless fury.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa\u2019s eyes lingered on the message. \u201cHelpless fury.\u201d That was exactly right. Today, Paxton would learn the true meaning of frustration. He was about to experience a rage so profound and so powerless it would break him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora stood up as Finley entered the room. \u201cFinley? What are you doing here so early?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley glanced at Leopold\u2019s still form on the bed. \u201cI\u2019m taking him home today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cToday?\u201d Honora was stunned. \u201cBut he hasn\u2019t woken up yet. Why the sudden change?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa said she can wake him,\u201d Finley explained. \u201cDad found a way to make her cooperate. She\u2019s going to cure me and wake Leopold. That means you won\u2019t have to leave the Judson family either. You\u2019ll be coming back with us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the bed, Leopold, who had been conscious the whole time, felt a surge of elation. He was finally going to wake up! At last, he could expose Honora for who she truly was!\u00a0<\/p>\n
*Really? That\u2019s wonderful!\u201d Honora exclaimed, grabbing Finley\u2019s arm. Then she noticed the bruise on\u00a0<\/p>\n

his forehead. \u201cFinley, what happened to your head?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing the genuine concern in her eyes, Finley\u2019s heart softened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
and\u00a0<\/p>\n
it was a look he had never seen from Larissa. This was the difference. He had admitted his mistakes and offered to make amends, but Larissa had given him no chance. Last night, as he lay in agony, she had simply walked away, leaving him for dead. Her coldness had chilled him to the bone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He remembered her words\u2013that he would regret giving Honora his chance at a cure. He didn\u2019t understand. Why would he regret it? Even if he suffered, he would never regret giving Honora her beauty back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
