Chapter 351\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa walked over to Haskell\u2019s side and looked at Leopold. She knew he was conscious, able to hear everything around him. She wondered just how many secrets he had overheard during his time\u00a0<\/p>\n
in a coma.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned her attention back to Finley. \u201cTheir way of waking him up is me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice dripped with sarcasm. \u201cFinley, you keep calling me heartless, but compared to your family, I\u2019m an amateur.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley flinched. He assumed his father had already threatened her with Sapphira, and she had called Haskell for backup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He felt a pang of guilt but forced a stern expression. \u201cYou brought this on yourself. Now that Leopold is back, you\u2019re coming with us to the west wing to wake him up.\u201d He paused, then added, \u201cAnd you\u2019ll cure me and Honora.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Behind her sunglasses, Honora\u2019s eyes gleamed with triumph. Once she was cured, Larissa\u2019s days were numbered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa sighed, feigning reluctant obedience. \u201cFine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her compliance, Finley felt a rare sense of relief. \u201cIf you had just been this cooperative from the start, we wouldn\u2019t be in this mess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHeh,\u201d Larissa chuckled dryly. \u201cHave you forgotten that if I had been \u2018cooperative\u2018 from the start, I would be the one who\u2019s disfigured?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The words sent Finley back to their first meeting, and he was momentarily speechless. \u201cThat\u2019s in the past. Just wake Leopold and cure me and Honora. We can start over as a family, without all this resentment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no going back,\u201d Larissa sneered. \u201cEnough with the pleasantries. Do you want Leopold awake or not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley fell silent, another wave of frustration washing over him. It was clear she had no intention of making peace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora, disappointed that Haskell hadn\u2019t even acknowledged her, spoke up. \u201cHaskell, how have your legs been?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell looked up, a polite smile on his face. \u201cThey\u2019re getting better. And your face?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A flicker of hope ignited within her. \u201cYou heard,\u201d she said, trying to sound cheerful. \u201cAs soon as Larissa cures me, my face will be fine. You don\u2019t have to worry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t worried,\u201d Haskell said flatly. \u201cI was just being polite.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa stifled a laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora\u2019s face burned with humiliation, but she forced herself to remain calm. \u201cIt\u2019s okay,\u201d she told herself. \u201cLarissa\u2019s finished soon. I can endure this for one more day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley patted her shoulder. \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d He instructed the bodyguards to carry Leopold toward the west\u00a0<\/p>\n

wing villa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, a cheerful voice called out. \u201cHaskell! Larissa! I\u2019m here!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa looked toward the gate, where Avril\u2019s car was stopped. Avril was leaning out of the driver\u2019s window, waving enthusiastically.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet her in,\u201d Larissa told the guards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The gate opened again, and Avril drove through. Another car followed closely behind her. Finley recognized it as his aunt Josette\u2019s. Both cars parked in the garage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril hopped out, followed by three of her friends. They were all from prominent Regal City families, but since they weren\u2019t close with the Judsons or Haskell, they hadn\u2019t been invited to Larissa\u2019s welcome banquet or engagement party. All they knew of the drama came from online gossip. When Avril had invited them to the Judson estate for some \u201centertainment,\u201d they had eagerly accepted the chance to see the legendary real heiress and the city\u2019s most famous prodigy up close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
