Chapter 361\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Helena could no longer contain her frustration. \u201cKiernan,\u201d she began, her voice sharp, \u201cyour granddaughter Larissa came to my home two days ago and assaulted my son! Your daughter\u2013in\u2013law, Vivica, swore to me that Larissa would apologize, but judging by the situation, it seems they have neither the ability nor the intention to make that happen. As the head of the Judson family, don\u2019t you think you owe the Lincolns an explanation?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kiernan simply shook his head. \u201cAs of today, I have decided to entrust the management of the Judson family to my granddaughter, Larissa. So, if the Lincoln family insists on pursuing this, you\u2019ll have to take it up with her. The matter is out of my hands.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The words jolted Paxton from his pain\u2013induced haze. So, Kiernan was truly leaving him with no way out. If that was the case, he had no reason to hold back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Helena was stunned for a moment before a contemptuous smile spread across her face. \u201cAre you really trusting the entire Judson family to a girl who\u2019s barely out of her teens? Aren\u2019t you afraid she\u2019ll offend everyone in sight and run the family into the ground?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Facing Helena\u2019s mockery, Kiernan coughed twice before responding calmly, \u201cShe\u2019ll still do a better job than a dying old man like me, not to mention my second son, who is more trouble than he\u2019s worth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for his eldest, Neville, it was clear he was content with his own little corner of the world. He would never agree to take over the family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing Kiernan was serious, Paxton glared at Larissa, his fists clenched. His voice, though weak, was laced with venom. \u201cDad, it seems Vivica was right. You\u2019ve either been possessed or hexed by Larissa. I think it\u2019s time we had someone take a look at you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kiernan\u2019s brow furrowed in anger. \u201cPossessed? Hexed? What nonsense is this!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paxton\u2019s face was grim. \u201cWe\u2019ll know for sure after an examination! Luckily, I was prepared for this. I had Vivica make the necessary arrangements. Otherwise, you would truly destroy the Judson legacy, Dad!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He could tolerate a broken finger, but he would never tolerate the entire family fortune falling into Larissa\u2019s hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre they here?\u201d Paxton asked Vivica.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She nodded. \u201cThey\u2019ve arrived.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet them in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica immediately pulled a walkie\u2013talkie from her pocket. \u201cEveryone, come in!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moments later, a flood of bodyguards stormed into the villa, surrounding the living room and blocking every exit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was Vivica\u2019s contingency plan. Fearing that things might go sideways, she had borrowed thirty guards from her own family, stationing them outside the estate. Combined with the villa\u2019s existing security, she now had forty men at her command.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It turned out to be a necessary precaution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 361\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa glanced outside, estimating the total number of guards to be closer to fifty it seemed Part and Vivica had come fully prepared for their little coup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTie up everyone except for these four,\u201d Vivica commanded, pointing to Helena, Lucius, Jagger, and\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josette.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Helena smirked inwardly. It seemed Paxton\u2019s family wasn\u2019t completely useless after all, at least they\u00a0<\/p>\n
had a backup plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger, too, breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was about to lose the chance to get an apology from Larissa!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kiernan\u2019s face was ashen with rage. \u201cWhat do you think you\u2019re doing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, I know you\u2019re not in your right mind,\u201d Paxton said coldly. \u201cI can\u2019t let you wake up one day and regret handing the family over to the very person who will destroy it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then gave a sharp order to the guards. \u201cWhat are you waiting for? Tie them up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sir.\u201d The bodyguards split up and moved to restrain everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they approached Avril and her three friends, one of them cried out, \u201cWhat do you want with us?\u201d Paxton, wincing in pain, warned them, \u201cThis is Judson family business. You shouldn\u2019t have gotten involved. Now, you\u2019ll just have to wait here quietly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
