Chapter 376\u00a0<\/p>\n
He knew it\u2026 he had brought all of this upon himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And he knew that no matter what he said now, Larissa would never believe him. She would never forgive him. He couldn\u2019t even dare to hope that she would one day acknowledge him as her brother again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All he could do was dedicate the rest of his life to making it up to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With this newfound resolve, Leopold turned his gaze to Honora, still lying crumpled on the floor. He strode over to her and stomped down hard on her hand, grinding his heel into her knuckles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou evil woman,\u201d he seethed. \u201cI\u2019m not done with you. I will torment you for the rest of your life. I will make you watch how happy my sister becomes while you live in misery! This is what you owe her!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora screamed, but this time, no one came to her aid. The pain, physical and emotional, was too much to bear. She finally succumbed and passed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica looked at Honora\u2019s broken form, then at her husband, her eyes filled with despair. No matter how much they tortured Honora, it wouldn\u2019t change the fact that their lives were in ruins. \u201cPaxton, what do we do now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paxton had seen the true extent of his daughter\u2019s ruthlessness and power. If she said they had to leave, they had to leave. Antagonizing her further would only make it impossible to ever win her forgiveness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe move out first,\u201d Paxton decided. \u201cWe\u2019ll figure out the rest later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As long as they were alive, there was still a chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After leaving the West Villa, Avril and her friends wisely took their leave. Larissa made sure to tell Avril they were free to gossip about the Judson family\u2019s drama as much as they liked. Avril understood perfectly: spread the news of Paxton\u2019s downfall and make his family the laughingstock of high society.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell didn\u2019t leave. He followed Larissa to the East Villa, explaining that he had come for two reasons: to watch the show, and to formally meet her family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as they entered, Gloria smiled warmly at Larissa. \u201cSapphira is so lucky to have a treasure like you for a daughter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ziggy, recalling Larissa\u2019s composure at the West Villa, added, \u201cIndeed. That girl is something special. She has what it takes to achieve great things. I certainly wasn\u2019t that poised at her age.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira stood and, after a nod to Haskell, took Larissa\u2019s hand. \u201cLarissa, these are your maternal grandparents.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa smiled sweetly at them. \u201cGrandpa, Grandma.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, yes, good girl,\u201d Gloria beamed. \u201cEvery time Sapphira calls, she can\u2019t stop praising you\u2013how strong, independent, and talented you are. She was right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

She then gave her husband a knowing look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ziggy immediately picked up his cue. \u201cLarissa, we saw what happened with the Lincoln family today. Your mother told us the reason. With their influence, they probably won\u2019t let this go. But don\u2019t you worry. The Turner family may not be as powerful as the Lincolns in Regal City, but that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t protect you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gloria looked at Haskell. \u201cBesides, you have the Palmers on your side, don\u2019t you? The Lincolns will have to think twice before they make a move against you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell understood their meaning perfectly. They wanted a public promise from him, in front of the Turner family, that he would protect Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In truth, even without their prompting, he would have done everything in his power to keep her safe. It wasn\u2019t just about their engagement; he was genuinely in love with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
