Chapter 394\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharon walked closer, glancing down at her idiot brother pinned beneath Lucius\u2019s foot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must be joking, Mr. Lincoln. I don\u2019t need to beg you for anything. I\u2019ll ask you once. Are you going to let him go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger, both annoyed and confused, interjected, \u201cDidn\u2019t the Dillons kick him out to deliver food? Why do you still care what happens to him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow I manage my idiot brother is my family\u2019s business,\u201d Sharon replied coolly, her gaze fixed on Lucius. \u201cJust as you, Mr. Lincoln, have to clean up the messes of your useless uncle, even though you know he\u2019s nothing but trouble.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger\u2019s face flushed with anger. What was wrong with the younger generation in Regal City? They had no respect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lincoln,\u201d Sharon said, her voice dropping a fraction, \u201cmove your foot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius stared at her for a long moment, gauging her resolve. Seeing she was serious, he slowly lifted his foot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lincolns were planning to use Haskell\u2019s injury as an opportunity to crush the Palmers. Though the Dillons were not their equals, antagonizing them now would be a strategic mistake, trapping them in a two\u2013front war.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he was free, Torrin scrambled to his feet and lunged at Lucius. Before his fist could connect, Sharon drove her own into his stomach, doubling him over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHad enough fun?\u201d she asked icily. She pulled a handkerchief from her pocket, balled it up, and shoved it into Torrin\u2019s open mouth as he gasped for air. \u201cTake him away,\u201d she ordered her bodyguards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMmph! Mmph!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin was unceremoniously hauled away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger watched, aghast, as his nephew did nothing to stop them. \u201cLucius, are you just going to let them walk all over us like that? Look at my face!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius\u2019s brow was still furrowed in irritation. \u201cUncle, if you don\u2019t want people to look down on you, then start acting respectable. If you can\u2019t even win a simple fight, you deserve to be beaten. I don\u2019t have time to clean up your messes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he and his bodyguards left the bar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jagger, left alone, spun on the remaining onlookers. \u201cWhat are you all staring at? Get out!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The crowd scattered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you, you little Palmer brat, you just wait!\u201d Jagger snarled at Avril before hurrying after Lucius.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAvril, we\u2019re leaving too,\u201d her three friends said, still shaken from the ordeal. Now that the spectacle was over, they just wanted to go home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 394\u00a0<\/p>\n
The gossipers who had mocked her earlier now looked at her with smug satisfaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSee, Avril? This is what you get for associating with Larissa. You almost got dragged into it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe warned you. Crossing the Lincolns is serious business. Anyone close to Larissa is going to get hurt. You should distance yourself from her while you still can.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, do you really think Larissa can take on the Lincoln family? Why don\u2019t you tell her how Jagger almost beat you up tonight and see if she dares to get revenge for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril, who had just begun to relax, felt her temper flare. \u201cDon\u2019t you dare underestimate her. Just you wait and see. In the end, it\u2019ll be Larissa who brings down the entire Lincoln family!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHa! Keep dreaming.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAvril, I used to think you were smart, always staying neutral in the Palmer family power struggles. But you\u2019ve lost your mind lately. First, you side with the cripple Haskell, and now you\u2019re backing Larissa. You\u2019ve bet on two losing hands.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLosing hands?\u201d Avril laughed. \u201cI\u2019m holding a royal<\/p>\n
