Chapter 396\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d Torrin cut her off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s how I got into this mess in the first place\u2013trying to make Larissa jealous with other women. I\u2019m not making that mistake again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not telling you to use her to provoke Larissa,\u201d Sharon clarified. \u201cI\u2019m telling you to actually try dating someone else. Maybe then you\u2019ll figure out you\u2019re not so fixated on Larissa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Annoyed, Torrin closed his eyes and refused to say another word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharon sighed, giving up on her stubborn brother for the time being.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril had just gotten into her car when her phone rang. It was Haskell. She answered immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAvril, what happened?\u201d Haskell\u2019s calm voice came through the line. \u201cI just saw your message. I was about to have a friend nearby head over\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fine now,\u201d Avril said, quickly recounting the events at the bar. Afraid he might be upset, she hastily added, \u201cAnd don\u2019t worry, Haskell, I didn\u2019t tell Larissa about Torrin fighting for her!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would have been fine if you had,\u201d Haskell replied softly. \u201cI\u2019m just sorry you got dragged into this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be. I did it willingly,\u201d Avril insisted. \u201cBut Haskell, if we don\u2019t deal with Jagger, he\u2019s going to be a constant threat to Larissa\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know. Leave Jagger to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril hung up, a wave of relief washing over her. With Haskell on the case, it was settled. Jagger was finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The following afternoon, Larissa was driving back into Regal City. She had intended to go straight to Palmer Group for Haskell\u2019s treatment, but a call from her mother changed her plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, when you get back to the city, go home first. Your grandfather has something important to discuss with you. I suspect it\u2019s about the company shares.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa turned the wheel, changing course for the Judson estate. She parked in the garage and walked through the courtyard toward Kiernan\u2019s residence in the rear of the property.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jett was waiting for her at the door. \u201cMiss,\u201d he said with a smile. \u201cThe master is waiting for you in his study.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d Larissa followed him to the study and pushed open the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside, her grandfather was seated behind his desk, accompanied by a middle\u2013aged lawyer in a sharp suit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 396\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, you\u2019re here,\u201d Kiernan said, his face breaking into a warm smile. He gestured for her to sit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe lawyer has drawn up the share transfer agreement. All you need to do is sign, and it will be official.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pushed a file across the desk toward her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa reviewed the document carefully. Seeing no issues, she signed her name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the legal matters were concluded, Kiernan asked, \u201cWas what happened to Jagger your doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Larissa looked at him, confused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her reaction, Kiernan realized she hadn\u2019t seen the news. \u201cCheck the top stories on Twitter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
