Chapter 399\u00a0<\/p>\n
A dark smile touched Lucius\u2019s lips. \u201cSince we\u2019ve already decided to send Uncle to prison, we might as well make use of his remaining value.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice was devoid of emotion, as if Jagger were a stranger, a disposable asset.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In truth, Lucius was consumed by a single, twisted obsession: proving he was better than Ha\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s excellence in every field was a constant thorn in his side, and the whispers of him being \u2018second\u2013best\u2018 fueled a desperate need to crush his rival.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?\u201d Helena asked, her eyes narrowing as she tried to decipher his plan. \u201cAre you suggesting we use him to hire an assassin?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She shook her head. \u201cDon\u2019t forget, the only person who has ever gotten close enough to harm Haskell was his own brother, Draven, and even he failed. You know Haskell better than anyone. He is not an easy target.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A cold, almost imperceptible smile played on Lucius\u2019s lips. \u201cNot an assassin. We\u2019ll use my uncle\u2019s\u2026 particular talents\u2026 against Larissa. It\u2019s clear Haskell is serious about this woman. Hurting her will hurt him far more than any direct attack ever could.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Helena didn\u2019t press for details. She trusted her grandson\u2019s cunning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe public outcry against our family is growing,\u201d she said, her voice grim. \u201cTonight, I will personally escort your uncle to the police station to make his confession. We must minimize the damage. The rest is in your hands.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Palmer Group, the receptionist recognized Larissa immediately and greeted her with a warm smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Judson.\u201d Her eyes flickered to 001, who stood silently behind Larissa. The bodyguard was an oddity\u2013slim, dressed in black fatigues instead of a suit, with a baseball cap pulled low over the face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa nodded to the receptionist and used the access card Haskell had given her to enter the private elevator to the top floor. As she approached the CEO\u2019s office, the doors slid open automatically.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She instructed 001 to wait outside and stepped into the office, hearing Haskell\u2019s voice from within.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cContinue investigating the Lincoln family\u2019s overseas operations.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sir.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crispin turned as he heard her footsteps, gave her a brief nod, and exited the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou knew I was here,\u201d Larissa said, sinking into the plush sofa as if it were her own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou texted me when you left. I figured you\u2019d be arriving around now, so I kept an eye on the security feed,\u201d Haskell replied, guiding his wheelchair toward her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa leaned back, a lazy smile on her face. \u201cI stopped by the Judson estate first to finalize the share transfer. I also heard the news about Jagger.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

She paused, her smile widening. \u201cHaskell, leaking that information about the Lincolns was a bold move. Are you not afraid of the trouble it might bring? You\u2019re already dealing with your own family members vying for the inheritance. Taking on the Lincolns at the same time might be too much, even for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
