Chapter 407\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold\u2019s knuckles turned white as he gripped his phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether it does us any good is none of your business!\u201d he yelled. \u201cLet Finley go, or I\u2019m calling the police!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice was a raw threat, but Garrick was unfazed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo ahead, call them,\u201d he taunted. \u201cLet\u2019s see what happens first: the police arresting me, or me breaking Finley\u2019s other leg.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he hung up, leaving Leopold listening to the dial tone, his heart pounding with a mixture of fury and fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He put his phone away and hailed a ride\u2013sharing service on his phone, deciding to go back to the Caldwell estate and figure out a plan with his parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But as if one disaster wasn\u2019t enough, when Leopold arrived in a panic, he was greeted by another chaotic scene. Honora was being escorted into a black seven\u2013seater van parked at the gate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold\u2019s heart seized. He jumped out of the car and sprinted toward them, shouting, \u201cWhere are you taking Honora?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The men ignored him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he could reach the van, someone grabbed his arm. He turned to see his mother, Vivica Caldwell, and his cousin, Chester Caldwell, standing beside him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chester released him, shooting him a dismissive glance. \u201cWhat are you yelling about, Leopold? These are Mr. Lincoln\u2019s men. Are you trying to stop them?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Lincoln?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lincoln family hated Larissa with a vengeance. Taking Honora now could only mean one thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold turned to his mother. \u201cMom, you can\u2019t let them take her! The Lincolns are obviously up to no good. They\u2019re going to use that vicious woman to hurt Larissa! How could you let this happen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica looked helpless. \u201cLeopold, I couldn\u2019t do anything. Your cousin is right. We can\u2019t afford to offend the Lincoln family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold tried to push past them to pull Honora from the van, but Vivica held him back. \u201cLeopold, please, just listen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the van, a man\u2019s suit jacket was draped over Honora\u2019s shoulders. She glared out at Leopold, her eyes no longer soft and vulnerable but filled with burning resentment. \u201cLeopold, I will never forget what your family has done to me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 407\u00a0<\/p>\n
He clenched his fists. \u201cYou deserved it, Honora! You deceived us from the very beginning!\u201d \u201cI deserved it?\u201d She let out a wild laugh, tears streaming from her eyes. \u201cLarissa is your precious daughter and sister, but you never cared about her, so I just went along with it! I stole twenty years of a good life from her, so yes, maybe I deserve this. But you deserve it more! Hated by your own flesh and blood, stripped of everything by her revenge\u2026 you\u2019re the pathetic ones!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A bodyguard slammed the van door shut, and the vehicle sped away, leaving them in a cloud of dust.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the van was gone, Chester turned to Leopold, his face etched with impatience. \u201cAunt Vivica, you and Uncle Paxton should probably find somewhere else to stay. You\u2019re not planning on living with us forever, are you? If you\u2019re not embarrassed about being kicked out of your own home, we certainly are.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cChester, how can you say that?\u201d Vivica protested. \u201cThis is my family home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s your family home, Aunt Vivica. Coming back for holidays is one thing,\u201d he retorted. \u201cBut you\u2019ve been thrown out by Kiernan. You have nowhere to live. You can\u2019t just move in permanently. Even if my dad agreed, my mom and I won\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
