Chapter 430\u00a0<\/p>\n
Neville, however, wasn\u2019t surprised. \u201cThey were never going to give up and leave us quietly. They\u2019ll try anything to get back in Larissa\u2019s good graces and return.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira had known Larissa long enough to know she wouldn\u2019t fall for it. Her main concer now was Leopold\u2019s more extreme fans causing trouble. Many of them were minors, and she didn\u2019t want 001 to have to resort to heavy\u2013handed tactics.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was going to terminate his contract with Starlight Media and be done with him for good,\u201d Larissa said dismissively. \u201cBut now, I think I\u2019ll just shelve him indefinitely. In today\u2019s entertainment world, fans move on to a new idol every six months. It won\u2019t be long before Leopold fades into obscurity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira nodded. \u201cJust be careful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After breakfast, Larissa got in her car and drove toward the main gate of the estate. Suddenly, a figure darted out from the side of the road, blocking her path.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa slammed on the brakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Leopold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The arrogant young man she had first met was gone, replaced by a disheveled figure with a demoralized look on his face, stubble shadowing his jaw. He was holding a paper bag, his eyes a mixture of anxiety and desperate hope.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, good morning.\u201d His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn\u2019t slept at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In fact, he hadn\u2019t. After taking Finley to the hospital and calling his mother, he had driven straight back to the Judson estate and waited all night, just for a chance to see her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI brought you breakfast\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve already eaten,\u201d Larissa said with a contemptuous laugh. \u201cAnd who would want your cheap breakfast anyway? Is this pathetic gesture what you call \u2018making it up to me\u2018? It\u2019s just as nauseating as that self\u2013pitying post you put on Twitter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His hand holding the bag trembled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, Finley\u2019s poison acted up last night,\u201d Leopold pleaded, his voice cracking. \u201cThe pain was unbearable. I\u2019m afraid he won\u2019t survive another episode, that he\u2019ll\u2026 he\u2019ll kill himself. Please, for the sake of the fact that he\u2019s your brother, can you give him the antidote?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Larissa said without a moment\u2019s hesitation. \u201cI gave him his chance. He chose to give it\u00a0<\/p>\n
to Honora.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNow move. Or did you enjoy our last car accident so much you\u2019re hoping for a repeat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold had expected this answer. He had one last card to play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
09:33\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, you\u2019re right. I did a terrible thing to you. The fact that you didn\u2019t kill me in that crash was a mercy. So if you\u2019re still not satisfied, take it out on me. I\u2019ll take his pain. Poison me, and cure him. Please.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice was a desperate plea. \u201cFinley has suffered enough. He\u2019s already lost the use of one leg. I can\u2019t bear to see him go through that agony again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa narrowed her eyes. \u201cSuch touching brotherly love,\u201d she mocked. \u201cIt almost makes me look like the cold\u2013hearted one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, that\u2019s not it!\u201d Leopold said quickly. \u201cYou\u2019re not cold\u2013hearted, Larissa. We brought all of this on ourselves!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know,\u201d Larissa mused with a cold smile, \u201cyou are worse than Finley. Tampering with someone\u2019s brakes\u2026 a normal person would have been killed. Compared to him, you got off easy. If I hadn\u2019t needed you awake to see Honora for who she really is, I never would have let you recover.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A flicker of hope ignited in Leopold\u2019s eyes. \u201cDoes that mean you\u2019ll\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Larissa cut him off flatly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
