Chapter 457\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course he is. He\u2019d spend a fortune just to make her smile.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t think Livia is right for the part. She\u2019s better at playing spoiled rich girls. Ysabel is supposed to be tough and resilient.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut who else is there? Among the popular young actresses right now, Livia is probably the best fit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, whether she\u2019s the best fit or not, Gale Entertainment is definitely getting the rights to this book. Mr. Lincoln came here in person. It\u2019s a done deal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold shoved his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on Lucius as he entered the conference hall. He knew Lucius had been trying to sabotage Starlight Media, and today\u2019s bid for \u201cHeaven\u2019s Will\u201d was part of that plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Lucius was in for a rude awakening. His sister, Larissa, was about to secure the rights for Starlight Media. After all, Larissa was Field of Lari.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Twenty\u2013five entertainment companies were competing for the rights. Sixteen were from Regal City, and the other nine had traveled from out of town. Their representatives were all seated in their designated spots.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The team from Gale Entertainment included Damon, the company\u2019s chairman, his secretary, and Magnus, the manager who had recently defected from Starlight Media. Damon had brought Magnus along specifically to gloat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Magnus leaned over and whispered to Damon, \u201cLarissa\u2019s not here. Starlight sent Ursa, Finley\u2019s old assistant, and some new actress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon turned to Lucius, his voice full of sycophantic praise. \u201cYou see, Mr. Lincoln? Larissa is just a paper tiger. She didn\u2019t even dare to show up today. The rights to \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018 are as good as ours.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius, seeing that Larissa was a no\u2013show, allowed himself a smug smile. So, the woman who had been so defiant on the phone last night had lost her nerve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems she is nothing to worry about after all,\u201d he said coolly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon continued to fawn over him. \u201cOf course not, Mr. Lincoln. Who in Regal City would dare to oppose you? Even Haskell, the so\u2013called golden boy, has to think twice now that he\u2019s a cripple who can\u2019t even walk on his own.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius savored the praise. The feeling of finally having Haskell under his heel was intoxicating. Soon, no one would dare to call him the eternal second\u2013best again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
:\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the underground parking garage of Paddy\u2019s Home, Larissa and Haskell got out of the car. \u201cHaskell, you go on ahead to the conference hall,\u201d she said. \u201cI need to go upstairs and get the documents that prove I\u2019m Field of Lari.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve booked the Blessing Suite on the second floor. I\u2019ll wait for you\u00a0<\/p>\n
you there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 457\u00a0<\/p>\n
After watching Crispin push Haskell into the elevator, Larissa took another one up to the fifth\u2013floor\u00a0<\/p>\n
office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The manager of Paddy\u2019s Home was waiting for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBoss,\u201d he said, pulling a file from a cabinet, \u201chere are the documents you asked Nightveil to retrieve from the organization\u2019s files, proving your identity as Field of Lari.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa took the file and sat down on the sofa to examine its contents. Inside were the original manuscript of \u201cHeaven\u2019s Will\u201d and the contract she had signed with the publisher.\u00a0<\/p>\n
