Chapter 459\u00a0<\/p>\n
The livestream chat was going wild.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[LOL, Mr. Lincoln\u2019s face! Haskell is totally twisting the knife!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[That\u2019s our golden boy! Who else would dare to troll Mr. Lincoln to his face like that?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Okay, I kind of ship it. Is that wrong?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Don\u2019t be gross, they\u2019re both engaged!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Seriously, if you ship everything, you\u2019ll end up in a coffin!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius, aware of the speculative glances being thrown his way, finally spoke, his voice tight with irritation. \u201cMr. Palmer, this is a public event. Don\u2019t say things that could be misinterpreted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy apologies,\u201d Haskell said, his smile unwavering. \u201cI thought you had a fondness for Draven. My mistake. But in the future, if you wish to meet with someone from the Palmer family, just let me know. There\u2019s no need to be sneaky about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius was speechless. He hated the way Haskell could deliver a devastating blow with a gentle smile. The man was infuriatingly good at getting under his skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Wow, that was a subtle jab. \u2018Sneaky.\u2019 Is Mr. Lincoln into some kinky stuff?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[It\u2019s clear who\u2019s winning this war of words. Mr. Lincoln can\u2019t keep up.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Haskell is known for being a smiling assassin. He kills you with kindness.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unable to take any more, Lucius\u2019s gaze dropped to Haskell\u2019s legs. \u201cI was just concerned, Mr. Palmer,\u201d he said, his voice dripping with mock sympathy. \u201cWith your\u2026 condition, I didn\u2019t want to bother you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The jab didn\u2019t faze Haskell in the slightest. \u201cYou\u2019re too kind, Mr. Lincoln. But my legs will heal. I\u2019m afraid you\u2019ll be stuck with that \u2018eternal second\u2013best\u2018 title for the rest of your life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if it bothers you that much, you could always relocate your entire family to Myanmar. I hear the Lincoln family\u2019s business thrives there, with fewer\u2026 restrictions. But you\u2019d better move quickly. You wouldn\u2019t want to end up in a prison cell next to your uncle.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius\u2019s eyes blazed with fury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon shot to his feet. \u201cMr. Palmer, that\u2019s enough! This is a public forum. Please, watch your tone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut wasn\u2019t it Mr. Lincoln who brought up my legs first?\u201d Haskell asked, his expression one of perfect innocence. \u201cEver since my accident, my father has been concerned about my mental state. He says I\u2019ve become\u2026 emotionally fragile. He even hired a famous psychiatrist from overseas to help me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Mr. Lincoln\u2019s words just now\u2026 they were quite triggering. I may have said some things I didn\u2019t mean. I hope a man in perfect health such as himself can find it in his heart to forgive me. Otherwise, I might think that Mr. Lincoln only brings up the things that he\u2019s most insecure about himself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, his obsession with my legs might make one think that he\u2019s relieved that I\u2019m temporarily out of commission, giving him a chance to finally step out of my shadow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 459\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon was seething but couldn\u2019t say a word. Lucius was also speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Damn! Haskell looks so refined, but his words are brutal!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[And he\u2019s so calm! You can\u2019t even tell he\u2019s angry!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[If you just looked at his face, you\u2019d think he was just catching up with an old friend!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius took a deep breath. \u201cHaskell, whether or not your legs heal depends on Larissa\u2019s treatment.\u201d He paused, then lowered his voice, his tone menacing. \u201cAnd I\u2019m afraid she might not get the chance to finish it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an instant, Haskell\u2019s smile vanished, replaced by a look of pure, unadulterated fury. \u201cYou are not powerful enough to threaten her,\u201d he said, his voice a low growl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
