Chapter 460\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without another word, Haskell signaled for Crispin to push him toward the elevator to the second floor. The second floor was a series of open\u2013air suites with a charming, rustic decor. Crispin wheeled Haskell to the entrance of their reserved suite, the Blessing Suite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, a cheerful voice called out, \u201cHaskell!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril was leaning against the railing of the adjacent suite, the Fortune Suite. She waved enthusiastically, then said something to her friends before hurrying over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaskell,\u201d she said, leaning on the railing of his suite, \u201cI know Larissa isn\u2019t here as a representative of Starlight Media, but why didn\u2019t she come with you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell, who was pouring himself a cup of coffee, smiled. \u201cShe\u2019s here. She just had to go upstairs to prepare something first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh!\u201d Avril\u2019s face lit up. She knew Larissa wouldn\u2019t back down from a fight. That idiot Milton had been crowing in the group chat that Larissa was too scared of Lucius to show up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaskell, you should know, all the usual suspects are here,\u201d Avril said, lowering her voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSolon Schwartz from the Schwartz family. The Fraser and Garrick brothers. And Sharon and Torrin Dillon from the Dillon family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure everyone but Solon is just here for the show,\u201d she continued. \u201cEveryone in Regal City knows that Larissa has made an enemy of the Lincoln family, and that Lucius is planning to crush the Judsons. Today\u2019s battle for the rights to \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018 is his opening salvo. If Larissa didn\u2019t show up, she\u2019d be the laughingstock of the entire city.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell took a sip of his coffee. \u201cHow interesting that Solomon and Faith aren\u2019t here for such a lively\u00a0<\/p>\n
event.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, you haven\u2019t heard?\u201d Avril said, her eyes wide with gossip. \u201cFaith was missing for two days, and when she turned up, she was sick. She\u2019s in agonizing pain every night, and the doctors can\u2019t figure out what\u2019s wrong with her. She\u2019s been in the hospital ever since. I guess they\u2019re not in the mood for a party.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s expression didn\u2019t change, but he knew exactly what was wrong with Faith. The poison Larissa had given her was taking effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the Harvest Suite, Sharon looked at her brother, who was slumped in his chair, looking miserable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, for heaven\u2019s sake, you\u2019re the one who begged me to bring you here. Stop sulking. Haskell is here. Do you really think Larissa would be far behind?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the mention of her name, Torrin sat up straight, his eyes glued to the conference hall below, afraid\u00a0<\/p>\n
to miss her arrival.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, Larissa appeared on the ground floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin\u2019s eyes lit\u00a0<\/p>\n
up,\u00a0<\/p>\n
and he jumped to his feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharon rolled her eyes. What a hopeless case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 460\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe she actually came,\u201d Damon muttered, stealing a glance at Lucius. \u201cShe must have heard that Haskell was here and gotten a confidence boost. Does she really think he can outbid us? He can barely hold on to his own position in the Palmer family. How much is he really willing to spend\u00a0<\/p>\n
on her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius, who had been fiddling with the ring on his thumb, stopped. His eyes narrowed. \u201cShe\u2019s overestimating herself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Larissa looked up and met his gaze. In front of everyone, she slowly raised a hand and dragged her thumb across her throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The crowd gasped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid she just\u2026?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs she openly challenging Mr. Lincoln?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s got guts! No one in Regal City would dare to do that! Even Mr. Palmer was only speaking in veiled terms!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
