Chapter 461\u00a0<\/p>\n
The air around Lucius turned frigid, the pressure so intense that Damon and Magnus shivered, dering not to even glance at his face. If looks could kill, the room would be littered with corpses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lincoln, calm down,\u201d Damon murmured, trying to placate him. \u201cWe\u2019ll bankrupt Starlight Media. That little upstart will be on her knees, and then you can humiliate her however you please\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius\u2019s voice was ice. \u201cFrom this day forward, I want Starlight Media blacklisted. Not a single resource, not one project. I want them bankrupt in three months.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And after Starlight Media, he would target the core of the Judson family\u2019s empire. Judson Pharmaceuticals. He would tear the entire family down until their name was nothing but a forgotten whisper in Regal City.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Larissa\u2019s secretary, Ursa, had been about to greet her new boss when she saw the gesture. Larissa, in full view of everyone, had drawn a hand across her throat while looking directly at Lucius Lincoln.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa froze, her voice turning robotic. \u201cWe\u2019re screwed. Our new CEO is\u2026 bold.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leila, standing beside her, asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong, Ursa?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa sighed heavily. \u201cDidn\u2019t you see what Ms. Judson just did? She openly provoked Lucius Lincoln in front of everyone. It\u2019s like she\u2019s trying to speed up our company\u2019s demise.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leila, however, remembered that it was precisely this boldness that had saved her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026 Ms. Judson already made an enemy of him. Playing nice wouldn\u2019t have changed anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat may be true, but you don\u2019t pour gasoline on a fire,\u201d Ursa said, exasperated. \u201cUnless she\u2019s telling the truth\u2013that she really is Field of Lari\u2013I have no idea how we\u2019re supposed to win the rights to \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018 today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leila\u2019s eyes widened. \u201cWhat did you just say? Ms. Judson claims she\u2019s Field of Lari?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa nodded. \u201cYeah. Do you believe it? Because I certainly-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could finish the word \u201cdon\u2019t,\u201d Leila was nodding vigorously, her face lit with excitement. \u201cI\u00a0<\/p>\n
believe her!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa was speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt all makes sense now,\u201d Leila murmured, mostly to herself. \u201cNo wonder she was so confident about securing the rights. To think that the author I admire most is the same person who saved my life\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa stared, dumbfounded. She actually believed it? Leila\u2019s unwavering faith planted a seed of doubt in her own mind. Could it be true? Could Ms. Judson really be Field of Lari?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glanced back at Larissa, who had already dismissed Lucius\u2019s murderous glare. Ignoring him completely, she ascended the stairs to the second floor, heading for the Blessing Suite where Haskell was waiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Torrin spotted her and bolted from his own private room. He sprinted down the hallway, so focused on reaching her that he didn\u2019t see Avril emerging from the Blessing Suite until he slammed\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
09:17\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 461\u00a0<\/p>\n
right into her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOuch!\u201d Avril cried out, tumbling to the floor,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin ignored her, intent on continuing his pursuit. But before he could take a step, a hand gripped the corner of his jacket.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you think you\u2019re doing?\u201d Avril demanded. \u201cWhat? You run into someone and just walk away? Have you no shame?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just want money, don\u2019t you? Fine!\u201d Torrin snapped, pulling out his wallet. He flipped it open, revealing a picture of Larissa, a few coins, and not a single bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He froze. This was awkward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril had already pushed herself up, brushing off her dress. Seeing his empty wallet, she scoffed. \u201cNot a dollar to your name and you try to throw money at me? How pathetic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin\u2019s face turned crimson. \u201cDon\u2019t talk nonsense. I\u2019m a Dillon! I have plenty of money, just no cash on me! I\u2019ll transfer you later!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you\u2019ll pay me now. And you\u2019re taking me to the hospital for a CT scan!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you insane? I barely touched you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, I need one! I\u2019m delicate! Even a small injury could be serious!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not wanting to waste any more time, Torrin stormed back to his room. \u201cSharon, give me a thousand dollars!\u201d he demanded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
