Chapter 462\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharon, delicately savoring a piece of cake, turned to her friend. \u201cDoes my idiot brother sound like he\u2019s asking for a favor?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her friend shook her head. \u201cHe sounds like he owns the place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharon shrugged. \u201cNot happening.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin gritted his teeth. \u201cSharon!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She set down her fork and dabbed her lips with a napkin. \u201cDon\u2019t you dare raise your voice at me. Who begged me to bring him here? One more outburst and I\u2019m calling Dad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin fell silent, defeated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While he\u2019d been dealing with Avril, Larissa had reached the suite. Blocked by Avril, who now stood in the middle of the hallway with her arms crossed, Torrin could only shout her name in frustration. \u201cLarissa!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa glanced at him for a beat before disappearing into the Blessing Suite, ignoring him completely. She sat down and took the cup of coffee Haskell slid toward her, downing it in one go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d Haskell asked, noticing the murderous look in her eyes as she\u2019d watched Lucius. He refilled her cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa tapped her fingers on the ceramic. \u201cI genuinely want to gut a scumbag like Lucius.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
While Nightveil had dug up some dirt on the Lincoln family\u2019s illicit dealings, most of those operations had been cleaned up, leaving behind no concrete evidence. Leaking what they had would cause a stir but wouldn\u2019t be a fatal blow. The few actionable pieces of intel had already been used by Haskell to get Jagger thrown in jail. To truly crush the Lincolns and corner Lucius, she needed fresh, undeniable proof.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell didn\u2019t question her sudden fury. Instead, he smiled warmly. \u201cYou start the carving. If you can\u2019t finish the job, I\u2019ll be right there to help you land the final blow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa turned to him, her gaze clear and resolute. \u201cI\u2019m serious this time, Haskell. I\u2019m going to uproot the Lincoln family so completely they\u2019ll never recover. It\u2019s going to drag a lot of powerful people into the fray, and even your family will face pressure from all sides.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell remained unperturbed, a calm smile playing on his lips as if he had everything under control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTaking down the Lincolns has its risks, but it\u2019s manageable. No matter what happens, I\u2019ll be by your side, protecting you. You just do what you need to do without any hesitation. The only thing I ask is that you remember to come home at night after we\u2019re married.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His last sentence made her chuckle. \u201cWe\u2019re not even married yet, and you\u2019re already worried about sleeping alone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell gestured toward the window. \u201cWith a lovesick rival that persistent camped outside our door, how can I not be?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sounds of Torrin and Avril\u2019s argument were still audible from the hallway. Larissa had to admit,\u00a0<\/p>\n

she was surprised by his tenacity. He was as relentless now as he had been when he first pursued her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But so what? She didn\u2019t tolerate people testing her feelings. One test always led to another, followed by endless suspicion. What she needed was unconditional trust, the kind that let her place her back in someone\u2019s hands without a second thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She smiled playfully. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I never go back to an ex. And that goes for you, too, Haskell. If you ever break up with me or call off the engagement, even as a joke, I won\u2019t allow it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s beautiful eyes shone with conviction. \u201cLarissa, I\u2019m not that foolish. Even if I can\u2019t lock you by my side forever, I would never, ever push you away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood. Now, let\u2019s get down to business.\u201d Larissa took out her phone and dialed. \u201cLenora, it\u2019s time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Florence is a passionate reader who finds joy in long drives on rainy days. She\u2019s also a fan of Italian makeup tutorials, blending beauty and elegance into her everyday life.<\/p>\n
