Chapter 470\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, the representative from Beacon Media stood up. \u201cWe accept,\u201d he said firmly. \u201cWe have absolute faith in your talent, and we are certain your next novel will surpass even your current achievements. We are honored by this opportunity and look forward to our next collaboration.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following his lead, the representatives from the other two chosen companies also stood and expressed their gratitude and honor at being recognized by Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the second-floor balcony, Sharon watched with renewed admiration. \u201cLarissa\u2019s approach is fascinating. She\u2019s essentially telling every other company here that they lost \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2019 because they lacked either the money of Gale Entertainment or the integrity of these three.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut surely some of them will hold a grudge,\u201d her friend commented.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharon scoffed. \u201cWhat good is a grudge in the face of overwhelming talent? If Larissa\u2019s next novel is as big a hit as she claims it will be, then she has every right to be this confident.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Downstairs, Haskell smiled. \u201cCrispin, let\u2019s go down.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Haskell descended, Lucius, still seething from being so thoroughly outmaneuvered in front of his rival, rose to his feet. His eyes, cold and menacing, locked onto Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But instead of shrinking from his murderous gaze, Larissa walked directly toward him, a faint, mocking smile on her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lincoln,\u201d she said sweetly, stopping just before him, \u201cconsider the 600 million I saved you a contribution to your family\u2019s funeral fund. Use it wisely. You might not have many more chances to be so extravagant.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Funeral fund?!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sheer audacity of her statement was breathtaking. Damon broke into a cold sweat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius\u2019s voice was dangerously low. \u201cEnjoy your moment, Larissa. You won\u2019t have many more days of such arrogance left.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he turned and strode out of the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo comfort him!\u201d Damon hissed at his daughter, Livia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia, who had been secretly reveling in Lucius\u2019s downfall, put on a mask of concern. \u201cI know.\u201d She hurried after him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon turned back to Larissa, his eyes full of malice. \u201cDon\u2019t think you\u2019ve won just because you have the rights to \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2019. Plenty of major IPs have flopped as screen adaptations. You might be able to write a good book, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can make a good movie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa just shrugged. \u201cA failure like you has no business worrying about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon snorted in disgust and left with his assistant and Magnus in tow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick and Fraser, who had come expecting to see Larissa crushed, instead found themselves witnesses to her spectacular triumph.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
10:18\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 470\u00a0<\/p>\n
What a waste of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Haskell and Crispin on the main floor, the two brothers followed them down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leila saw Garrick approaching and instinctively tensed, but with Larissa nearby, she felt an unfamiliar sense of security.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, Larissa, you really are full of surprises, a celebrated novelist,\u201d Fraser said with a smile as he reached the bottom of the stairs. \u201cHaskell has truly found a treasure. You\u2019ve been back in Regal City for less than a month and have already caused three major sensations. I can\u2019t wait to see what kind of surprise you have in store for us high-society folk next.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, there are plenty more surprises to come,\u201d Larissa replied coolly. \u201cPerhaps the next one will be your family\u2019s humiliation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fraser\u2019s smile didn\u2019t waver.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garrick, however, cut straight to the point. \u201cLarissa, after you left the auction the other day, was it you who sent Finley to snatch Leila from me?\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
