When Avril received Torrin\u2019s text, she nearly choked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What on earth?! This guy was something else. But\u2026 he kind of had a point. For a woman\u00a0<\/p>\n
as incredible as Larissa to belong to just one man did seem like a bit of a waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I can\u2019t let Haskell hear me thinking that, or he\u2019ll kill me,\u201d she thought, suppressing a giggle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After she had her laugh, she typed back a reply\u00a0<\/p>\n
[NO. I\u2019m a one\u2013man woman. As long as Haskell is true to me, I will only ever love him.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin read the message and shoved his phone back in his pocket, his heart sinking with disappointment. It was clear Larissa still thought he wasn\u2019t good enough. If he could become more powerful than Haskell, the most sought\u2013after heir in Regal City, then she would come back to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That settled it. He needed to reinvent himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He decided he wouldn\u2019t bother Larissa for a while. In the two months leading up to her wedding, he would transform himself into someone she couldn\u2019t ignore. He would win her back!\u00a0<\/p>\n
After lunch, Larissa parted ways with Haskell and drove back to the Judson estate. As she pulled up, she was surprised to see the main gate adorned with festive decorations. Stepping inside her villa, she was about to ask her mother what was going on when she was met with a chorus of excited voices from her grandparents and five uncles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe watched the whole livestream of the copyright meeting today! Our Larissa is absolutely brilliant!\u201d Stanley declared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Levi\u2019s voice was thick with emotion. \u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of Field of Lari! I\u2019ve read all four of her novels. The political intrigue is masterfully written, and the romance is so delicate and moving it brought me, a grown man, to tears. I need to get her autograph later!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want a photo with her!\u201d Vaughn added with a grin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMe too! And an autograph!\u201d Tavish echoed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa couldn\u2019t help but smile. Her uncles\u2018 enthusiasm was infectious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Rafe looked over and announced, \u201cLarissa\u2019s back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an instant, all five of her uncles were on their feet, striding toward her. They were older men, but each carried himself with a distinct and impressive aura. They must have been real heartbreakers in their youth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 475\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa,\u201d Levi said, his eyes filled with admiration, \u201cwe saw the broadcast today. You\u2019re amazing! To think you\u2019re the famous author, Field of Lari!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley chuckled, clearly satisfied. \u201cAnd you certainly put Lucius Lincoln in his place! He offered 600 million, only to find out he\u2019d been played the whole time!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Larissa,\u201d Rafe asked, his expression serious, \u201cwhere did you get that kind of money?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI earned it selling rare medicinal herbs,\u201d she answered honestly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRare herbs?\u201d Vaughn\u2019s eyes widened. \u201cYou mean all those priceless herbs that have been sold at Regal City\u2019s biggest auction house over the past few years\u2026 they were yours?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa nodded. \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat explains it!\u201d the uncles said in unison. They knew those herbs had recently fetched prices as high as 100 million dollars apiece. Over the years, Larissa must have earned at least two billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a child like Larissa, the Judson family is truly on its way to becoming a top\u2013tier powerhouse,\u201d Gloria remarked to Neville.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo wonder Kiernan was willing to kick Paxton\u2019s family out for her! The old man knows a diamond when he sees one,\u201d said Ziggy Turner Larissa\u2019s maternal grandfather. He sighed. \u201cIt\u2019s a shame he\u2019s gotten so old and frail. If he had still been in charge of Judson Pharmaceuticals instead of leaving it to Paxton and Finley, the family wouldn\u2019t have declined so much in recent years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
