Chapter 498\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a private hospital room, Honora lay in bed, scrolling through the chat between Milton and Larissa. She took a screenshot and sent it to Finley. Seeing that the message went through, she knew he hadn\u2019t blocked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Finley, Benedict, the director you worked so hard to recruit, has abandoned Starlight Media. It was your life\u2019s work, and now your own sister is driving it into the ground. I feel so sorry for you.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
She waited, but no reply came.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t matter. She knew he had seen it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She put down her phone and looked at her own bandaged face in a hand mirror. Only her eyes were visible. Soon, the bandages would come off, and her beauty would be restored.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Lucius backing her now, she was certain she could finally destroy Larissa. She would make Larissa pay a thousand times over for every bit of pain she had endured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the city hospital, Finley had just been given another dose of sedatives, and the agonizing pain was finally beginning to subside. His doctor stood by the bed, looking at his pale face with a troubled expression. He turned to Vivica and Leopold, who were visiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Judson\u2019s condition\u2026 we\u2019ve done all we can. We can\u2019t keep him on anesthetics long\u2013term. It will eventually cause brain damage.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her son so weak, Vivica\u2019s heart ached.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand,\u201d she said, her voice strained. \u201cWe\u2019ll arrange for his discharge tomorrow and figure something out ourselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll prescribe a month\u2019s worth of painkillers. I strongly advise you to find a specialist who can treat him within that time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the doctor left, Vivica\u2019s eyes turned red.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are we going to do? Even the best doctors in Regal City can\u2019t cure this poison!\u201d She wrung her hands in regret. \u201cIf only you hadn\u2019t given the antidote to that bastard Honora!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, don\u2019t bring that up again,\u201d Leopold warned gently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica sighed. \u201cYou\u2019re right. I won\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should go home and rest, Mom,\u201d Leopold said. \u201cI\u2019ll stay with Finley tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica nodded. \u201cAlright. Call me if anything happens.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once she was gone, Finley picked up his phone, hoping to distract himself from the lingering discomfort. He saw the message from Honora, and his eyes widened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t upset that Benedict had left Starlight Media. He saw an opportunity. This could be his chance to get Larissa to cure him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had been getting daily updates on the company\u2019s situation from a female employee who was still\u00a0<\/p>\n

loyal to him. He knew that a dozen employees had been poached by Gale Entertainment, leaving the company short\u2013staffed. Now, with Benedict gone too, the \u201cHeaven\u2019s Will\u201d project was in serious jeopardy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he could find a director even more renowned than Benedict for his sister, it might be enough to atone for what he had done. Maybe then, Larissa would be willing to cure him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, another message came from the female employee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Mr. Judson, five strange people showed up at the office today. Your sister hired them to help.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley paused. His sister\u2026 had already found help?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He quickly typed back: [What about a director? Has she found one?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
