Chapter 508\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell looked down, a faint smile on his lips. \u201cYes. I can\u2019t afford to miss any possibility.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll find him,\u201d Larissa said with a reassuring smile of her own. \u201cNow, let\u2019s eat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her smile was infectious. \u201cAlright,\u201d Haskell agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they finished their meal, Haskell sat in his wheelchair, his eyes fixed on Larissa as she prepared\u00a0<\/p>\n
her needles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, the gentle chime of his phone broke the silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell averted his gaze, pulled out his phone, and glanced at the screen. A flicker of something unreadable passed through his eyes when he saw the caller\u2019s name. He swiped to answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa,\u201d Haskell\u2019s voice was low and warm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa, who had been focused on her work, looked up at the word \u201cGrandpa,\u201d her eyes meeting\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the other end of the line, the patriarch of the Palmer family, Zoltan, asked, \u201cIs Larissa with you right now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s gaze returned to Larissa. \u201cYes, she is. Is something wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAsk her if she\u2019s free,\u201d Zoltan\u2019s voice came through the phone. \u201cIf she is, I\u2019d like both of you to come to the estate this evening.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright.\u201d Haskell lowered the phone slightly. \u201cLarissa, my grandfather wants to know if you\u2019re free to come to the estate with me tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa nodded. \u201cOf course. I\u2019ll just let my parents know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell relayed the message to his grandfather. \u201cLarissa is free.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood. Come over together after work,\u201d Zoltan said before hanging up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Haskell put his phone away, Larissa couldn\u2019t help but feel a flicker of curiosity. \u201cHaskell, why would your grandfather specifically ask for me to come to the Palmer estate? That seems a little strange.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A slight smile played on Haskell\u2019s lips. \u201cI think I have an idea why he\u2019s asking you to come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh? Why is that?\u201d Larissa pressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s probably about Faith being poisoned,\u201d Haskell explained with a knowing smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFaith?\u201d The name jogged Larissa\u2019s memory. \u201cAh, I\u2019ve been so busy lately, I completely forgot about poisoning her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she spoke, the pieces began to click into place. \u201cSo, Faith is planning to use your grandfather to force me to give her the antidote, isn\u2019t she?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell nodded. \u201cThat would be my guess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shrugged. \u201cI see. It seems Faith didn\u2019t learn her lesson. Trying to use your grandfather to\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 508\u00a0<\/p>\n
threaten me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy grandfather won\u2019t just take her word for it,\u201d Haskell said. \u201cAnd since the poison is undetectable, she\u2019s probably in for a disappointment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A sly smile spread across Larissa\u2019s face. \u201cOh, I\u2019m planning to do more than just disappoint her. I was only going to teach her a small lesson, but now\u2026 I\u2019ve decided she won\u2019t be getting the antidote until you are securely in charge of the Palmer family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cMaybe you should find a way to get Garrick over here too. I can poison him at the same time. That should keep him from getting too arrogant in the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell laughed in agreement. \u201cAn excellent idea. We\u2019ll find a chance to nab Garrick. Once he\u2019s poisoned, he\u2019ll have no choice but to behave if he wants to live.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, a thought occurred to him. \u201cLarissa, your poison is like a cheat code. It seems like you could get anyone to do anything just by poisoning them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
