Larissa remained unfazed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, if you fell into the hands of someone you consider a nobody, doesn\u2019t that just make you an even bigger failure?\u201d she retorted coolly. \u201cPoisoning a failure like you seems perfectly reasonable to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ignoring Faith\u2019s contorted expression, Larissa turned to Solomon. \u201cFrom what you just said, it sounds like you took Draven, but you never intended to truly harm Haskell. In that case, my poisoning your sister was just my way of helping my fianc\u00e9 in this competition. As long as she doesn\u2019t die, it\u2019s all fair game, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Solomon\u2019s face was a cold mask. He didn\u2019t answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Faith finally exploded. \u201cGrandpa, you heard her! Larissa admitted to poisoning me! Make her give me the antidote! If you don\u2019t, she\u2019s not just disrespecting me, she\u2019s disrespecting the entire Palmer family!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAh, but you\u2019re wrong,\u201d Larissa corrected her calmly. \u201cI\u2019m only disrespecting your family, not Grandpa Zoltan or my Haskell. You alone do not represent the entire Palmer family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned to Zoltan. \u201cGrandpa Zoltan, you saw the video. I poisoned Faith not for any selfish reason, but to protect Haskell. The fact that she allowed herself to be poisoned only proves her and her brother\u2019s incompetence. Solomon is clearly no match for Haskell.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The word \u201cincompetence\u201d struck a nerve. Solomon\u2019s expression turned terrifyingly dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Larissa, seemingly oblivious, continued, \u201cSolomon thought he could use Draven against Haskell, but not only did he fail, he ended up losing his own sister as a hostage. A classic case of the biter bit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s enough,\u201d Zoltan said, his voice firm. \u201cLarissa is right. Whatever schemes you were plotting, you failed, and you must accept the consequences.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then turned to Larissa. \u201cI will punish them for what they did to Haskell. But I hope you will still give my granddaughter the antidote.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa nodded. \u201cOf course. Since you\u2019re asking me personally, Grandpa Zoltan, I can give Faith the antidote.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At her words, Faith\u2019s eyes lit up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley, who had been standing by silently, felt a surge of hope. Was he finally going to be cured?\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before Faith could celebrate, Larissa added, \u201cHowever\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever what?\u201d Faith snapped impatiently. \u201cLarissa, this is the Palmer estate! As my\u00a0<\/p>\n

grandfather\u2019s future granddaughter\u2013in\u2013law, you should know your place! Stop wasting our time and give me the antidote now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa crossed her arms and leaned back, a look of weary resignation on her face. \u201cGrandpa Zoltan, I only agreed to give her the antidote out of respect for you. But look at your granddaughter\u2019s attitude. It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to help her, it\u2019s that she shows no\u00a0<\/p>\n
remorse.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sighed. \u201cIf she continues to act this way, then I\u2019m afraid I can\u2019t grant your request.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t be serious,\u201d Faith sputtered. \u201cWhat gives you the right to bargain\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough, Faith!\u201d Zoltan\u2019s voice boomed, silencing her. \u201cIf you want the antidote, you will hold your tongue!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Faith stared at him, stunned. She couldn\u2019t believe her grandfather was siding with Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
None of the grandchildren had ever dared to negotiate with him. What made Larissa so special?\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the Palmer family\u2019s power, her grandfather could easily force Larissa to hand over the antidote. Why was he asking for her consent?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zoltan turned back to Larissa, his voice calm. \u201cLarissa, what are your terms?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
