But Solomon had no intention of honoring their deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just a promise,\u201d he said with a dismissive shrug. \u201cDid you really take it seriously? Finley, when you were running your company, did you trust every promise you were given? Don\u2019t you know that only a signed and sealed contract is legally binding?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had come to the estate today to get his sister cured, hoping to use the situation to teach Haskell a lesson in front of their grandfather. Instead, Haskell had walked away with a piece of the family fortune. He was in no mood to care about Finley\u2019s fate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley trembled with rage. Not only had Solomon broken his promise, but he was now mocking him for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this was the Palmer estate, and he was facing a Palmer. All he could do was swallow his anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSolomon, I betrayed my own sister again to come here and testify for you!\u201d he pleaded. \u201cAre you really going to go back on your word in front of your grandfather?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what if I do?\u201d Solomon retorted. \u201cDo you think my grandfather cares? You were the fool who trusted me so easily.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley\u2019s hands balled into fists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa added another blow. \u201cFinley, Solomon\u2019s right. You were a fool to trust him without any leverage. You never learn, do you? You let Honora wrap you around her little finger and foolishly gave her your chance at a cure. Otherwise, you\u2019d be free of this poison by\u00a0<\/p>\n
now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The added scorn from his own sister was more than Finley could bear. His eyes reddened, and his voice cracked. \u201cLarissa, you know I was deceived by Honora! Why do you keep holding it against me? I\u2019ve paid for every mistake I made against you! I tried to ruin your face, but you severed the tendons in my leg, and now I\u2019m a cripple! I conspired with Draven to frame you, but I lost my inheritance! I\u2019ve been brought this low, isn\u2019t that enough for you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Larissa said, her voice devoid of emotion\u00a0<\/p>\n
The single word was a final, crushing blow. The last of Finley\u2019s strength seemed to drain\u00a0<\/p>\n
away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing his deathly pale face, Larissa added one last, cruel twist. \u201cIf you hadn\u2019t shown up here today to testify against me, I might have, one day, taken pity on you and given you the cure. But you chose, once again, to try and hurt me to get what you wanted. So why would I ever show you pity or forgiveness?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a lie, of course. She had never intended to cure him. She just wanted to ensure he\u00a0<\/p>\n

would live with the regret forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, a member of the kitchen staff announced that dinner was ready.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, then,\u201d Zoltan said. \u201cIt\u2019s time for our guest to leave. See him out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sir.\u201d The butler stepped forward and gestured coldly toward Finley. \u201cThis way, please.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley glanced one last time at Larissa before slowly, unsteadily, getting to his feet and walking away like a man in a trance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the matter of the poison settled, Haskell turned to the grim\u2013faced Solomon, a pleasant, polite smile on his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you two are already here, why don\u2019t you stay for dinner? You can help me celebrate my first acquisition of company shares.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Solomon fought to keep his composure. \u201cMy sister has just been cured. I need to tell our parents the good news. We won\u2019t be staying to celebrate with you, Haskell.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a shame,\u201d Haskell said, his voice dripping with false regret.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Solomon didn\u2019t want to spend another second in that house. He stood and addressed Zoltan. \u201cGrandpa, my sister and I will not be joining you for dinner.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zoltan waved his hand dismissively. \u201cGo on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Faith also stood. \u201cGrandpa, we\u2019ll be leaving now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After that, she grabbed her bag and followed her brother out of the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
