Chapter 527\u00a0<\/p>\n
The slam of the door jogged the neighbor\u2019s memory.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold! That was Leopold!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh my god, she was seeing a celebrity in real life! And a pretty famous one at that! He was even more handsome in person. She\u2019d heard some negative rumors about him online, but seeing him now, she decided none of that mattered. How could someone that good\u2013looking be a bad person?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had to wait by her door. When he came out, she was going to get his autograph and a photo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside, Leopold walked over to the coffee table and stared at the mountain of empty beer bottles. \u201cFinley, what the hell is wrong with you?\u201d he demanded, his voice sharp with disapproval. He had always respected his older brother and had never spoken to him like this before. But he couldn\u2019t stand to see him in such a state.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley collapsed onto the sofa, his voice weak and listless. \u201cDrowning my sorrows. What else?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs this because of Larissa?\u201d Leopold asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho else would it be?\u201d Finley let out a bitter laugh. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can hold on much longer. The poison she gave me is torture. It\u2019s clear she really wants me dead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold\u2019s brow furrowed. \u201cSo what did you do this time?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley just shook his head. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter. What\u2019s done is done. Telling you won\u2019t change anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t give up, Finley,\u201d Leopold urged. \u201cThere has to be another way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not you who\u2019s poisoned,\u201d Finley shot back with a self\u2013mocking sneer. \u201cIt\u2019s not you who\u2019s being tormented every single night. It\u2019s easy for you to\u00a0<\/p>\n

stand there and say there\u2019s another way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words left Leopold speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley wasn\u2019t finished. \u201cNone of this would have happened if you hadn\u2019t come to me that day, demanding I get revenge for Honora.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That stung.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you seriously telling me,\u201d Leopold retorted, \u201cthat even if I hadn\u2019t said anything, you wouldn\u2019t have gone after Larissa for Honora\u2019s sake?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley\u2019s temper flared. He snatched a beer bottle and hurled it to the floor. \u201cYes, I would have! I did this to myself! Are you happy now? So what are you even doing here, trying to comfort me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Glass shattered across the room. Leopold stared at the mess, then closed his eyes in guilt. \u201cFinley\u2026 I\u2019m sorry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t say you\u2019re sorry,\u201d Finley shot back, his eyes red with rage. \u201cIt\u2019s useless. Those words mean nothing to me. All I want is for this poison to be gone. Otherwise, I\u2019ll just have to kill myself!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold sat down beside him, gripping his shoulder firmly. \u201cI\u2019ll figure something out for you, Finley. Just hang on a little longer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was only one option left: he had to beg their grandfather. No matter how ruthless Kiernan could be, he would never let his own grandson die.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold had a meeting at Gale Entertainment that afternoon and couldn\u2019t leave Finley alone. He called their mother, Vivica.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, you need to get over to Finley\u2019s place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with Finley?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not in a good state. I\u2019m worried he might do something drastic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m on my way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 527\u00a0<\/p>\n
Catching Leopold\u2019s worried glance, Finley laughed bitterly. \u201cI\u2019m supposed to be the older brother, the calm and responsible one. And look at me now, making my little brother worry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold sighed and put his phone down. \u201cDon\u2019t say that, Finley. We\u2019re brothers. We\u2019re supposed to look out for each other. I was the one who was reckless. If I hadn\u2019t tampered with Larissa\u2019s car to get back at her for Honora, maybe she wouldn\u2019t be so ruthless with us now. The reason she won\u2019t give you the antidote\u2026 it\u2019s partly my fault.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
