Chapter 533\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leopold wasn\u2019t surprised by Larissa\u2019s cold reply. He didn\u2019t write back. Instead, he sent the photos of a disheveled Finley he\u2019d taken earlier to his grandfather. After waiting a few moments, he dialed his number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the first time he had contacted his grandfather since being cast out of the Judson family. He hadn\u2019t felt he had the right to before. He wondered if his grandfather had forgiven him for what he\u2019d done to his sister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The phone rang for a long time before an old, weary voice answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, did you see the photos I sent you? Finley is in a lot of pain. Can you please talk to Larissa for him? Ask her to give him the antidote.\u201d Leopold\u2019s voice was pleading. \u201cI\u2019m sure you know Larissa poisoned him as revenge.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was a long silence on the other end, followed by a heavy sigh. \u201cYou know your sister\u2019s temperament. Even if I were to ask, it\u2019s unlikely to\u00a0<\/p>\n
work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, he\u2019s being tortured every single night,\u201d Leopold pressed. \u201cNo matter how wrong he was, he\u2019s still your grandson. Can you really bear to see him suffer like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another sigh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa\u2019s birthday is coming up. I\u2019m planning to return for it. I\u2019ll bring it up with her then. I can only say I\u2019ll try. I can\u2019t guarantee she\u2019ll agree to cure him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A flicker of hope ignited in Leopold\u2019s eyes. \u201cGrandpa, if you\u2019re the one asking, I know she\u2019ll agree.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 533\u00a0<\/p>\n
After her curt reply, Larissa heard nothing more from Leopold. She pushed him from her mind and focused on her work. She had far too much to do to waste even a moment of sorrow on people who didn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
deserve it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just before the end of the day, Gustave rushed into her office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa, I\u2019ve locked in the actors for the lead and the other key roles.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh?\u201d Larissa looked up, intrigued by his excitement. \u201cYou seem pleased with your choices. Who\u2019s our male lead?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew little about the entertainment world and trusted Gustave\u2019s expertise completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gustave took the glass of water Ursa offered him and drank deeply before answering. \u201cWynn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Ursa, who hadn\u2019t yet left the room, gasped in surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa glanced at her secretary. \u201cWhat is it, Ursa? Why are you so shocked?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Ursa could decide whether to speak, Gustave explained. \u201cWynn is a former A\u2013lister. Three years ago, right after winning a major acting award, he was in a car accident that nearly killed him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a huge story at the time,\u201d he continued. \u201cAt first, there was an outpouring of sympathy from his fans. But then someone leaked that the female assistant who died in the crash was his mistress. It turned out Wynn had a long\u2013term girlfriend who had been supporting him behind the scenes. After the scandal broke, his career tanked. He\u2019s practically vanished from the industry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa nodded. \u201cExactly. Director, are you sure you want to cast someone with that much negative baggage?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure,\u201d Gustave said firmly. \u201cIn terms of look, temperament, and talent, Wynn is the perfect fit. But of course, the final decision is up to Larissa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
