She had used a similar excuse the last time she was here, when she had deliberately helped Honora\u00a0<\/p>\n
escape.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the thought, Lucius\u2019s eyes turned icy. He finally looked at her. \u201cCome here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia removed her mask and sunglasses, tucking them into her purse before walking over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she was close enough, Lucius yanked her into his lap. \u201cIf you\u2019re so worried about other women stealing me away, then you\u2019d better learn how to please me properly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fighting back a wave of nausea, she managed to feign a look of hurt. \u201cI cooked for you myself. Isn\u2019t that enough to please you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius stared into her seemingly sincere eyes. If Honora hadn\u2019t told him that Livia had intentionally helped Larissa get her out of here, he might have actually been fooled by her masterful performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat an actress,\u201d he thought with contempt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But no matter. Her pretty face was still useful, so he would let it slide for now. If the Lincoln family was ever going to truly go legitimate, they would need the help of powerful figures, and Livia was a part of that plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, I came to tell you something else,\u201d Livia said, wrapping her arms around his neck. \u201cMy father heard that Larissa is planning to cast Wynn as the male lead in \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the mention of the name, Lucius\u2019s expression darkened. \u201cWynn?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia nodded. \u201cThat\u2019s right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoesn\u2019t he have a girlfriend named Tawny?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia was surprised. Lucius, a man who showed little interest in women, actually remembered the name of an actress. It was truly unexpected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, he does. She\u2019s the poor girl who was publicly betrayed. It was a huge scandal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius was very familiar with the name Tawny. She had been one of the guests at his Mystique Blossom party, one who had caught the eye of a certain VIP. He recalled that after Tawny was chosen, the person who had brought her to the party saw their own status rise considerably, managing to claw their way into the upper echelons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for Wynn, he was supposed to have disappeared by now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius wrapped an arm around Livia\u2019s slender waist, his voice turning sinister. \u201cIf Larissa actually uses Wynn, she\u2019s planting a time bomb in her own company.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d Livia asked, curious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius pushed her out of his lap. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to know the details. Just do your job.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia stumbled, catching her balance after a moment. She forced a reluctant expression. \u201cFine. I won\u2019t disturb you then. Remember to eat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLivia, I\u2019ll return the lunchbox when I\u2019m done!\u201d Milton called out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
12:58\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 542\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust throw it away,\u201d she replied coolly. \u201cI would never give Lucius a container that another man has\u00a0<\/p>\n
used.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she straightened her clothes, put her mask and sunglasses back on, and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once she was gone, Milton practically crowed with delight. \u201cIf Larissa really casts Wynn in \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2018, that show is doomed to fail! Looks like I\u2019m going to win my bet with her! I can\u2019t wait for the day that woman licks my shoes!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius silently agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter how you looked at it, Larissa was destined to lose. And when she did, licking a shoe would be the least of her worries. He was going to obliterate the entire Judson family. He would make Larissa a plaything for anyone to abuse, a fitting revenge for what she did to his uncle, who was still rotting in prison.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMilton, you have to livestream it that day!\u201d another lackey added. \u201cLet the whole world see what happens when someone crosses Mr. Lincoln.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
