The thought of winning his bet and having Larissa lick his shoe sent a thrill through Milton. He threw his head back with a triumphant laugh. \u201cOf course it\u2019ll be a livestream!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa was Haskell\u2019s fianc\u00e9e! Making her lick his shoe was as good as grinding Haskell\u2019s face into\u00a0<\/p>\n
the dirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHaha, we can\u2019t wait for that day to come!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll have to pick out the perfect pair of shoes for her to lick, Milton!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat gives me an idea,\u201d Milton said, pausing for dramatic effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other lackeys took the bait. \u201cWhat is it? Spit it out!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll have all of us\u2026 finish on the shoe first,\u201d Milton declared with a lecherous grin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The cronies stared in stunned silence for a moment. \u201cHoly shit, Milton, you\u2019re a twisted genius!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHahaha, nobody\u2019s more depraved than you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius merely listened to them degrade Larissa, not participating in the discussion. But after hearing Milton\u2019s suggestion, he spoke up for the first time. \u201cA fine idea.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Milton clasped his hands together and scurried over to Lucius, his face a mask of sycophantic glee. \u201cWill Mr. Lincoln be joining us? If you\u2019d like, you can be the first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo need,\u201d Lucius said. \u201cSave that particular pleasure for yourselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Mr. Lincoln!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia had been waiting just outside the door. Hearing nothing but vile filth, she decided there was no useful information to be gained and turned to leave. Just then, she saw Lucius\u2019s assistant watching her from a short distance away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly composed herself and walked over to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t want to interrupt Lucius while he\u2019s working,\u201d she explained, \u201cbut I couldn\u2019t bear to leave him so soon, so I just lingered for a moment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The assistant studied her for a long moment before speaking. \u201cMs. Tyson, it\u2019s best you don\u2019t do this again. If Mr. Lincoln were to misunderstand, it wouldn\u2019t be good for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia sighed. \u201cAlright. Thank you for the warning. You\u2026 you won\u2019t tell him I was eavesdropping, will you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia turned and walked toward the elevator. As the doors closed, she replayed the assistant\u2019s words in her mind and a small smile touched her lips. Her behavior had been highly suspicious, yet instead of reporting her, he had warned her to be careful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCould he be a fan?\u201d she wondered. \u201cPerhaps I can use this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 543\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sent a text to Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Lucius has a particularly loud dog named Milton. He\u2019s telling everyone that when he wins his bet with you, he\u2019s going to livestream you licking his shoe\u2013a shoe covered in their disgusting semen.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa\u2019s eyes narrowed as she read the message. Some dogs truly did bark louder than their masters. She couldn\u2019t be bothered to deal with that kind of mutt herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She typed back a reply:\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Let him bark for a few more days. I\u2019ll turn him into a real dog soon enough.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
After sending the message, she noticed she had been added to a new group chat with eight members. The group creator was her grandfather. Besides her and her parents, Paxton\u2019s family of four was also in the group. The only one missing was Josette Judson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kiernan posted a screenshot of a flight itinerary in the chat. He would be arriving in two days, at five in the afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paxton was the first to respond: [Dad, you\u2019re coming back?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Followed by Leopold: [Finley and I will come pick you up!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kiernan didn\u2019t reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa guessed her grandfather was waiting to see how she and her parents would react. It was obvious he was genuinely trying to push her and Paxton\u2019s family to bury the hatchet and coexist peacefully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
