Larissa Judson and Haskell Palmer novel Chapter 309

“Don’t get too cocky, Larissa. The share transfer isn’t finalized yet. Grandpa could change his mind in the next couple of days. Once I’m cured and you can no longer threaten me, I will take back everything that rightfully belongs to me and leave you with nothing again!”

With that, Finley stormed off, heading backstage to find Mr. Lawson.

Behind her sunglasses, Honora shot Larissa a venomous glare before pulling at her mask and hurrying after Finley.

Larissa just snorted. She was already imagining the punishment she would devise for Finley when he inevitably discovered that she was the poison expert and his cure was nowhere in sight.

Avril watched them go, a look of contempt on her face. “I honestly don’t get it. How could Finley’s family be so stupid? Even when you were first brought back and they didn’t know how amazing you were, you were still their real daughter, their real sister. Shouldn’t they have felt sorry for how you suffered and focused on nurturing you? Instead, they looked down on you for not being as ‘excellent’ as Honora.”

“But now it’s obvious you’re far superior to her. If you were really as they thought, who knows how they would have mistreated you after you returned. The thought is terrifying.”

Listening to Avril’s rambling, Larissa smiled. “There are no what-ifs. The me of today is here to make them pay for what they would have done to the me of yesterday.”

Avril’s eyes sparkled. “Oh my god, Larissa, that was the coolest thing I’ve ever heard.”

Larissa chuckled. “With the way you shower people with praise, whoever dates you will have their emotional needs met a hundred times over.”

“Who would have thought that his own brother and his adopted sister would be the ones to plot against him and cripple him? Those two were ungrateful and deserved what they got!”

“By the way, why didn’t you bring Haskell with you today? Why me? I’m happy you asked me, of course, but won’t Haskell get jealous and be mad at me?”

“I figured he’d be busy dealing with the aftermath of the Draven situation, so I didn’t call him,” Larissa explained.

Avril nodded in understanding. “I see. I wonder what happened to that ungrateful snake Draven after he was taken away. If you ask me, he deserved to die. Haskell treated him so well, and he tried to kill him in return!”
