Larissa Judson and Haskell Palmer novel Chapter 715

The more she looked, the more she saw a faint resemblance between Rigby and Haskell.

She turned to study her cousin. Haskell’s features were exceptional, like a masterpiece of sculpture—flawless from every angle. He had a naturally high-bridged nose, lips that were red without any coloring, and smooth, refined skin. A subtle shadow beneath his eyes gave his gaze a hint of alluring softness.

Tonight, instead of his usual formal suit, Haskell wore a custom-tailored ensemble in a deep shade of blue that made him look even more elegant and distinguished. He had clearly gone to great lengths to impress Larissa.

“What did that Dillon boy want?” Zoltan asked Haskell, breaking the silence.

“Nothing important,” Haskell replied with a smile. “He just wanted me to give Larissa a birthday gift for him.”

Avril immediately chimed in proudly. “I already took care of Torrin’s gift. It will not be reaching Larissa’s hands!”

“That boy is persistent,” Zoltan grumbled. “If it weren’t for the family’s guilt over him being lost for so long, the Dillons would have never tolerated the trouble he’s caused you recently.”

As he spoke, he felt a gaze on him and glanced over. It was Rigby.

Instead of looking away, Rigby met his eyes and spoke. “It’s an honor to be seated at the same table as you, Mr. Palmer.”

Paxton’s family turned to look at Rigby, surprised. Leopold, in particular, was confused. As far as he knew, Rigby was just an actor in “Heaven’s Will”. When had he become so close to Larissa that he was invited to a private family dinner and seated with the Palmers?

Zoltan’s sharp gaze settled on the young man. “What’s your name?”

“You…” Leopold bristled.

Finley placed a hand on his shoulder, silently urging him to calm down.

Rigby, however, wasn't finished. “Whatever my relationship with Ms. Judson is, I can guarantee it’s better than yours.”

Leopold’s temper flared again. “Who do you think you are, claiming your relationship with her is better than mine?”

“That’s the point,” Rigby said coolly. “I’m a nobody, yet even my relationship with her is better than yours. You should really think about why that is.”
