Larissa Judson and Haskell Palmer novel Chapter 875

Larissa understood the meaning behind his words and smiled openly. “That’s right. I told my mom what you like. After all the lunches we’ve had together, I’ve got a pretty good idea of your preferences.”

Sapphira exchanged a knowing glance with her husband, who was standing beside Larissa, and they tactfully retreated into the house.

“I’ll take it from here, Crispin,” Larissa said with a smile.

Crispin nodded and stepped aside. “I’ll be waiting outside for you, sir.”

Larissa moved behind Haskell’s wheelchair and pushed him inside.

“You seem to be in a good mood,” Haskell observed. “I take it you won the case?”

“Yep,” Larissa replied cheerfully. “Thanks to the solid evidence you helped uncover, it was a slam dunk.” She paused. “But, just as you predicted, we still don’t have direct proof that Haven Health and HumanaMed Group are controlled by the Lincoln family.”

“It’s fine,” Haskell said. “Even if we can’t pin it on Lucius directly, this series of events must have his nerves shot. With one Lincoln family member after another getting into trouble while he remains powerless against me, Jedidiah must be losing faith in him. He’s probably on the verge of cutting him loose.”

“Exactly,” Larissa agreed. “And without Jedidiah’s protection, it’ll be easy to destroy the Lincoln family with all the information we have on them.”

The Lincoln family was, in essence, just a tool for Jedidiah to exert his influence and secretly amass wealth. Once that tool became a liability, Jedidiah wouldn’t hesitate to dispose of the ticking time bomb.

“Okay, thanks, Mom!” Larissa said with a grin. She sat down next to Haskell and, using a fork, picked up half a strawberry and held it to his lips.

As he took a bite, Haskell said, “While the Lincoln family has other ventures, their main asset in this country—aside from their gray-area operations abroad—was Neverending Night. It once dominated Regal City, holding a sea of information on the rich and powerful. Now that it’s been shut down, I’ve had my people strategically leak damaging information on their competitors. It should entice them to attack and take a piece of the Lincoln family’s pie for themselves.”

Larissa forked another half-strawberry for herself. “Right. I’m also gathering evidence on the sordid dealings behind the Luminary Arts Centre. Once we have enough, we can use Honora as the spark to expose everything. This time, Lucius won’t escape.”

At the mention of Honora, Haskell raised an eyebrow. “So, you’ve been holding off on crushing her completely because you plan to use her to take down the Luminary Arts Centre?”
