Larissa Judson and Haskell Palmer novel Chapter 943

Larissa's words struck a chord with many viewers watching the livestream.

[Larissa is speaking my language! I'm so tired of people preaching about 'turning the other cheek.' If you repay injustice with kindness, how are you supposed to repay kindness?]

[Exactly. Take how she dealt with her own parents and brothers. Some people would say she was too cruel, that they're her blood relatives no matter what. But if you really think about it, was she cruel? I don't think so. The people who think that are, just as she said, the unreasonable ones who expect her to just take it.]

[I get it! To me, the harm from outsiders is insignificant. They're strangers; they don't matter. But betrayal from your closest family? That's what's truly unforgivable!]

[Yes, yes, yes! Betrayal from the people you love and trust the most cuts the deepest. It can never be forgiven!]

[But shouldn't Larissa have at least given her family a chance? Did she? Take her brother, Leopold. Blacklisting him like that was basically backing him into a corner, wasn't it? Even if Leopold betrayed her again, maybe he was forced to.]

[Give me a break! What a lame excuse. No matter how you dress it up, you can't hide the fact that Leopold was disloyal. The moment things got slightly inconvenient for him, he was ready to betray her again. There's no point in forgiving someone like that.]

[Exactly! If she forgave him, who's to say he wouldn't just turn on her again the next time their interests conflicted?]

The viewers' debate raged on.

Back on the show, Larissa paused for a moment before continuing, "On the other hand, I'm quite sure the people I've helped—like my husband’s brother, Rigby—would never say I'm unforgiving."

On stage, Rigby, Leila, Tawny, and Wynn all nodded emphatically, voicing their support.
