Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 458

Once she had confirmed that everything was in order, Larissa put the documents back in the file.

“By the way, boss,” the manager said, pulling out a few photos and a data sheet, “Nightveil also mentioned that the Lincoln family is planning another illicit operation.”

“This is a new drug they’ve developed in their overseas labs. It’s a combination of narcotics and traditional aphrodisiacs. It’s supposed to be highly addictive, making users completely dependent and easily controllable. The victims end up as sex slaves, and many are eventually sold to wealthy clients in Southeast Asia. If this drug hits the domestic market, countless innocent girls will be at risk.”

Larissa scanned the data sheet, her expression turning to ice. “It seems the Lincoln family has no intention of going legitimate. Without their criminal enterprises, they wouldn’t be able to compete with the Palmers. It’s their only advantage.”

She tossed the data sheet onto the table, her voice dangerously cold. “Within two months, I want the Lincoln family completely dismantled.”

...

The livestream of the “Heaven’s Will” rights sale had just started, and the viewer count was slowly climbing past one hundred thousand. Suddenly, a figure appeared on screen, and the chat exploded.

[Who is that man in the wheelchair? He’s gorgeous!]

[You haven’t heard? That’s Haskell Palmer, the heir to one of the top families in Regal City. He was the city’s golden boy, but he was in an accident a couple of months ago and lost the use of his legs.]

[Oh no! That’s so tragic!]

[Why is he here? Is he interested in the rights to “Heaven’s Will”?]

[Don’t you know? Mr. Palmer is engaged to Larissa Judson, the new head of Starlight Media. He’s probably here to support her.]

Haskell continued, his voice deceptively pleasant. “I heard from my sources that you’ve taken a particular interest in my brother, Draven. You even sent someone to pick him up from the airport the other day. I was curious, what business do you have with him?”

At the mention of this, Lucius’s face darkened. He had received a tip from Solomon and sent his men to grab Draven, but they had failed. Now Haskell was rubbing his face in it.

The representatives from Sky Entertainment and Celestial Cinema began to whisper to each other.

“Mr. Lincoln is interested in Draven? What kind of interest?”

“You don’t think… like that video with his uncle…?”

“Keep your voice down! Do you want to get on the wrong side of the Lincoln family?”
