Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 599

Just then, Lucius walked in. Seeing his grandmother’s fury, he took a seat beside her.

"Grandma, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Helena rubbed her temples, trying to soothe the tension building inside her.

"Every time I think about your Uncle Jagger rotting in that prison, it feels like a boulder is crushing my chest. I can't find any peace."

"Don't worry, Grandma," Lucius said reassuringly. "I've already made arrangements at the prison. They'll look after Uncle Jagger; he’ll be fine. We're also working on finding a suitable body double. Once we have someone, we can get him out and send him abroad."

Helena’s expression softened slightly at his words.

"Good," she nodded. "See that it's done quickly. No matter what trouble he’s caused, he is still my son. I won't let him suffer in there."

"I will." Lucius glanced at the skeletal figure of Josette. "My cousin will be back from his studies abroad soon. It wouldn't do for him to see his mother in such a state."

At the mention of her son, a flicker of hope ignited in Josette’s eyes.

That’s right, her son was coming home!

Although her son wasn't as formidable as Lucius, he was still a Lincoln by blood. Helena wouldn't dare torture her to death, not with her grandson about to return.

Helena grunted in agreement. She fixed her gaze on Josette and said flatly, "Did you hear that? Lucius is speaking up for you. For his sake, you no longer have to kneel in the chapel."

A sliver of light returned to Josette’s dull eyes.

"However," Helena continued, her tone turning menacing, "you will spend this time recovering. If my grandson finds out that I've been punishing you, I trust you understand what the consequences will be."

"I see."

"Mr. Lincoln, should we make a move to abduct him?"

"Haskell found him first. Trying to grab him from under Haskell's nose? That's a fool's errand."

A cold smile touched Lucius's lips. He recalled Solomon Palmer's earlier attempt to manipulate Haskell.

"But... we can use them to do our dirty work. Leak the news to Fraser and Solomon Palmer that Rigby is Haskell's real brother. They'll make a move."

The deadline for the Palmer family's patriarch to name his successor was fast approaching. Solomon had already tried to use Draven to force Haskell into a trap in Africa, but he had failed. Looking back, Haskell must have already suspected Draven wasn't his real brother, which was why Solomon's scheme never stood a chance.
