Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 615

Haskell hadn’t even had a chance to react to the director’s news before Sire let out a cold snort from behind him.

Rigby’s voice was laced with bitter sarcasm. “Mr. Palmer, Thatch is your father. If you couldn’t bring yourself to punish him, you could have just told us. You didn’t have to orchestrate this elaborate performance.”

Haskell’s eyes narrowed. He turned his wheelchair to face Rigby. “What are you talking about?”

“He’s gone because you sent him away, didn’t you?” Rigby shot back, his voice rising with anger. “Why bother having the director put on this act, pretending you knew nothing about it?”

“What?” the director stammered, breaking into a cold sweat. “What act?”

Haskell, surprisingly, laughed. “Why would I feel pity for Thatch? And why would I secretly send him away?”

“Because he’s your father,” Rigby said.

“He’s your father, too,” Haskell replied calmly. “And you weren’t planning on letting him off the hook.”

Rigby was momentarily speechless. “That’s different,” he retorted. “I’ve never met him. I have no feelings for him other than resentment for abandoning me. I wouldn’t hesitate just because he’s my father.”

Haskell nodded thoughtfully. “I see. So this is what you and Sire have been stewing over all day?”

Rigby was stunned that Haskell had seen through him so easily. He didn’t know how to respond.

Rigby’s jaw dropped. Haskell said it so casually, as if discussing the weather.

Larissa folded her arms. “It’s true. Haskell did that to force Thatch to tell him who he sold his son to all those years ago. If you still don’t believe him after that, then I don’t know what to tell you.”

Rigby was silent for a long moment, then glanced at Sire. “Sire… maybe we should tell Mr. Palmer about the package we received this morning.”

Sire said nothing, which Rigby took as tacit approval. He waited until the director had been dismissed before he spoke.

“We received a package,” Rigby began, explaining about the photos of his mother, Romilly. “The person who sent it told us her death wasn’t an accident, that Thatch orchestrated it. He also said you never planned to get revenge for her and had already secretly sent Thatch away.”
