Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 634

[Mr. Palmer, you and Grandpa are both going to Ms. Judson’s birthday party, right?]

Haskell sighed at the formal address. “Mr. Palmer.” It was a constant, frustrating reminder of the distance between them.

He typed back: [Yes. Why?]

Rigby’s reply was almost instantaneous: [Can I go?]

Haskell’s eyes narrowed. Why would his brother text him so late at night just to ask about a party? Was he interested in Larissa?

The thought flickered through his mind, but he quickly dismissed it. If Rigby had feelings for Larissa, he wouldn’t be so bold as to provoke him like this. He knew perfectly well that Larissa was his brother’s fiancée.

Haskell replied: [If you want to go, of course you can. I’ll get an invitation for you.]

[Thank you, Mr. Palmer.]

[There’s no need to be so formal between brothers.]

Silence from the other end.

Haskell wasn’t bothered. Rereading the short exchange, he felt he understood Rigby’s motives perfectly.

...

The next morning at breakfast, Sapphira brought up the topic on everyone’s mind. “Larissa, I saw the news on Twitter. You really made a bet like that with that punk from the Lester family?”

“I did, Mom. Don’t worry, there’s no way I’m going to lose,” Larissa said with a smile. “He was the one running his mouth in the group chat, saying Starlight Media would go bankrupt within two months under my management. He deserves to be publicly humiliated.”

Neville looked puzzled. “But I’ve already assigned 001 to you. It’s far more effective than any gadget.”

“It’s not for me. It’s a gift for someone else,” Larissa explained, offering no further details.

Neville didn’t press. “Alright. I’ll bring it home for you tonight.”

After breakfast, Larissa headed to Starlight Media, where the online buzz about her bet with Milton was still escalating.

She was pleased to see how many people were following the drama. Free publicity, and all it took was a little high-stakes gossip. The public really did love a good scandal.

On top of that, the main cast for “Heaven's Will” had also been leaked.
