Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 684

Larissa shrugged, completely unfazed. A mocking smile played on her lips.

“Struck by lightning? You mean karma? Of course I believe in karma. Why else would you be used like a fool by your own husband and end up in such a pathetic state?”

At those words, Vivica’s body went rigid. Her frantic struggles ceased as if she’d been petrified, her eyes wide with disbelief.

After a long moment, she found her voice. “What are you talking about? What do you mean my husband did this to me? You’re talking nonsense!”

Larissa’s smile was laced with a cruel, theatrical pity. “Oh, dear. You really don’t know, do you?” she said, feigning surprise. “The person who kidnapped you wasn’t me. It was your loving husband.”

“What… what did you say?” Vivica’s face turned deathly pale. Her lips trembled, but no sound came out.

“I said,” Larissa enunciated each word like a hammer blow, “the person who kidnapped you was your husband, Paxton.”

“You think I’d believe you?!” Vivica finally managed to scream, her voice raw with fury. “Stop slandering Paxton! He would never, ever do something like this!”

Larissa looked at Vivica’s unwavering trust in her husband and sneered. “Really? That’s what you said about Honora, too. You accused me of slander then, but how did that turn out? In the end, wasn’t I proven right?”

Vivica whispered, “Proceed as I normally would?”

Larissa nodded. “That’s right. My guess is, since you believe I’m the one who kidnapped you, you’ll be looking for a chance to expose me at my birthday party tomorrow, correct?”

Vivica’s lips moved, but she didn’t deny it. That had been exactly her plan.

Observing Vivica’s expression, Larissa pressed on. “And if I’m not mistaken, Paxton will add some fuel to the fire at the party tomorrow to escalate the conflict between us. Then, when you suddenly drop dead, I become the prime suspect. With me convicted of murder, the path is clear for him to return to the Judson family.”
